LA GRANDE WINS SERIES.
SUNDAYS GAME LOST
BY DUCKAROOES

La Grande. Or, July 22.-La
Grande manipulated the bat again
yesterday with disastrous results to
Pendleton and the Pippins won the
series four out of six. Barry sent in
Remington, a new HEAVIER, but he had
so much smoke that control was un-
certain and he was dericked in the
first inning. Mountain assuming the
task. He was exceptionally success
full at the job and pitched elegant ball,
doping almost entirely his custom
airy wildness, and too, hit like Cobb.
Pendleton put three over in the first
on Robinson's two bagger and Lodell's
single followed in turn by four trans
portations and a wild pitch. Then
Mountain got the pitching job and
with good support went through to
the ninth without a run against him.
RAIDERS walk and Nadeau's single do
ing the business. Robinson Lodell
and Nadeau We're feature hitters for
Pendleton and nearly every Pippin
took a crack at the sphere.

ways dangerous O'Loughlin essayed
to pitch for Boise. but was pounded
to pieces and was hooked in the mid
die of the first Mays who succeed
ed him was hit hard in that same
inning but after that tightened up
and held the visitors runless until
the ninth. Sensational support often
saved Bridger Phenomenal spears
by Johnson and Martini robbed AL

would have been tied.

a couple of weeks after the wedding and
asked him how his bride was, He said,
oh, she's still trousseauing,' as the pro-
posal and the marriage were SO nearly
simultaneous that she had no time to at
tend to that very important item-her
treusseau."
However. they thought they were most
romantic. because they alluded to their
home as hovei, and he felt that he had
all the chivalry Of an impetuous young
Lochinvar and some of the fascination
Of the cave man.
II remember long time ago personal
experience with millionaire who had
made his fortune mining. He worded his
proposals always In the same manner:
When will Anita share ---s hut?'
HE wrote 1t in letters and sent 1t by
wire and for a long time he got no re-
sponse at all, though he probably won
dered why proposal that sounded so
romantic should be met with absolute
silence
"A millionaire's proposal should not be
taken too seriously; he should be given
plenty Of time to change his mind; It's
better that he should do 1t before than
after marriage?
While Mrs. Brooks young suitor aimed
to be romantic, Miss Mabel Hill, artist
and teacher decried the man who tries to
be chivalrous and only succeeds in being
ridiculous.
Certainly we don't expect man to go

down on one knee in offering his hand to
q woman, though that was the accepted
fashion years ago. Men who took this
humble position before the lady Of their
heart, were quite capable of being brutal
and cruel to her, after marriage, and
modern times. which have brought lit
tie less chivalry, have opened woman's
eyes to the hypocrisy which it so often
concealed" /"
Miss Eleanor Mullin, who is prac-
tical young business woman, says: "The
ideal proposal should combine sentiment
with sense OF practical responsibility.
II is no longer sufficient to say, oh,
come with me and be nay bride The
modern man must be able to add, can
support you.' Though. Of course, this
rather sordid element should be cioaked
in the proper words and limited at rather
than expressed
Most men dread proposing. because
they are afraid it makes them ridiculous.
One man OF my acquaintance is so NOR
bidly afraid Of ridicule that he says, The
only way can ever propose is to lock
myself in a vault, for should say so
many ridiculous things. that i won't want
anybody to hear me. ~
But how about the, best girl?, She
wouldn't be able to hear either Anyhow.
this man is still "a bachelor. Now il am
anxious to know what the men as well i
as the girls consider an ideal proposal Sof :
