JUST CAN'T WIN.
Local Ball Team Unable to Play
a Winning Game.

The ball game of July 4th was
poor affair The visiting team
from Pocatello are good clean
bunch of ball players but should not
at any time win from the local ag-
gregation. but nevertheless they
did it easy. There is some
thing wrong with the arrangement c
the local team. Some of the players
say Manager Jacobs, is the hoodoo
and should not be allowed upon the
grounds and then again Mr.. Jacobs
says he can pick out the hoodoo
among the players and will ask then
to play in the grand stand next
time The game closed at the end
OF the ninth inning with the visi-
tors winning with score of to ..
The game should havebeen a vic
tory for the Falls team by 2-3
score, if some Of the bobble plays
had been ommitted
Oliver did the pitching for the
locals and was at his best, but that
support, it was certainly punk. The
boys seem to be so used to having
the game won by Oliverthrough his
work in the box that If two or
three men get on bases they real
ly seem to be at q loss just what to
do, this was the case in the Thurs
day game.
To take the game as it was play
ell we find Pocatello scored three in
the fourth inning. The first man
up took the first sack on a scratch
hit; and the second made a clean
hit advancing his fellow player to
second; then the third man hit
into the diamond which was rapid
ly fielded for a double with plen-
ty of time to catch the man advanc-
ing to third and be returned to
first, but Wallace on third dropped
the ball giving his man safe sack
and filling the bases; the next man
cleaned the bases on a three Dagger
bringing in three scores instead of
one. Again in the eigth four runs

bounce out of his hand which would
have retired the side before the last
two scores came in.
The local team can put up good
game of ball for young men at the
business, and there should not per
haps be too much censure when
hey have an off day such as they
had at this game, but there is a
feeling that these errors, or most of
them were caused through the de-
sire to play to the grand stand in
stead of to the players.

in the shaping of policies.
In the settlement of these
questions the democrats are not in
yolved in the primary election. Their
ticket has beer, made up SO as

So many of them will thus vote as
to take away from the republicans

to name their own standard bearers.
Fight, however. because two of the
three natural divisions of the
county are vitally interested in the
county division and the other
opposed. Each of these three section
has a canidate for state senator, and
the hardest fight will be made for
this position. The democrats have no

Danger Ahead

have called the attention of the
Press to the extent of Jim Hill
mustard and Russian Thistle along
some of the roads and in some of
the fields near town. These plants
threaten a danger that few can
appreciate. When Jim Hill mustard
gets a foothold in a field it is
more difficult and expensive to get
rid of than sagebrush. No machine
will harvest a field of grain where
mustrad is thick, and the crop mus
be last Then the problem of killing
the mustard has to b met. Many
fields in Washington have been a
bondoned for this same reason. Thel q
Is law dealing with matter and il
