POLLARD COMPANY
OPENSMM
Excellent Programs Are
Set for Chautauqua
Starting Saturday.
Heppner's annual free Chautau
qua opens Saturday night under
the big brown tent with one of the
best programs ever presented here.
The opening performance is to be
the best drawing card possible to
secure an up-to-date comedy play,
"The Clean-Up." It is the story of a
modern wife who gets the political
bee in her bonnet and decides to
run for mayor and clean up the
town. This campaign of hers is, of
course, strictly against her hus
band's wishes and since she has hir
ed the most disreputable political
boss In town the complications
which result work up Into a very
clever and amusing comedy. Bob
Pollard and Mrs. Pollard, who head
the cast will be remembered here
as the people who carried off -the
show In "Applesauce" which was
presented here last year and which
was one of the hits of the Chautau
qua season. Mr. and Mrs. Pollard
put "The Clean-Up" over in the
same splendid manner in which
they put over "Applesauce" last sea
son. Sunday afternoon Heppner people
will have an opportunity to hear
and see a group of real high class
radio musical artists, the Corine
Jessop Radio Warblers. Miss Jes
sop and her company give a won
derful and varied radio musical
program without the static, letters
from listeners, market reports, and
such that one gets when listening
In on a good musical program. They
play popular music as well as class
ical music and vary their program
with special stunt numbers and
readings by Miss Jessop who is a
real comedienne and who is known
as "the personality girl." Miss Fern
Zlnzer, cellist, who has been in the
Chicago Civic orchestra is also in
the company and is a musician of
high standing.
Sunday evening the Radio Warb
lers give a highly entertaining pro
gram which, as they call it, is "A
good time festival around the mi
ctaphone." Following their evening
program Mrs. Harold Peat, wife of
the famous war hero, "Private
Peat" and a woman who has had
more colorful and vivid experiences
In her life than most people would
have in a hundred years, talks on
"The International Future of Our
Children." Mrs. Peat was In the
World war. was wounded in the
war, and tells in her individual way
of her experiences. Mrs. Peat is
a native of Ireland and has that
rare wit possessed by most of her
countrymen. Her one talk is worth
coming miles to hear.
Monday afternoon Olivar's Phllll
plne Troubadours, a group of native
South Sea Islanders play and sing
their native music as only their
race can. For their evening pro- j
gram, "A Night In the Philliplnes,"
the Troubadours carry special scen
ery and lighting effects which com
bined with their music and singing
carry their audience back to the
South Sea Islands with them.
George T o o m e y, athlete-orator,
gives a forceful and interesting talk
on "Kicking Goal" Monday evening
following the musical program.
A red letter day on the Chautau
qua program is Tuesday, the final
day of the season, when the Bob
Hanscom players are on the pro
gram. In the afternoon the play
company gives an informal matinee
consisting of clever little one-act
plays and comedy skits. In the eve
ning they present one of the finest
plays of the century, "Smilin' Thru."
This play is especially good and
presented perfectly by the Hanscom
cast. It is one of the features of
the season which no one can afford
to miss.
Junior work for the children will
be given again this year as before
with new and exciting things plan
ned In which all the kiddies in town
can take part. The plans for the
Junior Chautauqua will be announ
ced from the platform Saturday
evening.

entitled to fight, regulate weights,
and (n fact see that the public gets

fight fans have been working hard
to obtain the commission and ex

which the matter was greeted by
the mayor and council.

Arlington and lone were the vic
tims of a Heppner one-Inning hit
ting rally, Thursday and Sunday,
when the locals played both games
away from home Thursday at Ar
lington and Sunday at lone. It was
the first inning in the Arlington
game and the sixth against lone,
Heppner making five runs on each
occasion. The games ended Hepp
ner 5, Arlington 0; Heppner 8, lone
2.
Fans at Arlington were treated
to a rare exhibition of baseball. Af
ter the fateful first inning in which
five Heppner men crossed the plat
ter, not a score was made. "Ducky"
Drake pitched his prettiest game so
far this season, striking out 13 bat
ters, and allowing but four hits. A
total of five Arlington men reached
first base, two of whom got to third.
After the first inning, "Toots"
Montague also pitched a beautiful
game, and allowed but six men to
reach first. The first half of the
first was too bad, however. The
entire roster of Heppner batsmen
faced Toots on this occasion. Thorn
walked and took second on Erwin's
scariflce, scoring on Gentry's two
bagger. Drake singled knocking
the ball far enough across the ditch
to have been counted a homer on
any regulation lot and Gentry
went third. Turner fouled out to
Catcher Flsk; Gentry and Drake
scoring on successive singles by
Sprouls and DeVaney, and the lat
ter two making It home on "Bub"
Bleakman's three-base clout Dale
Blcakman fanned for the third out
At lone, the game was nip and
tuck with no scores up to the sixth.
Lanky "Larry" Ritchie was holding
the Heppner boys in fine style, while
Drake pitched his usual good game
throughout. But Ritchie was
doomed to face the entire Heppner
line-up In the sixth. Erwin walked,
and scored on Gentry's triple-sack-er,
the latter scoring on Drake's
single. Drake stole second 'and
Turner walked. Sprouls fanned,
and Drake and Turner advanced on
DeVaney's single, all three runners
scoring when after an attempt, to
catch Drake at home the ball was
thrown away at second by Pitcher
Ritchie in an attempt to land De-
Vane. Bub Bleakman fanned. Dale
Blcakman singled, and Thorn
struck out Two more Heppner
tallies came in in the seventh when
Erwn and Gentry, both of whom
walked, scored on Drake's hit The
last tally was In the eighth when
Bub Bleakman singled, advanced
on Catcher Akers' bobble of Dale
Bleakman's bunt, and scored on Er
win's fielder's choice to second.
Ione's first score came In the
sixth, a three-base clout by Richard
Lundell followed by Rietmann s
single. The other was in the ninth,
Rietmann knocking a three-bagger
followed by Frank Lundell's single.
Manager Bert Johnson relieved
Ritchie In the box for the last in
ning and took the first three batters
up.
Heppner's youngsters have been
finding themselves since the shake
up of a few weeks ago which placed
many of them In new locations and
their batting averages have been
picking up also with the gaining of
more confidence with the stick.
"Bus" Gentry finished his third
game Sunday behind the bat, and
that he upheld his end of Drake's
13 strikeouts without a dropped
third strike, is evidence enough that
he is already working like a veter
an. Crocky Sprouls is making tne
hard ones look easy at second, and
three hits out of four times up at
Arlington shows that he's hitting
the ball as well. Erwin at first has
played errorless ball since acquiring
that sack in the shake-up, as has
"Bub" Bleakman at third. The
Bleakman cousins, "Bub" and Dale,
are both taking a nice cut at the
ball. Dale has ail the form of a big
league outfielder, and his throw into
home of a three-base hit Sunday,
catching a runner at the plate, was
as pretty a throw as may be seen
in any league.

means of preventing this country
engaging in war in the future. Mr.
Galloway is a very pleasant speaker
and his address was well received.
Following is the program as car

FORMER PASTOR VISITS.
At the Methodist church Sunday
morning a large audience gathered
to greet Rev. Henry Rasmus, for
merly pastor of the church, who
with Mrs. Rasmus and his sister,
Mrs. Lena Bradbury, arrived here
on Saturday afternoon from their
home at Glcndale, Calif., en route
to Spokane. Dr. Rasmus was a
young man when he came to Hepp
ner 43 yeras ago, and was just start
ing in the ministry. At the time he
reached Heppner and began his
work here the membership of the
Methodist church was 14 and they
had no building. He remained at
Heppner for several years, during
which time the membership was
greatly increased and the present
church building was erected. Mr.
Rasmus also took a fling at news
paper work, and for several monhts
was editor and proprietor of the
Heppner Gazette, purchasing the
paper from John W. Reddington,
and then disposing of it to Otis
Patterson, retiring from the game
before really becoming afflicted
with newspaper itch, but he does
not regret the experience. Having
known Rev. Mr. Rasnlus for some
40 years, the editor of this paper
certainly enjoyed meeting up with
him Saturday evening and talking
over old times, and found that while
he had advanced In years along
with some of the rest of us, he was
still the genial soul of other days,
and the years of devotion to hard
work incident to a successful min
istry, and Father Time had dealt
kindly with him. Many old friends
were glad to be at the services on
Sunday morning to hear Mr. Ras
mus recount some of the experi
ences of the early days at Heppner.
He was assisted in the morning
worship by the pastor, F. R. Spauld-
Ing and a large choir. Dr. Rasmus,
wife and sister departed on Monday
morning for Spokane. While in the
ctly they were guests at the home
of Mr. Rasmus' nephew, Orville
Rasmus and wife.
IIARDMAN RESIDENCE BURNS.

ated in Heppner shortly after noon
on Saturday, when the report came
in that the town of Hardman was

zens piled into their automobiles

but on arriving there it was discov
ered that the residence of Mrs.

tunity for the pioneers to get to
gether and visit and know that
much of the enjoyment of the occa
sion is obtained in this way.

tend the programs. It will be well
