A TWELVE INNING GAME.
Blackf00t Defeated In q Holly Contest
ed Game Last Sunday.

The Pocatello base ball team came up
last Sunday for the third game with the
Blackfoot nine, bringing with them
about o-hundred and fifty rooters and
the Eagles band. The day was the
warmest one of the season and the grand
stand was comfortably filled with people.
The game was not called until after the
W. o. W. Exercises were through with.
Every one expected to see the best
game of the season and most Blackfoot
people were confident the home team
would win and were reassured during
the first part of the game. Pocatello
went to the bat first and run in three
scores, but this did not discourage the
players or their admirers. Blackfoot
fulfilled the hopes of the rooters in this
inning by tieing the score.
In the second Pocatello sent one man
across the rubber and Blackfoot scored
four men. 1t looked like "easy money"
with lead of three scores, but both
teams settled down and Blackfoot got
but one score in the third inning and
we're shut out the next two. Pocatello
was shut out in the third and fourth and
run in two scores in the fifth. In the
sixth they piled up four more runs
which placed them one in the lead.
From then on it was "nip and tuck"
The crowd was in suspense and the
rooters took the side lines. 1t was a
hard fought battle taking twelve innings
to decide the winners. Neither team
distinguished itself with brilliant play
ing and both teams went completely to
pieces several times throughout the
game. The game was intensely interest
ing, however, but that does not excuse
either team for piling up such large
score. Blackfoot played in as bad form
as Pocatello; it seemed to be an off day
for both teams and it cannot be said that
the game was won on superior playing,
for it was not, If anything Blackfoot put
up the best exhibition.

GROUNDERs.
The home team goes to Idaho Falls
next Sunday for their second game with
that aggregation. Our boys won the
first game and feel that they have
mortgage on this. Idaho Falls don
want to loose any too many games to
Blackfoot so the local fans are quite ex-
pectant of seeing hot game. A special
train has been arranged for to leave here
Sunday at l o'clock p. m. and large
crowd will no doubt accompany the boys
and see them win from team that isac
cused of taking too many "High balls"
Blackfoot's $4,000 aggregation" is
lined up for business and has been prac-
ticing hard this week and our fans need
feel no fear Of attending the game for
they will come home with another scalp
SURE.
Two new teams have recently develop
ed into the eligible class for Blackfoot,
namely, Salt Lake, who defeated Poca
tello Monday by score of to on the
latters grounds, and St. Anthony, who
defeated Idaho Falls last Sunday by
score of to6.
A game will probably be arranged for
with Sugar City on the following Sun
day on the home grounds. Idaho. Fall
is expected down again on the second of
July and our boys will cross bats with
Pocatello on the anniversary of the Ma
tion's birth.
The Second team will play the Second
team of Pocatello on the home grounds
next Sunday. The teams are evenly
matched and good game is expected.
Ed Jones, who pitched part of the
game last Sunday has been engaged by
the management for this season.
Without delving in talky talk Black,
foot will probably win each Of the above
games.
