HIGH SCHOOL TEAM
DEFEATED BY REGULARS.
Fast Game to the Ninth When Reg
ulars Made Four More Runs
Through Errors


The town team put one on the
local high school team Sunday after
noon at the city base ball park by
the score of 10 to ). 1t was five
six game up to the ninth inning
when the town team punched d few
hits and this together with few
errors placed them far in the lead.
Errors We're not a minus quantity on
either side of the game, but luck, if
we may call it that gave the high
school boys the worst of it in that
fatal ninth. The game was fast
from the start, with the high school
ers Leading in Is score to the
eight inning when two came over on
them and then that ninth-it was
awful.
There was good crowd out to
witness the battle and even hOugh
the town team won the game there
are many Of the opinion that il they
ever do it again they viii have to
strengthen some in several places,
the high schoolers are not always 90
ing TO bunch their errors.
Foxy Oliver, the twiller for the
high school boys pitched a game of
ball and surprised those who mad no
yet seen Foxy in the box. He is
is one of those cool headed players
who knows at all times what should
be done and if is up to him he
generally does it. Instead of ten
runs the town team should have had
but and the high school team were
entitled to only three. This school
line up is strong and when the town
team is organized and in practice
there is going to be plenty of good
games in the local park.
Weber and Thompson were n
the box for the town team and held
the boys down to a few scattering
hits Doc West supported them be-
hind the bat and was in his usual
good trim Doc is one of those
players who can get up any time of
day or night and get into game
and always be there. The town boys
were not in the best of trim but at
that they showed up some good ma
terial which will go to make up the
regular team which proposes to 60
things to any old team u this se,-
tion of Idaho.
Paul Evans was the first TO the
bat in the game and he proved that
it was not size alone which makes
ball players. He reached first by
narrow margin but went out at
the second pan in a double play as
Foxy went out at first. Grover
Evans went down on a dead ball and
stole two sacks coming home on
sacrifice by Lawrence (better known
as Sugar. Watts, who died on the
third sack when Salee famed.
Doc came up first for the town
team and made a hit. He had not
yet gotten used to FOxy's foxy de-
livery and was too far from that sac
when the umpire called out Web
Der went clear to the third sack on
a series of errors but failed to score
on Laird's sacrifice. oliver reached
the first sack and he and Laird ad-
vanced a bag each as Reed went out
at first retiring the side. Score 10.
Hooker came up first in the sec
ond but went out at first. Pollard
walked but was caught trying to
take the second bag. Chipp famed
retiring the side. Dan Altmyer
was the first out on the town team
in the second by failing to find the
ball. Fred Altmyer went down at
first and he was followed in the
same manner by Elgin Watts.
Max Tyler reached first on an err
ror in the third, stole second and
was caught at the plate trying to
score from second on hit by Paul
Evans. Foxy went out at first, ad-
vancing Paul to third, who slipped

on second when Sugar Watts went
out at first Schwarz came up first
for the town team and made hit.

center who scooped it. Score2-2.
