BOISE WINS IN
ELEVENTH; BEST
GAME OF YEARS
Capital City Aggregation Noses
Out Caldwell by FL Score
In Sensational Baseball Bat
tie Sunday.

Everything that most rabid baseball
fans could ask was dished up at Cody
park Sunday afternoon when Boise
nosed out victory over the Cald-
we'll team in the eleventh inning Of
what was undoubtedly the best game
that has been played for years in the
Boise valley. At that, Boise was
handed the game on platter. In the
first inning Boiler, the first man up,
got life when Benedict bobbled on
an easy chance at third. Grebe
struck out and Williams hit one to
Zimmerman that should have resulted
in a double play. But the lanky
twirler heaved the ball into center
field. Boiler went to third when
Riffel hit to Benedict who threw to
second and nailed Williams there for
the second out. On the next pitched
ball, Rifle sauntered to second and
Webb pegged to the bag to head him
of. Something was wrong with the
mental machinery for the throw went
into center field and BOILER came
home.
Caldwelrs home run came in the
fourth inning after two men were
down. Coffee bingled into left field
and scored on Webb's double to the
same garden. Williams retrieved the
bail in sufficient time to have stopped
the run but the ball took bad hop
on the throw to third and Coffee easily
scored. With Webb on third, Hendon
whitfield.
The Total Eleventh
1t was in the last half of the elev-
enth inning that the climax came.
Wells, who had replaced Williams in
left, went out on an easy fly to Bene-
dict. Riffel got clean single thru
first and Cooley walked after Zim-
norman had two strikes and no balls
on him. Jack Case drove one into
centerfeld. HURT, by quick work,
got under the ball but in reaching
for it, overbalanced and fen.
Every but the souting was over.
Both Wyman and Zimmerman
piched sterling ball. Nine hits in
eleven innings was the best that either
team could do. Two of Bosses clouts
were of the scratchiest nature while
Benedict got away with bingle that
was given him by the graciousness> Of
the scorer.
A. c. Mcneil. purportedly an jumps
with American Association experience,
started the nineteenth man in the ar
ena. He lasted just FIVE innings when,
answering the walls of an outraged
Boise fandom and a seething group
of Boise players. Al. Wells was
rounded up from among those pres.
ent to assume the burden. 1t hap
pened in the sixth inning that McNeal
thought that Colby was out at the pan
when he came in on a passed ball
Boise players and the Boise crowd
though differently and McNeal was
banned.
The Last Flare
Youman's, Caldwell's newest ac-
QUESTION filling the shortstop position,
performed creditably. Nelson, the
mighty, failed to connect safely. In
the eleventh inning with one gone and
two bags populated. he was walked
purposely. 1t was in this frame that
Caldwell looked to have chance of
winning. In the last half of the tenth,
Zimmerman had disposed of the op-
nell opened the next frame by whiting
position with four pitched balls. Cor
but Youmans got hold of one and then
proceeded to steal second. Benedict
laced a nice one into left and YOU
mans tried to make it home, Wells
perfect peg, however, caught him sew
eral feet off the bag. Nelson walked
and there was still hope but Westcott
whitfield. incidentally, Bailey dropped
the third ball and then drew Case off
the bag with a wild pag. Westcott
was out by inches.
An unassisted double play by Mel
son in the fifth frame and the bril-
liant work of Wyman who accepted
six chances without bobble. two of
which looked like certain hits, we're
the fielding features of the game,
