ties.
Arrangements were completed the
first of the week for this contest

est crowd of fans of any game in the
two counties this season. With all
due praise to the Grangeville team
it must be admitted that the Reubens
aggregation has 1t on any prairie
team this year and is entitled to be
heralded as the best the Prairie has
produced. The Lewiston bunch Is
equally strong and fast and has a
great string of victories TO it's credit.

won the two games played there and
Lewiston carried off the honors at
both games played ON her home dia-
mond This is the deciding game
and the result will establish unques-
tionably which team is superior. This
will also be the last contest of the
year between the two aggregations

between the winner of Sundays game

Went to Cottonwood.
Something like two hundred local
folks went with full brass band, over

was the fifth game of the season for
the two teams and each had won two
contests, so the interest over the de-
Gliding game, augmented by the ath-
letic rivalry of the two towns, was
what might be called intense.
The game was ripper from the
somber silence of the start till the
roaring, rioting finish. Moses, on the

ruling upon base decisions and field
balls. notified Cottonwood that unless
play was resumed within the speci
fled time the game would be forfeit
