Vile too Much for Visitors
Season Closes

This years base ball season was
brought to a close last Sunday when
Grangeville defeated Nezperce in the
most bloody game of the year and
carried off the big purse for the first
time in many years. 1t was done by
a clean bunch of boys making 1t the
best ball club they have ever had as
well as the fastest. They are now the
undefeated champions of the two
Prairies going through the season with
out losing a game.
Sundays game was enjoyed by one
Of the largest crowds that has attend
ed this year. The people poured in
both gates in cars and on foot. The
Cottonwood crowd that came over to
SEQ their man do the work for the
visitors was a fine bunch of enthused
rooters and played their voices to the
limit for the team. The bleachers
were nothing more than noise, each
teams followers trying to yell louder
than the other.
The home team worked hard for the
victory and took no more chances than
they had to. playing fast and doing
the best they could each time they
came to bat, to- hit the boards on the
fence.
The game was called at two-thirty
sharp by Umpire Monahan from Lewis
ton, who was brought up to umpire
the game as GAddis left when it was
md
postponed. Monahan, who was one of
the best jumps in the Northern league
last year, displayed his ability from
the time he said play until he called
the last man out. His decisions on
the whole were good and neither team
mad any kick against him.
The game itself was no one-sided
affair, Nezperct keeping Grangeville
