.M'GARR|GLE CUTS NOTCH IN HIS
GUNSTOCK; WINS 1ST LEAGUE GAME

his debut in professional baseball yes ,
terday and celebrated the commence
ment of his diamond career by fore
ing Boise TO swallow a second quinine
pellet. At that he was pitted against
the redoubtable southpaw, Bridger,
who last year helped win pennant
for the Walla Walla Bears. The
score, it might be said in passing,
was Pendleton IL and Boise 4, almost
repetition of the opening affair.
For four innings, the fans were
treated to a real ball game. Both
pitchers were going fine and their
support was nothing to kick about
But when the Buckarooes changed
their batting tactics and commenced
dumping dinky bunts, the infield be-
came demoralized and the balloon
went soaring toward the distant az
ure. And then by way of showing
that they could clout as we'll as bunt,
those Bucks jumped on to Mr.. Bridg-
er's benders in the eighth and simply
bated them until their master didn't
recognize them.
Acting upon the advice of McKune,
McGarrigle took a little of his stuff
off of the ball in the final innings and
the visitors were permitted to gather
enough hits to swell their run column
by three.
In Justice to the Boise team it
must be said that the loss of Blaus-
ser demoralized the infield to some
extent, though Case played a nice
game.
McKune's men began their march
in the initial frame through no fault
of Bridger. Dougherty got life when
Aftermath threw the ball a fathom
over Clark's head and took second
on the same play. Berger's infield
out put him to third to where the
squeeze signal was flashed to him
He beat it for the pan and worked
his feet fast enough so that 1t wasn't
necessary for RAIDER to hit the ball
He had home base stolen neatly.
Frise made it one and one in the
third. Gard hit safely, was sacrific-
ed to third by Bridger, who was safe
at first when Bladen over-threw the
bag. Hcrever. the latter atoned fol
his error moment later when his
pretty peg t. second broke up dou-
BILE steal and caught the southpaw by
wide margin. Chapman hit to Nc
Garrigle, who caught Gard as he was
hotfooting it to the platter. Chap
man made second on the play and
was brought home when Reams put
nice single into left field.
Pendleton was retired in one, two
three order in the third and. Boise
| Jared not much better in the fourth
McKune started things. However, in
the last Of this canto when he got life
| Lodell laid down a bunt and beat Il
out by virtue of a confusion in the
Boise infield. Bladen also dumped
a little one to Bridger, who tried tc
catch McKune at third but failed
Bases full, nobody down. Augustus
hit the ball down the third base lint
but Case returned 1t in time to fore,
Terry out at the plate. A momen
later, while McGarrigle was striking
out, Lodell was permitted to hobbl,
homeward when a wild pitch wa!
turned loose. Dougherty's popup t
Reames retired the side without fur
ther scoring
The real aviation meet came in tn,
L
and the bases full, Bladen shot tn
bail down the first base line, driving
in two runs. A double steal wa
started but Lodell would have beel
out at home had not the horseshoe
in his hip pocket knocked the bal
from the catcher's hand. The fourtl
score of the inning came when Au
gustus scratched a hit over the secon,
base bag.
With one down in the seventh, Gin
lin smashed out a two sacker an,

suit a moment later. Pendleton ais
u took another in this canto when Bla
: den's single was followed by a home
from the bat of Augustus. However
4 the homer itself didn't count for Au
: gle cut the third base bag and tn
jumps saw the act.
With a couple of men down in tn
eighth, McKune instructed his pitch

" that he issued a pass to Aftermath

. Friene to send both men to the plat
by hit that went for three bags be
II cause the rough outfield made tn

! The details of the Pendleton hal
;, of the eighth would only make Bridg
@ er feel badly for he walked one mai
q and allowed five hits in that frame
: A bunt hit by Dougherty, singles b
a Berger and Bladen and doubles b
McKune and Lodell enabled five NOR
runners to amble across, thus max
