PERN0LL MAKES GOOD
WITH PORTLAND
PLAYS Fast Ball and Wins His
First Game With the
Big League.

Hey. Rube -, "mama's little
boy" sweet sixteen, never been kissed
was the kind of stuff that was handed
up to "Jud" Pernoll Wednesday ON
the Portland diamond when he started
in to pitch his first game of profess
ional ball-the game in which he
struck out six men in the six innings
he pitched. But that didn't worry
'Jud" much, nor did it last very
long after he had struck out the first
man up-and them" Jud" .grinned, the
same old grin that is so familiar to
Grants Pass fans. The next man up
went down like the first and "Jud"
grinned again. They both tried all
kinds of ways to hit and then to bunt.
but "Jud" says There will be no
bunting" 80 the first innings rolled
around and nobody reached first.
The following is what the Portland
Journal has to say about Pernoll:
"Pernoll got on the good side of the
fans right away by striking out Mr..
Bernard and Mr.. Carlisle, two star
batters of the leagues leaders. IL you
please. After that he struck out an
other every now and then. pernoll's
bread winning arm is his left and his
jerky out and dIop looked 30 bad to
Bernard that he tried to bunt. Car
Isle tried to bunt too, and so did Dill
Ion, but none of them got to first.
"Wben the end of the inning rolled
around you ought to have seen the
grin on Manager MoCredie's face.
More innings rolled around.
When FIVE were gone the Angels were
still blanked and but three hits had
been made. In the sixth the youth let
down and the visitors hit him three
times, putting one man across the
plate. MoCredie was wise. He put
Peruoll out and let Hartman finish the
game. Six innings is plenty to start
young twirler ON and the kid was re-
tired with honor, not with disgrace.
"Pernoll was easily the feature Of
the game. Otherwise 1t was batting
match in which the locals came out of
the scramble on top"
In the six innings that Pernoll
pitched he struck out 9, walked 2. and
allowed 9 hits, three Of which were
made in the sixth.

ing for this year in Grants Pass of the
Irrigation Association. He also attend
ed the Hood River fairfield at the
same time as the irrigation convention,
and got pointers on how to make a
Rogue River fair as successful as was
that of Oregon's most famous apple
district.
1t is now certainty that the meet.
ing for this year at Grants Pass of the
Oregon Irrigation Association will have
on its program addresses by more men
who are experts of National standing
in all phases of irrigation science and
agriculture in semi-arid districts than
was ever before had at state irrigation
convention. There will be no orna.
mental oratory nor political boom boost.
ing at this convention, but each address
will be to the point on some topic that
will aid the farmers in conserving and
using the water supply at their com.
mand to give their lands the greatest
productiveness possible. And in the
presentation of facts pertaining to the
natural resources of Oregon and especi.
ally of Southern Oregon, the business
men, manufacturers, lumbermen and
miners will find many of the addresses
of the greatest value to them. There
will be on the program at the National
Irrigation Congress at Sacramento a
larger number of Government experts
from the reclamation, forest and geo
logical services as private individuals
OF high attainments in these branches
of public utilities and it is the purpose
of Mr.. Meserve to get as many as
possible of these men to take part in
the irrigation convention in Grants Pass

IRRIGATION CONGRESS
AT SACRAMENTO
Grants Pass Will Send Commit
tee to National Convention
to Secure Speakers.

The National Irrigation Congress will
be held at Sacramento the week pre-
ceeding the meeting in Grants Pass of
the Oregon Irrigation Association. Such
has come to be the general interest in
irrigation and in the conservation of
the water and timber supply that the
forthcoming irrigation congress at Sac
ramento is attracting attention from all
over the country and there will be
many present from as far off as New
England and the attendance promises
to be by far the largest ever had at a
National Irrigation Congress. The com
mite representing Sacramento expect
more than 5000 visitors in their city
at that time from outside of California.
Through the work of a strong com
mittee sent from Grants Pass and the
other towns of Rogue River Valley it
is expected to have at least 500 of those
attending the Sacramento irrigation
congress return to their eastern homes
by way of Oregon and attend the Ore
gon Irrigation Convention and take a
look at Rogue River Valley and other
sections of this state. To accomplish
this purpose Mr. Mesorye is enlisting
the cooperation of the Southern Pacific
officials and of the business men of
Portland, and also Senators Fulton and
Bourne and Congressman Hawley and
Ellis. And he also has the assurance
from Secretary Garfield and of Mr.
Newell, head of the United States
reclamation service and Mr.. Pinchot
head of the United States forest service
that they will aid in getting prominent
persons attending the Sacramento con
gress to attend the Grants Pass con
vention.

With the opening of she Mutual
