WHO WILL WIN PENNANT?

At the present standing of the
teams, and with only four more
games scheduled before the clos
ing of the Prairie League the
pennant seems to be within the
grasp of Ilo-Vollmer, Kamiah
and Nezperce. Nezperce has
two games scheduled with Kam-
iah, without a question one of
the strongest team in the
league and if the Lewis county
boys are fortunate enough to
defeat the Indians they stand a
good chance of winning the pen
nant. Should Kamiah however,
defeat Nezperce the honors
would without a doubt go to the
Indians. Ilo-Vollmer also is a
very strong contender for the
hOnors and must not be figured
out of the running.

Games Next Sunday.
Kamiah at Grangeville.
Ferdinand at Nezperce.
Cottonwood at Ilo-Vollmer.
Cottonwood lost Sunday to
the Ilo-Vollmer team in what
turned out to be a one-sided con-
test and proved to be featurless.
Owing to some costly errors
connected with heavy hitting by
the Ilo Vollmer boys run the
score very high and interest was
tagging by both spectators and
players alike. Cottonwood
nlavs a return game with the
Ilo-Vollmer team on their home
ground next Sunday and it is
hoped that the score will be re-
versed in favor of the home
boys.
NeZperce Shuts out Grangeville
One of the best games of the
league was played at Grange
vile last Sunday when the
Lewis county aggregation de-
feated Grangeville by a score Of
A to 0. This game, according
to a scOrekeeper was one of the
best games played on the
prairie for some time. Nez-
perce scored two runs in the
first INNING and duplicated the
performance in the second after
which it was air tight ball the
remainder of the game. There
was a question of the two runs
in the second inning, the conten-
tion being that a foul was called
fair and let in two runs.
/ Myers started the game fol
| Grangeville but was replaced by
Bittle in the second after which
neither team scored. 1t was q
pitchers battle from this stage
of the game with honors evenly
divided between Hollen of Nez'

of the best pitchers in the prai.

shutout of the season. 1t was
