RIOTERS GET BUSY

Half hundred loyal fans last Sun
day came near turning almost certain
defeat into victory for the Pullman
Boosters when, in the ninth inning,
with the score to 8 against the
locals, they marched from the grand
stand to the side of the field and pro-
ceeded to make life a misery for the
Moscow slab artist. That worthy
could not stand the strain of the din
and proceeded to blow up" allow
ing three locals to cross the pan be-
fore he was derricked to make room
for pitcher who was not so easily
Influenced by the bowling rooters.
That is the spirit that wins games,
and little more of it will put the
boosters nearer the top of the per-
centage column.
