Woodward Holds Athena Score less From Seventh On; Will Play at Echo Sunday. Shorty Matott’s boys ot Hermiston jumped into first place in the Uma tilla County Baseball League Sun day when they won over the Athena team, 10 to 3. Echo defeated the Mission Indians the same afternoon which now ties them with Athena for second place in the league, while Pendleton and the Indians hold the cellar position. Athena made a run in the first inning by connecting with a safe hit over second base with one man on base. Bob Woodward and Water man crossed the plate in the second inning scoring for Hermiston. These boys again scored in the third in ning, and another score by Lynch brought the score to 5-1 for Her miston. An error by Hermiston in the fifth netted Athena another run. A two-base hit by Kopacz scored R. Woodward in the sixth. In the seven th inning R. Woodward replaced Kopacz in the box and held Athena scoreless for the remainder of the session, except for a home run by Jenkins, which went over the west side dairy barn. The Hermiston boys tucked away the game making four more runs in the seventh. Waterman and Kopacz each con nected with three safe hits, and the Woodward brothers each received a hit. The next battle will be with Echo at Echo Sunday, May 20, and the following Sunday with the Mission Indians who will come to Hermiston. HUMOR, DRAMA AND MUSICAL NUMBERS MIX. A potpourri of entertainment is offered on the screen of the Oasis theatre Sunday and Monday in the film "Broadway Thru a Keyhole.” It is a story with humor, drama and a whole flock of unusually clever .nutricai numbers. Oue ot the featured of the latter is a night club scene In which Con stance Cummings leads the chorus in "When You Were a Girl on a Scooter and I Was a Boy on a Bike.” It is a tuneful number and the cho rines gyrate about on scooters and tricycles in presenting one of the most unusual acts of its kind ever put in pictures. Then there is crooning Russ Co lombo in the heavy heart interest role with Miss Cummings. Columbo flutters feminine patrons in his best manner. The story concerns a night club singer who owes her success to a handsome Broadway gangster. He is a square guy and she is grateful for his help. She even thinks she will marry him until he sends her to Florida to keep her safe from gang ster bullets. In Miami she meets the glamorous Mr. Columbo and Roccl, the young gangster, is out of luck from then on. When Columbo followed the girl back to New York Mr. Rocci’s first inclination is to fill him full of lead slugs, as he has numerous gang rivals. He decides Columbo is a pretty good sort, after all, and when the bride is kidnaped on her wedd ing day it is Roccl who turns hero and the Columbo-Cummings couple presumably live happily ever after. • = PUPILS WILL BE PRESENTED IN RECITAL MAY 19TH , he Hermiskun Heraln NUMBER ?

Hermiston Take* Girls’ Doubles ; More Interest Than Usual Shown by Schools. The Umatilla County Tennis Tour nament held in Hermiston. May 11 and 12, seemed to be attended with more real interest and enthusiasm than any previous tournaments. Schools taking part were Pendleton, Helix, Echo, Stanfield, Umatilla and Hermiston. Echo had the outstanding team in the tournament, and had no trou ble winning the cup for the third time, which gives them permanent possession of the cup. Eddie Liese- gang, member of the Echo team, performed in a manner that would do credit to a professional. Girls’ singles went to Umatilla In one of the best matches of the tour nament. The contest was between Minnie Harvey of Umatilla, and Mary Lassen of Pendleton. Both girls did fine work, but Miss Lassen was forced to quit before the end of the third set because of exhaus tion. Miss Harvey was in the lead at the time, and was awarded the match. Hermiston took the honors in girls’ doubles, with Julia Colpitts and Maxine Paul on the court. This was a hard fought match. Mildred Conlon and Ruth Thompson of Uma tilla, took the first set, but lost in the second and third sets. On the whole the tournament was very much of a success. It warrants greater attention from the high schools of the county. Members of the Hermiston team were as follows: Boys' singles. Ken neth Knerr; Girls’ singles, Mildred Phelps; Boys' doubles. Dale Wells and Clyde MeDaris; Girls’ doubles, Julia Colpitts and Maxine Paul; Mixed doubles, Kenneth Knerr and Mildred Phelps. An attempt will be made to nego tiate a new rule before next year's tournament which will not permit one player to make more than one entry. In this way one good player In a school cannot win the tourna ment for the team of which he is a member. Club Back* Lonergan. Geo Stangler of Pendleton, mem ber of the Lonergan for Governor club, was in town today and states that they are elated over the en dorsement of their candidate by the Oregon Voter, recognized as strict ly unbiased and non-partisan. The reason given for the selection of Mr. Lonergan as the republican candi date for governor is that he is best equipped by character, experience tnd ability for the position. :♦♦♦♦♦♦........ ♦ ALONG THE CONCRETE ♦ ♦ • 449949****9*9**9 We fully expected to see turtle soup listed on our menu Monday as the little brown member of the tur tle family at the drug store ducked his head and drowned himself.
