II DIAMOND DUST u

Revenge, revenge, how sweet, how
sweet" chortles the vindictive Et-
chandy.
Augustus atoned for his errors
Tuesday by several sensational bits
of fielding yesterday.
It's dollars to doughnuts that La
Grande will overtake Boise yet in the
pennant race.
SO far, Jimmie's playing against
his former teammates has not caused
the fans to regret Barrett's action in
slipping him the blue ticket.
Robinson was suffering from a
game leg yesterday and Stanfield was
forced to do patchwork for him. "Ty
Cobb acquitted himself in fine
style.
Illness kept Luttrell, La Grande's
hard hitting third baseman out of
the game yesterday and Forbes took
his station. AS a utility man, Forbes
is real handy.
The new jumps certainly doesn't
take anything off the players. He
fined Stanfield FLYER and put him
out of the game for disputing a third
! strike decision.
Frink, the twirler with Athena last
year, who has been playing with Che
halls. in the Washington State league,
this season, is said to be slated for
the Vancouver Northwestern league
club.
"Silence is golden" sayeth the old
proverb. Umpire Golden believes in
living up to his name. His decisions
are scarcely audible hut he does pret-
ty good talking with his hands Some
fan is liable to be so rude as TO sing
out the refrain, ''Tell me with thine
eyes" some day.
Probably the longest fly that has
ever been poled out in Roundup Park
came off the bat of King yesterday.
1t scared over the centrfield about
fifty feet and should have been good
for homer but the La Grande coach
er slowed the runner up at third SO
that he was caught at the plate.
"Doggone 1t, whatchiknowbout-
that" quoth Sir Richard Maxemeyer
| T.,
booted the ball and let in a run. And
to emphasize his ireful words he
smote the ground hard with his
glove.
Augustus was the boy who pre-
vented Manager Barry from break
ing into the hit column yesterday
The Pippin leader was up to bat four
times Three times he essayed to
stick out a Texas Lacquer over short
and each attempt was frustrated by
Augie. The fourth time he put the
ball on the ground but the littl,
> shortstop scooped it up and threw
him out.
Manager Barry of the Pippins Il
said to be after Pitcher Starkell anC
Third Baseman Ed Ford, who hav'
been playing in the Washington Stat,
league. Starkell is a veteran in tn,
Northwest baseball circles, havini
I played on the Victoria. Tacoma ant
one time the Aberdeen club in tn
Northwestern league.
Robinson and Nadeau seem t
:, have traded batting eyes as we'll a
. . positions. When the latter held dow
the second bag he was the big stick
- er of the team but in the two game
this week in which he has played cen
, ter field he has only hit $50 and .00C
- :. respectively. Robinson, though al
! ! ways a peerless sacrificer, was nc
much for a big average until he NOV
ed in to second. This week he ha
batted 666 and $50 in the two game!
. King is a hard luck catcher. AS
. receiver he is hard to beat and h
has some arm, too, but something
generally bobble at the other enc
prevents him from breaking up
steal. Yesterday the assorted curve
of Maxemeyer gave him a workot
g proper. 1t was Come high. com
low, come fast, come slow. this wa
