nation concerning the arrival OF Will

building up town.
Until more reliable information con-
corning above named party is avail
able the Lovett & Davis Produce Com

irons reserving their patronage for
Mr. Confare. and will pay them the
highest prices possible for their poul-

either Nampa or Boise in the other
four games which the Burley team
won on the trip. Immediately follow
ing the Burley series, Boise came out
gloriously with the statement that
while Burley's professional aggrega-
ton had proven snag, Boise was
more than match for any of the
Boise Valley amateur teams. Manager
Wyman Immediately began negotia-
tons with Vining with the result that
the local team will battle Boise at the
capital city on Labor day. Boise also
asked for game for next Sunday but
they wanted that at Boise, too, and
Vining did not feel that he could col
lect team to make the trip. AS it
stands Boise will have had three of
the four games the two teams have
played this year on their home lot.
Boise has won three games from
Caldwell this season but each was by
a small margin and considerable luck
entered into each contest. Boise is
loaded with horseshoes. Until Burley
COPIED their series, Boise refused to

Burnley CHAMPS
NOSE OUT GAME
Caldwell "kids"L Lead for
Five Innings Before
Balloon Finally scends
SkyWard.

For five innings, 600 Caldwell fans
believed Friday that the state baseball
championship was to lodge with Jack
Winnings Kids" But in that fateful
fifth, with nice lead of three runs,
Siffert at third base let couple trickle
through his fingers only to have the
errors followed by Burleys one home
run and the score was tied.
In the ninth inning, "Chink" Alex
ander weakened perceptably and be-
fore the slaughter could be stopped,
Burley had run three more TALES
across the rubber. That settled it.
Cornell, whose hitting and general all
round work featured the play of the
locals, added spark of enthusiasm to
the local faithful by clouting one on
the nose for four bases. He was the
first man up, however, and the run
was all that Caldwell could garner.
Professional Aggregation.
Burley has an exceptional team.
Every man is an all round ball player
of ability. Local fans who witnessed
the exhibition are firmly of the opinion
that Burley baseball supporters have
dug deep to provide that town with
what is virtually a professional team.
Their infield workout prior to the
game was revelation of smoothness
and assured ability to cope with any
thing that might be driven in any in
fielder's direction.
While Burley outhit and generally
outplayed the locals, it must be said
that the two home runs and two three
baggers which were included in Cald-
wells nine hits could not have come
at more inopportune times. Nary a

man scored ahead of those wallops
while Burley's one lonesome circuit
clout netted that them exactly three
markers.
Neat Billiards.
There was nothing exceptional about
the fielding chances handled by either
Perhaps a billiard play
in the eighth in which Siffert caromed
a hot one to Chapman at short SO
neatly that the hard working dimuna-
tive shortstop had plenty of time to
nail the runner at first was the out
standing fielding feature of the game.
Kearns, Burley's regular shortstcp,
started the game. The locals liked his
offerings immensely and in the fourth
inning, when Caldwell made three
tallies, Manager Slick reached out his
long arm and derricked that HEAVIER in
favor of Crane, elongated first base
man who pitched several innings
against Boise. Crane for time Jared
little better. Two healthy swats netted
another run. The rally was finally
concluded with couple of nice field
ing plays.
Good "Umps."
Crane improved with work and the
locals experienced greater and greater
difficulty connecting with his offer
ings. FELTON, of Burley officiated the
game and his work was quite credit
able. He may have missed several on
his ball and strike decisions but he
was the best Jumps" seen here in
many day.
Caldwell didn't win but they came
far nearer than Bosses touted aggre-
CATION ever did. Lack of practice and
the fact that several strange faces
were seen in the local lineup who had
never worked with the "Kids" prior
to Friday and whose work, while
creditable in the main, did not add to
the locals teamwork Sayer and Post
receiving, were particularly incapable
Of handling the slants dished out by
Alexander. Post did fairly we'll as a
mere catcher but his pegs to bases
were pitiful. I'm the latter innings Bur
ley almost ran wild, filching bases
whenever the elected.
Some more or less enthusiastic fans
who thought they could smell certain
victory in the early innings, fattened
the Buriey exchequer by casting some
coin on the sea of chance. Manager
Slick promptly covered every cent that
was offered in the face of three run
deficit.
Play Boise Labor Day.
Caldwell lost the game but the team
urned up better score than did
