uArrING AVERAGE
OUR BALL TEAM

fredericksburg people are and should
be proud of their baseball team. 1t has
played 20 games and lost only one. That
game was with Ashland early in the sea-
son and 1t Is but fair 20 say thatiiall the
men bad been In their usual condition
this game would not have been lost.
There Is no reason we should not have
the best amateur team ia the State and
we believe We have. There is only one
team, Winchester. that has a claim for
equality and our management are
anxious for and have endeavored To
arrange series of games with II. so far
without success. 1.-The promptness with
which our people have responded to all
calls Tor assistance to make our team
strong, should be an incentive to our
players to always be in condition to
play ball.
The result OF the series with Peters
burg has caused q big surprise among
the fans all over the State
A majority OF Petersburg and Rich.
mond people were so sure Of the Peters
burg team winning all three games that
wagers were made at odds OF 3 to l
Their eyes were not really opened as to
the strength OF our team, even after the
first game, and they thought Il was won
on chance" Later they realized W hat
they were up against. We are very
proud OF our little umpire, Mr.. John +.
Gouldman. His knowledge Of the game
has been evidenced In all cases Of protest
against decisions, and sustained by ar
peal to book rules. His decisions have
given general satisfaction and In The late
series with Petersburg, that team got the
benefit OF the doubt In most decisions.
There will be no game here until Wed
nesdey, July 22nd, when the Brook
lands" the strongest team IN Wash
iDgton. will play. On Thursday, July
10, our boys win go to Petersburg aud
play series of three games, Thursday,

BASE BALL BAWLING.
ShOshOne Trims GOOding, Univer.
Sity Game the 18th.

About 80 people, including the band,
went down to Gooding, Sunday, to see
the Shoshone base ball team wipe the
earth with the locals This they did,
with a score of 13 to 5. Shoshone did
not score every inning, the seventh be-
ing their harvest time, when they gath
cred in 6 runs. Gooding was never in
line for victory. though they did brace
up in the ninth and make two runs.
Killingsworth, pitcher was the best
run-getter for Gooding, he scoring
twice. w. Gwin and Swope took three
runs each, and MeFall and Witty two
each. The game was thoroughly en-
joyable because of the good feeling on
both sides.
1t was lot more than the fact that
he gave them the game at Gooding,
hat led the Shoshone team to engage
Umpire Furcht of Gooding to oficiate
at the game with the university June
18th, and at the Fourth of July series.
Mr.. Furcht has the rare faculty of
knowing just what to do, and doing it
in way to please even those who lose
by his decisions. He is rated by the
Shoshone fans as one of the ablest base
ball umpires they have ever known.
The Gooding base ball team viii play
a return game with the Shoshone team
on the afternoon of Decoration day.
May 30th, on the grouds of the Shoshone
team. A big crowd is anticipated.
In response to a challenge, the mar
ried men of Shoshone will meet the To-
cal bachelors in three deadly combats
on the base ball diamond, the games be-
ing set for the evenings of Friday to-
night, Tuesday and Thursday of next
week. The benedicts are Messrs. Dill,
Todd, Baugh, Wilmington, Beckett,
Horne, Murray, Pierce, Holden, Swope.
They will play against the regular team,
with the exception OF Messrs. Swope
and Horne. The losers of two games
viii buy an oyster supper for them
selves and the winners, and each play
er invite one guest-40 oyster suppers
in all. The games will be called at $50
p. m. Ten cents admission to the grand
stand will be charged, the proceeds to
help pay the expenses of the university
team to Shoshone, June Is. Every one
in town should see these games, or at
least send in the price.
The State University team will meet
the locals June 18th, in what should be
the fastest game played in this part of
the state this year. A great crowd
should attend.
