out. Then at the suggestion of the
Post Falls team the last iuning was
left unplayed.
A Post Falls spectator was Leard
to make the suggestion that Post
Falls lost the game by reason of The
lack of strict attention to business on
the part OF three of the players, who
when they saw the ball coming their
way, would look around to see if
their fair companions in the crowd
were watching them, and thereby
they missed or fumbled many fly
catches.
