PROBABLE LINEUP OF THE
PEHDLETOA TEAM GIVEN
BOYS ARE IN READINESS FOR
OPENING GAME OF THE
SEASON ON SUNDAY.

Here is the probable line-up Of the
Pendleton Bucks in the opening
game of the Blue Mountain league
Sunday as announced by Manager
Ballard today: Peterson behind the
bat, Webb or McGarrigle in the box.
Peters on the initial sack. Ralph
Knight at the keystone sack. siebert
on the hot corner, Gordon or Patton
In the short patch, and Varian, Par
lett and Ernest Knight in the out
gardens.
Just skimming an eye over the ar
ray, it looks pretty good and a little
observation at the park during prac-
tice time will confirm the opinion.
For instance there are Gunner Peter
son and Clarke Varian, two of the
leading hitters of the Western Tri-
state league last season and two OF
the men largely responsible for PEN
dleton's pennant Both have been
bona fide residents of Pendleton all
year and, not having caught on in
professional company and desiring to
Keep their hands in, they have con-
sented to play with the amateurs.
Peterson will work behind the bat
and at that position will be able to |
direct the infield work of the young 1
sters. In the, pitching department
there is nothing lacking. McGarrigle, /
who is truck-farming just outside the
city once upon a time was in profess
sional company and last season cap
tanned Pendletons Blue Mountain
team. He is a good infielder as we'll
as a twirler, Webb has been in the
city for a year. His spit balls not
long ago attracted the notice of Mr..
Comiskey Of Chicago ard won for
him short tenure with the White
Sox.
The infield might be mistaken for
the Pendleton high school track
team, or maybe the basketball team.
Peters, Siebert and Gordon belong to
both and Knight only a year or two
ago was one of the fastest sprinters
in the school They are all fast men
with ratl raj ability and pleny of
ginger.
The best sluggers on the team are
In the Outfield. Everybody knows
hereabouts what Varlan can do with
the willow and as for Parlett and
Knight they won the reputation OF
being two Of the most consistent
of the warcluhs in the Blue
Mountain league last season.
On the second string of players
here are any number of comers and.
'ltogether, Manager Ballard expects
o make the Pilot Rock machine
team along at stiff pace Sunday
o nose out a victory.

z LONDON. April s-Upon two
great battleflelds, 700 miles apart
the allied armies are cooperating in
a mighty attempt to crush Austria
and force Emperor Franz Josef to
sue for peace Official and unoffi-
clal dispatches indicate the allies are
slowly working toward success
Through the Carpathians the Rus
SLAMS are slowly but steadily adyanc-
ing into Hungary. Austro-German
forces, defending the approaches to
Hungary, are in retreat at nearly ev-
cry point. From Bucharest came re-
ports Of startling losses suffered by
the Teutonic allies. II was estimat-
ed more than 100000 Germans and
Austrians have been killed, wounded
or taken prisoners during the great
struggle of the mountains In the
west great battle is raging It's
principal object is also striking a
death blow at the dual monarchy.
Hurting themselves against the Ger
man lines in the region OF st. Mlhiel
the French are sacrificing blood and
men like water in repeated furious
assaults. So long as the attack con-
tinues Germany must keep every avail
able man in the west to hold her po-
sitions.
II was expected the kaiser would
order men withdrawn from the Ger
man line in France to be rushed tol
the east. There they would have
joined the Austrians in stemming the
tide sweeping through the Carpath-
ians The withdrawal of these forces
now is impossible owing to the French |
attack. Men and guns that might
have gone 10 aid the Austrians are
engaged in a deadly struggle in \
France. All reports indicate that
Hungary Is in state Of terror.
