Newport Beat Standpoint, Score
Five to Three
Effective Stick Work Counts

"A
baseball team, accompanied by about ~
fans, rooters, mascots, etc, boarded
special excursion train on the orea'
Northern tor Standpoint. to try their
skill in defeating the Standpoint Tigers
in game of ball.
At 80 Sandpoint's band marched up
to the Idaho Hotel, where the ball Doys
were staying, and after rendering sew
eral selections, proceeded to lead the
crowd out to the ball park. The Sand
point Tigers were already at practice
and people soon began to form their
opinions as to who would.win. Although
the weather was not conducive to good
baseball, the Tigers did good practice
work that showed up we'll for them IN
comparison to the poor practice put up
bv some of the Newport boys.
Standpoint took their outs, with the
southpaw, Fleming, in the box and
Judge behind the bat. Lawrence was
the first man up and succeeded In get
ting a safe hit between third base and
shortstop. Schurch followed at bat and
picking out good one put the Dali
awav over the fence between lett and
center, which was good for home rum
thus getting in two runs. Young was
next and put one oyer the fence IN ielt
that was good for two bases, then ad-
vanced to third on passed bail. Mars
struck out, Stadelman sacrificed, bring
ing Young in, and Foiles, who was next,
was thrown out at first, retiring New
port.
Newport then went ont to the field
with Schurch in the box and Foiles went
behind the bat. Bandelin, who was
first up, got safe hit and was followed
by two-bagger by Jens, bringing him
in. Riches got hit and Jens scored on
an error, and that was all tor Standpoint
until the fourth.
From the second inning on the play
ing was fast, furious and exciting al
every point. Standpoint tied the score
in the fourth, and from then on it was
nip and tuck all the way until the ninth
when Newport again rallied for safe
hits Young, the star center fielder
was the first man up in the ninth, and
picking good one put it over the fence
in lett for home run, thus bringing in
the winning run But this was not all
Stadelman followed with hit, stole
second and was brought in by two
Dagger by Foiles, after which Newport
was retired.
Now came Sandpoint's last chance
and they managed to get two on bases
with two ont, when Foles. seeing the
man on first taking good lead, threw
to Fox on first, but too late to catch his
man. Meanwhile the man on SECOND
started for third, but Fox threwto STRAIT
ton on third and Stratton put the run
ner out. Thus ended one Of the best an(
hardest fought games seen by our FAM
this season. and Newport was ready tc
return with one more scalp in their bel
and the satisfaction OF knowing tina
they had beaten the Tigers in game o
ball, a fact which had hitherto neve
been on record.
Both batteries did good work al
through the game. Viewpoints hare
hitting discouraged "Micky" Fleming
but he soon settled down to business
Schurch, who was in the box for New
port, was in good form, showed goo
control and did we'll in the ninth, whe1
he pitched fine ball with the umpire
decisions against him.
