MATTERS ARE ADJUSTED
AT LEAGUE MEETING
Word Amateur Is Stricken from By
law of Association Other Busi
ness. . -tii
Never again will the misnomer,
"amateur,"' be applied to the Blue
Mountain league. A thick, heavy line
was drawn through that word wher
ever it appeared in the by-laws last
night at a meeting of the league of-'
ficers and representatives of the six
clubs. Another restriction upon the
management of the teams was also
wltMdrawn when the article declaring
that all members of any team roust
be bona fide residents of the city In
which, they play was amended by the
addition of a clause by which it is
now possible to draw from adjacent
towns.
The meeting last night was the re
sult of several protests , which had
been made to President L. G. Fra
zier, which protests were based upon
alleged violations of amateur pro
vision. Inasmuch as the term
"amateur," was not defined in the
bylaws, the president had nothing
upon which to base a decision. There
fore the meeting.
After some discussion. It was prac
tically admitted that there is not a
man in the league who is strictly an
amateur and the word was therefore
voted out of the by-laws. However,
this decision does not mean each
town is to have a salaried team. It
is still unlawful to pay a player for
his services and to prevent manag
ers from sending to northwest and
coast towns for the use of a player
over Sunday, the league adopted an
amendment forbidding the playing of
any man who is under the control of
organized baseball. Thus Athena can
not send for any more Soldier Frincks
to assist in fleecing Walla Walla and
the Garden City will have to give up
Hunky Shaw or show his release from
San Francisco.
Complaint was made that Athena
has been drawing from Adams for
players. Walla Walla from Touchet,
and Echo from Stanfleld and Her
miston, and to do awsy with this, the
league voted to allow any team to go
into the nearest town for players pro
viding that town was not closer to
one of the other league cities. Thus
Pendleton can not draw from Adams
unless the player is not wanted by
the Athena team.
Practically the only other business
transacted was the raising of the
fine for violation of any of the ar
ticles from $10 to $50.

lodge the hoodoo from their banner.
The game will be played at Roundup

PENDLETON ATHLETES
READY FOR MEET

the fray, the athletes representing the
Pendleton high and grade schools will
leave In the morning for Athena,
where they will participate In the
second annual Umatilla county track

meet this year and some exciting
contests are assured. Athena claims
to have a man who can defeat Boy
len, the crack miler of this city,

and Quadruped Imported.
New York. What is perhaps the
long-sought missing link between
quadrapedsand birds has just been
brought here from Colombia, and will
be presented to some museum or zo
ological society.
Similar in general aspect to the
remarkable orinthorhynchus of Aus-r
tralla, which has a bill like a duck;
although- distinctively a quadruped,
the creature Is covered with a growth
almost feather-like and brilliantly
colored in red and green, shading to
white on the under parts.
It Is four-footed, looks something
like a cross between a beaver and a
badger, an demits a plaintive note
when annoyed. It is about 20 inches
long and half as high. .,

Most of the 1010 Crop la Sold.
, Colfax, Wash. Local grain men
estimate that between 80 and 95 per
cent of last year's grain has been
moved. This Is a much larger pro
portion of the crop than what had
been disposed of the 1909 crop ayear
ago. The has advanced due to local
demand In spite of a weakening in
the eastern markets. Local dealers
are now paying from 87 to 74 cents.
All Indications point to a bumper
crop for this season. The grain,
which Is up, shows a fine stand and
the acreage sown this year Is larger
than ever before.
The ground Is molt from rain and
snow, which soaked in at the time
of the spring thaw, and several rains
have fallen.
