WEIRD GAME IS
NO n BY BOISE
SUNDAY 10 To 5
Caldwell Takes Another
Step Toward Cellar;
Could Not Hold Early
Lead.

Caldwell took another step cellar
ward in the Western Idaho league
pennant race Sunday when Boise cop
ped weird matinee by los score.
1t was the third consecutive defeat for
the local club and relegates the team
to fourth place in the percentage col
umn whereas but span OF weeks ago,
the Caldwell outfit was almost plan
ming the pennant raising celebration
-Four innings of real baseball were
followed by FIVE more that almost
broke the heart of the hard est fan
and sent Boise into the league leader
ship since Parma, at the same hour,
was giving Weiser the trouncing of
her life, l4-2.
Stewart started for Caldwell. He
was in hot water the very first inning
but managed to pull himself out Of
the hole and seemed to improve as the
game progressed until the fatal sixth
frame. Having survived this frame,
an inning that seems to have j,uxed
the local club all season, Caldwell
hopes were high for duplicating the
Memorial day massacre of the Capital
City outfit
In the third inning, Caldwell col
lected the first counters of the game.
Webb led off with a clean blow thru
third. Benedict forced Webb at &C
ond but beat out the thrown on an at
tempted double play by inches. Mel
son drove one at Wyman that the
lanky Boise twirler could not handle
and Sherman next up, connected for
three bases. He scored when Wyman
overthrow the third sack in an attempt
to get him at that station.
Boise counted twice in the next
frame when Stewart hit Nadeau, sub
stituting for Cameron. Russ famed
but Wyman got a lucky wallop after
his jumps" called a balk on Stewart
and advanced Phil on the play. Sher-
man tried to cover too much territory
and dropped fly in right center field
and Nadeau scored. Wells connected
into left field for clean single but
Cornell threw out Wyman at the plate,
Wells going to second on the play with
Williams ION third. Webb tried to
nail Wells off second for the third t
but his peg was wild and Ansell re-
covering quickly, also threw wide of
the score and Williams scored. Ashen-
felter hit the next pitched ball for an
easy out, Ansell to Nelson.
Boise tied the score in the first hall
of the next frame after Wyman had
retired Caldwell in order. After two
men were down, Chapman got a
double, stole third and scored when
Fisk let Nadeau's grounder roll into
the out6eld.
Needing runs then to take the lead,
Caldwell promptly collected two more.
Benedict, first up, lifted one over the
center field fence in the sixth inning.
Before he could settle down, Wynlan
was touched for two more blows and
another tally when Sherman triplcd
again and scored on Fisk's hit.
1t was in the next inning that Cald-
well lost the game. After iNyman
went out on fly to right field, Viii
liams hit safely, Wells flew out &c
Sherman but Ashenfelter connected
for double, scoring Williams. Zienkc,
victim of strikeouts the proceeding
two attempts with the willow. got his
one lonesome hit for the day. But
that hit was homerun and two scores
came in on the blow.
Webb derricked Stewart then and
there and Framback retired Foster on
an easy assist
What happened after that is too
painful to relate. Three runs crossed
the pan in the next inning for hois>
on one measley single. two errors and
two wild pitches. The bases were fill
ed on hobbies, Not one earned run
of the four Boise scored in this inning
and the one that followed was made
but erratic support and wildness ac-
counted for the tallies off Framback.
In the meantime, Caldwell could do
nothing more with Wyman's offerings
and the Boise club walked off with
the game.
Fans have been loud in their denun-
citation of Webb's act in pulling Stew
art. Caldwell has lost several games
thru slowness in taking weakening
pitcher out of the game in time to
salvage il and Sunday it was decided
