UNION GETS TWO
MORE SCALPS, NIT
ENTERPRISE HUMBLES LEAD
ERS OF LEAGUE TWICE IN
ONE AFTERNOON.

Well, well, well! Two games in
one afternoon from the strong Union
team, leaders of the Eastern Ore
gon league. Maybe those Enterprise
boys can't play ball some? We guess
YES.
And they were decisive victories.
Nothing uncertain about those scores,
8 to l and 7 to 3. And the playing
was in proportion to the tallies, or
little more so, for if anything luck
broke Unions way. Enterprise won
cleanly as well as decisively, out
batting, outfielding and out-pitch-
ing their opponents.
Never for a moment was the first
game in doubt. Bilyeu held the
Union sluggers in the hollow Of his
hand, and he pitched a mastery
game from every angle. He had per-
feet control, allowed but three miser-
| ly hits. struck out five and out
guessed the batters in a way that
made them laugh at their own eff
forts. He eased up after the sixth
inning, with the game safe, but still
the Union batters could not solve
his delivery. Only 80 batters, three
more than the least possible number,
faced him in the game.
/ pf thn nina innin
it was one, two, three out for Union.
Not a man reached first until the
fourth when G. Clark smashed hit
to left and reached second on saw
ages poor throw, the only error made
by Enterprise in the game. Clark
died on second, for Billy Bauer made
fine catch of Skiff's high fly. In
the next inning with two down, Da-
Wis made a hit and scored on No
dimes two Dagger. That was the
end of the scoring or even seeing
first base for Union, brilliant field
ing by Pace, Hug, French, r. Pid-
cock and Savage aiding Bilyeu's
grand pitching until the end.
All of Enterprises runs were made
in one inning also, but they threat
ened in almost every time at bat,
good fielding and hard luck alone
holding them down. Hug reached
first on a hit the first time up but
was left. R. Pidcock knocked a
daisy cutter in the third but sue
ceeding batsmen failed to advance
him. In the fifth Conaway and Sav
age made base-hits in succession, bu'
the former was forced off second

WEDDING BELLS.
Hanson-Bowlby.

On Swamp Creek, at the home of
the brides parents Mr.. and Mrs. f.
r. Bowlby, May 26, 1909, at High
noon.' in the presence of relatives
only (Relatives from distance were
Mrs. Bowlby's parents from the CEN
tral part of Missouri, Mr.. and Mrs. j..
IL. QUINN Mary c. Bowlby and James
w. Hanson were united In the holy
bonds of matrlmony, Rev. w. p.
Samms officiating.
The bride was creature of loveli-
ness in her dress of silk and lace.
Her cheerful disposition has endeared
her to the hearts of many. The
groom we'll known and prosperous
farmer and stoekgrower may justly
be envied by his less fortunate bach
elor friends.
The dinner in every sense "Wed.
ding dinner" was served from family
heirlooms of silver and china. If
the delicately cooked food is sam
pie of what the bride can do, the

will be phrase of the past.
May health, wealth and happiness
be theirs is the wish of their many
friends.

ENTERPRISE WINS
SECOND GAME TOO
LOCAL sLuooERs COP ANOTHER
AND KEEP THEIR HAIR ON
STRAIGHT.

The second game was limited to
seven innings by agreement. Cline.
in the box for Union, escaped lucki-
ly, and was hit harder than the score
shows but was saved by brilliant
support by his infield Conaway's
delivery was deceptive and in bat one
inning did Union get any hits. There
were many errors made nearly all
excusable as cold, cutting wind
blew n gale across the gro inds and
part of the time a drizzlmg iein fell.
Bilyeu started the fireworks In the
second with a home run hit over
right field fence. thereby earning
a gold ring offered by Jackson a.
Weaver for the first hit over that
fence. w. Pidcock and Savage also
made runs in that inning on a COM
binatlon of hits and errors. Another

Pidcock scored In the fourth on his

two more to Enterprises credit I'm

virtue of B. Clark's wild throw and
Savage by his own hit. both coming
home on Hugs long two-baggel.
Union tailed thrice in the folrth

PETITION TO GOVERNOR

Rutland, June Gov. G. II. Prou-
ty is soon to be petitioned for the par
don of the Rev. Thomas Crociata, the
former pastor of tire Italian parish
here. who Is now serving sentence
of from three to FIVE months in the
House of Correction on the charge of
assault in connection WITH the murder
on July 22, last, of Accarito Sanford,

20 Gioia are serving terms of life i'm

John d. Spellman, counsel for the
priest, who has received petitions
from New York and Brooklyn, signed
by men in all walks of life including
clergy, and also letters from Italy ask
ing for the pardon, will endeayor to

ally, remaining there permanently. The
priest has been in prison since last

The Sntoro murder was a most
startling one. He was led to a dark
spot, mile north of the city. by Anna
Black, aged II, (since set free be-
cause of a weak mind, and male
companion and was set upon by Gioia,
rurciana and Gaspar Crociata, who
were in hiding. The men only intend
ed to chastise him for attentions to
Anna Black but he put up such Wig
orous fight that tney killed him, ac-
cording to evidence.
Crociata was indicted two months
after the murder as an accessory after
the fact, on the ground that he knew
lof the murder and failed to disclose
what he knew, but the charge was af-
forwards changed to assault.

cRoss-couNTRY AUTO RACE
Five Cars Start in Long Run to
Seattle.

New York, June 2--Attended by a
squad of bicycle policemen and a
score or more of automobiles, five
motor cars started from the City Hall
yesterday afternoon in an endurance
run to st. Louis and race from that
city to Seattle for the M. Robert Gug-
genheim Trophy and cash prizes.
Mayor Mcclellan gave the signal to
start by firing a gold-mounted revolv-
er precisely at tne moment President
Taft pressed a button in Washington
officially opening the Seattle Alaska
Yukon Exposition in Seattle.
M. Robert Guggenheim, donor of the
$4,000 trophy for which the cars are
competing, will give $4,000 in cash
prizes. The contest has met with bit
ter opposition from the Manufacture
ers' Contest Association, and Mr. Gug-
genheim feels that he mas gained a
great victory in getting five cars to
start in the face of such powerful an
tagonism. The Manufacturers Con
test Association opposed the contest
on the ground that it would in reality
be race and that the speed laws of
the various States through which the
cars will pass will be violated 1t was
also maintained that the contest
would not be a true test of the cars,
but would be purely a test of the en-
durance of drivers.

Because Of Too Much Rain Eight Ago Kicked Just Strenuous
FEAR DOUBLE DROWNING
Two Winooski Men Fall to Return
From Fishing Trip

Burlington, June 2.-Search is still
being made for tae bodies of Edward
Potvin and Frank Savior, both of Wi
nooski who are supposed to have been
drowned in the Winooski river last
Saturday night.
Potvin went to the home of Savior
about eight O'Clock Saturday evening
and asked him to go fishing. Savior
at first refused but upon Potvin's urg-
ing, finally consented They stayed
around the village until about eleven
o'clock when they left on the trip.
This was the last seen of them. They
both stated that they would return
early Sunday morning. No alarm for
them was felt until late in the fore
noon, when George Bique, a brother
in-law of Potvin started out on a
search.
Near Ethan Allen park, on the shore
of the river, Bique found the boat up
turned and evidently washed ashore
by tne strong current which runs at
that, place. Further search revealed
the hats of both men several rods
apart on the same side of the river.
Bique returned to Winoosh with the
news and securing additional help,
went back to the search. DR.. r. A.
Burdick, accompanied by Selectman
A. NJ Hanseau went to the scene WITH
graphing irons. They found a bag
of tobacco washed ashore and with
the graphing irons pulled up some
of the fishing tackle. The tackle was
identified as belonging 70 the men be-
cause of an attached railroad spike
which they used to hold the line in
the boat A coat was also found on
the shore The river at the place Is
full OF stumps, etc, and 1t was impos-
sible to see into the water or to use
the irons with any results.
Both men are about 20 years of age
and have been lifelong residents of
WinoosH. Potvin is married and has
wife and two small children.
