rie league finds four teams tied fol
second place with Cottonwood still
leading with 75O per cent. The games
f last Sunday were full of excitement
and sensation and only after the har-
dest kind Of ball playing were the
victors determined. The two sensa-
tions Of the day were the defeat ad-
ministered to Cottonwood by Ilo-Voll-

Reubens by Grangeville in a twelve
inning game. Winchester played a
good game at Nezperce up to the
eight when Turnbull, the crack pitcher
Of the lumberjacks, blew up.
Hard-Fought Victory.
With both Carr and White pitch
ing the most parsimonious sort of ball,
Grangeville nosed out Reubens last
Sunday in a twelve inning game of
the grandest kind of ball, game that
was worth anybody's time. The game
stood 2 to up to the ninth inning in
favor Of Reubens when the Grange
vile team tied the score and twelve
innings Of fast ball playing was neces-
sary to determine the winner.
The game was a pitchers duel be-
tween Carr and White. Carr held
Reubens to 2 hits while the local
sluggers secured hits off of White,
2 being Of the scratchy kind. Carr
struck out l men while White whiff-
ed out 8. Two Reubens players were
given free passes to first by Carr and
two Of the local boys were hit by
White. Grangeville tied the score 2
to 2 in the 9th and won in the 18th
when the run was pushed across the
plate with two men down. Grange
vile and Reubens both played grand
ball.
The game was played in 2 hours
and 5 minitues.
Batteries-Grangeville, Carr and
Moses; Reubens, White and Cleveland.
