Feature of the Game

! SACSS Vi q o4(SSoSAGA SNeASCAA ~ OSAoSCeA4A'
Out of twenty two games played with
different teams thruout the state the
home team has lost but three.
The visitors tried hard to grab the
game, but the jinks that has been hang
ing over the Wenatchee bunch all this
season, refused to be driven away, and
in spite of all their efforts, the final
score was in our favor, to 8.
In the first place the visitors came
short-handed, with only eight men.
The hard hitting outfelder Ross who
was destined to come in on the 3:15
train, failed to show up. And as fl
nal resort, the mascot, who by the way
is no kid, and not bad ball player
either was stuck out in right field.
Whether Lee sent straight ones over
the pan for him, we are unable to say.
But at any rate he slammed out nice
hit in the second inning which scored
Perry from 3rd
The way the game opened up il
promised to be hard one. Up to the
5th inning the visitors led to O. But
it was not long 10 remain so. Brown
the 'invincible" who has been putting
up such fine article Of ball for the
Wenatchee bunch the past season fl
nally got his bumps.
Raymond first up, hit safe and
reached first, stole End, was advanced
to 3rd on a hit by Mahoney who
promptly stole the second sack. 1t
was Tholin's turn to bat then, and he
proceeded to bang one down the 3rd
base line for two bases, and the first
two men came home. Runs continued
to come in, until had been registered.
The visitors settled down about this
time and caught Keppler and Bee in a
double play which was followed by
strikeout by Lee.
The sixth inning opened for the
visitors with Krumholz first up. Lee
found little trouble in disposing of him.
Then comes Ames. For the past three
or four games the big fellow has
been getting the best Of this dangerous
hitter. But it was not so this time.
The second ball thrown proved to be
the one he had been waiting for, Low
these many days. Straight over the
center field fence it went and lost IT.
self in a string of box cars on the other
side. A feat that many Of the Cubs
had been trying to do all season, had
finally been accomplished. Well, ball
players may come and ballplayers may
go, but tits likely to be long time
before the fans will have another chance
to see the ball soar over that same spot.
Fortunately there was no one on the
bases at the time.
A peculiar play or rather a decision
came up in the 9Th inning which was
the starting of things which might have
been disastrous. Krumholz lifted
high fly to center field which was
gathered in by Mahoney who made an
over anxious effort to throw it, after
Juggling it for several moments, he
dropped it. The runner was declared
safe. The bases filled up rapidly.
Morrison knocked out a feeble hit scor-
ing one run. Perry would liked to have
made hit then, and could he have
repeated Ame's stunt, might have
won the game. But three strikes at
empty air convinced him that there was
nothing doing.
