Poyette Loses
to Ontario
Last Sunday At Ontario, Payette Met
One OF Her Worst Defeats OF Tho
Season. Ontario Won BY A Score
of Nine to Eight.

Last Sunday at Ontario witnessed
one of the biggest slugfests of the
season. Payette as well as Ontario
was hitting everything that came
across the plate. But, the Payette
team seemed to be out of luck in
placing their hits. Every time they
slugged the pill some one was camped
right under it ready to pluck it.
Had the boys played the same game
during the entire game that they play
ed after the first inning, the story
would have without doubt, been dit
ferent. In the first inning Payette
scored four runs and it looked as
though it was going to be a walk-a-
way, but when Ontario came to the
bat, that Illusion was badly shattered
Senner started the game and pitched
tc five men allowing three safe hits
and three men scored on errors. King
was brought in from right field and
two more safe hits and three mere
scores were made off him. Things
certainly looked sick and were not
helped in the next inning when Ontar-
10 scored another run In the third
inning Payette and Ontario beth scor-
ed In the fourth Payette made an
other score and in the fifth they scor-
ed two runs making the score even.
We now thought we had some
chance but Ontario scored another
run in the seventh inning. Harmon
came to bat and after having two
strikes called on him, got to first by
getting in the way of a pitched ball.
He stole second and reached third on
a bad peg to second, scoring on Dar-
nails single. Ontario was successful
in holding down Payette during the
last four innings.
Payette simply was playing in hard
luck Sunday. The Ontario bunch
had their hitting clothes ON and Pay
cite could not have gotten them with
a basket. Just what the outcome of
Sundays game with Weiser will be, s
we will not attempt to say. One
hing is certain, the Payette bunch
viii have to be up on their toes all
he time, for Weiser has been greatly |
One thing that should
De mentioned about last Sundays
game, is the two double-steals that
we're pulled off by Friene and Council
y in the first inning and by Friene
md Arrspiier in the fifth inning. n
