We have won four and lost two; our
percentage to date is 667. Watch us
climb-in our percentage column!
Last sunday was o grand day for
baseball, and the product was grand
baseball game. Did you notice the box
score and see the cold factsa Our boys
made IL hits to Lewiston Is Ga two
to one record for safe clouts-while we
three. Some baseball, we must remark.

That unaccountable element-luck-
was against us. Newton was injured in
the early part of the game, but, plucky
boy as he is, he stuck to his post and
worked hard for victory. Smell also re-
ceived hard blow, but he, too, refused
to give up.
The twirling Of Hollistein was some
thing to be commended. Hollistein
went in with a perceptible bit of ner-
vousness, probably little stage fright,
as was also shown by others of his
teammates, realizing they were up
against pretty stiff proposition, and
the way he accredited himself is worthy
OF praise. His twirling would have
won, hands down, with any kind of an
even break in luck, but that lucky hit
in the eighth robbed him of victory.
The catching of Mcfarland for the
visitors WAS excellent, in fact, it was
a feature of the game, and largely re-
sponsible for their victory.
The visitors realized they had been
at baseball game, and while very
much elated over the result, felt they
had met worthy opponent in the
team of the Grangevilel bat busters.
Next Sunday Grangeville journeys to
Cottonwood to try conclusions with the
team of that city, on the latters' home
grounds. Let s all root, root, root for
the home boys, and as many go to cheer
them on to final victory by our pres
ence as can.
The local management has a game
booked for the 30th ON the home
grounds, Kamiah being the victim ON
that date. On the Sunday following,
Cottonwood comes to Grangeville for a
return game, and pattle royal for
supremacy on the diamond may be ex-
pected.
Pace, the crack third baseman re.
Gently secured from Spokane, will be
back for next Sundays game, and it

wearing Grangeville uniform for the
balance Of the season, for his work in
the one game he has played he clearly
demonstrates his ability to handle the
sphere.
Williams, twirler just signed up,
will be tried out and may be sent in
against the Cottonwood team in the
coming contest.
Ingram will be missed by his team
and the fans as well, for he has been a |
large factor in winning some of the
games recently played, as his trusty
cudgei served him well, and brought in
needed scores at opportune times; he
