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.
