BRYAN A bigger MAN
THAN EVER, HE SAYS
HATTIEseuRG MINISTER TELLS
OF SWAY NEBRAsKAN STILL
HOLDS ON PoPULAcE.

The Rev. E. d. Solomon, pastor of
the Main Street Baptist Church, who
has just returned from his annual va
cation, the greater part of which was
spent in attending the big Bible Con
ference which has Just closed in Win.
cna Lake, Ind, today told of the pow
er and eloquence of William Jennings
Bryan, as shown at the conference.
"That Bryan is weakening in his
hold on the people; that he no longer
can sway the crowds; that the faith
of the people in him is being shatter'
ed; that he is not the man he was
ten years ago, is all foolishness," Mr.
Solomon said.
"At the conference, there were hun
dreds of men from every part of the
civilized world. The brainiest men in
America were represented there
Whenever Mr.. Bryan had anything to
say, every ear was primed to hear it.
They drunk in his words and his
thoughts the same as they did during
the days when he was touring the
country in behalf of his candidacy
for the Presidency.
Thousands of persons stood and sat
in the natural ampitheatre on Sunday
to listen to the talk of the former Sec
retary of State on War He had that
crowd with him, and it was a repre-
sentative crowd-not a Bryan or an
anttBryan gathering, but represent
tive American gathering
Mr.. Solomon told of a brief visit tC
Chicago and to st. Louis. "The at
tack on the South, being made be
cause of the violence of the Georgi;
mob which lynched Leo Frank" h,
said, continues. Go into any hote
lobby, or barber shop, or cafe, an
1t will be but minute or two whe
some one begins slurring the Soutl
land.
"All Dixie is being pictured as
|. law-defying and semi-civilized cor
munity.
4 "The newspapers of Chicago and
!. Louis are particularly bitter in the
ldenunciation of the South"

What PendIetOn Maid

Who is the Pendleton maid send
ing four-leaf clovers to Portland ball
players to further their fortunes? We
recommend that she keep them at
home. The Portland Journal of yes
terday remarked as follows:
Again we have with us the four
leaf clover maid of Pendleton. state
of Oregon. and she threatens to send
some more Of the grass to Portland
semi-pro baseball players. 1t will be
remembered that she sent one of the
good luck variety to Al Lodeu, and
Aloysius Immediately got a job with
the Seattle Giants The following
sweetscented epistle arrived in the
mail yesterday from Pendleton and
exhibits a mild crouch, if feminity
can be said to have such a state Of
temperament.
You did make fun of my clover
in your old paper and see what it did
for Lodell. Thank you very much
for your kindness in handing the clo-
Yer to Lodell. l may ask YOU to do
the same again soon to another OF
my baseball friends who know me
not by name. This clover business is
silly, l know, but l care not so long
as you do not find out who it is that
sends them"
Wherefore, we wonder if she mailed

PILOT ROCK PEBBLES
FURTHER CHIRCH HOLD
ON THE BIN. PENNANT

The Pilot Rock Pebbles lost all
chances of losing the Blue Mountain
1 pennant and the Pendleton Bucks lost
all chances of winnig it when the
! former took an easy lS to 0 victory
over the latter at Roundup Park
Had the Pebbles lost the remainder
of the games including yesterday S
and had the Bucks Won all, the two
teams would have been tied for the
top of the ladder.
The game yesterday was all Pilot
Rock from beginning to end At no
time did the local boys have chance
to down the champions and there is
not much wonder at that either, con-
sidering the lineup, Varian was out
Of the game on account of illness,
Nelson and Collins were lured out of
town by picnic prospects, Siebert and
Gordon were not in the city and Webb
failed to show up. This left only
eight men in Pendleton uniforms and
an S. O. 5. call was flashed to the
grandstand. Fred McMonies respond
ed, civilian clothes and all, and held
down the left garden.
The Pebbles were out to fatten up
their already portly batting averages
and they found rich food in McGar-
rlgle's slants. Lest, however, anyone
should think the fault lay entirely
with the Pendleton pitching, let it be
said that a half dozen or more of
those is hits marked down should
never have been hits and would not
have been had the regular Buck line
up been in the field. There were err
rors of Ommission, errors of commits
son and errors of judgment, but the
scorers were lenient at the expense of
McGarrigle.
Merwyn Gilbert leading hitter of
the league, batted a thousand for the
day, polling out single, and a double
in two times up. He was really up
five times but once he waited for four
wide ones and twice a curve broke into
his Stats. Pitcher Darling added a
homer double and a single to his
string of hits, Pickett got a triple and
two singles, Royer drove out a couple
Of three-sackers, Clock licked out
three singles and Smith and Hayes
fattened their percentage during the
game. 1t is needless to chronicle all
of the plays leading up to the score
getting.
Pendleton drew a straight row of
blanks. Once or twice an opportun-
ity to score was offered but Darling's
benders or poor base running made
