BALL TEAM WAS
HANDED A LEMON
MANAGER DEAN TATOM
OBJECTS TO TREATMENT,
Games With Walla Walla on the
Fourth Were Played Before Small
Crowds-Three Victories Out Of
Five Games Played Fail to Conn.,
pcnsate for Lack of Financial Sup
port.

Though the Pendleton ball team
beat the Walla Walla players three
out OF five games in the recent series
the team did not fare so well finan-
cially and thereby hangs a tale that
proved a bitter one for Manager Dean
Tatom and others who are backing the
local team.
When the team changed its sched-
ule so as to play at Walla Walla the
Fourth it was confidently expected
that the team would make some
money by so doing. for Walla Walla-
PendletOn ball games are always good
crowd drawers in either city. But
the crowd that witnessed the game
at ,Walla Walla the Fourth numbered
but a couple OF hundred and about
the same number were out for sun
days game. As a result the team re-
ceived but a paltry $50 for its share
Of the receipts instead OF the antici-
pated amount
The reason for the teams bad luck
was because the games were pulled
off at the Whitman grounds in
stead Of at the Meador park or at the
race track grounds where the people
were gathered
Had the games been played at the
usual place the team would have been
given its share OF the receipts from
big crowd. But this would have re-
duced the amount for the Walla Wal
lans and with their usual big mitt"
tactics they transferred the games to
the Whitman grounds.
After the game Saturday George
O'COnnor. who had charge Of the af-
fair for Walla Walla. is said TO have
promised to sold the Sunday game at
Meador park, but the promise was not
kept. Consequently the team came
home with $50 and "bunkoed" feel
ings.
What makes the local managers
grief so keen Is the fact that he chang
ed the schedule to go to Walla Walla
In order 20 accomau. tie the Garden
City men. Had ;Se m gone to Ba-
ker as at first arr'r ;ed the team
would now be seyn" / hundred dollars
to the good, for bal u City had a cell
ebration too and Try handed out no
such packages as t!' one delivered to
Manager Tatom az \T1'la Walla.
The local team .l now about $500
In debt and three men. Dean Tatom,
manager, Charles Bond and r. w.
Henneman, have signed a note to Sc
cure the amount. In order to come
forth even they will have to realize
this amount from the series which is
to be played here commencing Thurs
day. Walla Walla will be here then
for a return series.

JOHNSON IN THE CABINET.
Bryan Said TO BE Considering His RI
val as Possibility.

Denver, July 7.-An interesting
echo from Lincoln has reached here
to the effect that Mr.. Bryan has re-
ceived favorably the suggestion that
the recent pronounced antagonlsm Of
the Bryan men to Governor johnson
Of Minnesota shall be offset by the
intimation that in the event OF Mr..
Bryan's election he will invite John
son 70 take a place in his cabinet.
One OF the many visitors to Mr..
Bryan who Is now here. has pointed
out to him that the marked antagon,
ism 70 johnson might ALLEVIATE the in
fluential Scandinavian element with
which the governor is identified by
birth and association.
Mr.. Bryan did not relish the idea
of playing politics." but at the same
time. II is said, he received the sug-
gestion with favor.

CHAMPION RIDER TO
MOUNT OLD CHEYENNE
Oldest and Wickedest Of Bucking
Bulls VIII BE Ridden by Clayton
Danks.

Danks.
Old Cheyenne. the widest and
woollest, brindliest and bulllest Of all
vicious steers, will be mounted at the
Manhattan worlds championship
| broncho busting which begins next
Saturday. says a special TO the Wyo-
ming Tribune from Denver That is
probably as far as the riding Of this
mean creature with four legs and a
pair OF rangy horns will go, but the
worlds present champion, Clayton
Danks, among others, will try TO ride
Old Cheyenne.
Old Cheyenne was raised in Wyo-
ming, nurtured out in the sunshine
OF summer and the sleet and snow
OF winter. afforded its resting place.
He is 3-year-old, and right at the
age where bulls are worst in nature
and the stoutest in muscle and heart.
He will be brought to Denver with
Old Steamboat, Red Devil and the
other outlaws, and will be kept in a
corrall built especially for his safe
keeping. This pen, real bull pen. is
built in one corner Of the Manhattan
Beach stadium, and is 10 feet high,
and large timbers four inches square
are riveted on telephone pole stubs
to make his staying sure.
This nasty natured bull. bears the
distinction Of being the only real
backing bull in the world. Cows and
ordinary bulls romp and kick up their
heels, but Old Cheyenne bucks just
like a bronc right from the plains.
only worse. He has never yet been
ridden and his horns measure eight
feet from tip to tip.
The promoters Of the Manhattan
Beach broncho tourney and the wilo
west show offer a prize Of $1,000 in
gold to any one that will ride Old
Cheyenne This bull, standing six
inches taller than the next tallest bull
ever raised in Wyoming, will be one
Of the features of the Manhattan
show, and promises to be well worth
seeing in itself
In addition TO the attempt to ride
the bucking bull, cowboys in chaps,
with huge six-shooters and outlaw
ponies, will hold up an old stage coach
that was used on the trails Of Colo
rado and other western states for a
dozen years.
The parade Saturday morning will
include the cowboys on some Of the
unbroken ponies and some of their
already tanned horses The real
buckers, $50 strong will not be used
in tie parade. because they would
endanger human lives by the score
were an effort made to ride them on
the main streets. The majority of
them have ever seen man a dozen
times. in their lives, and there's no
telling what would happen If one of
them was turned loose on Sixteenth
street with a cowboy on its back.
A band Of 25 pieces will lead the
parade and will furnish the music at
the Manhattan show, which will start
at 2:30 o'clock each afternoon of July
I, 3 and 6.

Of Strike and Tie-up is
Imminent in Pittsburg
Coal District
ARRANGE CONFERENCE

Pittsburg, July 27.-There is SER
ious danger of another strike and tie
up of the coal mines of the Pitts
burg district as there has been a most
serious disagreement, or rather, mis-
understanding as to the working Germs
for miners. President Feehan, of the
miners union, in the Pittsburg dis
tTictfi has asked for a meeting with
the mine owners scale committee 10
adjust matters, and he was today noti-
fed by Secretary J. M. T. Stonerod
of the mine owners committee that
they would meet with the miners this
week. 1t is claimed by the miners
that mbine owners are not keeping
their agreement and that a strike will
result unless matters are Temedied at
once. There is a congestion of coal
at the lake ports now, the coal hav-
ing been rushed there in a great hurry
so that the mine owners feel that il
trouble must come. now is as good
time as any.
Coal experts figure that the move
ment of coal to the lakes this season
will be rs per cent as great as last
year, which was the banner year in
history and the 75 per cent will be as
much coal as has been shipped in any
year outside 1907.
