Battle for Cellar Post
Features League Play
THIS WEEK'S GAMES
Fossil at Condon
lone at Wasco
Arlington at Heppner
Play in the Wheat-Timber league
seems to center around four teams
struggling, net to get to the top,
but to make' the cellar position se
cure. So far Wasco has priority
nn ihp snot, with Heppner, lone
and Arlington striving to .get there
Right now two teams are tied for
top round Condon and Fossil
three are tied for second place.
Ione's stock looked up a little when
the Egg City boys took Arlington
to the cleaners in Sunday's engage
ment, while Heppner continued cel
larward at the hands of Condon to
the tune of 19 to 9.
With Drake on the mound, Hep
pner started off to good advantage
with a lead of 7 to 2 up to the fifth,
inning. In the sixth the Condor,
batters got on the beam and pro
ceeded to knock the ball over the
lot for a total of nine runs. Hepp
ner edged in two more runs to
make the final count nine and in
the meantime Condon continued
the marathon, finally chalking up
19 tallies.
Drake pitched good ball up to
the fifth when he became too tired
to continue. McCurdy went in for
one inning and was succeeded by
Ray Massey, who after a wild start
ites, or at least slowing them down.
Heppner is looking, forward to
Sunday's game when the local squad
will cross bats with Arlington.
They are promising the river boys
a gcod time out on the Rodeo field
and may decide to turn their eyes
on the upper rounds of the ladder
instead of looking downward. If
they win Sunday it will put the
boys in better fettle to tackle Fos-
succeeded in taming the Condon- sil there the following Sunday.

Thad Phipps and
the Garden Party
Thad Phipps' v.v!e finally got him
to Hie Ladies' Flower Club Lawn
Festival and Garden Party. "
At first Thad was mighty un
comfortable in his Sunday best,
making polite conversation with
the ladies, nibbling on watercress
sandwiches. Until Milly Harztell
comes up with a tray of ice-cold
beer in frosty glasses.
"I suppose," says Milly slyly,
"you'll think beer's a sissy drink."
"Sissy drink!" says Thad emphati
cally. "Just because it's mild and
moderate doesn't make it sissy!
Beer's a man's drink!"
And then Thad sees that half the
ladies there are sipping beer, aa
well as those who've chosen lemon
ade and cider, and he mutters: "I
reckon it's a ladies' drink, too."
From where I sit, more and more
people are realizing, like Thad, that
beer doesn't belong to any special
group or occasion it's a whole
some American beverage that be
longs wherever folks enjoy good
taste and moderation.
W. W. McDiiffee Was
Grant Co. Pioneer
Death came Thursday night, May
16, to William Wallace McDuffee,
73, near Dale where he had made
his home for several years. He was
the victim of an accident which
occurred Thursday afternoon while
enroute to a neighbor's place to do
some plowing. He was taking his
team to help with the work and
was riding one of the horses The
animal shied at an object and jump
ed, throwing the rider with con
siderable violence. Mr. McDuffee
struck the ground with his head,
causing injuries from which he
gaccumbed five hours later at St.
Anthony's hospital in Pendleton.
Services were held at 2 p. m.
Monday from tht Phelps Funeral
Home chapel, with Archdeacon Ne
ville Blunt officiating, and inter
ment was made in the Heppner Ma
sonic cemetery.
Mr. McDuffee was born March
27, 1873 at Prairie City and spent
practically his entire life in Grant
county. Interested in mining, he
had several claims in the Dale
area and was perhaps the best in

rain in that section. He was a bro
ther of George McDuffee, former
Morrow county sheriff and long
time resident of Heppner, who with
Mrs. McDuffee came from Port
land to attend the services.
Howard McDuffee, son of Mr.
and Mrs. George McDuffee, came

dleton, long-time friend of the
family.
