.COLFAX WINS WITH
SPOKANE ASSISTANCE
Pullman Boosters Lose Snappy 2-to-i
Game Against Colfax. "Spiked"
With Spokane League
Players

fIhyefS
With three Spokane league play
efs In her lineup, namely, Cochrane,
pitcher; Harmon, third base. and
Mctiale, center field, Colfax barely
nosed out a victory over the scrappy
Booster bunch on the city grounds
last Sunday, the final score being
to l in favor of the visitors. Coch-
rane was the mainstay of the Cofax
team, striking out II Boosters and
FIELDING his position nicely, but had
none the best of the argument over
one Norm Moss, on the slab for
the Boosters. Neither of the runs
chalked up for Cofax were earned.
and but for unfortunate errors on
the part of his team mates at critical
moments in the contest, Moss would
have won his game.
Considering the meagre practice
which they have had this season. the
Boosters played an almost phenom-
email game in the field, the four err
rors charged against them being for
the most part eXcusable, and with a
little more practice with the big
stick, it will take more than three
Spokane league players to capture
the big end of the score.
A large attendance marked the
first game of the season, large
number coming over from Colfax to
witness the contest, and every spec
tator got his moneys worth of good
baseball.
