YAKIMA HELPLESS
IN SATURDAYS GAME
Local Pitchers Mystify Visitors and
Slug Pellet for Eleven
safe Hits.

! Before the mystic benders of Os-
/ borne and Garrett, the North Yakima
Cubs died in one, two. three order
Saturday and scored a blank in their
nine innings while the offerings of
their own twirlers were so much to
the liking of the Buckarooes that
| the ball was kept busy biting the
diamond dust or describing arcs in
the ozone, thereby enabling seven
| straight marks to be set opposite the
name of Pendleton. Victory was
never in doubt from the opening can
to for the visitors were helpless be-
fore the unconquerable combination
of great pitching and hard hitting.
! The game was a good exhibition of
the popular pastime despite the un-
evenness of the score. The Buckar-
ooes played errorless ball while the
| fast fielding bunch of Yakima only
drew one of the sad marks in spite of
the frequency with which they were
called upon TO handle the spheroid

away pleased, however goes the tide
o. victory.
Osborne and Garrett were in su-
perb fettle and their smoky slants
were unfathomable. Osborne twirled
the first five innings and during his
administration, nine Cubs breezed
and only four balls were batted into
the diamond. one going for the only
| hit secured by them. Garrett acted
as catapult for the final four fan
ming six men and allowing no safe
ones.
On the other hand. the Buckaroo
batters were not to be denied. In all
I the eight innings they welded the
] stick, only three of their number
died at the plate and the poor horse
/ hide was bruised painfully. With
/ two exceptions, every man of them
( scored in the hit column and the to-
tai number they garnered was
/ eleven. The feature of the game was
the heavy hitting of "Curley" Will
son. the clever backstop. Four times
at bat. ne drove out three sacker,
two doubles and a single and was di-
rectly responsible for four of the
/ scores.
