NoTtu idkILna anu EllenSDurg mgn
school students and their numerous
friends. 1t was the occasion Of contest
between the ball teams of the respective
schools, and was of such a pleasant ma
ture that many more such events is
looked forward to with happy anticipa-
tions Though the ball game was the
primary feature of the day, it was not all
that went to make the visitors and their
friends down here enjoy the event, for
the sociable features arranged to enter
tain added considerable pleasure and
made the day one long to be remem-
bered.
The Ellensburg crowd came down, 100
strong, on a special train Saturday morn
ing to rejoin the 80 who had preceded
them the night before. They were met
at the train by the high school boys and
girls and were cared for during the day
in the most gracious style. The party
was chaperoned by Miss Lydia Charlton,
Miss Olga Davies, Miss Della Brown,
Miss Agnes Zimmerman and Miss Blake,
teachers OF the high school. Besides, the
graduating class and their friends came
down on Friday evening to attend the
performance given by the high school of
North Yakima at Larsons theatre.
This was the beginning of the exercises
that had been planned to come together
with such fruitious results. On Satur-
day forenoon the visitors were taken
about the city and shown its many adj
vantages over their own town, and in
the afternoon they went to the ball game
at the Catpitol grounds accompanied by
about 500 people from this city, who
thoroughly enjoyed the contest between
the two clubs. In the evening a dance
and reception were held in Switzers hall
especially for the entertainment of the
visitors, at which there was an unusual
ly large attendance. After an informal
reception dancing was INDUCED in till
midnight, when the special train was
ready to take the visitors home. They
were escorted to the train by large
crowd and bid adieu with invitations to
return again some time in the near fu-
ture.
THE BALL GAME.
The ball game was one of the most in
teresting held in this city for long time,
and resulted in score OF Is to IA in ia
vor of North Yakima, though the last
half of the ninth inning was not
played. The two teams were well
matched, errors and good plays being
about equally divided among them. Ev-
erything passed off without hitch, and
the best of friendly feeling existed on
both sides. The friends of each club
were generous enough to give and take
without either wishing for their oppon-
ents to be badly beaten. The weather
was fine, all that could be expected, and
the immense crowd was in excellent
good nature. Especially was this true of
the ladies who were out in numbers
equaling the men roofing for the boys
with marvellous enthusiasm. George
kohls was umpire and he made a good
one, for no kicks were registered against
any OF his decisions.
The game was called at 2 :15 p. m. with
the following lineup
Ellensburg-Herbert A. Painter, John
Satterwhite, Jr., James Michels, J. NJ.
Lewiscount, L. M. Weaver, V. V. Wea-
yer, r. A. Weaver, Otto Kuhl and Ches-
ter Shoudy.

Ellensburg went to the bat first and
scored one run. This filled them with
rising hope, but when the Yakimas
played out with nothing to their credit
and the visitors scored three the second
inning, thus making them four to moth
ing in the second, their enthusiasm
knew no bounds. But now it came
their turn to lose and for the next two
innings they made nothing but goose
eggs; and when the Yakimas scored
one and four in the third and fourth
innings, respectively, there was some
tall shouting and the spirits of the visi-
tors began to 60 down. In the fifth in
ming Ellensburg scored one run and
Yakima nothing, thus making a tie,
then it was when both sides became
anxious. But it took the sixth and
