CONDON TEAM LOSES TO
HEPPNER IN SLOW GAME
TheHeppner ball team came
to Condon Sunday on a special
train, accompanied by a large
crowd of fans. The game which
was won by Heppner by a score
of 15 to 4 was,' as far as the
home team is concerned, the
poorest exhibition of the nation
al game ever seen on the Condon
diamond. Condon used three
pitchers and each one seemed to
be easy for the'Heppner batters.
Much of the bad playing is laid
to the fact that it was an unus
ually windy, disagreeable day.
