ALUMNI TEAM DEFEATS COYOTES
 14-5|N ANNUAL BASEBALL CONTEST

Captain Miller of the Coyotes made g game fight yesterday afternoon, but Cap Lyail had the alumni tuned to the minute and the Coyotes went down to defeat by the score of IA to 5.
 The Coyotes were overmatched yes terday; the alumni presenting some of the best players in the valley in their lineup. There is no disputing the ability of Lyall, Cross, Heflin, West fall brothers, Sorrey, Gasser, Haldi- man, Thomas, Brown, Benenato, ct al. Lyall groomed the boys for a regular mill and found the Coyotes were pretty good working material at that.
 The Coyotes look good for high school team. The two pitchers who worked yesterday showed well for youngsters and the infield, though suffering from stage fright, pulled some big town stuff. Moore, play down liner with one hand that would read well in any record book and a few minutes later Village made a brilliant play that cut off two possible runs. The boys were a little weak in the pinches with the old think tank fail ing to function. For instance in the sixth inning Lya1l made a home run on base on balls. He took first on the wasted throw. went to second while the pitcher slept and made third when the throw to second vent wild scoring on the error.
 In the fourth inning Duke made two errors in a row with men on bases, but Duke made up for his mistakes by connecting with two two-ba ggers during the game.
 Heflin pitched a nice heady game, fooling the Coyotes with his slow ball, that wasn't half as slow as 1t looked ]. Dick might have scored a shut out game during his working period if the error column remained blank.
 Coaches Venne and Kreigbaum have no reason to feel that yesterdays de- 1 feat is any reflection on the school

 And then Billy telegraphs:
 Want you to handle college

 Something new. Looks good.''
 Billy Moore and yours -in- -destress were old pals, drifted apart. I had plunged into the perils of bush base ball, while Billy had picked it soft in a fraternity foundry. He was now head coach at Evergreen University, and making good, according to the sport sheets.
 I've never been keen about bossing rah-rah boys, but I borrowed few berries and took a rumbler for Billys field of endeavor- I was curious as to what he had up his cuff.
 It's like this, Squawk,' he chirps using the nickname wished upon me by fair lady who once failed to get alimony. I've had a flock of crack athletes under my wing here. A bunch of them graduate next week These kids are equipped with self starting educations. but most of their pocketbooks have to be cranked by mater aw rewaw the old daily bread must be earned.
 Some of the crowd figure it a shame to let their athletic ability go to waste. Far be it from me to toss ice water on the idea, I've encouraged em, and 10 of my promising athletes have banded together for a barnstorm Ing trip this summer. It'll be fun for em, If nothing else, and they think they Il make few megS.

Fish stories are heard on every cor ner, but the evidence has been minus, leaving the long suffering listener to use his own judgment as to the truth of the stories, but yesterday afternoon a party of anglers related a fish story displaying a string of bass averaging seven and one-half pounds to the fish, as evidence of their prowess.

 Preferring the background for the present, I picked a quiet seat. After the first inning I knew State couldn't beat Evergreen U., chiefly on account of Billy Moore's pitcher.

 "Oh, all right, Billy I remark. T can try anything once. I'll do the honors. but I ain't expecting any cinch.''
 Nor was I. Having been mixed up in sports since mustaches for ball players were a la mode, I realized trying to boss a bevy of rah-rah lads was like promoting peace in Ireland Still, I was out of job and jack, and you can't look a gift steed in the din- ing room.
