Memorial Day.
The 1922 baseball season opened
Sunday at the Indian Springs grounds
when the fast Kanawa team of Poca-
tello trimmed American Falls 3-2 in a
fast and well played game before a
large crowd of fans. Compton for the
Indians struck out 16 but the failure
of the locals to hit with anything like
reasonable frequency chalked up a de-
feat for our star moundsman. He had
the Indian sign on the Kanawas at all
times and probably would have Won
but for two costly errors at third i'm
the last innings.
American Falls went down to defeat
Tuesday for the second time due to
the heavy hitting of the Pocatello
Kanawa team and the inability of the
home club to hit in the pinches. Score
10 to 5.
Nine errors were chalked against
the locals against four for Pocatello.
Reed and Allen led with the willow for
American Falls and all but two of the
team got at least one hit. The Kama
was made four errors and registered
