DEFEAT WHITMAN
Rain Stops Game I'm seventh Inning
With Score Standing Four
to Three.

CARROTS Buckarooes hung another
amateur scalp at their belts yester-
day afternoon when Whitman col
lege's snappy team was given the
short end of 4-3 score. The game
was called in the seventh by Umpire
Nelson on account of old Jupe Pluv'S
dissatisfaction with the exhibition
The contest was not exactly the
best that has been pulled off in PEN
dleton in recent years but the flucta-
ton of the advantage was sufficient
to keep up interest when the charac-
ter of the play lapsed at odd instants
into No. variety. Hits were rather
scarce. but that fact was not suffi-
Client to keep the bases clean for
when errors did not turn the trick
the pitchers charitably issued passes
to the batters. In this latter act the
Whitman twirler was unusually be-
nlflcent and it was to his philan-
thropy rather than to a cannonade on
the part of the leaguers that the game
went the way it did. He permitted
eight batters to make a safe landing
on first by the four ball route, one by
the h p way and three via the safe
bingle.
Mountain opened up for the Buck
aroes and was touched up Il bit be-
fore he settled down. Osborne twirl-
ed the last two innings and the col
! legian suggers forfeited their title to
| the name before his bewidering speed
and slants.
The Walla Walla lads were first at
bat and their opening action made
the fans gulp hard for awhile. Hughes,
/ first up. put one down to short which
Augustus failed to get to first by a
scant foot in time to catch the run
ner. Gale then laid down a neat sac
rifice whereupon the hardhitting Niles
laid his bludgeon on the pill for three
clean bags. Peringer followed with a
corking single over second and the
second run was registered. Here
Mountain tightened up and after
catching Peringer off second, fanneo
| Rolstead and retired the side.
In their half the Buckarooes man
| aged to come back with one. With
the first two down, Lodell slammed
out a double and came home min
ute later when Nadeau's high fly was
! dropped through collision of Hughes
| and Meese.
Number two came in the second by
reason of base on balls, wild pitch
| and an error while the third canto
gave them the lead Two men had
l gone dead when Nadeau was issued q
pass and purloined second, from
which station Davolt brought him in
with a hot single. Mensor followed
with a single through short, but, with
two on, Pembroke failed to get the
ball past short.
The collegians evened up the
score in the fourth when PeringeI
made the circuit through the assist
ance of two errors and a wild pitch
but in their half of the inning it look
ed for a minute as if Garrett's men
were going to make a bunch. Three
men were put on bases by Captain
Cleman's wildness but a crossing oil
signals resulted in Augustus being
caught between third and home fol
the final out. In the fifth, however
they again took the lead when Davolt
was enabled to travel all four paths
by pass, passed ball, an error and
a sacrifice fly by Mensor.
At this juncture, the skies begar
to leak and, after another inning and
half, Umpire Nelson waved the
players off the field.
