One Team'Certain
to Fall on Friday the

Kitty Ball Standings
Won Lost Pet.
McNeill 2 0 1.000
Kleinfeldt 1 0 1.000
FFA 1 1 .500
Richardson 0 3 .000
Without assistance of an official
scorekeeper, kitty ball players are
generall agreed that Russell Mc
Neill's team has twice come out on
top in their two games to date, to
obtain lead position in the team
standings. The McNeill outfit took
the opener on Wednesday last week
by dumping Logie Richardson's
gang, then repeated by a good mar
gin Monday against FFA. Richard
son's mousers lost again Monday to
the Kleinfeldt tomcats, while FFA
tasted some sweet kitty meat last
evening by taking some more of the
Richardson fur.
That leaves Richardson's felines
with little but a purr for champion
ship hopes, while McNeill's wild
cats are making the back fences rock
with their howling; but the Klein
feldt and FFA clawers are still in
there doing plenty of hissing.
Tomorrow evening the Kleinfeldt
and McNeill cats will mix. With the
game falling on Friday the 13th, it's
hard telling how many black cats
will show up. It's certain an ill omen
hangs over the field, and it probably
bodes bad for the leaders. One team
or the other is bound to drop a notch
in the standings.
Too many exciting moments oc
curred in the games this week to at
tempt a detailed acocunt. A notable
outcome of last evening's fray, how
ever, was Bob Runnion with charley
horses enough for a centipede. Phil
Mahoney was a casualty last Fri
day when he took a hot line drive
in pitcher's box, and it is generally
noticeable that the kids are holding
up better in condition.
All told general improvement in
the playing is evidenced, and cat
fight or no cat fight, many exciting
moments are promised each Monday,
Wednesday and Friday evening un
til the schedule's end, June 3.

Stockmen Ready
For Big Jubilee -Meeting
May 20
Baker Planned as the greatest
gathering of real "grass roots" live
stockmen eve rto assemble in the
state of Oregon, the silver jubilee
convention of the Oregon Cattle and
Horse Raisers association is sched
uled for this city May 20 and 21.
Far more than just an ordinary con
vention is being planned by the of
ficers of the association and a gen
eral convention committee in this
city composed of John S. Jenkins,
Herbert Chandler and P. T. Fortner.
While the committee has arranged
some real headline speakers, plans
call for only the afternoons to be
devoted to formal programs, while
forenoons and evenings will be oc

this are restricted to real cow horses
and the contests are to be for the
most part concerned with actual

The purpose of the cow-horse con
tests and parade is to provide an ex
hibit of the best group of stock sad
die horses obtainable, says County
Agent Fortner, secretary of the gen
eral committee. Hundreds of entries
are expected for these events, as ar

railroads to transport horses free of
charge where parties of 25 or more
buy tickets.

and D. R. Phelps of the National
