ing Doctor Warmers batters fell on
Rustymer, the former Pendleton twirler
and turned back enough of his slants
to run in a quartet of scores. Again
in the seventh the angular Rusty Is
offerings were lambasted for four
more runs. That tells the story of
Grangeville's IS counters, all of which
were secured in those two innings. Cot
tonwood garnered three runs in the
third inning and another trio in the
fifth. All the rest of the way both
teams were blanked.

Grangeville and held the Cottonwood
sluggers to five scattered hits, with a

hits off Rusty, according to the official
scorebook. Many of these hits were
