to meet and conquer the Chicago
Giants who are billed to appear at
Lewiston on April 16. Breezy Short
and COMFY Mac. supposed to repre-
sent the views of this community on
the subject, writing under a Grange
vile head, change the Lewiston line
up some by adding Karr, LANCE,
Chiesman and Litchfield to the all
star list of diamond artists. The
communication follows:
Here's an all-star team, selected
from resident players who have ap-
peared in games in Cottonwood
Grangeville, Lewiston, Reubens and
other towns of the Prairie league.
which, we think, comprises the cream
of talent from this section and which
should upon merit be named to com.
pete with the Chicago Giants in the
game at Lewiston on April 16:
Hayes, catcher.
Bonner, pitcher.
Fred LANCE, first base.
Lundstrum, second base.
Karr, shortstop.
Chiesman, third base.
Branscombe, left field.
Htchfield, centerfield
Mcmillan, right field.
We have selected this team solely
upon merit, without regard to section
alism or personal prejudice. Hayes,
by virtue of his work during the past
two seasons in particular, earns the
backstop position. He is fast, ag-
gressive and sure in both batting and
fielding. We select "Bigal" Bonner
because of his experience in the big
leagues and because of his we'll
known prowess. Bonner has it on all
other pitchers in these parts undoubt-
eddy and Is our one best bet to put a
crimp In the hope of the Giants. Fred
Lange is the best "old head" in the
circuit when one considers his all
around ability and his resourcefulness
and knowledge of the game. At sec
ond, Fritz Lundstrum has the call
over all the other infielders in the
league. This, we think, would be
practically the unanimous choice of
all the fans who have. ever seen him
In action. Karr, while a pitcher, Is
nevertheless one of the surest, fast
est fielders in the panhandle and his
hitting and throwing ability cannot be
questioned. Chiesman on third, is
supreme over a horde of good men by
his all-around ability We regard
Chiesman as perhaps the most valu-
able man to his team in the league,
considering the games played in this
league in 1913. He is lightning fast
both In the field and on the paths
and has whole tubful of baseball
brains. He had the critical game at
Cottonwood on July stored away in
his vest pocet along with his Inger-
soil, but they wouldn't get out of his
way and let him win it. But that is
ancient history. In the outer gard
Tor In the league. Young, fast and
certain, close student of the game
In all its departments and a player
VINO can be depended upon in the
pinches, there's no way to take that
position away from him. Litchfield
IN center covers more ground than
chinook wind and he covers it, too.
Here LIS big league material las any
one who ever saw him perform will
attest. Mcmillan in right field adds
materially to the smuggling strength
Oh the organization and will care for
anything that comes into his territory.
These selections include what we
consider the best available material.
We do not trouble to name substitut-
es but there is no end of good men
at hand-players who could doubtless
Jump in and fill up a gap without any
break In the teams work as a whole.
Framing up the batting order,
branscombe ought to be lead-off hit
Ter, to be followed in turn by Litch-
Held and Lundstrum Hayes could
clean up the sacks with Mcmillan to
boost him around the circuit. Comes
along Karr practically sure to hit,
with LANCE and Chiesman liewise in
the order named, followed by Bonner,
VINO, by the way, is some hitter him
SELF. Look up his record with the
Boise club last year.
Come on fans with your selections;
us innocent sport and harmless and
most likely the ordinary tired bust
ness man and the honest tiller of the
SOIL, the tradesman or the mechanic

a single ".I should bibble," anyhow.
