WIN SUNDAY AT STANDPOINT
BOnners Ferry Again Defeats For
mer Rivals, TO /.

The Bonners Ferry baseball club
again demonstrated its superiority
over the Standpoint Tigers" last
Sunday when they won on the Sand
point field by a score of nine to one
Walser, the home mound artis-, was
in good form and struck out 10 Sand
point batters. Hydorn played his
usual heady, consistent game.
The home battery was given fine
support by the infield and the out
field, as per usual, was under each
fly and handy with the stick. Rohlf
who has been one of the best MI sers
this season, is credited with q two
base hit.
Next Sunday the home nine viii
60 to Troy and Manager Peterson is
expecting that a large crowd of fans
will accompany the team and root il
into a third victory for this season.
Manager Peterson has not yet ar
ranged a game for the Fourth of July
but expects to bring some crack Spo-
kane team here.
The game played June 4 on the
home diamond with Troy, resulted in
the first defeat the home nine has suf-
fered this season. The score was 8
to 0 in favor of Troy. The home nine
seemed unable to hit the ball and sew
eral errors were made at critical
points of the game which allowed
Troy to score Mickey" Fleming of
Standpoint, umpired the game and
local fans have figured it out that
Mickey" was the hoodoO although no
one casts any reflection on his deci-
sions. A feature of the game was
home run drive over the left field
fence, by Troy player with men on
second and third.
The account of the game was mad
vertently left out of the Herald last
week and while a write-up of it is
rather stale at this date and is in
conflict with the policy of the Herald,
the above is used out of courtesy to
the Troy team and fans.
