THREE MORE SUNDAYS
WILL SEE CLOSE FOR
1920 BASEBALL RACE
Helix and Milton -Freewater are
Likely Contenders for Hon
ors in Blue Mountain League
Ending July 4.
niue Mountain Standings.

Three more sundays Will see th'
end of the Blue Mountain league,
season of IL weeks, the first league
baseball In Umatilla county since be.
fore the war. Helix stands at the tor
of the heap with an unmlebished rec
ord of eight victories and no defeats
| while Milton Freewater, with but one
reverse. may still be said to be in the
running. The race appears to be mar
rowed down to these contestants
The little old pennant will be de-
clded in the next two Sundays. He
lix goes to Milton on Sunday 10 play
the runners-up in their first game of
the season. The following Sunday the
Twin City crew is due to play on the
Helix lot. These two clashes are ex-
pected to be heated arguments and to
determine which shall roost at the top
of the heap on the morning of July s..
Bucks Could Tie for Top.
Pendleton still stands a change To
pun out of third place and tie for the
top, as its next three games call fer
one Athena and two Pilot Rock con-
tests Both these teams stand lower
in the table than the Buckaroos and
a victory in all three contests would
give the local team a percentage of
.727. Helix could lose its three re-
naming games and still be tied with
the locals for the leadership of the
league.
The victory which Helix won over
Pendleton on Sunday at Helix is ad-
mitted by some of the Helix men as
decidedly of the fuzzy order. 1t is re-
ported that some of the players We're
willing for the game to be played over
but the directors and fans, at their
mass meeting, decreed against such a
course. Helix has been involved in
two contests thus far. although only
one the Pilot Rock game, was Off
eially protested. 1t is hardly probable,
according to word in Pendleton today,
that the local team will take their
protest TO the league officials.
The season thus far has produced
some good baseball and some of the
teams have made expenses and more.
Walla Walla. the largest town in the
circuit, has been the biggest disap-
pointment and neither financially nor
professionally has the team amounted
to n great deal. Athena has lost its
every game so far but is game to the
core and will finish out the season ir-
regardless of what happens.
Next sunday interest. of course. will
center about the Milton contest with
Helix. Pendleton is scheduled to en-
tertain the Athena nine at Roundup
park and Pilot Rock is due to journey
to Walla Walla. No word was receiv-
ed last Sunday as to the outcome of
the Walla Walla- Pilot Rock game
scheduled for the Rock.
May Play Off Contest.
If the action of directors of the
league is followed out. Pilot Rock
may be required to play it's postponed
game with Milton Freewater at Milton
before the pennant is awarded. The
two teams were due to play on May
30, but owing to the gas shortage and
other conditions at Pilot Rock the trip
was not made. Milton's chances for
the pennant might be affected by this
contest
