BUCKAROOES WIN
FROM N. YAKIMA
Initial Game of Administration of Al
Lodell Ends in Al Victory for
PendletOn.

Though he had brt a crippled team
to put in the field AL Lodell. the new
klngpin Buckaroo. succeeded in scor-
ing to l win in the initial game
of his administration. His men gave
him the best services in their ability
and they won the game from the hard
hitting Yakima tribe on merit.
McKune departure left a vacan-
cy at the third bag and Catcher King
was put at the station, Haworth going
in behind the bat. Reid was incapac-
itated through a broken rib sustained
several days ago in sliding and Lodell
was forced to put two pitchers, Ber-
ger and Osborne. in the outfied. And
these men, out of place though they
were. had a considerable bearing on
the fortunes of the play
Peet, the tall pine sorrel-top, was
on the mound for the Bucks and for
one he was given the backing that
was his due. Peet can always be re-
lied upon to keep the opposing score
down but in many games his team
mates have been unable to make runs
behind him. Yesterday, though, by
punching hits in two innings off Kile
and by taking advantage of a couple
of errors they We're able to register
| a quartet. Kile twirled good ball
save in the second and seventh when
hits were punched.
Outside of the pitching department
there were three distinct features of
the contest, to-wit, the triple play
started by Lodell and which pulled
Peet out of bad hole, Berger's un-
| assisted double and Netzels theft of
the home plate for the Yaks' only
marker.
This last play came in the second
inning. Netzel had singled through
the box and Growers laid down a neat
bunt which was so placed that it
went for a hit. putin two on with
| none down. Stoke sacrificed them
on and thereupon Peet struck out
Harrod. With Taylor all but struck
out. Netzel who was on third. and
who had been chasing up and down
the path with every delivery. made
dash for the plate on Peet's windup
Peet shot the ball to Haworth who
slapped it on the runners body but
Umps Jimmie called him safe, ruling
that Netzel's feet hit the pan before
| he was tagged. 1t was a close play
and the fans were inclined to dispute
the decision. ..
Pendleton took the lead in the
third. With one down, Growers threw
the ball away, putting Augustus on

ton shot one across the second base

passed third on the play and when
Fuller threw to Harrod he beat it for
the plate for the tying score. Lodell,
| himself. scored the run which put
his team in the lead. He smote the
pellet a healthy clout to left field and
Naughton tailed just moment be-
fore Lodell was thrown out at sec

In the fourth a triple play pulled
Peet out of a bad hole. Netzel and
Growers had got on second and first
| just as they had in the second. with
hit through pitcher and bunt that
| went for a hit. Stoke sent a liner
past first but Lodell speared the pill
| threw it to Augustus at second, dou-
bling Netzel and the little shortstop
relayed it back to Naughton who
had covered first, in time to triple
! Growers. .
Pendleton's two pitchers, playing
outfield, started things in the seventh.
With one down, Berger singled be-
tween third and short, Osborne fol-
| lowed with a two base clout to left
and Berger rounded second and third
and steamed on toward home. The
ball was relayed perfectly to Taylor
and Berger would have been caught
out had he not knocked the ball from
the catcher's hands in sliding. Os-
borne scored when King followed with
a two base hit which took the same
course as did the preceding one
Yakima got q man to third in the
fifth but he was held there and after
that the Braves never got within scor-
ing distance.
