BREWSTER PLAYS
BOOSTERS TEAM
DR.. King Has Thrilling Elk
perience While Umpiring
Game at Brewster.

through the Methow valley, over the
divide and up the Okanogan valley
as far as Omak, and sweeping back
as far as Brewster, the touring
boosters of the Wenatchee CONNER
cial club added the final scalp to
their belt by beating the Brewster
civil engineers in game of ball
During the lull following sump-
tuous spread by Mr.. Gamble, at the
Hotel Brewster, the engineers chal-
lenged the boosters to a contest on
the diamond. This was promptly
and eagerly accepted, the leader of
the boosters, DR.. King, was acclaim
ed the umpire, and they repaired to
the battle ground.
The lineup follows: Tumble P.
Johnson (sunsidised) c, Griggs lib,
Case 2b, Booney 3b, Ludington IF,
Raymond If, Piper CT, Coburn SIS and
Thomason score keeper.
The lineup of the Brewsters fol-
lows: Roberts, Halman, Law,
Bruce, Wenner, Pringle, Collier,
Smith, Gillespie.
All having reached their places
and assumed the correct attitudes
there came forth from the center of
the diamond a sound like the rum
BILE of threatening thunders, play
ball." and the fireworks was on.
Case was first at the bat and was
famed to a fare-you-well, but broke
for first just the same and while the
ball beat him to it by half the dis
lance the Jump" wisely rOared,
Safe" and the Brewsters went into
fits, while such favorite terms as
Rotten" Bum" kill the imp"
mingled with shouts of glee filled
the air.
Tumble was next to bat, and af-
ter the umpire had called two
strikes and three balls" the prof.
struck fly and flew to first. He
was followed by Griggs, who sent
a grounder over towards the railroad
grade, letting Trumble to second and
Case to third. While the Brewsters
were trying to recover the shock,
Griggs while on first stole the same
and deposited it half way between
first and second, SO as to shorten
his next run. Mooney went to bat
and sent a right fielder to the right
of the newly located base and the
Brewsters yelled foul" but Griggs
promptly threw the bag back to it's
proper place and while the engineers
were threatening to mob the umpire
Case, Tumble and Griggs slid in
home. By some means or other
three boosters got put out, which let
the Brewsters to bat.
Roberts, first to bat, by jumping
high into the air, hit one of Trum-
ble's skyrocket curves and sent it
into Ludington's hat, who sent it to
first, where it caught Griggs on the
end of the finger, causing him to
stampede the diamond. Roberts
got to first. Halman was next at the
bat but his good eye prevented him
from striking at the professors rain
bow curves, but all balls that did not
go higher than ten feet over his head
were called Strikes" and before he
knew what had happened he was
famed. Law went to bat and sent
left fielder between Piper's legs,
who fumbled it until the crowd went
mad and then he threw it to Coburn,
who chased it around himself, like a
cat chasing it's tail, until Roberts
came home. Bruce went to bat and
being unable to reach the professors
curves was famed. Wenner followed
and sent grounder through the NIT
of the shortstop, Coburn, under the
left wing of Mooney on third and out
into the vacant field. Law came
home and Wenner got to third. Prin-
gle got to bat. two men down and
tense. After two strikes and three
balls Pringle sent a center fielder
dangerously close to the umpire and
! let Law and Wenner home. Smith
famed, which closed the first round.
The rounds that followed were
filled with as many brilliant and
spectacular stunts as the first.
At the end of the fifth inning the
umpire called out: THE game is
ended; results, Boosters "a, the
Brewsters 3d." at which the latter
rushed upon him, and it was with
difficulty that he was saved from
mob violence. Charges, recharges,
counter charges and cross-charges of
bribery were made but not proven.
Littlefeld, Atkinson, Nutley and
others of the team rendered valuable
assistance as substitutes and coach
ers.
