Taking but an hour and a half, the
closest and hardest fought game wit
nessed in this city for years thrilled
i the record crowd of the season when
lone and Heppner crossed bats at
hodeo field Sunday.
Arch Cochran, lone receiver, the
first man up, clouted the first pitched
ball for a three-base hit, starting
hings off with a bang. Werner Riet
mr.nn grabbed hold of the very next
delivery for a high fly to Anderson
in center, scoring Cochran. Pitcher
Drake made the mistake of throwing
across a couple of fat fence balls and
the two lone veterans were smart
enough to swing on them, netting the
visitors their oniy score of the day.
The stands were on edge when the
last half of the nir.th i.nd Heppnore
last trip up came. But they were not
held long in suspense. Van Matter
walked up first and after a couple of
deliveries got one that suited him.
He took it for a two-base ride into
deep center. Then LaMear grabbed
up a hickory and parked Mr. Davis'
next deliveiy in the cow barns, over
the midfield fence, for a circuit ex
cursion. It was a beautiful hit and
Fielder Eubanks had not yet found
the ball when LaMear trotted in
home. Of course that ended it. There
was no need to continue further as
Heppner had the game won.
The exciting start followed by clean
fast ball to a super-climax in record
time for a bush game, served to instill
the stands with a fighting spirit hith
erto absent in Heppner bull crowds.
The spectators as well as the players
were on their toes every second of
the hour and a half.
One inning lone's batters were re
tired on three pitched balls, while in
another Ileppner's gung went down
on four. Only three men reached first
base on errors. Two of these were
chalked up against Bristow, lone
shortstop, but he is not open to blame
bvnniuvi iiik (.iits way lie wait over-
worxca. mr. crisiow maae six put
outs and five assists, the fielding rec
ord for the game. The other error
was made on a throw by Thirdsacker
Cason to Hoskins at first which hit
the dirt and Hoskins failed to get it.
In the eighth lone had the only
other good chance to score. Fasnacht
and Mauney singled. Fasnacht out
on Lundell's fielder's choice to pitch
er. Cochran struck out. Werner
Rietmann hit by pitched ball filled
the' bases. But Drake ended it by
making Pitcher Drake a present of
a little roller. Davis and Drake each
allowed but five hits. Drake struck
out 10 batters to Davis' 5. lone got
eight men on bases, and Heppner 11.
"Ducky" Drake was credited with the
only stolen base.
This victory put Heppner in first
league place good and strong with
four wins and one lose. Arlington
won from Condon Sunday 6-4, tieing
Condon, lone and Arlington for sec
ond place. Next Sunday Heppner
plays at Condon and Arlington plays
at lone.

WHEAT SHOULD
MAKE BUMPER
CROP THIS YEAR
Lexington Business Man Gives
Encouraging Report on Mor
row County Crop Outlook.
"If the present prospects hold out
until harvest, ' Morrow county will
have the greatest yield of wheat in
her history," is the opinion expressed
to this paper by Karl L. Beach, Lex
ington implement dealer, who was in
the city a short time on Wednesday
afternoon. Mr. Beach is basing his
opinion upon a personal visitation to
the wheat fields covering the greater
portion of the county, that . he has
made during the past week, and his
survey of the situation has been quite
complete. He has taken in all of the
wheat belt with the exception of up
per Egiht Mile and the Hardman area.
and his long experience, covering a
r;eriod of about 30 years, spent in the
Lexington wheat belt, would seem to
qualify Mr. Beach as an expert wit
ncss when it comes to testimony
touching the crop outlook.
Mr. Beach finds the grain develop
ing steadily toward the heading out
stage and the cool weather that has
prevailed has been ideal for the great
er part of the county. The recent
cold snap has done no damage what
ever to growing grain in this county,
and in only one instance did Mr.
Beach find the grain was injured.
This was to a field of volunteer hard
federation on the McMurray place in
the lone section. This grain had de
teloped ahead of sown grain in that
vicinity and was in the boot when
the freeze came. Mr. McMurray
thought it so seriously injured that
he turned sheep on the ground and
pastured it off, after which he start
ed his plows in the field. It is barely
possible that this grain was not so
badly hurt as it appeared on first
sight after the freeze, but Mr. Mc
Murray was not concerned in waiting
to see what might happen to it.
While rain would help in moisten
ing up the surface of the ground, it
is the opinion of Mr. Beach, as well
as of others with whom we have con
versed, that should the rain hold off
for another week or two, it will be
all the better, as the excess of foliage
will by that time dry up, and the
rain will put the development into
! the heads.
Because of the cool spring, Mr.
Beach stated that he finds the farm
ers generally slow in getting ready
for the coming harvest. The crop is
developing so gradually, and condi
tions as to weather have been so
backward, that haste has not been
made in getting machinery in shape.
Usually by the first of May the con
ditions are such that farmers are
getting out their headers and com
bines and repairing them for work,
but not so this year. And yet, har
vest is not so far away, and develop
ment of grain will be quite rapid
Trom now on.
Barring adverse weather conditions
or some calamity, Morrow county
should have the greatest crop ir. her
history this season. We are justified
in making this prediction from pres
ent conditions and the further fact
that the acreage of both fall and
spring sown grain is larger than for
many years past.
Keep Historical Matter
In State, Is Requested
The following resolution adopted
by the Oregon Historical society, is
self-explanatory:
RESOLVED, That, in view of the
fact that much valuable material of
historical value and interest, in the
form of letters, journals, diaries,
printed newspapers, and state docu
ments, and museum articles, is pass
ing into the hands of private collec
tors and being sent out of the state,
the residents of Oregon be requested
to communicate with the Oregon His
torical Society or an officer thereof,
before parting with any such mater
ial, and that the press be asked to
assist in placing this request in the
hands of the public.
MARRIED AT PENDLETON.
The marriage of Miss Lois Lieual
len and Lester J. Gammel, of this
city, took place at Pendleton on Sat
urday forenoon at the home of Cecil
L. Lieuullcu, the bride's brother, Rev.

oaist church of Pendleton, officiating.
The wedding was attended by a num
ber of relatives and some friends of

A college authority gays college

Dr. Brown tells the Union College

Colleges treat boy3 from 18 to 23
as though they were men, whereas
usually they are children.
On the other hand the West Point
Academy seems to overdo disci
pline. A first-year cadet, A. J. Van
Leeuween, trying to stand straight
and stiff enough to please his super
iors, strained too hard and broke his
neck.
Young West Pointers, stiff and
straight, are fine to see and gratify

is an agile mind rather than a stiff
neck that makes a great soldier. Na

Lord Inchcape says missionaries

Everybody should know that mis

They have taught natives to take care
of their bodies as well as their souls.
Some of them, it is true; have made
money. The seven greatest sugar
fortunes made in Hawaii all belonged
to descendants of intelligent mission
aries. But what is there wrong about sav
ing the souls of heathen and making
a fortune, honestly, at the same time?
One, or ten, talents should not be bur

Major Coupal, President Coolidge's
physician, says some Egyptians had
false teeth. He has a set found in
the Nile mud made by the Greeks
who now sell you fruit and other
things.
Such teeth were rare. Even in
George Washington's day the making
of them was very clumsy. The an
cients went through old age without
false teeth or eye glasses.
No wonder they called old age "the
hateful road." -
The Egyptian Chamber of Deputies

Attorney-General Shaffer of North

store the death penalty for murder.
He says a burglar will shoot more
recklessly if he knows the worst pen
alty is life imprisonment. In fact,
those that practice robbery with vio

where there is no gallows or electric
chair.
Perhaps exceptions must be made
in these day3 of promiscuous shoot

Government sets an example in kill

We are more religious than the
people of England. There such ques

Immortality in Hell Heaven the
Divine Birth of Christ," etc., bring
all sorts of strange answers.
Here we usually answer "Yes" to
such questions.
Good times have something to do
