score of ) to 4. with the home team
winning was the condensed story of
the best game of the season as played
at the athletic park Yesterday between
Lewiston and the University OF Wash
ington teams with less than $50 people
to witness the event. But what the
crowd lacked in numbers it made up in
enthusiasm and there was plenty OF
that with the score tied for five innings
and each one of them full of glittering
possibilities.
1t was game for the fans and the
rooters and those present can all be
classified under that head. 1t was full
OF snappy infield plays good out field
ing some of it phenomenal. and few
errors on either side. Hester played a
strong steady game being credited
with sixteen strike outs and twenty as
sists. Lewiston's batters We're there
with the willow but the fast fielding Of
the visitors kept down the score. But
five Of the home batters struck out
during the game and they generally
smashed the ball hard only to find the
visitors there and see the ball neatly
returned to cut off the run.
The run getting for Seattle began in
the second inning when Lesser sent a
corking hit down through the diamond
too hot for any one toe held and made
the ball. Seler struck out but Grim
stead hit a slow one to Wells which he
beat to first advancing Lesser. Rils-
bach hit a hot grounder which struck
the umpire and he went to first on the
blocked ball filling all the bases with
only one man out. Cole the next man
up got his base on balls and forced i'm
the first run made in the game scoring
Lesser. Brinker with the bases still full
came up with blood in his eye and rose
to the opportunity swatting a hot one
to center scoring both Grimstead and
Rilsbach. .Teats hit to right field but
the ball was fielded sharply and Cole
was caught at the plate. Brinker stole
third while Hoover walked but Speidel

ended with a score of three for the Wis

Seattle scored again in the fourth
inning when Cole hit a hard one to
third which Sprague threw wild.
Brinker made sacrifice which add

liner to Sprague who threw him out at
first. Hoover hit a grounder with
whiskers which never stopped short of
the left garden and was returned too
late to save the score made by Cole
A passed ball advanced Hoover to Sec
ond but. Speidel was again accommo-
dating enough to strike out and the
inning ended and the score stood to

they stopped short and while they were
always in the game they failed to add
to their score.
