Best of 1t.
In a game replete with hard MT
ting the Blues defeated the Columbia
Falls team on their home grounds
Sunday afternoon by a score OF IA
to T. After the first inning, the
Falls boys never had look in, and
the only interest attached to the
game was in watching the futile eff
forts of the Falls boys to connect
with the assortment of twisters
served out by Pratt. He struck out
IS of the home boys, and the hits
made off him were few and far be-
tween. The Blues did some terrific |
| batting, and sent Olson to the field IN
| the Sixth inning. UP to that time.
numerous two-baggers had been
made. while Pratt and Cowles both
drove out home runs. Three of the
runs made by the Columbia Falls
boys were made on errors by the
| Blues. who were unable for some
time to become used to the poor
grounds. and allowed hits to get
through which would have otherwise
heen outs if made on a good diamond.
The game started out like vic
tory for the home team they max
ing three runs in the first inning,
after banking the Blues and the
: crowd went. The runs were made
on errors and one hit, but the crowd
were sure they had the game won and
roasted the Blues to turn. Some OF

were quickly taken up, they began to
hedge. In the second, the tables
lWere turned, the Blues getting two

d this time the Kalispell boys had
e taken Olson's measure and went aft
II err him in terrific way, securing
Il three runs in the third four in the
fourth, and four in the fifth. The
home team being cOntented with two
S in the third with shutouts in the
r fourth and fifth. The two runs in
+ the third were due to a wild throw

% to catch man on second. Norris re

one more run was made off him. the
balance of the game, in the seventh
