great extent from year to year. The

an elevator in operation for some time

ing and during this inning most of the
hitting, as the locals hit the visiting
twirler for three singles and double
which aided with base on balls and a
player being hit by the pitcher ended
the scoring for the locals.
Cottonwood was able to get men on
bases bue seemed unable to get hits at
the proper time to produce runs. Each
inning they were able in getting run
ners on bases but then the locals would
tighten up and the fun would be over for
that inning. Rookie was the heavy hit
ter of the game and the offerings of
Uhlrich, the local twirler, seemed to be
no puzzle for him as the score book
shows that he got three doubles and d
single out of six trips to the plate In
the third inning the visitors started
with a rush putting the first four men
on bases but after two scores had been
tailed with one man down, the other
two were easy outs and the local fans
took a long breath and proceeded to
put little more vim in the game and
as a result the local boys stepped up q
little as if to show the fans what they
could do if necessary.
The visitors showed that they were
in need of practice and it was stated
that several of them were playing their
first game of the season, which ac.
counts for several of their blunders.
The local team had the advantage to
some extent in having the services OF
part of the local high school infield
who were used to each others playing
and as the local G. II. .. ual team was
one of the best in North Idaho this yeai
they were strong factor in the win
