Bang Up Ball Game Spoiled by Eighth
Inning Rally of Old Timers-Comp-

on Bases.

The married men won handily last
Sunday on Franklin field when they
took the single boys into camp in the
first baseball game of the season, lb
to s. 1t was a good game, and belong
ed to anybody until the eighth inning
when a married rally put six runs
across,
The married men did not present
the appearance of trim athletes. Some
of them had not donned the diamond
togs for several years. There was
much putting and painting, talking and
kidding, and a few good plays. Wal
ter Kerr carted $50 pounds around the
sacks several times TO the amusement
OF the crowd and demonstrated that
he is better ball player than can
didate. Frank Kennedy scored three
runs. not counting what happened In
the ninth inning and probably will re
ceive permanent contract with thu
marrieds.
The Stitt boys, George and Charles
played good ball for the single men
as did Barnard and Davis. A goot
crowd braved the raw wind TO see th'
game.
Tentative arrangements are beln
made for a game between the marie,
men and Troop "A" Of the Nationa
Guard, for day after tomorrow. An
nouncement OF a game will probabl
be made later. The lineup and scor
for the game was as follows:

Some men get along splendid with
the women and Henry perhaps fig

Few towns in Idaho, or the ma

STATE POLITICIANS GET

Newly Elected Mayors of Burley and
Rupert Received Training la NUM-
cipaI Battles OF Power City.

State papers yesterday carried the
news of the election of w. II. Griswold
rs mayor of Burley and /. w. Creasey
as mayor of Rupert. Both men we're
trained in the biennial clashes for po-
litical power in American Falls in pre-
vious years.
Reports would indicate that this is
about the best political educational
center in the west. 1t is doubtful II
there is any city in the state or per.
haps in the west that claims an equa
to American Falls record. Defeated
candidates should take notice thai
they are duly qualified by schooling
in the hottest political pot in the state
to wage successful campaigns wher'
ever the fields look green. lndica
tions are that they cannot go wrong.

There was not a weak member in

the smaller numbers of the chorus,
from curtain to curtain from foot

with the production went as sched-

seemed admirably adapted to the
Opretta. The acting parts were quite
a revelation for home talent. The sing

the city. General comment concern

of admiration.
