Good Ball Throughout

lhe hrst extra inning game of the sea-
son was played yesterday afternoon
when the Lumbermen downed the Spo.
kane Indians in a fast session lasting
eleven cantos.
| Blexrnd, Spokane's new twirer, was
on the slab for the Indians and Iron.man
Brlnker for the Lumbermen, and the
way both pitchers sent the ball over the
| plate was caution. Brnker had the
best OF 1t however and finished stron ger
than his opponent, and seemed to be
getting better all the time, striking out
more men during the last part of the
game than during the forward end of it.
The game was most exciting one, too.
Tor the score was close all the way, with
Spokane in the lead until the last part of
the ninth, when it was tied. Spokane
made two runs in the fifth on Suess'
two Dagger over the fence, after Rowan
had hit safe and reached second OH Nc.
kuhes ont, Suess scoring on Swan's
long i1y to center which was dropped
by Campbell. White Campbell drop.
ped the bail, we must not be too harsh
ON Wee Willie for he has had hard luck
recently, severely njurlng his finger asst
week, and besides being hL with a
pitched ball on his throwing arm, and a
few minutes later by ball thrown by
Suess to Rowan to catch hlm off of first,
lie redeemed himself by making two
safe hits and by using fine headwork
When lie hit past first and when Dunn
picked the ball up he made bluff to 90
to second, drawing the throw, allowing
Hurley ts score from third and, by the
way, Manager Hurey was not slow in
running bases, either; he tore around
the sacks for two OF the four runs made
by us. Spokane made one in the sixth,
making total Of three which stood at
the end OF the game. Our runs came in
the fifth, eighth, ninth and eleventh,
one in each Of those innings. Hurley
scored IN the fifth and eighth, Malon in
the ninth and Campbell in the eleventh.
And it was Pinch Hitting Kid BroMn
who made the hit that scored the run
that tied the score in the ninth. And it
was Mr.. Nehrng, who made the hit,
line drive over second, that scored
Campbell with the w.nAng run in the
last half OF the eleventh, and after two
men were out. 1t is useless to try and
explain the game to absent fans, they
ought to have been there, for they cel-
tainly missed the best treat of the sea-
son. Everybody played good ball, both
teams, and the fans too. Blexrud gave
US nine hits altogether, but not more
than two in any che inning; Brinker
held the visitors down to six hits, and
in only one inning did they get more
| than one, and that was the fifth, when
they 80. three hits and two runs. AS
this is the last ball we will have this
season, and as the teams are very even
ly matched. the opportunity should be
taken advantage Of, and everybody
should turn out and see the closing
games.
The Lumbermen are playing the best
game they have played yet this year,
and the farewell games at home should
be SO well attended that it would be an
! incentive to them while away from
home. OF course, they will come back
in second place, no one doubts that, but
they will certainly play with more 'pep"
as Dad Brown says, if they knew that
they were appreciated enough TO draw
| biz crowds at home.
