Cottonwood won from Grangeville
hst Sunday by a 2 to 0 score in one
Of the prettiest games ever played on
on the Prairie, and the winning was
done absolutely on fluke plays, where
fortune broke in favor of Cottonwood
end against the home boys. For in
stance, a base runner to second runs
into line ball thrown from catcher
to the baseman and defects it into
the field, and let's in a score. Again,
Fred Lange makes a wild and frantic
stab at two hard hits which the old
veteran frankly admits under any
thing but the greatest of luck, would
have been safe, and one of them a
twobagger. and knocks them down,
and with continued good luck, gets
bis man each time. This, by the
way, is not offered in a spirit of
criticiam Of the opposing team; they
played ball right down to the ground,
and the friendly feeling which per
vaded both teams was good to see;
but the fact is luck has been break
Ing against the home boys all season,
and 1t is certainly due them that
these facts be stated.
Grangeville boarded the special
train Sunday with the band, the ball
team, the "Whippowil Glee Club"
