The Oregonian saya the Enterprlse-Wallowa County I float was second only to Seattle's in interest, and stock raisers vowed 1F the porkers were a fair sample of liogs raised In Wallowa county, there they were going to locate. The Evening Telegram said: En terprise (Miss Edna Browning, queen) had for Us theme the cattle, sheep and swine Industries, and the mon ster hog surrounded by a litter of cunning pigs made a hit all along the line. The Journal: Enterprise, capital of Wallowa county, showing its su premacy in cattle and hog raising by representations of monster pigs and steers. Miss Edna Browning rode one of these prize steers as queen of the float. The parade was viewed by 300,000 people and the different community floats were closely scrutinized.

Maxwell threw to Hug who in re'a. lug to third threw wild the ball gol ig Into the crowd back of third. Un ler the ground rule? Marvin was entitled to home base nnd he trotted to tie plate. Mecn while someone In the 'crowd blocked the ball, threw it to the Wallowa third .ascman who sent it to Catcher Max well, ahead of Marvin, the latter tak ing his time ai he waa entitled to the base under the ground rules, but Morelwk ca'led him out. The Enter prise team put up a strenuous kick against such b:ire aced - robbery but to no avail. He also 'refused to call it a block ball which, If there had been no gro.iml rules, ' should have been done, and thut would have al loweil not only Marvin but also liil yeu to score. The latter had got on by the baiej on balls route. The first man up for Wallowa In Its third Inning, Hug, drove a "grounder . to French who thtew wild to first, and Mr. Morolock a l )we.l Hug to trot to lecond. That showed plainly he un derstood the ground rules. There wasn't any doubt of that howover, as he waa told Hie agreement by the captains within the hearing of the wilier. The other excessively rank decis ion, was In the sixth inning, when Johnson knocked a base, hit to loft center but tried to stretch it Into double but the ball was cleanly fielded and Pace had It waiting for JoliiiHon before he was In eight feet of the biwe and touched Johnson without difficulty, the latter making no attempt to slide. The umpire was within 40 feet aid locking directly at the play, yet called It safe. ICven the madly partisan crowd of Joseph and Wallowa shouters couldn't shout over that. Kveryboly was dumbfound ed. A Ia Grande man sild It was the worst decision he had ever seen on a ball field and only one expla nation could be given It. Johnson scored a minute liter on Hayes hit. The latter was lsft on Maxwell'a fly to It. Pidcock, bo but for tho crass decision 01 John 4011 no runs would have been score! thai Inning. These two de- Islons gave Wallowa one score mo:e tlian they earned, and deprived Kn'erprlse of at least one, which would have re vers id core. These two decisions were enough to change the remit, bin were not all by any means. Hoth pitchers suffered o;i balls nnd strikes those against Knterprlso coming, however, when they would do the most harm, as for Instance when he called Savnge out on two strikes In the sixth Innlm;. One score wn In and two me:i 011 bases. The first threo balls pit: lied to 8avai?e were balls and were called balls by the um pire and the next two strikes, where upon Morelock nllcd lilm out. He tried to excuse his action by saying he had calif 1 tire firm bull pllcln-d a strike. It was In reality a wild pilch that s'ruck In front of tho plate on which Mnxwe ) made a splendid slop. Hut for the rank umpiring, It would have been a very Interest Ing guiue, with a close score and strenu ous rooting by the big crowd, lly a 0118 rooting by the big crowd.
