.HEPPNER HIGH WINS
SECOND BALL GAME



journeyed to Pilot Rock last Saturday
where they met the high school team Of
the Umatllla county town in what prov
ed to be a well-played game Of base
ball Pilot Rock had played at Echo
the day previous and started their relief
row county boys held regular swat
fest over his offerings In the first two
innings and ran in five runs. In the
third inning Jordan entered the box for
Pilot Rock and, while he checked the
scoring to some extent the Heppnerites
were still able to put over six runs in
the remaining seven innings
Peterson who pitched for Heppner
had the opposing batters eating out of
his hand most Of the time. Only three
scratch hits were made off his delivery
and during the first three innings not
a man reached first. He allowed Pilot
Rock one earned run, the other two
being made through errors The final
score was II to 3.
Heppner played much better ball, par
ticularly in certain innings, than dur
ing the game the week previous with
Lexington. There was a fine feeling of
confidence throughout the infleld which
served to check errors and scoring.
Boyd at first played errorless ball in
the field but has not yet found his bat
ting eye. Irwin and Ferguson at second
and short are going to form a good
combination around the keystone sack
Ferguson knocked down several hard
hit grounders and threw out the run
ners at first in good style Irwin took
throws from the catcher in good form
ana put out several men. Both men
played prominent part in the scoring
Cason at third had an off day in the
field but redeemed himself in the bat
ters box, His bunting was excellent,
The outfield had little chance to show
anything in the field as only one ball
was hit past the inield Chidsey and
Logan hit better than the week pre-
vious, Shurte playing his first game
was unable to connect for hit. Young
catching his initial game this season
was trifle weak on low pitches, allow
ing several to get by him. But he work
ed the hatters well and put out several
men with fine throws to the bases.
Providing weekly competition can be
secured the high school promises to
have fair bali team. There is much
room for improvement particularly in
hitting but if neighboring high schools
can find sufficient funds for guarantees
and trips few more games will rem
edy a number of defects
The Sophomore English class dram
atized the classic. "A Tale of Two
Cities" and put on a two act drama
before the school Tuesday afternoon.

grounds and also will give the girls
much needed exercise

short
