were necessary before the victor was
determined
IL was us, finally.
i TO o IL q remarkably close score,
really. / doubt IL one could evolve a
closer score than 1 to 0.
II you've ever seen a ball game,
Clarence, you'll readily realize that
10 innings Of scoreless fruifless ball
playing was doubtless productive Of
a mighty interesting session. 1t was
all OF that, and more The batting, from
a baseball standpoint, was punk. That
may be due to the effectiveness Of the
pitchers, and again 1t may be attribut-
ed to the fact that both clubs, the
players on the Grangeville team, at
least are especially green as far as
batting practice goes. In fact they
have had none whatever so far this
season. But they got 1t in Sundays
game.
There were only eight clean hits In
the entire ballfest. Three were gar
nered by Ferdinand players and the
home boys annexed the remaining
five or the delivery Of Addison, the
Ferdinand Fenom who worked out with
the Spokane leaguers this spring. Bling
Vansise was on the mound for Grange
vile and proved his class, which has
been lying dormant around here so
long. Anybody who can jump out Of
pair OF garage coveralls into a base
ball uni and twirl through III innings
Of scoreless BAH against q bunch OF
hitters like the Ferdinand boys Is des-
tined to be heard from.
Van Bingsise Ii a ball pitcher, be-
lieve us. Van Bingsise, with syste-
matte practice, will make our pitch
er's department well on par with the
balance Of the club.
Dutch Kabat had on the big pad be-
hind the plate Sunday and got away
nicely. John belmont Day in left
field and Doug Holsclaw at short led
the Bingville hub with the stick and
Captain Manager Eli Ingram also
clouted OPPORTUNITY. That Criddle-
baugh kid at second proved that his
work so far nis spring is not a mere
flash In the pan but he is regular
guy when ball-playing ability is on.
His Big Brother Bill in right field
had hard luck, but may blossom forth
later. Ray Moses pulled of circus
catch In center field and Glib Eimers
pivoted nicely around the initial sack.
Ed Abramson umpired. There were
no disputes and he whipped the game
through in fine shape, considering the
length of 1t.
With 10 scoreless innings one can
imagine that some fast ball was played
and that every inning was about like
It's predecessor. 1t was generally 1928
and out, witt Van Bingsise having
shade the better Of the pitchers duel
Young Addison Is a real pitcher, how
ever, and he had the town prides
swinging hopelessly at his change Of
pace and breaks. This old town may
need paved streets in the winter and
spring but right now she needs bunch
of ball clouters ON her ball team and
the sooner the managers and captains
and members of the club get into the
habit Of steady batting practice for
the ball tossers just that quick will
we break into the win column to stay
How'd the game break up?
Well, you see, II was this way:
In the last half Of the eleventh In
ming, with two down, Doug dropped
clean double over the infield and the
little Ingram boy smote one Of Adki-
sons offerings for high drive to left
field which went over the outfielder's
head and between his outstretched
mitts.
Doug made the circle. Can you blame
him?
