BASE BALL NOTES.

The local high school team got
defeated last Friday by a similar
aggregation at Grangeville. The
score was 16 to 2.
The Grangeville high school
nine will cross bats with the
local school boys here this after
noon. An interesting game is
expected.
Don't fail to come out and take
in the game between the home
team and Nezperce at the new
ball park tomorrow. 1t will sure
prove a fast one.
The local ball ground will still
stand considerable work but
Manager Severns hopes to get it
into pretty fair condition in a
couple weeks more.
A kid nine from Stock creek,
north of town, played the best
team at Greencreek Sunday and
got defeated by a score of 20 to
27. Close game, that.
Practically everyone that can
get away will go to Vollmer Sun
day to take in the ball game
there between that team and the
local nine. The game will be a
battle royal.
Johnnie Noel arrived in the
city Monday evening from San
Francisco and will catch for the
local ball team this summer.
He is a valuable member and
will strengthen the team a great
deal.
The Kamiah and Nezperce
teams crossed bats again last
Friday, the game going to
Kamiah by a score of Is to IA.
When they get to holding the
score down to 8 to 2 they will
be playing ball.
Owing to the rainy weather
the local ball team did not go tc
Vollmer to play last Sunday but
will go next Sunday. 1t is
reported that Vollmer has severa
league players hired for the
occasion so the boys will have
their work cut out for them.
The Grangeville ball team will
probably secure the services o.

A petition has been sent in to the

be changed so as to have the mail

is much better. In case the change
is made Greencreek and Winona

In some unaccountable manner
fire broke out about II o'clock
Wednesday night at the George
Davis home ahsgt three miles west
of town, a. house and con-
tents were entirely destroyed. The
family were asleep when the fire
started and barely escaped with
their night cloaths. How the fire
started is mystery and it leaves
the family in bad shape as all of
their clothing and household goods
were lost. Mr.. Davis was in town
yesterday morning getting clothing
and supplies for his family but ii
will be some time before he can
replace all of the property that was
destroyed. He was just beginning
to get nicely fixed and the fire
will put him back again for some
! time.
