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.

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.
