The base BAH tournament during the
Horse show is what might be called a
decided success Not a really OPP sided
game was played during the contest
but all the teams put up good exhi-
bition of the national game, and the
spectators generally conceded that they
We're given their moneys worth In
every instance. Nez Perce, ttonwood
kamiah and Grangeville furnished the
competing teams.
Cottonwood, s; Nezperce, 4.
Nezperce and Cottonwood were match
ed In the first days exhibition, which
was won by the latter in a hotly con-
tested game of to 4. Rustemeyer and
McCabe did the team work for the
winners and Strickner and Wade for
the Lewis county bunch. 1t looked
pretty cloudy for the Cottontowners all
during the first part of the game, but
they got their second wind along near
the middle of the heat. and whipped up
to winning finish.
kamiah, d; GrangevIIle, I.
Grangeville was most magnanimous to
the visitors, and passed the honros and
the bulk of the gate receipts over on
the second day to the Redmen by
score of 4 to 1. thus putting the latter
in line for the saw-off with Cottonwood
on Sunday. Not speaking disparagipg
ly of the prowess of the native sons'
who are good ballists beyond doubt 1t
cannot be questioned that they played
In better luck than the locals. things

time. Mccoy Hin, the old slab artist
of many summers experience, officiat-

attempt. while Homer pitched heady

In the "saw-off game Sunday, in
which the victors in the first two days
contests were called upon to balance
accounts and settle the championship,
Cottonwood lined up with Rustemeyer In
the box and McCabe at the rear post,
the same as In the first game; while
| kamiah put Morris on the mound in
stead of Mccoy Hill Right there Is
where the aboriginees went wrong and
| passed the game over to their white
brethren. The westsiders proceeded to
| swat Morris from the word "go" and
continued to play the same game until
he was taken out after the second inn
| ing, at which time they had laid up
two of the three scores which stood to
their credit at the end of the game.
Mccoy was called to the rescue in the
beginning of the third inning, and re-
sponded with such heartiness that the
opponents were only able to fitch one
score from him in the remaining seven
innings, while the reds circled the world
| twice. The claim that the Indians are
ready to give up when they get in the
rear did not prove true in this instance
for they continued to play ball through
to the close of the heat. Cottonwood
played steady and consistent ball thru
out the game.
Gaddes did the umpiring throughout
the series; while VanDeventer and Fish
er took turns at scoring.
Craneevie to Cottonwood Sunday.
Grangevile will journey to Cotton
wood next Sunday to try conclusions
with the now champions of the prairie
Just what the line up viii be is not yet
determined upon, as Shinkle has a bun
arm and Mcdonald is not here.
