WILL OPEN SEASON
FORMER WILL PITCH THE FIRST
BALL AND LATTER WILL BE
ON RECEIVING END

''The battery for the first ball over
will be Joe Tallman In the box and
Leon Cohen in the cage" will be the
stentorian announcement just before
the opening game between Pendleton
and Baker next Tuesday afternoon.
These two diguataries have been Sc
lected by President H. w. Collins of
the local club officially and formally
TO inaugurate the baseball season.
The custom in most cities is to se-
iect the mayor to throw the first ball
at the plate but Mayor Matlock be-
cause Of his infirmities is not avail.
able. Mr. Tallman is president of the
Commercial association and in this
capacity has been largely instrument
tal in keeping Pendleton in the league
and also in getting the stores to close
for the opening game. Mr.. Cohen Is
one of the livest wires in the city and
it was he who determined that King
Baseball should not die in Pendleton
even after the death knell had been
sounded and the dirge begun. There
fore, President Collins deems it fit
ting and proper that to them should
go the honor of ceremonially opening
the game.
Their selection has caused the two
gentlemen much mental perturbation.
Tallman is making hourly trips to the
park in an endeavor to establish the
exact locality of the plate and in the
evening he is practicing throwing at
his barn door. In his palmy days he
enjoyed some local distinction as
wrestler and a boxer but has never
made any pretenses at being
Christy Matthewson or Walter John
son. He has employed a corps of
,osteopaths to get his arm in condition
and but for the distance which separ-
ates them would secure the services
of Bonesetter Reese.
1t is Cohen, though. whose nerve is
mostly shaken. He is on the receiv-
ing end and. mindful of the fact that
his battery mate has only a general
idea of the place he will throw the
ball, he is wondering whether he can
protect himself with only a small nit.
A feather bed would suit him better
but a football suit and divers helmet
appeals to him most. Anyway he will
only have to stand for one of Tall

Montgomery, June 10-fSpecial1 The Montgomery batters took kindly to Johnson's curves in three innings and won the last game of the series with ease. The final score, Montgomery 7, Birmingham 8. Manager Gilks picke Lively for mound duty, but after the Barons found him for a run in each the second and third innings, Gilks called Jack from the box and called on Chuck Case to hold the Barons dur ing the rest of the game Chuck re- sponded to the s. o. S. call nobly, for only in one inning did they get a run off him. The fielding behind both the Montgomery and Birmingham pitchers was sensational. The one error charged to a Montgomery player allowed a run ner to advance. who afterwards scored, while the error charged to the Bir- mingham club let in one run, 1t made no material difference, as the following batter hit safe and would have scored the run that crossed on the error any way.
 Daly's catch of McBrides line drive, following Covington's three base hit was sensational, but not nearly so much so as his throw to the plate getting Gov ington by fully three yards Coving ton didn't even slide, as he saw that he was out. Johnson walked Daly in the seventh purposely, although by doing so he filled the bases. Snedecor didnt think much of what Johnson thought of his ability to hit boiled out a single that really won the game for Montgomery.
