Tho sporting editor of this paper v a sad
ly disappointed, upon arriving at La
Grande hist Saturday, to find that only a
part of tho Unlon-Coye baseball aggrega
tion was upon tho grounds, and that tho
prospect for a close gamo was not very
llattoring. The boys present, however,
after a spirited tluhate between iheniKClvos,
concluded to play the 0. tt. A K. boys,
rather than return, although they admitted
that thoy had no chauee of wlnuiug. After
securing two boys from tho Uniou 'kid
club" and two from La Grundo to complete
the nine, game was called with Uniou at
bat, they being put out in one, two. three
order, La Grande tcored nine run in tho
first iuuiiig, all of which were made by
gross e rror by the tielder of the visiting
club. Tho visitors were repeatedly white
washed until tho fifth, whon Itnuauin mado
a score, while the 0. R. & N club nmnagod to
get in from ono to three each Inning aftor
the first. Following i tho

The game wan characterised by extreme
ly poor fielding on tho part of thu visiting
club and few errorvon the part of the homo
team. Deacon pitched wild at first, show
ing a lack of practice in tho box, but after
bu got buttled down he held nearly uli the
balls, that were butted, within tho Infield.
He struck out 11 men, while Mutott treated
;t in a similar manner, llaird redeemed
himself in this game by making numerous
bright play on llrt, he being, with one or
two exception, the only member of the
visiting club that did any work worthy of
especial nutrition.
This victory for tho O. It. K. team
makes it neeew-ary to piny tho third game
of the series to decide who aro tho cham

ihe loss of people in the cities, whole train
