Tho Wallowa Signal is urging that
steps bo taken for tho construction of
a wagon road from Wallowa to tho
mouth of tho Grand Hondo river to

says tho proper development of our

than tho one wo now have, and tho
most convenient and practicable route
leads to one of these points. There are
times when the road to La Grando be
comes practicably impassable, and tho
pcoplo of Wallowa are greatly incon
venienced by having no other outlet.
Was a road built from hero to either of
the points mentioned, these inconven

THE
HAKKH CITY UASE HALL
TOUHNA M KNT.
The first, day of the tournament
found tho following clubs, viz : Maker
City, Pendleton "Stars," Iioise City,
Grando Hondo and North Powder leg
istered at various hotels in Maker City,
each feeling confident of earryingaway
either second or third, if not first
money. Much disappointment was
manifested by the large number of
lovers of the great national game in
attendance, at tho non-appearance of
the Waitsburg and Arlington clubs,
but they consoled themselves with the
thought that five good clubs were on
the programme, and that everything
bid fair for the clubs represented to
show consideiable skill in handling
tho ball and bat, as each seemed deter
mined to win, and that their friends at
homo should not be ashamed of them.
The Maker City and Pendleton clubs
had imported batteries, while, the other
three were composed entirely of homo
talent) notwithstanding which fact the
first mentioned clubs had to get in and
do their best in order to do the other
boys up.
KIIiST DAY.
The first game on tho programme,
and the one in which the fewest errors
were made, was between the Moito and
Maker nines. Mr. Cannon, tho catcher
for tho Moise boys, established a good
reputation as a baseballist, ho being
fully as good a catcher as the one im
ported by Pendleton, and the beat all
round player in tho tournament. The
game was hotly contested throughout,
as will be seen by the following score:
1 2 M o (1 7 8 !)
Moise 0 0 100000 12
Maker 00 1 0 10 1.1 .1-7
The next game of the first day was
set for 2:!10 p. in., and was between tho
North Powder and Pi ndleton nines.

much for the boys and thev were bail-

Grande Hondo and Maker City were
on the lii-t for the morning game. In
the first inning Maker scored f runs,
but the boys from Grande Hondo held
them level fur tho nst of the game.
Matott of tho G. It's, did some ollective
work in tho box. Smith, who is as
good if not a belter pitcher than any
m attendance, was unable to play in
his position, on account of tho condi
tion of his arm, and had ho been able
to take his place in the box, we pro
diet tho result would have been differ
ent. Tho following is the score:

In tho afternoon tho Moise and
North Powders came together. Tho
playing was loose on both sides and
tho score run up high, standing 18 to
13 in favor of Boise. Tho only distinc
tion the N. P. boys received during tho
tournament was in this game, and con
sisted in one of its members making
an earned homo run. The ball was
landed wit :out tho limits of the grounds
and the base runner had safely passed
tho homo plate long before tho ball
was in the diamond.
THIIID DAY.
The Pendleton "Stars" and Grande
Ponders came together in the morn
ing, and although tho latter club
worked nobly, thu former "done thorn
up" in good shape. During the game
friends of the chain in the grand stand
became too euthusiablie and tho result
was a row, which, however, was amica
bly sotted befoto any blood was shed.

The third and last game of the day
was between Grande Hondo and Moise
City. The former took the lead from
the start and defeated the latter by a
score of 11 to 1. The G. H. club done
some excellent work in the game,
few errors were made. Tho ba'tcry
consisted of Matott and Foster, who
established a reputation. Levy made
a fine fly catch. The score is as fol

LAST DAY.
Sunday morning found four of tho
Moiso nine on their way home, not
withstanding they were booked for a
combat with Pendleton at U:30. The
remainder, gentlemen us they were, de
termined not to disappoint the expec
tant spectators, secured the services of
three from the N. P. nine and one
from the G. H., viz: Shaw, Deacon,
Stewart and Sloeinn, and were on the
ground at the stated time, in uniform.
The game would have been won by
the Moise's were it not for a mistaken
decision of the umpire, which he after
wards admitted. The score stood 8 to
0 in favor of Pendleton.
At 3:30, the game of tho tourna
ment, between Maker City and Pendle
ton, the heretofore successful clubs,
commenced, the lesult to decide who
should carry away the highest honors
and the first prize. Pools sold tho
night before two to one in favor of Ma
ker City. The grand stand was packed
and a string of people from 1 to S deep
stood in front the entire length of the
ground. Pendleton took tho lead from
the beginning and their friends were
over-jubilant as was shown by tho way
they "yelled" and threw their Harrison
and Cleveland hats in tho air. It was
the closest game of the tournament, as
will be seen bv the score:
