ALFALFA FORKS

The introduction three
years ago in this section by
the Hawkins hardware store
of the Keen Kutter Alfalfa
and Hay Fork marked a big
step forward in the improve
ment of that tool. The mer-
its of this fork were at once
recognized and the sale has
been very large. It's quail
ties are especially appreci-
ated in handling alfalfa, as
the peculiar construction of
the tines permits no hay to
hang on the fork. 1t is a
time saver and a labor saw
er. If you haven't already
used it, call at our store and
we will take pleasure in
demonstrating its advan-
tages. We know you will
like it, and after having
used it will use no other.
We have other kinds of
hay forks if you prefer
them.

MOOSE DEFEAT NAMPA
Heavy Hitting Were Features of EN-
NETS PLAYING


mett's Playing
The Moose team took Nampa into
camp Sunday in a hard fought bat.
tie. Score 6 to A. Batteries: Nampa
Joyner, Nockleby and Rivett; Emmett
Wells and Carter.
Emmett scored in the first inning
through a pass and two successive
hits. There was nothing doing in
the second inning for either team,
but in the third Emmett got man on
second and Carter hit over the CEN
ter field fence for home run, scor-
ing the runner ahead of him. 1t was
one of the longest drives ever made
on the Nampa field and brought forth
a round of cheers for the batter. The
fourth and fifth were quiet as far
as Emmett was concerned, but in
the sixth Carter dropped the ball over
the left field fence for two bases and
Mcmillan hit over the same place for
two bases, scoring the runner. EN-
NETT annexed two more scores dur
ing the remainder of the game to
make victory sure Joyner was wild
at the beginning of the game and when
he put it in 'the grove, Emmett's bat
ters hit him hard. He retired in the
fourth in favor Of Nockelby, the lat
ter using his splitter, mixed with
speed, to good advantage.
For Emmett, Wells pitched a |
steady game getting out of bad hole
in the seventh when through pass,
hit and an error with one out, Nampa |
filled the bases. He steadied down
and struck out the remaining two bats
men, using his terrific speed to great
advantage. Behind him, the Emmett
team worked well, only one error be-
ing chalked up against them, and
there is some question as to whether
or not the batter should have been
credited with hit as the ball was
almost too fast to field.
Nampa plays a return game here
Sunday, June 7, and will bring a good
team to wipe out the defeat of last
Sunday.
