Baseball Dope
For Local Fans

The first regular game for the
1914 season for the Parma high
was played on the local grounds
Saturday, Nampa being the con
tending faction.
1t looked as though the recent
"joiner" of the Boise high from
Nampa had had an understudy
in Cushman, as he allowed Pat
Stockton's team but three hits,
on which Parma scored three
times. Jurries' work in the box,
though, was good, and his sup
port was encouraging, but the
locals, having had but little
practice, had an uphill fight, be-
ing against a team of seasoned
veterans. He struck out seven,
and the Nampa understudy sent
eleven batsmen back to the bench.
Parma made a good showing in
deed for what might be called
the initial game. The score was
Z to 3 in Nampa's lavor.
The next game has not been
announced.

sufficient funds were available,
which he hoped would be ere

@. off. Shut Our.

Unsportsmanlike ethics over
ruled common deeency aud fair
ness in interscholastic baseball
on the part of Coach Mitchell cf
the Boise High in the game last
Thursday between the College of
Idaho and the High School of
Boise.
After two games in the series
had been played, each team win
ing one, and by the same score,
Mitchell wasn't sport enough to
take a chance on his really ex-
cellent team. He sensed defeat
with Alexander in the box for the
college, and the thought of los
ing the rubber was too much for
his weak stomach, so he resorted
to guerilla tactics which would
even shame Huerta, Villa, or
Governor west.
Joyner, young man, pitching
for the Nampa High, and twirl-
ing class A ball, had played in
a game Wednesday against Mid
dletoD, defeating them easily.
After that game, it is said, and
apparent facts will hardly war
rant contradiction, he was ap-
preached by the Mitchell person
and induced TO enroll with the
Boise High and pitch in Thurs
days game. He shut out the
College, in a score of 3 TO ..
The Boise team, in itself. is not
given any opprobrium in this
matter, as the coach is absolute
as to the personnel of the team.
The faculty OF the school, though,
is equally culpable with Mitchell
in permitting Joiner to play be-
fore he had had a recitation.
Mere enrolment is insufficient for
any person tn qualify III school
athletics Had the score been
reversed the ethics would have
been the same, and the glory OF
the college would not have been
heightened by defeating such a
palpable frameup.
1t may be, though, that Boise
considers that school in "a class
by itself, and i'll that case should
be forced to the exclusiveness it
merits. If all schools with fair.
ness for a motto should exclude
Boise High from participation IN
their games the meaning OF the
words 'pariah" and "ostraclse'
would be significant.

and most enthusiastic boosting
demonstration ever held in the

gathering. and upward of five
hundred packed the ball to the
limit and listened to a number of

merits of the proposition, and it
is said that there wasn't a pessi-
mist in the bunch.
Those who were present from
Parma were Messrs Kerrick, n.
&. Baldridge, Blackwell, Tanner,
E . Dickerson. Mundle, Eddy,
Watson and Bruce Giffin.
The principal speakers of tie
evening were j. NJ Thompson and
Walter Griffiths of Caldwell, and
H. G. Baldridge of Parma. Mr..
Thompson, who attended as a
delegate, with W. B. Mitchell, OF
this place, the conference at Den-
yer, gave a comprehensive out
line of the proceedings.
He mentioned the night letter,
which was sent from New Ply
mouth on the night OF the meet
ing there two weeks ago, urging
that action be taken on the
Black Canyon project. The let
ter Was read before the confer.
ence, and at its conclusion Mr..
Thompson was granted the floor.
In his opening remarks he excit-

speech was suspended, and be

THE O-AEROPLANE
AT VERA CRUZ, MEXICO

Capt. Washington l. Chambers, U.
s. NJ, in lecture to the members
of the University club of Washing
ton, stated that the hydro-aeroplanes
had proved their usefulness in mill
tary operations around Vera Cruz and
elsewhere. Particularly had they
shown their value in ascertaining
whether or not harbors we're mined.
The captain stated that not only Is
it possible TO see mines plainly, but
they can be easily photographed from
the aeroplane. Recently, mines were
planted on the Pacific coast and the
commander of the Pacific fleet was
notified TO that effect. The aeroplanes
were sent out to search for them, the
aeronauts having no information as
to the vicinity in which they could
be found. Nevertheless, they had no
difficulty in locating the mines.
