THAT SUNDAY
BALL GAME A!
! ocal Team Mops the Earth With
drangeviIle Until Last Inning.
Then Goes to Pieces---Wins
Game but Causes Row.


brass band and about $50 loyal
ball fans, came over from the
county seat Sunday morning pre-
pared to wrest the base ball
championship of Idaho county
from the Cottonwood team or die
in the attempt-b but they didn't
win it.
The game started about 2::SO p.
m. with Fred Lange in the box
for the locals and Moses doing a
similar stunt for the visitors.
The game was a slugging contest
from the start with Cottonwood
drawing the heavy end of the
hits, and the way the county
seat boys were outclassed up TO
the ninth inning was a sight to
behold. Lange pitched three in
nings for the locals and was then
replaced by Rustemeyer. Moses,
who started the g a nj e for
Grangeville was literally batted
out of the box by the vicious
Cottonwood sluggers and. was
later replaced by Carr, who did
not fare much better.
At the end of the eighth in
ming the game stood 16 to Z in
favor of Cottonwood and w a s
apparently cut, dried and packed
safely away in the attic, but then
they struck the toboggan. In
the ninth the locals tried to see
how near they could come to re-
Sembling a sieve and the way
everything went through infeld
and outfeld was enough to bring
despair to the heart of the most
optimistic fan. Repeated errors
in this inning let Grangeville run
in 8 scores and then war broke
out after the ninth runner had
crossed the plate, had been call
ed out by the Grangeville umpire
Tor cutting third base and then
called safe after the umpire dis
covered this run was needed to
tie the score. AS this retired
the side the local players came in
to bat and then a jangle ensued.
After several minutes of argu-
ment the Grangeville umpire,
who was umpiring the field de-
clslons, took the authority upon
himself to order the teams to
play ball and because they did
not DO so then forfeited the game
70 Grangeville, an action entirely
out OF his province. Later Um-
pre- Randall, who was deciding
strikes and balls, ordered the
Grangeville team to resume the
game within five minutes and,
When they did not do so, declar-
eC the game forfeited to Cotton
wood, score 9 to 0.
For the benefit of those who
lad money wagered on the game
we quote the following from
SSpaldlng's Official Base Ball
Gulde for 1910 which show con-
sluslvely that Umpire Randall
was the only person who could
ueclare the game forfeited:
rage S74, rule 60. In order to de-
uler respective duties, the umpire
'uugmg balls and strikes shall be desig-
ns'ea as the "Umpire-in-Chief, the
umpire judging base decisions as the
'leld Umpire"
rage S75, rule 81, sec. 4. The Um-
1s-in-Chief alone shall have authority
"ueciare game forfeited -
furthermore, even had t h e
game tied, the local team had
another half inning to play and
would no doubt have secured
enough runs to win out. How
sver' the game as won or lost,
uoss .;.s not give much credit to
e.'ner team and is nothing to
crow over.
:. ~ - add to the unpleasantness
= The final inning, one of the
Utiaangeville Sisa players got sassy"

came, and proceeded to open Up

Indians, wild animals, inclem-

the bravery and privation of
this little heroic band?
By accident they discovered
some Indian Corn, which they
appropriated for seed, and from
which they raised their first
crop, and made some improve

pointed the Oath day of Novem-
