Notes OF the Game.
The feature OF the game was the cos
tunes Of the players. Anything went
from psiamas to tights.
As a slab artist Ed. Wright is no
sIouch. He played the position like
veteran.
X. W. Kelley, who of1ciated behind
the bat for the Newtowns, was out OF
bis class. He was too good. 1t was
very evident that this was not kelIy's
first attempt at backstop. lie put up
too good an article of ball.
Bert Lender, who held down first
sack for the "Pippins," made the
most sensational play of the contest
when he stopped hot one with his
head piece.
Druggist Currin, third sack man for
the Spitz, thought he was rolling pills
for few innings, but finally discov
cred his mistake and played the game
In good style.
As custodian of second bag, Sheriff
Morse handcuffed the sphere with
alacrity. He was also there with the
throw and cut short the careers of
several ambitious Spitz.
Banker Pratt at short refused pay
ment on several hot ones and let one
or two flies go uncollected. Later he
redeemed himself by depositing a
couple of safeties.
Joe Tompkins kept the Newtowns
guessing pretty well until the sixth,
when they put him In cold storage.
AS first baseman for the Spitz,
George Sargent played like veteran.
George disdsined to use mits and
stopped everything that came along.
Frank Davidson was Johnny on the
spot on second. He covered lots of
ground and also did some good stick
work.
Del Rand convinced everybody that
he is the greatest one handed player
in Hood River county.
Rooters devoted a good deal of at
tention to Shortstop Oliver. His con-
tempt for theii remarks, however, was
supreme.
Judge Henderson showed his admir-.
ers on the bleaohers that the old man
is still there when 1t comes to sport.

and pounded the leather in good
shape.
DR.. Jenkins didn't have his gas ap-
paratus with him aud the frequency
with which he famed the air was evi.
IDENTIFY painful to him.
Harry Bailey was supposed to play
right garden for the Newtowns, bui
oamped near first base. Some one
raped long distance fly and before
Harry could get in call the batter
circIed the sacks. Later he made
good by rapping the ball and caItine
bis bloomers around the bases for 9
| run.
Somebody said Joe Vogt had glass
arm, but there was nothing to it.
Joe's throwing from left field put him
In the professional class.
Undertaken Nichuls didn't take
kindly to flies, but was big bug with
the stick all right. lie laced out the
horsehide for two bagger when the
sacks we're full.
Charlie Clarke, after getting to frs
on safe hit, took a foolish powder
and was caught mapping by Pitcher
Wright. He retired gracefully.
Morse, who caught for the Spitz
was kept busy locating wild throw
from the fielders. He was the hardes
worked man on either team and play
ed good game.
DR.. Brosius az captain of the Spit:
did his playing from the side lines
The doctor was kept busy trying t.
keep the score straight.
As oooster for the Newtowns Charli,
Castner objected to his brother
Johns, style of pack on several dc
cisions, but was Eordered out of tn
warehouse. After this he stood on tn
side lines and accused brother Johl
of being Gull when it came to um
piring.
AS far as our limited information
goes this is the only game where g
much leather was chased In the out
field without a putout.
As substitute Claude Markham wa
not called on for his services. An
chored on the side lines near frs
base he employed his leather -lunge
voice to encourage the Newtowns AN
to put confusion into the ranks @
their opponents.
AL Loetfier substituted at short fo
Banker Pratt in the seventh inning
but opportunity was tickle. 1t didn
give AL chance to distinguish him
self.
When Chris Nickelsen decorate
his derby with red band it was a
off with the Spitz. 1t was the bird {
