Made O Poor Investment

We are in receipt of many letters
which speak pleasantly of the indie
pendent-Reporter and the ideals 1t Is
attempting to realize. Now and then
there is an exception to this mighty
peon Of praise. The following would
be so regarded.
Perhaps In justice to ourselves, we
ought to say that the Ia cents, which
Capt. Gregg seems to think was an
unfortunate investment, has been re-
turned.
we Wish to give our readers the
opportunity of enjoying his letter with
US.

GAME FROM LAKE

kept the home boys swinging in good
shape, although some very good hits
were made off of his delivery. Jen-
sen pitched good ball and kept the
hits well scattered. The outtleld
was working like clock works Wed
nesday and one Of the last balls hit
in the ninth by Medicine Lake TO
center looked ike a real home run,
but it was bagged after a hard run
and perfect judgment. This hit would
have tied the score, or mayhaPS nave
lost the game if it had not been held-
ed as perfectly as it was.
Taken ali in all we believe that this
was one Of the best games that has
been unnecessary, one of which over
Park this year and the crowd appre-
ciated the efforts of the teams very
much.
The Medicine Lake team was rein
forced by the best from Dooley and
with their new pitcher they had as
strong an aggregation OF ball players
as has hit the Herald ball diamond Tor
many a moon.
A decision by the Medicine Lake
umpire marred the game somewhat
when he called a ball foul that was
within the line by two feet, but we
are all prone to mistakes, and we will
give the gentleman the benefit of the
doubt rather than to think it was done
intentionally

when the boys from the big end town

plate, making the score to 4 and
giving the Scobey boys at least
fighting chance to win, but it was not

didn't have a chance. In the fourth
inning PlentywoOd showed a run across

Last Saturday as per announce
ment in the News last week, the SEQ
hey sluggers arrived in Plentywood on
the passenger, the rain the previous
night having made the roads almost
impossible. At 4:30 the game was
called at the Herald Park, Jensen
pitching for Plentywood and Kuyken-
dali being the slab artist for the SEQ
beyites.
The game started out evenly and
remained that way throughout the
game, PlentywOOd winning by score
Of 4 to 2. q
Both teams drew a goose egg IN the
first inning and the fans had settled
down to watch a real air tight game,
but in the second the Scobey sluggers
cot to Jensen and after whanging the
ball around the lot, they finally
settled down after two runs had
crossed the home plate, but the crowd
was not in the least discouraged, be
cause the PlentywoOd fans had every
reason to believe that the home team
would easily overcome this small
lead.
Kuykendall, pitchiag for Scobey,
however, was going good and 1t was
not until the 9Th inning that Plenty
wood registered and then only one
score II was here that the Sc0bey
umpire called a man out at home
plate who was safe by at least two
feet.
Again in the 7th inning Plentywood
showed a Iun across, evening up the
score and the PlentyWCod fans went
wild. Jensen was pitching stellar bali
and was practically unhittable, while
Kuykendall was being touched up fire.
quently Cor hits, although scattering
I them out in good shape.
The eighth inning told the story
when two scores crossed the plate fOl
/ Plentvwood. The Scobey elaggers
had no chance whatever to overcome
this lead as afta@ the second inning
Jensen settled 10Wn and pitched his
/ oil time bail OF tWo years ago.
This is the FIRST time that Jensen
has pitched 4 ful game for Plenty
wood this season and the young slab
artist certainly showed up well. In
fact he had everything that pitcher
needs to win. Kuykendall, pitching
for Scobey also pitched very good
game.
Both teams played a good brand OF
/ ball and the fans were much pleased
with this exhibition of the great ma
tiOnal sport.
FLEETWOOD WINS AGAIN
One of the largest crowds that ever
witnessed a ball game at the Herald
Park in Plentywood gathered togeth-
er Sunday and witnessed the Plenty
wood team trounce the Scobey hide
busters to a tune of II to 5.
The game started out well, Plenty
wood annexing in the first inning
while Scobey goose egged, but in the

Scobey team blew up entirely, error

with safe hits made a merry gO-rOund
