IBLACkFOOT WINS
TWO GAMES
DEFEATS POCATELLO ON SUNDAY
AND REXBURG ON
TUESDAY.
SCORES 8 TO 2 AND Il TO 0
BLACKFOOT NOW HAS WON FOUR
GAMES STRAIGHT WITH.
OUT A LOSS.
BLACKFOOT s; POCATELLO 2.

Blackfoot defeated Pocatello last
Sunday afternoon in one of the closest
games of the season. The weather
was ideal and the crowd the largest
Of the season, it being ladies' day.
The Pocatello team was the third
team we have played from that city
this season, and demonstrates the su-
periority of the Blackfoot team over
the PocGtello sluggers, Blackfoot hav-
ing won all three games from our
neighboring city. 1t also shows that
the Blackfoot team is playing winning
ball, for all three of the Pocatello
teams have been made up Of the best
players in that part of the country.
Brewer pitching for Blackfoot held
the Pocatello team to nine hits in
the eight innings he pitched, and kept
them we'll scattered, until the eighth
when he was relieved by Howard af-
ter he had allowed four hits.
Phillips for Pocatello pitched an ex-
cellent game, holding the locals down
to seven hits.
Simmons was the batting star Of
the game, getting two pearlies in
three times to the plate, as we'll as a
sacrifice.
The features Of the game were Con-
gers quick work in the first, with
Lehrbas on first Kirkendahl attempted
to bunt, Conger coming in on the
run expecting the play, too Kirken-
dahl's attempted bunt in the air,
throwing out Lehrbas at first, max
ing a very pretty double play.
Morey's exceptionally fine showing
on second was another feature of the
game, with nine chance he Is
credited with one bobble, which
was not at all costly, and twice he
stabbed balls out Of the air with one
hand, cutting of several that should
have gone for hits.
Brewer was the idol of the fans,
when in the seventh, after Bell was
safe on an error, and Howard had
singled, filling both second and third,
and with two outs, Brewer singled
through second for the first two runs
of the game.
Pocatello tied it up in the first half
Of the eighth, but the locals came
back in the last of the eighth with a
double by Simmons and a single by
Warren, making the final score 3 to 2.

The locals took into camp Decora-

fast aggregation of ball players. but
poor pitching and poor fielding was
the cause of their downfall. Nine

the Blackfoot team fourteen runs.
