FIRST GAME
BY a Score of 8 to 5 Upper
Valley Town Played All
Around Home Team.

The warriors from Leavenworth
took the long end of the bad game
yesterday from Wenatchees hand
some young men by I: score of s to
5.
Play was called at four o'clock, or
little after that time, an effort hav-
ing been made to await the arrival
of a special train from Leavenworth
bringing some two hundred fully in
itiated fans. However, the large
crowd in the grandstand and bleach
ers became impatient and threatened
to demolish those costly improve
ments at Recreation park if the UNI
pire did not say "play ball." and that
without further delay.
The game started with Leaven-
worth at the bat, Mr.. Brown occu-
plying the mound for Wenatchee and
Krumholz wearing the bird-cage.
Wenatchee was all to the bad and
before the visitors could be retired,
two of them had crossed the fourth
and final corner, due very largely to
the ability of Wenatchee players to
throw the ball long distances.
Mr.. Lee, an obliging young man,
and who has always in the past been
more or less of a puzzle to Wenat-
chez, started to pitch for Leaven-
worth. The little fellow weighs less
than three hundred pounds and when
his salary wing is working, as per
plans and specifications, he floats
them over, fast or slow, straight or
slanted, as occasions may require.
But yesterday it seemed that some
Wenatchee batsman was always wait
ing for his choicest offerings with
pump handle and awaited his offer
ings to the several points of the
compass. After two runs had been
scored by Wenatchee, two men on
bases, and only one man down. Mr..
Lee was taken to the baseball stable
and blanketed, not without a mild
protest, however, from the good ma
tured pitcher. Mr.. Bellfry, some
times star pitcher for the University
of Washington, and brought in for
the suspicious occasion, trotted to
the center of the diamond, smile
on his face and his golden locks
glowing like rubies at sunset. He
was greeted with a bingo and two
more blue uniformed men capered
and pranced across the home plate.
In the third base on balls, steal.
hit and some good sprinting annex
ed another run for the blues, but af-
forwards, from a Wenatchee point of
view, there was nothing doing.
The young man from the seat of
learning frightened up and persist
emily refused to allow Wenatchee
man to get even reasonably close to
the home plate. His pitching after
the third inning was a brilliant ex-
hibition and he was given splendid
support by his teammates.
Leavenworth scored two more in
the second and one in the third by
taking advantage of Wenatchee's
misplays and Mr.. Browns Witness,
coupled with a couple of hits at
time when runs could be annexed
thereby. In the fourth, after Ray
mond had walked and been caught
Mapping at first, Mahoney singled to
center. stole second and scored on
Thobin's drive to right center, the
latter coming home a moment later
when Wenatchee's imported second
baseman allowed a grounder from
Millan's bat to go between his legs.
After the fourth inning the game
developed into a pretty pitchers bat
tie, with the account about evenly
balanced so fas as hits are concern
ed. but with Mr.. Brown the wilder
of the two.
A crowd of more than one thous-
and witnessed the game, which, not
withstanding some loose playing, was
very interesting and was anybody's
game until the very last.
