- amber of Commerce Baseball
Team Breaks Even in Two Games
Played During Week

The chamber of commerce base
hall team broke even in two games
nlayed during the past week, win
ming the first game, played at Mos
cow last Friday, by score of 10 to
4 and losing the second contest,
played Friday at Colfax, Is to 10.
Roth games were full of excitement,
although the Moscow game was by
far the best played fracas of the two,
some really good baseball cropping
out in both games.
Sangers steady pitching and the
terrific bombardment by the entire
Pullman team in the seventh inning
pulled the game out of the fire at
Moscow last Friday and returned
Pullman a winner, 10 to 3. For six
straight innings Moscow had things
her own way, leading at the opening
of the joyous seventh by a three to
one score. Five solid clouts, aided
and abetted by an error or two,
free pass and a number of pilfered
bases, netted eight runs in that inn
ing and clinched the contest for Man
ager Sanger's aggregation.
Aside from the seventh frame,
when two Moscow pitchers took aero
plane flights, it was as good a game
as could be desired, with more than
enough really good baseball to offset
the few "boners" pulled. Williams
started on the mound for Pullman
but was relieved by Sanger in the
third at his own request. Williams
was sent to short and played a sensa-
tional game at that position, grab
bling the hot ones from all sides. His
