man Gets Homer.

After winning three hair raisers
right in row, the Caldwell baseball
club got its first upset in many weeks
Sunday when Payette, with q real
baseball team, took the locals into
camp in 10 innings at Payette, score
7-6.
Manager Hurtt of the Caldwell club
served notice that he would protest
when Graves, Payette magnate frank
iy conceded prior to the games start
that Culver, former 0. A. C. twirler,
was not eligible under league regula-
tons. Using the Caldwell-Weiser
game as criterion, it is thought likely
that league officials will require that
the game be played over.
From beginning to end, it was some
battle Stewart, Caldwell twirler, had
bad day with 10 bingles garnered off
his delivery. But Caldwell swatsmiths
weren't having much trouble colliding
Culver's twirling and not many in
nings went by that both teams weren't
in danger of being scored upon
Following the usual procedure, al
most tradition, the Caldwell club
watched Payette collect three tallies in
the first inning. Shake, first man up,
led off with a clean single and Wells
and Shafer in turn dumped the pellet
neatly before the plate and the bases
were cluttered with none down. On
the next pitch, Webb caught the Pay
cite club mapping and, with beautiful
throw nailed Wells four feet off sec
ond. Stewart promptly threw away
this advantage by handing Shafer sec
ond base on platter when he wound
up for the next pitch. Webb undoubt-
eddy would have caught the runner for
the second down. AS it was, the next
two men hit safely, Bird getting a
double to clear the sacks and to bring
UP Payette's three runs for the inning.
Payette made four hits in this inning
Caldwell, needing the runs, prompt
1y went after them in the second inn
ing. Nelson hit, went to second when
the first basemen couldn't get in front
of one of Culver's repeated attempts
to nail men off the first sack and scor-
ed minute later on Sherman's long
double into center field. Stewart got
life on Skaters one error of the
game at short with Sherman advanc-
ing to third. Webb at the plate sig
nailed for a hit and run and laid the
ball down for a neat sacrifice with
Sherman across the pan. Stewart drew
up at third and scored second later
on passed ball and an error.
Payette added another run in the
last Of the second, Caldwell tied in the
next inning again and definitely took
the lead in the fourth when Sherman
clouted one out of the lot for home
run. He WIG first up.
One run looked like a million. Ste
wart was improving every inning and
threatening skies with gusts of wind
threatened to break up the game at
any minute with Caldwell in the lead
Caldwell threw away an oportun-
ity to cinch the game in the ninth inn
ing when three hits, two of them
doubles, failed to gather tally. Webb
led off with nice bingle and M.
HURT connected for his second drive
of the day, this time for two bases into
center field. Framback, running tor
Webb, was thrown out at the plate
Ansell whitfield for the second out but
Fisk drove another wallop into center
field for two bases. HURT tried to
score and was thrown out at the plate
with a marvellous and accurate peg
by inches for the third down.
With the tail end OF the Payet,e
batting order up. Caldwel's one run
lead looked good, But Lattig, after
Stewart had him in the hole, picked
one that Stewart recklessly grooved
TO him for two base clout Culver
famed but Shake got his third safety
OF. the day in this pinch and tied the
score. Wells and Shafer were easy
outs.
Caldwell again took the lead in the
first of the tenth Benedict, first man
up. lifted one for three bases and scor-
ed minute later on Culver's wild
pitch to the grandstand.
The lead didn't last long, however
Perry, the first Payette man up, trip
led aud Bird scored him with single
