HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, June 20, 1929 Subscription $2.00 a Year IRRIGON CLUB BAND i , I nnnmmn rnn nnnrn I uuiviimb run nuutu Dates Set for Sept. 26-7-8; McNamer Forsees Good Show This Year. Dates for the 1929 Heppner Rodeo have been set for September 26-7-8, announces C. W. McNamer, presi dent of the Heppner Rodeo asso ciation, who says that the show stock have all wintered well and plans are already well under way for one of the best western exhlbl tions ever staged In the local am phitheater. Of especial Interest to all Morrow county folk is the an nouncement that the Irrigon Club band has been obtained for the three-day event. Mr. McNamer feels that the asso ciation is extremely fortunate in obtaining the services of the noted school band from the little north end city, all the members of which are signed up in 4-H club work, a distinction that, so far as is known, can be claimed by few banda in the United States. In a state con test among school bands at Port land recently, the Irrigon band placed second for the whole state, While this band may not equal one composed entirely of profession al musicians, Mr. McNamer feels that they will prove even more pop ular with Morrow county people, for whom the Rodeo Is primarily staged. It is the Intention of the management to make the entire eel ebration as much of a home talent event as possible, encouraging local people to perfect their talents and keeping most of the proceeds at home. The Heppner Rodeo, non-profit sharing, has paid Its own way since its inception eight years ago, and wound up its performances last year entirely free from debt Thli was done in the face of a large deficit the first year which was most discouraging. However, persistent effort on the part of the manage ment, headed since the start by Mr. McNamer, has Bhown that their faith in the venture was justified, and besides paying Its own way since, the Rodeo association con structed the 1500-capaclty grand stand at the Rodeo grounds, which has been of great benefit to other enterprises besides the annual fall Rodeo. Mr. McNamer is looking forward to the most successful year of the Rodeo in 1929. HARDMAN. Bert Rlenkman was operated on for appendicitis last week but is getting along all right now.

Condon fans, it Is rumored, thot their home game wouldn't be much force Sunday, so many of them journeyed to Wasco to see the lea gue leaders play. The game wasn't one-sided in the way expected, bow ever, for the Heppner lads upset the dope bucket and treated the Condon veterans to a little 7-5 drub bing. The Heppner agereeratlon thereby joined the list of runner-ups in the Wheatland league, and the game at home Sunday with Wasco, now out In front, will decide wheth er our boys are entirely out of the running. Heppner had little hope of win ning when the boys went to Condon Sunday. A bushel of fight and de termination were among their best assets, and shortly after the game started it was plainly evident that these placed them in good stead these with the pitching of "Ducky" Drake, which is Improving as the season progresses towards the fin ish. A different looking score-sheet from usual carries the interesting story. In place of the many strike outs customarily chalked up against Manager Ferguson s proteges, there were a total of 11 safe hits and only two capital K's (the scorer's strike out symbol). , The Heppner young sters got next to Pitcher Rannow at the start, and gave him a bar rage with the heavy artillery. At the same time Drake was using his spitter to advantage and allowed but eight hits while taking 11 strike outs, all of which were held in the mlt of "Bus" Gentry, Heppner's duplicate of Micky Cochrane. It was Bus who staretd the hit ting bee in the first inning, clout ing out a triple. He scored on Drake's hit This gave the boys their one-run lead till the third can to when Hake's walk combined with hits by Thorn, Erwin, L. Turner and Sprouls netted four more tal lies. Hits by Erwin and Gentry accounted for another in the fifth. while Thorn's hit Gentry's advance when hit by a pitched ball, Drake's walk and a sacrifice fly by L. Tur ner was responsible for the final tally In the seventh. Condon's runs were obtained one in the third inning on two base hits by Brown and Ashenfelter, three in the fifth on Clow's single followed by B. Smith's double, Brown's tri ple and an error at third; and one in the ninth on Clow's two-bagger and two errors at first Though seven errors were chalk ed up against the Heppner boys. six or these were the result of bad throws and only one a direct field ing error. The wind was blowing a young gale which made fly balls hard to judge and accurate throw ing difficult The home boys are gaining strength every week, and showing improvement. With the addition at short of Bobby Turner, who played recently at Whitman, the infield has gained another val uable player. Saturday night the ball manage ment is sponsoring a benefit dance at the fair pavilion, with the Cole Madsen dance band of Portland fur nishing the music, and assure a good time to all who attend. Don't forget the games with lone on July 3 and 4 with dances each evening. HEPPNER B R H O A E Thorn. 1 . 3 10 2 9 0 2 11 0 Erwin. 1 Gentry, c Drake, p L. Turner, m Sprouls. 2 Hiatt s, r B.
