Three-B League Standing.

With a golden smile nine innings
long that radiated in every direction,
particularly toward the players
bench of the opposing team. Lefty
Bowen pitching for the Downey farm
ers captured the honors Sunday after
noon and won from our derelict ball
team IL to l. Our sluggers secumbed
to his mystic slants as mist before the
MONDAY sun. Could Marriott have
held him when he let himself out fans
would have seen the best exhibition of
masterful box work ever given In Am
erican Falls. Marriott missed his
partners offerings as far as our bat
ters and left men to first base several
times when they should have been re-
tired at the plate on a caught third
strike. divers wiley shoots resemb-
led the offerings of an automatic fling
er and they were taped to left, center,
right and through the infield for sing
les, doubles and triples about az reg
ularly as they would have been i'm an
automatic baseball game. The corn
ers were populated every inning and
the assault on the score book reached
its climax In the good old seventh
when eleven happy visitors batted
around and quit the inning with five
runs and six safe bingles.
With American Falls grief reigned
supreme. No one has thoroughly dag
nosed the case yet but eneral opinion
is that 1t was a clear case of nobody
home" Two hits off Bowen, six errors
In the field, cratic base running and a

field throughout the game ase we'll as
on the bench served to make the
most striking comedy of errors aver
seen here. The fact that nobody
laughed doesn't detract from the COM
edy OF the situation. Our optomistic
manager and his assistants were out
gathering money Monday with perfect
assurance hat we will have a real ball
team sometime and perhaps we will.
The merchants are giving literally to
the teams support and American Falls
should be represented by enough ball
players to make the game interesting.
Pitcher Bowen had been beaten twice
by Pocatello teams and Is not unbeat-
able even in this league. Two or three
good ballplayers with old heads would
have turned the trick Sunday or made
the game interesting. American Falls
lost a good fielder Sunday when Blair
signed with the Downey club to do
their catching. He Is a hard worker,
hits the ball well against ordinary
pitchers and is blessed with the
element OF luck as no other player
seems to be. Az receiver for Bowen
to work to get away with II. Paul
he will have a mans job and will have
Evans, who has been playing at the
third station all season may leave for
his fathers ranch when school is out
and Manager Jacobs will have another
station TO fill.
r. (Reinhold) Temple pulled the
classic feature play Of the afternoon
in the ninth inning "'hen he grabbed a
long fly into left center after a hard
sprint and pegged true TO James TO
catch Harwood trying TO score on the
-hrow-in. Harwood was out by sever
al feet.
American Falls was presented with
It's lonesome score In the ninth inning
when Blair. first up, was safe on a
passed ball, walked to second, stole
third and went home when Marriott
threw TO third base to catch him steal
ing and Jones failed to owe the bag.
The score:
