FAN FODDER

Another one won.
! By winning yesterdays game, Pen
dleton climbed up to the 500 rung of
the ladder
Berger was his old self again and
nobody asks for anything better.
When he's right, he's great and we
would rather have him right than
president.
Glmlin's new southpaw shared the
fate of those who went before him,
but If Dad keeps him, it's a good bet
that he won't always be charged with
defeat. He has some good stuff in
his crooked arm.
With all of her four straight de-
feats, Boise has a good team and.
when the players get to working to-
gether, it will be a harder matter to
lift her scalp.
Why is it that everybody laughs
when the umpire gets hit by a foul
yesterday that made him dance with
the pain of it and the crowd took it
as a choice bit of comedy. The fans
should bear in mind that though an
umpire is by nature q robber and a
pirate he is still an animal being
possessed of the customary five
senses.
incidentally it might be remarked
that neither the Pendleton nor Boise
team has a whole lot of which to
complain in the matter of the umpire
and his decisions. He has undoubt-
edly been off on a few plays but he
appears to be a Woodworking and
conscientious and, if he never made
mistakes, he would be drawing pay
checks from the major leagues.

of the fans when he got three strike
