COUNTY HIGH is SAVED.

The defeat of the bill TO abolish
the Wallowa County High school was
received with qualification by the
friends of the school, and in the years
TO come, when the school is fulfilling
its real mission as finishing school
in practical departments, every citi-
zen of the county will remember the
outcome of last weeks battle with
thankfulness.

on the table. it being impossible to
pass 1t as a general bill applying
m all the county high schools, of
he state, Turner Oliver, who mis-
represents this part of his district in
the senate, moved an amendment
making the bill apply to Wallowa
County ONLY. This was done after
consultation with Rusk, who had it
'f0odrced and who forced it thru
the house, and with the representa-

who were at Salem lobbying for

Much Inside Stuff in
Pitching and Stick Work

The fine poitns of baseball are not
confined to fielding by any means.
Pitching and batting present quite
as many niceties to those who would
be adopts, and, in fact, the game has
reached even a higher point Of scien-
tif1c development in these two depart
ments than in the other.
The days of straightforward delivery
Of the ball and of clean, full swinging
at 1t as it comes over the plate are
long since past, and now there is a
constant duel between batter and
pitcher.
The latter has a threefold task He
must know his pitcher. He must study
the situation on bases, the state Of the
score, the abilities Of the men on the
bases and the character and known
abilities Of the fielders against whose
defense 1t Is his business to make
successful attack. He must make up
his mind whether he shall attempt to
hit the ball out, whether he can do
more by a bunt, or whether, perhaps
having a wholesome respect for the
pitcher, he shall simply lift the ball
into the air and give a runner chance
to advance after the catch, with the
added possibility of getting on a base
himself, owing either to the accident
Of the ball falling into an uncovered
SPOI Or TO an error Dy an OuL0elOeT.
In the old days, every batter had Just
one object. That was to hit the ball
as hard and as far as possible. In
those days few pitchers could depend
on their curves. Control like that Of
Mathewson, who has performed the
amazing feat of pitching nineteen in
nings without giving a single base on
balls, would have been regarded as
miraculous.
So Dan Brouthers, Delehanty and the
great sluggers of those days, meeting
pitchers who had to rely on a fast
straight ball, pitched right over the
plate, because they gave so many bases
on balls, could swing viciously, and
possessing a keen eye, were able so to
time their swings that the tremendous
force Of the blow would send the ball
flying, time after time, far out Of the
range of the outfelders-

COBBINCREASES
HIS AVERAGE

With Joe Jackson Just Is points be-
hind, Tyrus Cobb is now travelling a
rather lively clip to hold the honrs as
premier batter of the majors. He has
an average of APO. while George Jack
son tops the National with 1863 aver
age.
Tyrus has been going at a very fast
clip during the past few days and has
greatly boosted his average, which for
time looked rather poor in COMPARE
son with what he had hit earlier in
the season. He has made 211 hits
and with rs games yet to play is con-
hdent he win pass the $50 mark. He
has also kept up his scoring record,
having tailed 12s runs in 124 games.
George Jackson, lately of Memphis.
tops Hans Wagner for the leadership
in the National, though to Wagner
goes the honor of being the league
leader, as his average of $50 has been
made in playing over 100 games, while
Jackson has played but in 33.
Here are the figures through the

ment to let a ball pass that is going
to curve or break away from the plate.
No pitcher, unless 1t be Mathewson,
can consistently pitch curves without
getting constantly into what is tech
nically known as q hole" That is,
he will frequently be in the position
Of having pitched three balls and only
one strike. In that case he dare not
pitch curve, for fear of sending the
batter to first on balls, and has to
deliver straight ball. Then the Jor-
dams and the Lumleys reap the re-
ward Of their good Judgment. and can
hit the ball as far as they like. Thus
most home runs are made.
The batter who is most valuable is
not the occasional maker of home runs,
however, but the timely. dependable,
Everyday hitter, who gets a single or
two In every game.
Wagner's Remarkable Batting.
Hans Wagner of Pittsburg. the
greatest betsman the game has ever
seen, is a player of another stamp, of
course. No one gives him orders as
he steps to the plate, and he uses his
own Judgment. He seems to know as
the ball leaves the pitchers hand just
what 1t is going to do, and his analysis
Of curve seems uncanny. He has no
weakness. but can hit any kind Of
ball to any part of the field.
Many a pitcher has purposely pitch
ed wide to Wagner in the effort to get
rid Of him by giving him a base on
balls, only to see those gorilla-like
arms stretch out a mighty bat and
score a hit on a ball so wide as to be
almost a wild pitch. He strikes out
once in a while but always when his
stroke is badly timed, to use a golfing
term, and never on a called strike.
Another type Of batter, different from
both of those Just described, is per-
fectly represented by Napoleon Lajoie
of the Cleveland American League
team. Certain balls are easy for him
to bat, and he sends the ball blowing
right through the third baseman. trav-
cling at such a pace that no fielder can
stop IT. The timing of his drive at the
ball is perfect, and he is a singularly
hard man to pitch to on account of
his ability to kill almost any of tht
regular curves.
Like Wagner it is almost impossible
to induce Lajoie to accept a base on
balls when he wants to hit the ball,
and he is probably the most dangerous
batter in the American League. al
though Cobb of Detroit who combines
Wagner's amazing ability to hit any
kind of a ball with Kesler's wizard
like selection of untenanted places in
the field, has for two years led the
American League in batting.
