AUTOMATIC BASE
BALL POPULAR
IN PENDLETON
INDOOR GAME FURNISHES PLEN.
TY OF SPORT FOR THE
PANS.

Automatic baseball has hit Pendle
ton Il has also made a hit Under
the critical eye OF Gunner Peterson
the slugging third sacker Of the PEN
dleton pennant winners, the indoor
game which Is the rage in the larger
cities. was opened Saturday night in
the building just south Of the Golden
Rule Store on Main street. And ever
since the opening the whang Of hick-
org on horsehide has been a rapidly
repeating sound in that part Of the
city.
The fans. who during the spring
and summer can be heard most vo-
ciferously at Roundup Park, are the
chief patrons OF The automatic game.
Pairing off or choosing up. they grao
the bats and swing for singles, dou-
bles. triples and homers and. in con
sequence. many Of them are wearing
biisters on their hands today
The game Is the product Of some
ingenious fan. Within a netted en1
closure the batter takes his stand and
balls are propelled az the plate by an
automatic pitcher controlled by a
man behind the batter.
Each batter is fed nine strikes. Just
behind the automatic twirler Is
large canvas marked off into zones
and labeled two base" three base"
and home run" The points OF the
game are therefore determined by the
place the batted ball strikes. II IL
strikes the floor first in fair territory
II counts as a single. II II strikes the
CO Hing or sides or IL the batter fails
to connect with the sphere, that
frame Is scored I blank.
The floor is inclined so that the
balls return to the automatic pitcher
and thus there IS an endless succession
oc strikes. And the beauty OF 1t lies
in the fact that the pitchers arm
doesn't give out and neither does II
shoot over battling curves.
Two boxes are 1 STALLED in the local
ball room so that two batters can
work at the same time.

GRIFFITHS BEATS CROS.
East Side Ghetto Champ Gets Severe Beating From Akron Boy.

New York, Aug 20-Leach Cross waited a good many years to show us that he could take a thorough beat ing but the dentist was certainly on parade last night at Ebbets field. Johnny Griffiths gave the dentist the drubbing of his life for ten rounds. Leach was never in the running. For the entire route he was forced to jabs and jolts.
 Once Leach went to the floor in a
 crumpled heap. It happened in the fifth round. Perhaps it was Leach S old sly dog tricks, for after taking a generous count, the while appearing woozy, he got up and let fly a ter rife right hand swing that would i have taken Griffith's head off had not his army of seconds warned him that Leach was stalling
 In no round did Leach prevail. About the only damage that he in flicted was to chop Johnny under the chin when the latter's tongue was
 rowing about on the outside of his mouth. Griffith's tongue bled good deal during the late rounds, but he
 was never in danger. He was Cross
 master every step of the way.
 Leach seldom has been shown up
 as the Ohio boy did it last night. Griffiths played to Cross head entire
 ly. Leach simply could not land a glove on the fast stranger for Grif- fths never gave him the opportun- i ity. He always had a glove thudding against the dentists jaw. Cross fought as desperately as he ever did. He complained bitterly of Griffith s
 work to the referee in the seventh,
 but the crowd set up SUI cha line of jeers that Leach went back to fight ing.

Question of Army Costs.

A former secretary of war made the statement a few days ago that the tiny American army has for many years cost over half as much as Ger many has spent on her mighty and highly disciplined horde.
 This i3 something that has grown up with the assent of politicians of all parties, and which all parties should unite to end. There is an urgent call for. a. higher degree of military preparedness.
