more Of a joke, Cross, undoubtedly
the widest pitcher that ever attempt
ed to wind up and untwist on the
center patch, was in the box for Baker
City. All the locals had to do
to win was to stand up and accept the
free transportation to first that Cross
seemed anxious to give. Manager
Lorimer, who had been forced to don
uniform, owing to the crippled con-
dition of his team, was given a walk
every time he came to bat and prac-
tically every other man on the team
would have been as lucky IL they had
not been so anxious to plant the
horsehide sphere far out in one of
the gardens or over the fence. The
result was that Cross famed six men
for the simple reason that in these
days bats are not more than four feet
long and players are not more than
seven feet high.
1t was a heartrending exhibition
from fielding standpoint also. Pop
up flies being dropped as thought they
were hot shot and slow grounders be-
ing allowed to wend their way unin-
terrupted to the outfield. The game
became so painful that the bleachers
and grandstand were practically de-
populated before the knell was sound
ed.
In justice to the players it must be
said that every man in a Pendleton
uniform was playing out of his posi-
ton. limerick had failed to report.
Van Houten had a game finger and
could not catch so was put on Sec
ond.
Conrad was in the same condition
so was put out in the left garden,
while T. Baker was behind the bat.
Taliafero played on first and if the
big pitcher ever saw that position be-
fore he did not act like it, while to
make the affair complete, NJ. Baker
and Dean changed places at third and
