Walla Walla Wash, June S.-The
Bears made it four out of six in the
series with La Grande on the local lot
yesterday afternoon by winning from
the Pippins by score of 10 to 3. The
Bears put the game on the ice in the
third inning when they swatted Mcln-
mis- delivery for four singles and a
double, their hitfest netting them six
runs.
The contest was listless, both teams
hitting the ball hard and often. Pit
man. the local twirler, fared better
than his opponent. getting in several
tight holes but managig to pull him
self out with little damage.
The feature of the game was Forbes
one-handed catch of Martins liner

the fence at the time and pulled the
ball out OF the air with his gloveu
hand.
