outdoor sport TO while away the long
summer afternoons. All thought of

the intention of the Pillow City base
ball fans to improve their athletic
park and make II one of the best
baseball fields in the vicinity. After
that is done all Moline will have to
do will be to finance a club.
DEFER TILL FALL.
The intention OF those who we're
interested in the six-club project is
10 let matters rest until next fall,
then dip their oar into the turbulent
baseball waters and frame up an or
ganization which will be in readi-
ness to play ball during the 1913 sea-

The eight cities TO be selected for
membership are TO be chosen from
the cities in this immediate portion
OF the western hemisphere, with the
object in view of making the mileage
as little as possible.

Local fans must content them
selves with amateur ball for the sum-
mer, unless something breaks loose
from other quarters and be ready TO
boost for the new league when steps
toward its organization are taken in
the fall.

A HANDICAP IN GOLF.

An unusual handicap was played
on one Of the local links recently, the
proponent of the same winning hands
down. One of the rules Of golf is
that one must not talk to a player
when he is about to make a drive,
nor must others discuss any subject
in his hearing. 1t might take his
mind off the game for just An in
slant and that might be fatal.
In Kansas City lives a crack but ex-
tremely nervous golf enthusiast. He
had been In the habit Of beating a
fat and phlegmatic friend until the
latter tired of It.
"I'll tell you what I'll do" the
friend said not long ago. II will
play you eighteen holes II you will
give me a handicap"
Done" said the nervous player
Name the handicap"
Three times during the game, and
not more than three am to be per-
mitted to stand behind you and say

and just stood behind him. Never
once during the game did the fat man

good alarm system and perhaps a
combination auto hose truck and
chemical engine with a couple of paid
men to operate the same? 1t is the
belief of the East Oregonian that such
Is the case and that if our city fathers
would get down to brass tacks they
able that an improved fire department
would result in such a lowering of
rates that the money saved the first
year would more than pay for the new
equipment and that the annual saw
ing in insurance premiums would
more than offset the expense OF oper-
ating such a department.
Pendleton pays fearful toll each
year in the form OF insurance prem
iums. The charge does not fall on a
few people but upon everybody The
owner of building does not pay his
insurance. He charges 1t to his tom
ant in the form of rent. The merchant
does not pay his insurance. His GUS
toners do. If our insurance rates are
too high every man. woman and child
in Pendleton suffers thereby.

gate and see IL n better fire depart
