The game Sunday proved to be one
of the most interesting games played
on the local diamond for some time.
Both teams having each won game,
and from the manner the players on
both teams showed up in practice, it
was quite evident that there would be
"somethin' doin'" when the game
commenced. The game was started
with Pocatello first at bat and scored
one in the initial inning, one in the
third and one the fifth. while the To-
cal men were unable to get runner
further around the second. In the
sixth the fun began. Pocatello start
ed something in their half. By hit

of the locals they counted three times
