COVE WINS FIRST BASEBALL GAME FINE RALLY IN NINTH INNING GIVES FOUR SCORES AND VICTORY. A fine batting rally by Cove in the ninth Inning, aided and abetted by a couple of untimely errors of play and a couple more of poor headwork by Enterprise, gave the visitors the first game of the series of three by the close score of8 to 7. The score was 7 to 4 in favor of Enterprise when Cove came to bat for the last time. Fred Mires, re lieved of pitching duty a couple of Innings before, saw It" was now or never if he was to save the game he had almost lost In the box. With nice judgment he picked out a big open epace In left center and plant ed there a smacking ' two-bagger. Catcher Conley duplicated the hit in almost the same place, scoring F. Mires. The next lu order on the bat ting list, E. Mires, had been help less before Bllyeu's curves the three times he had been at bat.eohe very considerately kept In the back-ground and Carter, the head of the batting order, came to the plate with a "its-my-turn-air" and pushed a teaser to second, and ran all the way to that base when Pldcock threw wild to third la an eadeavor to catch Con ley, the latter scoring on the error. Walters went out on a fly to R. Pid cock, but Haeffer was given life on Hug a short throw to Marvin and Im mediately stole second. Allen reach ed first while Carter was being put out at the plate, Hug to W. Pldcock. Smith then pushed out a timely single, scoring Haffer and Allen. Kail ended the swat.'eit by grounding out, R, Pldcock to Marvin. Four runs and one to the good. Enterprise coald do nothing In Its half, Marvin grounding out to first, Ililyeu strik ing out and Pae gave the pitcher an easy one. The game," raple'e with ' batting, base running and errors, was inter- eating from start to finish. Hug dm the unusual, for hlra, by striking out his first time up, but R. Pldcock laced out a single, went to third o:i Marvin's pretty hit and raceil homo when Haeffer threw wild to th3 plate aHer a nice stop of Bllyeu's bounder. Both Marvin and Bllye , were loft on base, as Pace and Bau er could not connect successfully Another score was added in the nex' Inning. W. Pldcock went out, third to first, Savage walked but was caught stealing. French walked, stole second and came home easily o:. Hug's long two-bagser. R. Pldcock ended the seance by being hit wit1.i the ball as he made third strike. In the fourth Bauer reached firs! on a fumble by F. Mires, stole sec ond and then third after W. Pldcock had gone out on fly to center. Sav age as usual was a good waiter, and I purloined second on the first ball pitches. French was given life on a wild throw to first by F. Mires but Bauer was put out at the plate when he tried to score on the error, "Casey going to second and Savage to third on the play, whence both scored on Hug's long single. R. Pldcock made the third out when the left fieldei hung on to his fly. All was quiet until i the sixth, When Bauer reached first by (Continued on last page.) FOOD FOR FAN 3. The second game with Cove Is be ing played this, Friday afternoon.. Cove was to have played Wallowa, Wednesday, but for several reasons Wallowa cancelled the game, and a third game will be played here Sat urday afternoon. Bilyeu Is pitching for Enterprise this afternoon and he will be in the box a3ain Saturday. The Cove team Is composed of a fine lot of fellows, and as a number of wives and sweethearts accompany them, the grand ball to be given to night will be all the more enjoyable. Cove's little mascot, Sherman Ilees, must be given some credit for that ninth Inning rally. It made a win ner of an almost sure lost game. Miller's umplilng was the best ssen for a long time. His Judgment on balls and strikes was splendid and all three pitchers were well satis fied. The home team made a bad slip when It failed to notice Cove run nlng In a good batter In place of nrmr nna In the fateful ninth. Hug had an off day In fielding, his miscues aiding In the "coring of five ! runa. Just the number he brought In by his mighty hitting. At that 1 . . . ..V. ...lit. 10 1 he aaa a Dusy aay ai "un wnii 1 chances offered. Two of his erro were of the "near" variety. Bilyeu pitched his usual steady game but wag hit when hits meant m iunAA Iia otPiiilr ntlt. Smith the first four time3 hut the latter cracked out the hit in the ninth that won the game. Pidcoik caught finely, but the rest of the support was ragged, as sight errors show. Savage reached first every time up, twice on bnsos on balls, twice on hits, stole throe bases and 'scored' two runs. Haeffer made a fine stop of a sro-.uuler nlmost back of first. There was a big crowd out and it certainly got it3 money's worth. The Enterprise club leaves for the 3utside Monday, June 28, plays Cove June 2D and 3), Union July 1 and 2. An endeavor is being made to ar range a game with La ' Grande on luiid zi, alio ta get Elgin to play nere next Monday. Elgin and Cove play at Joieh Sunday forenoon, Joseph and Wallawa playing In tha afternoon. Protection Denied ! Auction at Joseph i E. B. Wheat Forced To Closs Hi3' i Sale By Disorderly Crowd. , E. B.

Thl license was paid and a sale hold I: the afternoon and a;i attempt mad' to hold a sale in the evening. The night sa!e wai interrupted b; loud criea and other noises by n gang of boys and men both wlUil and without the bulluing, bo it wa almost impossible for the auctlonee to make any headway. Someone t' '.he doar pulled down the e'.ectrlc light wire, leaving the room in dark ness. Two oil lamps were procure and the sale proceaded after a fash ion in spite ofth? nolsoand Intorrup tions, which were redoubled. Po.iii ing on the windows and Bide of the building added to the din. Mr. Wheat sny3 ho looked all ovei town in search of police protection but could get none. The sale had to be clo:ie:l, and the next day Mr. Wheat says he wai told by theacthi' mayor that the action of tho mob had the approval of tho city council, and wa.i refused a renewal of the license the next day. Mr. Wheat claims that one of the nio.it prominent busUiess men and ai officer of the city was a moving Jplrit in the attack on the sale, but hat a number of the be.st people of the town deprecated the outrage and so told him the following day. Mr. Wheat's account Is verified In most part by Mr. Taylor of Spokane, who with his wife was visiting her people In Joseph, lie says it wo the most outrageous treatment ha iver saw. He also says the business man above noted took an active part, in tho attack, and several severed (Continued on last page.) 160 Acres Good Wheat Land miles from En- terprise. Per acre W. E.
