eENEFIT GAME WITH BOOSTERS
AND PULLMAN POSTPONED
FOR ONE WEEK.
%; Preachers, 10.


That is the way the score stood
Yesterday afternoon when the whale
homes" and "Jawbones" concluded the
baseball farce comedy at the city
park.
The preachers, who had walkover
when they met the doctors several
weeks ago, yesterday met their Water
loo when they played team made up
of Walla Walla pedagogues. The
game was attended by fair sized
crowd which was not lacking in en-
thusiasm. The preachers were urged
to win by the church choirs and the
members of the different churches,
while every schoolboy in the city was
there with a yell for the teachers.
For six innings the game was a
close one The score was tied at the
close of the sixth and it looked as
though it would end with the figures
standing that way on the board, but
Rev. Morton Gregory, who was doing
the twirling for the "Jawbones," lost
his arm and he was replaced with Da-
vid Graham The latter held his OPP
ponents well in check for a time but
then he gave in and the men. who
WELD the stick in the public schools
took a brace and runs came fast and
furious until they had such a lead that
the men of the cloth could not catch
them. About 500 was realized from
the game, which will be donated to the
Y. M. c. A. fund.
Blair and Whitman.
The fast team that represents the
Blair Business college of Spokane ar
rived in Walla Walla last night and
this afternoon is trying conclusions
with the Missionaries on the Whitman
College ball grounds. These teams are
about evenly matched and a good con-
test is expected.
Play Boosters Tomorrow.
The Blair team will remain in Wal
la Walla until Wednesday night. To-
morrow afternoon they will play
ball grounds. The game will be called
at g.: 80 and the contest promises to be
% 1aI OFF,
The Boosters are now playing good fast
ball and should be in shape to hand
hits and runs in the game. Blair is one
of the best teams in Spokane and Is
players who understand how to put up
the national game.
Benefit Game Postponed.
Owing to the inability of the Pull
man ball team to reach Walla Walla
the benefit game that was to have
been played Thursday afternoon with
the Boosters has been postponed until
May II, when the State college team
will be in Walla Walla. All tickets pur-
chased for the benefit game will be
honored at the contest on the 18th.
Pullman starts tomorrow for tour of
the Pacific Northwest and will return
home via Walla Walla The game
here on May II will undoubtedly prove
the best that has been played for some
time. Pullman so far has lost but |
three games. Two of these were with |
the Spokane league team.
Whitman and U. of w.
Friday and Saturday the University |
of Washington will be here for games
with Whitman college. Whitman is |
figuring on the inter- collegiate cham
this year, and is certainly go
ing to make a strong bid for first place.
The remainder of her collegiate ,
games will be played on her own
grounds, with everything in her favor.
The University of Washington is
said to have strong team this year, !
but the Whitman boys claim that they |
are going to "do things" to the players
from the Sound They are still ranking
over the defeat they received from the |
U. of w. team last year, and now that
they have a good team Of their own
they are planning to have revenge. The |
baseball team is bound to keep up to
the high standard set by the FOOTBALL,
debating and track teams of the col |
lege this year, and will make every eff |
fort to win.
