P|PP|NS LOSE TO
BUCKS SATURDAY

The lucky seventh proved too much
for the Pippins Saturday. Four runs
were put over by the Bucks in that in
ming and the game saited down by the
score of 9 to 4. The batters on both
sides were meeting the ball and the
hit column loomed up. However, the
Bucks had a clear advantage in the
field Until the last of the seventh
the contest was good to watch.
With only one score against them,
the Pippins fell upon Berger hard in
the third and put three over. Pendle-
ton took one in the third and tied
things in the fourth and followed up
with one each in the fifth and sixth.
La Grande earned another in the
seventh and after that came the
bunch that salted down the game.
The feature of the game was the
hitting of Augustus. In four times at
bat he secured the same number OF
same ones, three of them being two
baggers.

BUCKS MAKE IT SEVEN
STRAIGHT FROM
TAILENDERS

Making it seven straight from the
.tailenders, the Buckarooes yesterday
ended the season in Pendleton by
taking a double header, the first COM
ing to them by 81 score and the
second BY a 6-S. To Mr. Fitchner,
the La Grande speed artist, Pendleton
owes the ease with which the two
were taken yesterday. He worked in
both games and his wildness was
something that isn't seen every day.
In the first game, nine inning af-
fair he issued ten passes and in the
second contest, which lasted only
five innings. his generous nature per-
united seven more to make gratis
trips to the first sack.
Osborne worked for the locals in
the first game and scored his third
win of the week Only in the second
when he permitted King to follow
Jamison's three sacker with a double
swat, did he give the luckless Pip
pins a chance to see the homeland
Fitchner was wild beyond all restraint
and the climax was reached in the
third when Pendleton secured foul
runs with the assistance of only one
hit
Along toward the last of the game
the Pippin twirler was getting bet
ter which fact moved King to keel
him in for the second contest HI
started off. however, as in the pre-
Vious game by walking the first maj
up and allowed a sacrifice and fou
consecutive hits, all of which spelled
four runs. In the second, Fitchner'
single and CARROTS error put tw'
men on for La Grande and KIM
drove both in by a ripping thre
sacker. Ford's single registered tn
manager and that was the end of tn
run getting for the visitors, Garret
tightening up thereafter and bein
aided by fast fielding.
In the fourth Fitchner duplicate,
his feat of the previous game by walk
ing in a run and allowing another b
his own error.

but | reverence her as the redeemine
glory of humanity, the sanctuary of all
virtues, the pledge of all perfect quail.
ties of heart and head. 1t Is not just
nor right to lay the sins of men at the
feet of women. 1t Is because women
are so much better than men that
their faults are considered greater. A
mans desire is the foundation of his
love, but a woman's desire is born OF
her love. The one thing In this world
that is constant, the one peak thai
rises above all clouds the one win
dow in which the light forever burns
the one star that darkness cannot
quench is woman's love. 1t rises to
the greatest heights, 1t sinks to the
lowest depths. 1t forgives the most
cruel injuries. 1t Is perennial OF life
and grows in every climate. Neither
GOODNESS nor neglect harshness mol
cruelty can extinguish it. A woman's
love is the perfume of the heart. This
is the real love that subdues the
earth; the love that has wrought al
miracles of art; that gives us music
all the way from the cradle song to
the grand closing symphony that
bears the soul away on wings of fire
A love that is greater than power
sweeter than life and stronger thar
