BASE BALL

The Hood River base ball team gent
ly walloped the Stevenson team last
Sunday l2-2. Timely hitting was re-
sponsible for the large score piled up
by the local pellet athletes. Shields
and Wachter, the Stevenson Hi battery
were on duty and 1.-The Swede" was
touched up for 16 good hits. At the
sames time Stockton, the local mound
artist was landed on for six hits.
Frank Meyers the we'll known local
tonsorial artist took all the life out of
the Swede from Stevenson when he
pounded the pill over the left field
fence in the fourth inning with Baker
on ahead of him. Leroy Childs, of the
experiment station, who is covering
territory in center field this season,
showed up WELL Hale, Pape, Button
and Porter all off the high school team,
showed up well. Pape had an off day
at batting, but felded perfectly.
Hale got two hits and was given a
pass in five times up, and Porter and
Button each secured two bingles in
two times up. Kent started the game
at first base, but was benched after
making four costly errors. The bat
ting order was:
Hood River Childs, 8; Baker, a !;
Meyers, 8; Pape, 6; Hale, 5: Sexton, I !;
McCutcheon, 2; Kent, 8; Stockton, /.

Wachter, Childs, Baker 3, Meyers 2,
Pape, Hale 2. Porter 2, Button 2,
Stockton 2.
Charlie Hart, the speed and splitter
liend of the Heights team for the'past
three seasons, umpired the game last
Sunday. Hart didn't go out for base
ball this season. but is not 'has
been" by any means, as he showed all
kinds of speed while throwing the ball
around before the game.
In next Sundays game, probably
with the Hartman club, of Portland,
the entire infield, except pitcher and
first base, will be off the high school
team. AS they stand now it is Hale,
third base; Thomas, second; Capt.
Pape, short stop; Button, catcher. and
Porter, left field.
"Skinny" Baker, who had batting
average of 800 previous to the Sunday
game, batted 600 Sunday and fattened
up his average. Bill got three hits in
five times up.
The town team has lost two and won
two games so far this season. In the
opening game with The Dalles too
much new material was tried out and
resulted in loosing the game 8-2. In
the second game played with White
Salmon Capt. Baker tried out a rube
catcher, who was responsible for the
loss of the game 81. The team
pounded the ball all over the sage
brush at Dufur and won easily 1913.
Now with team of timely and regular
hitters lined up the team looks better
than at any time the past two seasons,
when the patriarchs held sway on the
team. Baker and Thomas are the only
men who have played regularly on the
team IN former years.
A series of five games have been ar
ranged with White Salmon and the first
will be played about the middle of
May. The White Salmon team is built
up around several peppery players and
altogether is a fast aggregation. The
games will undoubtedly be interesting
and hard fought.
