BUCKS DROP BOTH
. GAMES AND LOSE
SERIES TO BEARS

by dropping DONn the saturday dll
Sunday games. the Buckarooes lost
the series to the Walla Walla Bears
The saturday contest went for thir-
teen innings before the visitors could
win by a AS score; but yesterday
CARROTS benders were fearfully mas
sacred and the final score was 10 to 8
II was only the hardest kind OF
fortune that lost the extra inning af-
lair Saturday for the locals. Though
they were outhit, outpitched and out
batted, the Bears were not outlucked
and managed to squeeze in the win
ming run in that hoodoo thirteenth
when Berger dropped Harmon's fly
:after Childers had driven out two
Dagger.
Both teams took an opener in the
first and Pendleton took the lead in
the third when Robinson's three bag
ger and Wilson's single netted run.
However, the Bruins forced three
across in the sixth, a pass, sacrifice,
an error and two hard hits doing the
deed.
In the eighth and with two down
and the weak end of the batting order
up, Pendleton sent the grandstand in
an uproar by tying up the game.
Loden was safe on Childers' error,
Augustus drew four wide ones and
Berger delivered scratch single
which filled the bases. Kelley was
nervous and with his first ball struck
Garrett, forcing in a run. Thereupon,
Osborne came to his own rescue by
batting a hard one through the pitch
er's box and sending Augustus across.
Walla Walia went down in one,
two, three order for the next three
innings, while Pendleton put men on
bases in each, but could not force
them across. In the twelfth. Augustus,
first ND, delivered a two bagger and
landed on third on an infield out.
Then, after Garrett had whitfield. and
with Osborne at bat, Augie made an
iatte nFpt to steal home. Kelly threw
wide and high to Brown and, when
Ibhe jumps called the runner out, the
BHckarooes protested loudly. MAIN
Ttaining that Brown only touched the
runner with his elbow. The decision
stood, however, and in the next in
ming the game was won by the
Bears. With two down, Childers poled
out a two sacker and, when Berger
dropped Harmon's high fly, he scored
for the winner.
Yesterday the visitors took cruel
revenge on Garrett for the four-hit
game he pitched against them on
Thursday. In two innings they landed
on him for twelve hits and eleven
runs but, without mitigating the
pitchers weakness in those two fatal
innings, it must be said that his out
'fielders gave about as poor an exhi
bition of how to get under flies as
could well be imagined. Almost ev-
erything hit out to them went for
hits, many of them for extra hases.
Nadeau and Pembroke, the two hard
est hitters on the team, had been
out of the Saturday game and their
absence had been so sorely missed
that they were prevailed upon to go
an yesterday, but both showed that
their illness had affected their form.
Up until the fourth, the game was
"a good one, the score being Ii. In
the fourth an error by Robinson
Leonard and Childers, three bagger
by Thompson and singles by Brown,
Childers and Davis completed the dis
aster, six runners registering.
In the fifth. the Bears commenced
where they left off in the fourth, six
bits being secured for five runs. Au-
gustus was brought in from short
TO relieve his manager in the sixth
and pitched shut-out ball for the final
four innings, much to the delight of
the fans.
Pendleton took couple of more
in the sixth, two hits and an error
being responsible, but thereafter
Leonard worked easily and never
gave them more than a chance.
On account of an attack of neu-
Ealgia of the heart Umpire Golden
%Vas unable to officiate yesterday and
one pitcher from each team, Berger
for PendletOn. and Kelly for Walla
Walla, alternated with the indicator
and on the bases. Both gave entire !
satisfaction. not one decision being
disputed during the nine innings
