SHELLEY

l.
Baseball, Shelley and Idaho Falls
The baseball game between Idaho
Falls and Shelley at the former
place last Sunday was good one,
though many errors were made on
both sides. The score ended six to
seven in favor of Idaho Falls. AT
the beginning of the eighth inning
the score was six to one In favor
of Shelley, but at this time the Shell
ley boys seemed to lose confidence
in themselves, and Idaho Falls won
the game in the last half of the
ninth inning. Shelley had the game
from the start, bue thru many err
rors lost it in the last half of the
ninth. The Shelley boys will have
to do better playing if they expect
to beat the Blackfoot boys here next
Sunday. Ed Hanks pitched the first
six innings of the game with Idaho
Falls and AL Miller pitched the last
three. AL Miller will be with Shell
ley the rest of the baseball season
and this town should keep him here
because he is q good boy and good
pitcher. Many people from here wit
messed the game at Idaho Falls last
Sunday and the general opinion is
that Shelley should have won the
game.
| A Picnic
! The young peoples class of the NJ.
Es church participated in a big pic
mic with large number of invited
guests last Thursday evening, June
81. The picnicers met at the M. E.
church at $50 p. m. and about six
carloads went out to the Norris ranch
east of town, where all the eats
! we're spread out upon the fresh grass
in the orchard. Everybody had all
they wanted to eat After the big
dinner, different games were played,
after which a fire was built and the
younger folks enpoyed themselves
roasting marshmellows. After 1880
| everybody returned home In cars,
| after having a very enjoyable even
ing.
The new Blaokfoot fire truck was
successfully demonstrated during the
fire here early last Thursday morn
| ing,, June 27. 1t is sure good fire
truck and is one that any town can
| be proud of. Shelley must have
real fire department and should have
a good fire truck. Some people say
this town cannot afford it, we can't
afford to have half the town burn
, down either. So it is up to the bust
ness men of Shelley to cooperate
with the town board in getting
means of combating fires. If the
wind had been blowing hard during
the night of the fire half of Shelley
business section would have burned
down before help could have been
gotten from either Idaho Falls or
Blackfoot.
