.SElAA. WINS FROM
LOCAL MOOSE TEAM
Cut Out the Frightful Third In
ming the Result Might Have
Been Different

The game of baseball at Sumacl
park last Sunday afternoon between
the team from Selah and North Yak
ina Moose went to the visitors by
the score of II to g. 1t was an in
teresting game to watch, and would
only have taken q lighted match
thrown into the powder car
In the ninth inning on the part OF
the Moose boys, to the extent of two
or three safe hits to have turned the
tables on Selah. But the hits were
not Forthcoming SO the home boys
were compelled to book losing.
1t was peculiar game in many re-
spccts. Selah had the services OF
Franks and Rochester, who. have
been the battery during the season
for the North Yakima Cubs, and In
addition were fortunate enough to
pick up another good one in the per-
son Of Gingrass, who played short
stop here with the Navy team from
Bremerton earlier in the season.
Selah was unable to score in the
first two innings, being retired with
out hit.
the Moose in the early part Of the
game In the first inning they made
two runs Ralstead took base on
balls. Dillon singled, going to second
on the THROWN, while Ralstead went
to third. Weiland and c. Mitchell
struck out, but Atkinson landed for
single, scoring the two men on the
bases. Those were all for the inning,
as Mellis went, Gingrass to L. Tyrrell.
The good work was kept up in the
second inning. G. Mitchell went out
on a fly to Gingrass. Higdon made
double. Olds was safe on error by
Gingrass, Higdon taking third, from
which point he scored on error by
Slaughter.
In the first half of the third in
ming almost everything happened that
could happen in one stanza. UP to
that time the Selah boys had not been
able to score, but oh, what a
slaughter there was. Fourteen of the
Selah boys went to bat, four safe hits
being made, Franks getting single
to start with and triple, his second
time up In the inning, L. Tyrrell sin
gle and Gingrass double. Mellis
walked two men, Armstrong got a
sacrifice and the Selah player helped
matters along by making seven errors,
some in a row and some detached.
The combination of hits, passes bases
on balls, the sacrifice and the errors,
resulted in Selah piling up RIMS, and
after that were never headed.
The Moose made one run in the
sixth and two in the eighth, for a
total of six.
Selah scored two more runs in the
fifth, bringing their total to IL, after
which it could not locate the home
base
Things got interesting In the last
half of the ninth inning for few
brief minutes. Dillon led soff with a
safe hit and took second when We'll
and drew a base on balls. In this
inning Rochester had gone to first
and L. Tyrrell was behind the bat.
Here. Is where the funny play of the
afternoon took place. C. Mitchell
hunted toward first base, Franks and
Rochester going after the ball. Franks
reached it first and made nice pick
up. Rochester ran up close and stood
watching Franks pick up the ball like
cat watching a mouse. Franks
made a move to throw to first to
catch C. Mitchell, but Rochester was
25 feet away from the bag. He then
made a move to throw to second, but
saw that he was too late, ditto to
third. He concluded to hold the ball.
