base-runners that it was worse than
suicide to attempt to steal second when

ing story Of the game:
There wasn't any joy for Lewiston
In yesterdays base ball game at the
new grounds in the city park al
though the event opened the season
in the great national game. Briefly
told, Grangeville's team shut out Lew
iston while running up a score of IS
runs. then jumped into their auto
mobiles and started rolling back to the
big and famous prairie from whence
they came.
Still there must not be hasty judg-
ing. 1t was Lewston's first appear
ence, In an endeavor to get a line on
material, and local fans should be
patient for the management is deter
mined that before long a team that
will brng fame to the city will be
realized. Under the direction of
Manager Walter Kelsey the boys are

material will be recruited as 1t makes
itself available on a merit basis. In

different class of BAH the locals are
to deliver.
