L
Grand old burg added another to its
string of victories last Friday when
the Cottonwood aggregation was
taken into camp by score of 5 TO 0.
1t was joyful contest, sweeping,
decisive, "Merry Widow victory,
with our boys playing that class of
ball that always counts and with their
opponents just fast enough to make
things hum for the umpire'S first
''Play balp' to the last, hrm,- relief
bringing you re out!''
By pitching a Shut-out game, in
which only one hit was secured off
his twisters, A. E. Bonner, the quiet,
modest, 17-year-old youngster, who
is now the regular Grangeville slab
artist, demonstrated his class last Fri
day. He makes good by twirling un-
usually fine ball, assisting and encour-
his teammates and employing June,
1908, methods in winning his games.
Another player worthy of special men
ton is Clarence Schmadeka, perhaps
better known to friends and acquaint-
ances as Happy" In the games
with Vollmer, Kamiah and Cotton
wood, he did not make single error
and in the latter contest, especially,
he accepted every chance that came
his way. In one inning all three put
outs were credited to him and his
spectacular catch of foul ball in the
third inning was a grandstand play of
the most unusual order. In action
Happy appears a bit lazy and
Indifferent but any deficiency in this
line is made up in ability and steadi-
ness.
But to tell the story of the game.
Grangeville wens to the bat and didn'
score. Cottonwood, alice samee. 1t
was like that until the beginning OF
the fourth inning. 1t was all awfully
close, through. One runner, by a
quick throw from Schmadeka to Jar
Wis, was tagged at home base and
thereby score was cut off. The
fateful fourth brought dismay fol
Cottonwood's rooters for Bonner,
Williams and Schmadeka all clouted
the sphere and trotted over home
plate in the order named. Cotton
wood tried hard to get man arouno
during their turn with the stick in :hi'
inning but such an event was no
forthcoming. The fifth, sixth anC
seventh innings passed into histor.
with no scores for either side, bu
IN the eighth Williams again circle'
the bases and in the ninth stanz;

AS result of the game implies
the Grangeville boys all put up grea
ball. Jarvis, the receiving end of tn
battery, was always to the good, bot

Crangeve Base Ball Team Wins First Honors in Hot Con-
tests-Unbeatable So Far This Season.
COTTONWOOD DEFEATED IN FAST GAME, S TO O
White Bird Willow Welders Got Five Scores to Grange
vile's Half Dozen-Was Exciting Contest

tncIe. DTOWn, captain and third
baSeman, played his usual consistent
game, Brooks, left fielder, did some
tall Sprinting between bases, while
Sempert and Dearing, of the center
and right gardens, respectively, each
pulled down a long fly and did there
share at the bat. Wilbur Moore was
satisfactory as umpire.
The Cottonwood team played under
one disadvantage that of being up
against a stronger aggregation. The
Truckositz brothers, of Forest, who
participated in the tournament here
last year, Cleveland, a Lewiston
player, and Litchheld, who caught for
the Vollmer bunch in the first game
on the local grounds this season, were
in the Cottonwood lineup.
Won Another at White Bird
The home boys came very near
being surprised at White Bird Sunday
when the Salmon river sluggerS ran
in FIVE scores before the Grangeville
players could make the circuit of
bases. 1t stood that way at the begin
ming of the fourth inning when the
Grangeville lads look brace and shut
out their opponents from that time
on and at the same time they crossed
the home plate six times. Bonner
was in the box for Grangeville the
first three innings. He was trife
off color, walking a batter when the
bases were full and allowing the Sal
mon river players to connect with his
curves and shoots with ease. He
stated that it was impossible for him
to work on the White Bird diamond
as a perceptible rise in the grounc
from the pitchers box to home plate
made his duties very difficult VIII.
liams went in for the locals and pitchec

opposing team got only one hit anC
no runs off his twirling
To the river team must be giveI
the credit of having given Grangevllle'
fast aggregation one of the hardes
games of the season. However, tn,
condition of the White Bird grounds
which, by the way, are just like
floor only they aren't, and the differ
ence in the altitude, together with tn
absence of two strong players, Brow
and Schmadeka, explains in som
measure Just why the boys didn't d

The Arena of Sport
Freedom Defeats Pollock.

The Freedom baseball team played
a great game of ball at that place last
Saturday when the Pollock ball tosSerS
were defeated by score of 4 to 3.
1t was a quiet, orderly game and was
very interesting to both players and
spectators alike. The boys from the
up-river towns are putting up great
ball this year and the baseball enthus-
lasts along the Salmon are evidencing
much interest in the different contests.
A game in which the final count is
4 to 3 is fast enough for the most up
to-date fan.
Rooters VS.. Regulars.
A whirlwind contest is scheduled fol
next Thursday evening when the
Rooters will attempt to do things tc

called at e O clock p. M, and will

brothers.
John F. Mcintyre, chief of Hams coun-
SELL was sworn and related the incident
during which Policeman Fallon said he
heard the defendant make a statement re-
garding Annis. Mr.. Mcintyre said that
he saw Fallon going toward Thornton
Hams and that he instructed his client
not to talk. The witness said that Thorn
ton Hams made no statement to Fallon
in his presence. Only a few questions
were put to Hams chief counsel on cross
examination.
Lee Bugg a real estate dealer, was the
next witness. Mr. Bugg said he had been

go down and see the land on the follow
ing Saturday.
Mr.. Bugg, on cross-examination, said
the appointment was never kept and
he never saw the defendant after April.
Walter Stafford, who said he was a
detective and investigator for rail
roads, testified that Skura early this
month told him that Policeman Fallon
and a man from the district attorneys
office wanted him to say that he heard
one of the Hams brothers say: Now
we've got him." Skura added that they
wanted him to say that Thornton Hams
asked for Annis, but he would not do
it because he did not want to get into

wrote of what he said and that Skura

NEAR ROANOKE, VA.

Roanoke, Va, December 2S.-West
Grub, negro, wanted for attempting
to wreck passenger trains on the Norfolk
and Western railroad on three different
occasions within the past three weeks,
was arrested yesterday near Wytheville,
not far from the scene of the attempted
crimes. Grubb was brought to Roanoke,
he fearing violence at the hands of en-
ragged citizens.
He made a confession here and told how
he had placed spikes on the rails one
night piled crossties on the rails on two
other nights, and returned a fourth time
to try to wreck the same train. the Chat
tanooga and Washington limited, when he
saw a track walker and went away. The
attempts, had they proved successful, un-
doubtedly must have caused a great loss
of life. Grubb gives a grudge he holds
against a section foreman as his reason
for seeking to destroy the trains.
