Stone signed these notices well know ing the same to be invalid and that an election held in accordance there with would be illegal. , That on January 4. 1908, at said Invalid meeting, C. A.

That Jerry Stone has neglected and refused to call a legal meeting of the voters of district No. 29, but has at tempted to run the ffair himself. That he did on or about the 12th of April, 1908, himself, hire a teacher to fill a vacancy in district No. 29, which teacher has since the 14th of April been teaching in the public school of district No. 29.

(Signed) HOMER I. WATTS. Informant." Saturday Mr. Watts was In the city and urged the county superin tendent to act upon his complaint, de claring that If he did not he, the complainant, would take the matter up directly with the district attorney, or if the latter refused, with the gov ernor.

What the outcome of the fight will be remains to be seen, but there is a possibility tnat Interesting develop ments may be In store. w Married Sunday Evening. Miss Minnie Willoughby and C.

Commercial National Bank United States Depository IS: SECOND BEST SPOKANE TAKES FIRST IX BIG PULLMAN MEET .Muddy Held and Cold Day Work Hardships on PeiHlltton Sin-inters Jay and Lewtcr Moana Will Go to Seattle lxistou uiul OtikcMdnlc Tie For'Tlilrd Place Knapp Wins Individual Cup. On a muddy field that worked greatly td the disadvantage of the IVndleton sprinters Spokane won the field meet 'at Pullman Saturday with a score of 49 points, while Pendleton came second with 23. Oakesdale and Lewlston tied for third with 18 points each and from one to eight points were scored by eleven other schools in the meet. Walla Walla took but six points. Last evening the Pendleton boys, accompanied by Professor Hampton, returned home from Pullman. They say that it had rained hard the night before the meet and as a result the track was very heavy and the day was cold. This was disastrous for Jay, Kimball and the other Pendle ton sprinters for they are all light in weight and unused to running with their spikes filled with mud. But though they were unable to win the meet the local team has the honor of being second In a meet In which twenty-five schools participat ed and they will have two represen tatives on the Inland empire team that goes to Seattle for the Interschol astlc meet May 23. Jay and L. Means will be the two athletes to make the trip and they will have the pleasure of seeing the battleship fleet enter the sound.

PORTLAND GREYS EASY VICTIMS i PENDLETON' SCORES AT WLL IN SUNDAY'S GAME Ball Tocrs From the Metropolis No Macli For the Locals Conscience Smitten at the Terrible Slaughter Mfinjitrei Trfirrimor TSiL-pw 1rknd Out of the Box and Gives Kins' I Some Pract lee Error Column Is Well Filled. The Portland Greys were "easy picking" for Lorlmer's heavy hitters yesterday and those who anticipated a red hot game were disappointed. From start to finish the O. R. & N. boys were outclassed and though they wore pretty blue suits and were nice fellows they could not play ball in the class that Is now current here. Though the score stood 12 to 5 at the finish It really does not tell the story of the game for after Pendleton had secured a good lead the team played tag with their opponents and did not run up the high score they were capable ft. In the sixth Inning Jerry King, the team's old-time southpaw twlrler was put In the box in place of Parkes and he pitched during the remainder of the game In a manner that showed he still re membered how, Munson, the new catcher, was be hind the bat throughout the game and displayed some evidence of league experience, and Houten show ed cleverness by getting under bunts and by anticipating things In the neighborhood of third base. But the star work of the day was by Parkes when he knocked the ball over the fence Into the river and scored a home run. Some fine long distance hitting was also done by Baker and . other members of the team. The following was the game in de tail: J?endleton. A.B. R..B.H. P.O. E.

PENDLETON HAS TEAM OF RELIABLE STICKERS. r 1 Tracy Baker Leads the List Average for Entire Team Is Above .300 Fleldlnjr Averages Also Good Con rad Makes Bent Showing In Tills Particular Results Tabulated by Rader. This morning M. A. Rader, score keeper for the ball team, tabulate! the batting and fielding scores made by the eight regular Pendleton players and the result shows a wonderful high batting average. Tracy Baker, right fielder, now leads the list with an average of .429. In every game played this season, Lorlmer's team has batted well and Its victories have been largely due to the ability of every man on .the team to "hit the ball on the nose." The following shows the fielding and batting averages to date for the eight regular players. The other players have been "pick-ups," none of whom have played more than two games. King has played In but five games, Shockley six while all the others have played seven: Batting '.average. Van Houten 846 Conrad - .321 Gray 355 Parks .226 Lee 267 Baker .429 King. . , .348 Shockley 292 Average batting for the whole team, 315. This Is a wonderfully high average for a team. Very few indi vidual batters end a season with their average up to the .300 mark and a team that can average .250 Is high, so It will be seen that the Pendleton team Is phenomenal with the stick.
