WAR DECLARED.
Between OConnor's Pets and the
Soldier Nine.

War to the death has been declared
between the Fruit Pickers and the
husky aggregation of ball tossers that
so ably represents Fort Walla Walia
and it is now practically settled that
the two teams are to come together In
a series of ten games at the Garden
City ball park.
1t is substantially reported that the
hackers. and admirers Of the respect
i've teams bumped into each other IN
a we'll known resort the other evening.
Before they could come to any under
standing regarding the merits Of the
two teams a bet Of $500 was posted
Under these circumstances 1t is alto
eether likely the coming series OF
games will be quite lively to say the
least. They will be for blood and the
spectators will stand a good chance OF
getting a good run for their money as
the teams when at themselves are very
evenly matched.
1t is probable that the games will be
played in the evening, in the ne1gh-
borhood of 615, so as to give the city
folks a chance to take in the series and
see the fun. The StateSman'S sporting
editor would recommend that the park
he we'll policed for at present the feel
ing running between a number of the
players on the respective teams Is
close to fever heat and at any time
the teams meet things are liable TO
happen. If Manager O'COnnor sur
wives the series he will certainly be
deserving of the best kind of a medal.

WERE BADLY DEFEATED SUNDAY
IN BALL GAME BY THE
LOCALS.
Eleven to Three the Final Score
Fruit Pickers Had the Game
Cinched From Start.

A big crowd was out to see the Fruit
Pickers put it all over the Moscow
ball tossers yesterday. There was
simply nothing to the game, the Fruit
Pickers having it well in hand at every
stage. The final score was II to in
favor of the nome players.
1t is doubtful if the Fruit Pickers
let themselves out very hard; it is sus
pected that they were saving them
selves for their go with the leaguers
from Spokane this afternoon. Parkes
did the twirling for the champions and
at no time was he in any trouble. His
team mates gave him splendid sup
port The visitors with the view or
helping things out tried two slab
artists, Longnackner and Brown, but
this did not avail them much. At the
bat the Moscowites were fooled at will
by Parkes and it was the eighth inning
before they were successful in getting
a man as far as the third sack. In the
last two innings they made feeble
rally with the stick, but their tail end
attempt to do something only netted
them three runs. With the exception
of the pitchers the names of the play
ers were the same as On Sunday.

NOTES OF THE GAME.

Moscow was very lucky to get away
with one game on their visit.
Body, the Moscowite catcher, made
an awful senseless kick in the second
inning. The fans saw that he was
roasted for it.
Taken as whole the MOscOwltes
are one of the best appearing ball
mines that have visited the city this
season. They have been doing we'll
this year and have a long record OF
wins. The teams they nave been up
against could not have been of the
Champions calibre. In their present
form the Champs would beat them
eight games out of ten.
Currigan is the best backstop that
has played in Walla Walla in some
decades He is always working.
Home Run McCool brought the
spectators to their feet with difficult
catch. Bobby" taken all around, is
improving very fast.
Manager OConnor now has the
grounds at the ball park in splendid
shape. They are so good that the
Ieaguers who play on them TINS al
ternoon should have no kick coming.
Thu attendance was one of the larS-
est of the season.
Knapp, who caught a couple of
games for Pendleton here. this season.
assayei to play the third sack for the
visitors. But he made very pau
bungle of it and retired in the third
inning. Knapp is a promising player
and he must nave had an off day.

The block system, which has become
So necessary on the great transconti

miles of road on the o. r. & N, and
work is to begin at once on the Blue
Mountain portion of this mileage.
For two days past a work train in
charge of Conductor Gentry and Engi-
neer Curtis has been employed in dis
tributing material for the block signal
system from La Grande to Cayuse a
distance of 60 miles. Work on this
portion of the system will begin right
away and the remainder of the 100
miles will be built between Portland
and Bonneville.
A contract is in force between a
company manufacturing these signals
and the Hartman lines by which 100
miles of signals will be built each
year until the entire system is cover
ed with it, wherever necessary. This
portion of the system has been selected
for the installment to be built for 1905,

the passing of a former train and when
a signal shows that a train has pass

block at the same time.
The signals will be placed two miles
apart On the mountain, with double
signals at all stations, thus protecting
trains in station yards as well as on
the main line.
All the eastern roads are equipped
with this system of signals, and it is
a great advance step for the o. r. &
NJ to adopt them. No other road in
the northwest uses the signals at this
time.
