EDWARDS MAKES HOME RUN
WITH MAN ON

five Oregon hits well scattered, tn
University of Idaho winning the sec
ond game played Thursday Afternoon
at the Fair grounds from the Univers
ity of Oregon, II to 3. This made tw
straight victories for Idaho, MacMill
ans men having won Wednesday,
game, to l.
The three Oregon runs were direct
ily contributed to by baubles in tn
field by Idaho players, who made fiv
errors during the game. AS a who'll
Snow pitched good game of ball ant
most of the time his offerings prove'
.unhittable to the Oregon players.
Edwards Makes Homer
Ringle, The Oregon moundsman
was hit heavily, the Idaho men con
meeting for IL safe blows. Harry Ed
wards, Idaho third baseman, was the
premier batsman of the day with three
singles and a home run to his credit
Snow contributed toward winning his
own game by banging out two clear
two baggers and a third long fly
which went for near hit.
Edwards home run in the eighth
inning with O'Brien on second base
was the longest hit of the game and
furnished the hitting feature of the
afternoon. The drive was we'll over
the head of the Oregon center fielder
and the ball with good momentum
carried far down the field giving Ed
wards ample time to circle the bases
for the first home run of the cOlleg-
late baseball season this year.
Two Pretty Catches
While the game was one-sided with
Idaho leading from the first inning
the contest was made interesting by
long hits and five unusually good
catches. "Osty" Ostrander, Idaho's
right fielder, duplicated almost his
phenomenal catch of the first game
sof the season against Washington
State. In the seventh inning Roy
croft of Oregon connected for a high
fly which carried we'll into the Fair
grounds track Ostrander sprnted
back, jumped the small rail fence and
sspeared the ball for an out.
Arnold Cooley made pretty catch
of hard chance in left field when
she shared Sorby's hard hit fly. Cap
tain Percy O'Brien, Idaho first sack
,er, made a pretty catch Of high foul
fly we'll outside his territory after
hard run. The same stunt was duplt-
Gated by T. Johnson, OregOn's first
baseman. Roycroft, Oregon center
fielder, in taking Stiver's hard hit fly
for an out furnished one of the chief
fielding features and incidentally rob-
bed the clever Idaho short stop of
good three base hit.
Pulled Out Of Hole
Snow got away to bad start IN the
first inning. He walked the first man
up but the next Oregon batsmen were
easv infield outs. The fourth man
up, Sorsby, was hit by a pitched ball,
putting two men on bases, but Snow
frightened up and struck out Zlm-
merman for the third out
Idaho started hitting from the first
inning when they counted two earn
ed runs. Stivers c1outed out pref
ty double and scored when Captain
Percy O'Brien banged out a hit good
for two bases Edwards, next man up,
connected for long single and O'Brl-
on scored from second
Count Four in Third
In the third inning Idaho brought
across four runs. O'Brien started the

for Idaho on the prett1est steal OF
home this season He reached second

pilfer of home plate right under the
nose of the Oregon catcher.

for Idaho. He reached first base
on Beller's error, was placed on sec
ond by Ostranders sacrifice hit, and

long fly to right field.
Final SalvO of Hits
In the eighth inning with Ringle
visibly firing Idaho sbatsmen cut loose
on a final salvo of hits and near hits
Roycroft's feature catch robbed Stlv-
ers of a hit. O'Brien connected for
clean single and Edwards drove
him in with his home run. Cooley
connected squarely for drive to
right field but Sorsby converted the
hard hit ball into an out.
