Si Thousands Turn Out For Tygh Celebration Tygh Valley Fair Grounds Scene of Bluest Tim in Tho History of Wasco County , The celebration of the 16Ut n nivertury of American independence was duly observed at the fair ground nt Tygh Volley on Sunday and Mpn duy. C. M. Plyler hud tho celebra tion In charge and' with his custo mary thoroughness hod prepared a pro'gram of artistic and sporting merit that long will live In the, minds of the thousand who witnesed It. Tho flrat day'i crowd was not large enough to take up all spuco available, but Monday saw nearly a'l parking spuce occupied by autos, while the grandstand was packed to capacity during tho program. ( A usuul Maupin was called to provide the greater part of tho muid cnl program, On tho list of artists were Mesdomes Bothwcll, Wood cock and Wilson who carried out Jhc vocal end. Mrs. Bothwcll also con tributed to the Instrumental part of the day, whilo Miss Winifred Kaiser was down for a mandolin solo. Mrs. Lloyd Woodttlde rendered a charac ter Interpretation and N. G. Hcdln also contributed a vocal aolo one which brought all present to their feet "The Star Spangled Banner." Several numbers were rendered by talent from The Dalles, as well as one or two by artlsta from Portland. ! Tho Great AH Din, heralded as be ing a mystic, advertised as perform ing the seemingly impossible feat of driving an auto around tho race track blind-folded, was another fea ture of the celebration. All made the drive, bit the advertised speed of 25 mile 'an hour wns somewhat of an exaggeration. As he drew up In front of the grand stand Manager Plyler laid a five dollar bill on the ground, All backed away, and after two or three attempt, managed to plant one of the machine's wheels squarely on the piece of currency. Tho aviator, J M. Lloyd, who was scheduled to make flights in his plane, proved ho was no Lindbergh, in that his flights were only of Iho imagination. He failed to appear, tho reason given being that It was raining in Portland. His absence was great disappointment to the vast crowds. The horse races, were very good, but it was noticed that but few en tries were made in each event. Those there, however, gave the audience all the thrills usual at a race meet. The baseball game between Tygh Valley and tho Maupin Stubble Jumpers was the real quill of the Fourth. There has been more or lest Btrong Vlvalry botwecn the teams all summer, and of the games played prior to this lust one each team has taken two. The recent game was to decide which team Was entit'.cd to the pennant for this section. Tygh Vailey went to bat flint and drew a blank. Their next try netted th esame score, but in their third two runn.-rj crossed the in. H'li, first man up was given a pass; Jack Chastain was thrown 'out nt firet: Malone hit a single, went to third on a wild heavo by Miller. Joe Chas tuin followed with a little binglo, ad vanced to second when Confer made a failure of getting Miller's throw. Came home on Brittaln's ripping single. From then until the ninth inning the Tygh boys were treated cd to a run of goose tgfrs. In the ninth Muller drove one through Fra ' ley, went to- third on Willis Norval'a double and wns out at the plate," Con fer to Miller. On that play Norval ambled to third, and scored on a fielder's choice on Padgett's little wratch. Padgett got to second on the play, advanced to second when Morris scratched Hill on both hands with a pitchbl ball and came home on Malone's out, Bonney to Fraley. That gave the Valley boys a total of five, which tied the score. . Eubanks was first up for the Jumpers. He lined one out for a safety, went to third on Doughton's hit and came home when Norval fail ed to gaher in a wild pitch by Jack Chastain., The next two frames were blank. In their fourth the Jumpers opened up by Miller pounding out a fine double. Nye went out, Brittain to Joe Chastain. Hay Crabtree. leaned againct the sphere for sT two-bagger, on which Miller came home. Fraley got on on a fielder's choice, stole second, went to third when Tygh attempted to get Ray at third and crossed the plate on Bonney'a liner. Score up to that time, Jumpers 4, Tygh 2. Miller was first up in the fourth. He duplicated his performance of t hethlrd, lining out a two-bagger. Went to third when Nye flew out to Joe Chun tain and came home on a throw to kill Ray Crabtree at ccond. Ono tally was all the Jumpers gath- cred In that frame. The next three tries were blanks for the Muupinitcs, j but in the ninth, with the score tied i our boys began a hectic inning. Fra-i le yfle wout to first; Miller was there with his big stick, lining out a neat ningio. Nye then hit for two and j Don f inlnhed the circuit when Joe Chuiutain fumbled Raymond Crab tree's Litilo liner. That , won the championship for Maupin, beating our neighboring team out by the narrow margin of one tally.
