Hood River Defeats Belmont.

The ball game Sunday between the
Hood River and Belmont mines resulted
in victory for the dude fans. The
game was fiercely contested from start
to finish, and considering the poor con-
dition of the grounds, it was a good ex-
hibition Of ball. The Hood River team
has several snappy players, but the
boys are still weak on team work.
Tompkins and Strong put up an excel
lent battery, Strong showing himself to
be clever man in the box. Blowers
held down the initial bag for the Hood
Rivers, with Dukes doing duty at
second, and Morse on guard for third,
Frohn starred for the Farmers, and did
the twirling for his team like man
with salary. The feature of the game
was Olinger's catch Of line drive "a

500 in attendance. Richardson and
lsenberg were umpires.
