TWO GAMES
FOR LOCALS
Grangeville Won First Honors
of the Week Scores
Run High.

The national game was given
prominent place in the program of tn
4th and 5th of July and while the
contests as played were not especial
ly of note as games of merit from the
viewpoint of the fan who keeps post
ed on batting averages, percentages,
team work, etc, they were mighty in
teresting to the big crowd which saw
them. There were runs, scores and
tallies galore and the fine points of
the game We're cast to the four
winds in several instances.
The first game of the two-day eel
ebration was played Monday after
noon between Grangeville and Koos-
kia and we must say that the locals
practice. The score was q to 3
and it was Kooskia's third defeat of
the season at the hands of the hus-
ky Grangevillians. Clyde Moses was
on the slab for the locals and de-
served a shutout. He made a re-
cord in striking out the first nine
batters who faced him and two of
the next three, the tenth man at bat
going the way of the forgotten via a
little pop fly to the peerless pitcher.
He secured, in all, fifteen strikeouts.
Kooskia threw up the sponge in the
Sth inning.
/ In Tuesday mornings contest be-
tween Grangeville and Cottonwood
the home boys were shut out, 10 to
o. Carr pitched a mastery game
! for Grangeville and should have won.
! The fielding of his teammates was
positively ragged at times and there
were one or two plays of which the
term "bonehead" is weakly express
sive. Carr is credited with ten
strikeouts and only four hits were
chalked against him. That's good
enough pitching anywhere. A good
sized and thoroughly enthusiastic
crowd saw this game.
Right in the face of Jeffres' hu-
initiating defeat by Johnson, the big
black, term not originaD and def
initely demolishing the theory that
it's impossible to 'come back"
Grangeville handed large and juicy
specimen of the popular genus citrus
to Cottonwood in the afternoon game.
Score II to 4. Wow! Boss Brown,
the time-tried warrior, was one OF
the locals who came back strong and
the others of the team helped tie
the string. Brown pitched the first
three innings, striking out six of
the heavy Cottonwood sluggers. They
could get nothing in the first and
second acts but scored twice in the
third. Grangeville also got two
around in this inning but in the
fourth the real crash came. The
home boys circled the diamond a
half dozen times, slapping out the
slants slung by the slender, sad
faced Rustemeyer at will and there
by clinching the game. Moses, our
Clyde, took the reins after that and

during which the visitors ran in two
more counts, he toyed with the hit

Sth four of the locals crossed the
platter, but in the ninth neither
team scored. 1t was decidedly oycl
whelming victory for Grangeville-a
surprising, crushing, bitter defeat fol
Cotton wood.
Players and Plays.
Carr's fine spirit is one thing that
wins a home for him with the fans
He pitched a great game Tuesday
morning, but his teammates stuffed
In the afternoon he played a whirl
wind game at short and materially
assisted Pitchers Moses and Brown
to win their game. It's such spirit
and such ability that makes baseball
the game of the nation.
A meeting of the members of the
baseball team and everybody inter
ested in the game will be held a
the Commercial club rooms tonight
The meeting is called with the hope
of keeping the present team together
for several weeks yet this summer
it having been a custom in past sea
sons to drop the national game after
