PILOT ROCK WINS IT
Big Barley Growers Nose Out Victory
In Sundays Game and Athena
Goes into the Cellar.

10y blasts from snow-capped kopjes

days game between Pilot Rock and
Athena was slow and the error column
well populated.
A goodly sized crowd attended the
game, despite the rev day. The game
went through to the end without
wrangling and even though the home
team lost, the crowd was well repaid
for the trip to the grounds. The
Pilot Rock bunch are manly fellows
and enjoyed their first trip of the
season to Athena.
Wilson pitched good game for
Athena, and Pilot Rock started with
Oakley, who was hammered out of the
box in the fourth, when every kid on
the home team faced him. Mr.. Lo-
baugh was tagged in from the out
field and relieved him of further
humiliation and finished the game.
Athena started the run-gettiug in
the third. when Wilson singled. stole
second and went to third on stones
ont to Lobaugh scored when Groves
put slow one into the diamond that
caused muss at first base resulting
in the umpire calling the little short
stop safe. Pilot Rock came back in
the fourth and scored four with the
assistance of three singles, a wild
pitch and three errors. DIR. Lieuallen
pinged ont a single, moved around to
third on errors by Groves and Hugh
Lieuallen, which allowed Smith and
Gilbert to repose at second and first
stations. respectively. A wild pitch
allowed the doctor to come home, and
Lobaughs long single brought In

scored by Doan's two base smash.
Wilson then pitched himself out of it.

errors and base ON balls, with no

up. He fuzzled one from H. Lieuallen 8
bat, Willaby scoring and all hands
moving up peg. Then a passed ball
allowed Booher to score and the boys
on the bases advanced another station,
from whence they oantered home on
singles by Stone and Smith.
In the fifth Booher scored again for
Athena. making 1t six to four with
the Rock on the short end. In the
seventh Pilot Rock again struck her
stride aud registered three after Gill
bert and Lobaugh had been retired.
The doctor came to the front with
bis second safe hit, purloined second
and third and scored when W. Smith
went to second on the double error
by Booher and J. Smith. A single by
M. Gilbert scored w. Smith, who
took second on an error. aud came in
on a single by Doan. The kids tied
it up in the eighth when L. Lieuallen

kins by telling them some things
about Mt. Sinai and what happened
there some years ago. He is dead
sure the disturbance at that point
was caused by volcanic eruption and
not by any special manifestation of
Providence when the tables of stone
were delivered to Moses. Haupt is
convinced that it was nothing more
than an eruption just like that
at Mount Etna that caused consterna-

his belief upon the similarity of the

TO ignorant superstition"
Isn't it strange how easily every
thing in the Bible is accounted for?
