WALLA WALLA PLAYS ERRoRLEss BALL
PRETTY CONTEST AT CITY PARK
YESTERDAY BETWEEN Lo-
GALS AND COLLEGE,

The baseball fans who remained at
home yesterday afternoon missed the
best game that has been played
in Walla Walla this season. The
Roosters and the Missionaries met for
the third time and the way they
nIayed ball would have been creditable
in any of the big leagues. The college
boys were out to win if possible while
the Boosters were on their toes all
the time. The playing was fast and
clean and the stick work good. RigSby
did the twirling for the Missionaries
and barring a little wildness he pitched
= star game. Rummell was in the box
for Wana Walla and kept up his stand
ard as pitcher. The small crowd
took great interest in the contest and
rooted hard for the two teams. 1t
was anybody's game up to the sew
enth inning and it was a toss up who
would be the victor. By putting up an
errorless game and effective hitting the
Boosters won out by a score of 4 to
/.
Whitman's only run was made in
the third inning. Just before the game
Manager Tempany had the grass cut
in the field which made it slippery and
this was responsible for Whitman's
only score. With two men out Suther-
land sent a high one out to the GEN.

when within three feet of the descend

SPRAYING on the ground. The ball
dropped safe and Sutherland reached
the initial bag Tommy Duhcher then
picked out a straight one and slammed
it out for two bags, Sutherland cross
ing the plate.
one of the features of the game was
the fast double play executed in the
fifth inning by butcher and Reser.

in the nose by ball thrown from the
field which knocked him out His
place at third was filled by Maloney,
who played the bag in good shape
Tempany did some good work on

balls that would have proved disas-
trous to the Boosters had the big man
not scooped them into his glove.
Maloney was there with the stick.
He got three safe ones out of four
times up.
The Boosters were full of ginger and
pepper yesterday and kept the hot stuff

Try For Honors.
WHITMAN HAS an EXCELLENT TEAM
PULLMAN BOASTS OF THE BEST
AGGREGATION EVER SENT
FROM SCHOOL,.

Tomorrow afternoon on Ankeny field
will take place what promises to be one
of the most exciting track meets ever
held here Washington State College
will meet Whitman on the track Of the
local college and the contest will be
close one.
w. S. c. is in good shape and has
already met the University of Montana
at Missoula, and although defeated by
the strong team of the latter institution
they put up a good fight for honors.
Capt ''Norski' Thomle and his team
arrived this afternoon with Manager
Kreager. Kreager is confident that
his team will put it all over the home
college team. They have all their old
men except Harley and some good new
ones With this strong aggregation
Pullman feels confident of victory.
On the other hand Whitman is al
most sure of victory. Capt. Dave
Graham is in fine shape himself and
expresses confidence in his team to
| win. Cody" Cox, the sprinter, who did
so much last year, is even better this
season and promises to break his own
| records. Mug" Oldright, who sur
prised them in the quarters the other
day in the tryout, will show the Pull
| nantes what the real pace is. Phil
! brook, a new man, who jumped five
! feet eight inches just for fun, in prac-
| tice, and who hurdles like a grass
| hopper when chased by hen, is in
| fine shape and will surely pull in two
| or three medals. Dimmick, the big
| man, is tossing the hammer lis feet
without any trouble at all. His only
difficulty is finding boys to hunt for
| it after he throws it. Jim Lyman is
putting the shot so far that they
| have to put a handle on it to throw it
back to him.. His brother John runs
| the low hurdles just like there were
no hurdles there. Felthouse is vault
ing and jumping exceptionally we'll
/ for a beginner and if he is not hurt by
falling when he vaults too high, will
be right there with the dope. Little
Fancher' is oaily stripping seconds
from his brothers record and if Pull
| mans new man skins him he will have
to move a bit more lively than the pace
| set by our new electric street car.
| butcher will throw the discus and any
other "cus'-and that is all that needs
to be said about the "dis-cus'
| Besides these men there are num-
| Der of dark horses, that when once
! turned loose-will set the Pullman
boys to gearing up. They are Woods,
Dodwell, Walker and others who hope
to win their first laurels tomorrow.
AS this is the only track meet that
will be held this year, great deal Of
interest is being shown in it. Dorsey
Hill will referee, and r. F. Mclean
will start the boys off. Frank, Dake
and Shiffner will watch the boys at
the finish, and Kirkman, Dement, and
Ankeny will see that they don't jump
too high and will keep an eye on the
| missiles that they throw.
The meet will be pulled off at 2
guarantees that it will not drag but be
| swift and exciting.
