Milton Players Make Many Errors.
Athena, Ore, April 30.-Frink,
pitching for Athena, showed the MIL
-Freewater team and its fans how
he could hand out a no-hit and no.
run game to them. Had 1t not
been for three errors on the Millers
not a Milton player would have
reached first, but three men got
there and only one of them got
look at second. Niles, playing for
Milton, tried to steal. but he was too
fat and too slow and Poland on sec
ond caught him Is feet away from the
bag The Millers tapped Halgarth al
most at will and Brown got three
base hit besides Poland and Picard
both hit a two-bagger. Five scores
was the most made at any one inning
and nine hits was all that Athena got
off of Halgarth. In regard to errors,
they should not be mentioned for it
is a shame to tell how many Milton
made and the Millers made three. 1t
seemed that every time Milton got
hold of the ball and started to throw
1t in a hurry they would toss the ball
wild and somebody woul steal two
bases or someone would score.
The story of the game is something
like this.
Milton's first man struck out Res
er put a hard bee-liner over Clarks
head and the little fellow on first
made high jump and caught 1t
with one hand. Milton again struck
out.
Owens started things off in his usu-
al way by getting a hit right over
third; was advanced to second by
Clark on a bunt and Clarke beat out
his bunt. Frink put a little fly to
the pitcher and Clark was cought off
of first. Poland was put out on
grounder to the pitcher.
This inning is short and sweet
three men struck out and Athena
again came to the BAT.
| Picard put a fast one to the pitch
er, who only touched it and second
failed to recover the detracted ball
| in time to put the runner out. Pr
card advanced to second on sacri-
! flee by Lieuallen. Bundy hit a fly
to first and Picard stole third and
made home on a bad throw to third
by first
Brown closed the inning by strik-
ing out.
Storm for Milton put fly into Pei
lands hands; Darling hit another to
Owens and the next man struck out,
| thus closing the first of the third.

toms one armed man in left field and
! was caught out. Owens went to first
on a fumbled grounder at third and
he then stole second. Clarke failed
I to beat out a missed third strike. but
] Owens stole third. Frink beat out a
slow grounder to third and Owens
scored on the same deal and Frink
proceeded to second on a bad throw
to the pitcher by the first basemar
Poland struck out.
! With a grounder to first, one to
: second and then one to first again,
Milton finished up their part of an
other inning.
Picard got to first on the third
strike, 1t being a low ball, and was
advanced to second by a sacrifice hit
of Lieuallen. Bundy struck out and
Picard stole third. Brown got a hit
out back of first which scored Pi-
card. Depeatt famed.
With strikeout and two grounders
to Poland on second, Milton again
failed to reach first.
owens made first on an error of
the shortstop and failed to reach Sec
ond on grounder of Clarkes, but
Clarke made 1t safe. He reached Sec
ond on Frink's grounder and Frink
made safe by an error. Clarke stole
third and then home on a passed ball
| by pitcher and some bonehead throw
ing by Darling. Frink made second
on the same errors and went to third
on hit by Pelland. but he was
| caught between third and home in
| an effort to steal home when PICARD
hit one on the ground and beat it out.
| He promptly went to second on a
passed ball but died there as Lieu

Storm on second.
Storm struck out. Darling did the
| same. but Brown dropped the third
strike and Clarke duplicated the
play on first, so Darling reached the
| first bag, and it was the first bag
| Milton had seen. We heard that he
was to receive leather medal for be-
ing the first man to get to that first
base. Darling should have two med
ais coming for he got to second on
a sacrifice hit. Then the next man
| struck out, thus making three OF
them and the first of the sixth was
over
Bundy hit one over short, was ad-
vanced to third by hit by Brown be-
tween first and second. Depeatt was
| retired by grounder to pitcher
Owens made 1t to third all right on
the same error and got home on an
other passed ball by Darling. Clarke
got first on an error on third: Frink
was retired on a grounder and Clarke
stole second. Poland was walked to
first and scored on a two base hit by
Picar. Lieuallen was put out on an
| other grounder. Five scores was
enough for one time. Fink really
got two base hit but his jumps did
not see it that way and called the
