Crangeville Ball Players Won a
Game and Lost One.
BEAT NEZ PIERCE Fl TO O
Cottonwood, With Strong Lineup,
Defeats Fast Local Bunch.

During the past week the local base
ball team has won game and lost
one. Six victories ahd three defeats
IS the standing of the home team now.
That's putting up better ball than
Grangeville fans have been accustom-
ed TO in the past few seasons.
The Grangeville-Nez Perce Shut-Out.
Nez Perce lost out in the tourna-
ment at Cottonwood last week and
was secured to contest against the
local boys for the Fourth of July
game here Saturday. They proved
to be easy picking. Williams was on
the slab for the local lads and pitched
great game, the visitors being unable
TO connect with his slants and angles.
The Grangeville aggregation helded
like veterans, having only two errors
chalked against them, and the batting
practice obtained from the game was
worth lot. At the close of the 9TH
inning the score stood 9 to @ in
Grangeville's favor. In the 9th
everyone of the home players circled
the bases and Jarvis, Suren and Bon
ner went around twice. This made
the result Il to 0 and the crowd got
up and left and the players went too.
Murrey, center fielder, made two
home runs and Bonner contributed
another. Williams and Sempert got
three-baggers and Brooks planted out
a two base hit
How Cottonwood Did 1t.
Before crowd that exceeded in
number and enthusiasm any turnout
ever made for a common everyday
ball game in Grangeville our blessed,
beautiful base ball boys went down to
defeat at the hands of the Cotton
wood aggregation Sunday afternoon.
Sixteen to six was the score and sew
eral questionable decisions, fast play
ing by the visitors and little of the
other variety by the locals were the
reasons.
Neither side scored in the first two
acts. Iurnbull, a Cottonwood play
er, was caught between third base
and home in the third inning and
Umpire Moore declared the runner
out. Umpire Jenney, of Cotton
wood, couldn't agree Herewith and
wrangle lasting about As minutes
resulted. The play was eliminated
Dy neither decision remaining in force
and the game resumed with Fred
mckinney, manager of the visiting
team, holding the indicator. Cotton
wood ran in three scores before
Grangeville came to bat. Then
brooks started a batting rally and our
boys circled the bases for four runs.
nat was all, however, until the ninth
inning when Brooks and Jarvis brought
IN a score>apiece. In the fourth and
nftn stanzas Cottonwood was held
ao"ii OUT IN the SIXTH inning they ran
around the diamond five times. VIII
Hams went in for the locals in the
seventh but he was unable to check
tne score-getting squirt of the bunch
irom across the prairie and they Sc
cured seven more tallies. Brown
pitched the last inning for Grange
vile and shut the visitors out.
Features of the contest were Muir
Teys work in center field, Fred
Lange's and Weckler's hits, both
good for four bases, and the enthusi-
asm OF the crowd that saw it all.
