ATHENA DROPS GAME TO HER
MISTON IN 10-3 SCORE.
R. 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.

UMATILLA TEAM WINS

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

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

reason given for the selection of Mr.
