LEAGUE SEASQti Oil Weston and Pendleton Teams in Blue Mountain League Win Opening GamesPilot Rock Sunday Won, Lost. P. C. Pendleton 10 1.000 Weston 1 0 , 1.000 Athena 0 ' .000 Pilot Rock 0 1 s .000 The opening games in the Blue Mountain base tall league were won Sunday by Weston and Pendleton. Atbena lost to Weston by tbe sooie of 9 to 4, and Pendleton trounced Pilot Rock to the tune of 8 to 6. Tbe team from the Rock will play iu Athena Sunday and Weston meets Pendleton at tbe connty seat. Pendle ton is reputed to have some pumpkins in a new twirler named Harlan, who showed up well in the Pilot Book game, having 14 strikeouts to bis oredit, besides doing a clever 6tnnt or two with tbe bat. Lobagb was on tbe mound for tbe barley growers and did something himself, for in tbe sum mary of tbe game we read that he ozoned no lesa than 1Q of Frazier's men. ' , Tbe game at Weston was attended by a large orowd. Many Atbena fans found different ways of going over and baok. The game was not played in tbe 4th of July form, by any means, but there was plenty of bitting and streaks of ginger cropped out, giv ing an indioatiou of what may be ex peoted of the boys after gaining the advantage of oonstant praotioe whioh will insure team work and proper form. Athena started the scoring iu the seooud semester, when Lienalleu lined out a single? stole second and register ed on Groves' bit. The oavedwellers oame right back in the third with two singles and a double, which netted them a run and lambasted Stone in tbe fourth for five swats, one of whiob was a two-saoker, all of whioh were good for four more runs. 'Twas then that "Lefty" Smith mounted the mound and in the fifth served out puzzlers that caused a loll. Tbe lull was only temporary, however, for Nordean , first np in tbe sixth, stung one for two cushions. Tbns, tbe habit again started aud with two singles and a couple of errors the bell rang four more times. Mr. Wilson was oalled and stopped further bombardment In tbe seventh tbe Athena lads gave Weston a scare. When with two down, the score 0 to 1. and Weston rooters yelling like demons, Dell broke into tbe engagement with a single, DePeatt took Whoeler'a measure for a two base hit aud Groves scored both with a sizzling single. The little shortstop stole second and raoed home with the fourth tally when Smith sin gled. Tbe snore: B II E Weston 9 12 4 Athena 4 11 6 Battorles.
