MEASURES WHICH FELT
GOVERNORS AXE GO TO
JUDICIARY COMMITTEE

Selem, Ore.-Veto measures of the
governor, which gave the ak to about
so bills passed at the last session. will
go to the judiciary committee of the
senate to be sifted out beforethey
are taken up for final action.
A slight skirmish took place when
Senator Bean of Lane moved the ref
erence of the veto messages to COM
mittee. Joseph of Multnomah de-
clared that this is unprecedented. He
said that time is not so precious that
all the senators cannot afford to lis
ten to discussion on the floor on the
vetoed measures.
Thompson of Lake said that this
session may do many upnprecedent-
ed things" and he seconded Beans
motion.
Dimick of Clackamas and Miller OF
Linn. supported Joseph's views.
1--WE are not suffering for legisla-
tion. anyway" said Miller. "and we
can certainly take time to consider
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1913-01-15

these measures in order on t0e open
floor of the senate"
When the question went to vote, 16
senators, a bare majority, sent the
vetoed bills to committee. 1t was
explained that the committee will be
expected to separate the live" bills
from those that no longer possess vi
tality from lapse of time.
This is advanced as time-saving
measure, and it remains to be seen
whether time will be saved. The COM
mittee promises to report promptly
and if it does the vetoed bills will give
the senate something to do for the
rest of the week.

DOINGS IN THE INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE

Almeida played for the Royals yes
terday, and got in his usual two hits
and his pair Of runs.
Frank Mcrague injured his arm in
saving a youngster from falling out
of the bleachers Tuesday and had
the X-ray turned on yesterday. The
bone is fractured but not seriously.
Secretary Jerome Nusbaum, or the
Tigers, being a former newspaper
man, is an excellent press agent for
the Tigers when they go on the road.
Jerry knows all of the scribes around
the circuit, and they eat up every
thing he tells them about the Tigers.
Arthur Irwin was among the spec
tators at yesterdays game. The
Yank scout denied he was looking
for any particular star. Bob Higgins
has been doing such good work he
may be picked up, it is rumored.
Lee, as usual, kept his outfielders
busy. Thirteen flies were handled by
the Newark gardeners.

Bunny" Hearne. the Toronto
pitcher, who twirled for twenty in
nings at Jersey City without allow
ing a run, has been sold to the New
York Giants by the Toronto Club. He
will not report until the end of the
season. Pitcher Maurice Kent, over
whom the Pittsburgh and Toronto
clubs had squabble, is here with the
Maple Leafs.
II the Tigers maintain their twelve
and-one- half-game lead over Roeh-
ester the pennant will be off1cially
won, beyond a doubt, on September D..
The chances are that 1T will be
cinched before that, however.
1t would be no surprise IL Aitchison
does something sensational tomorrow
in his final exhibition at the local
park.
Kroy and Pick, the two new Maple
Leafs, are both left-handed batsmen.

HAVE MOST GAMES HOME

Joe Kelley still thinks his team has
chance for first division berth
as the Maple Leafs are scheduled to
play a majority of their remaining
games at home. The champions will
be on exhibition here today and to-
morrow for the last time. Kelley's
main plans, however, are for next
season. The Toronto Club has OBJ
tanned many players from the Boston
Nationals and the Americans this
season. Kelley stands in good with
the big league managers, but the
men they sent him this year came too
late to be of much service.
