So SCORE

Coming back strong after mishap
at Kamiah the preceding Sunday, the
home nine hammered their way to a
comparatively easy victory over the
Kooskia Indians Sunday at the fair
grounds The final tally was 6 to 3,
but never was the outcome in doubt
after the first few innings, and in the
last innings the home bunch turned
the session into a practice game and
ran in several of their extra players
Tom Hazelbaker. for the locals, had
the Indians under perfect control at
all stages, despite few infield mis-
haps that might otherwise have
proved disastrous. In the eight in
nings Hazelbaker presided, he struck
out nineteen of the visiting players.
In the last inning, with the game
Safely in the clear, HaZelbaker re-
tired to first and let Joe Derrig close
the game, the visitors getting one
score in the last frame.
For the Indians, Ben Harrison was
| the twirling artist. Ben is one of the
| old-time Indian players on the Clear
water, and in his day held his own
with the best of them, but Sunday the
local gang was pounding his offerings
all around the diamond, and while his |
support was pretty ragged in spots, |
nevertheless both infield and outfield |
were kept busy while the Grangeville |
boys were batting, diving for hot lin
ers and chasing flies. Grangeville's er-
ror COLUMN looked the best in any
game yet, the outfield maintaining its
perfect record, and nothing very seri-

ming when one of the visitors, after
being hit by a pitched ball, made the
rounds and scored without the ball be-
ing hit once by either of the two bat
tiers who followed A succession of
errors and poor throws was the run
ner's only ticket, but he got there, m0k-
ing the score 1 to 0 in favor of the
Indians the first inning. On the come
back, Grangeville tied the score, and
then began the steady forge ahead, I'M
til the game was comfortably safe
One of the features of the game was
a running stop of hot liner by Alva
playing second.
The lineup used Sunday was about
the same used in the other games

ers, behind the bat; Dick Derrig, first |.
Rowley Call and Alive Hazelbaker al =

The crowd Sunday, while not large,
vas typical baseball crowd, and gave
very. evidence of getting their mon
US worth. Glib Eimers handled the
Indicator with the usual satisfaction,
he only argument arising from
looskia player when he was called
ut on third strike foul that hit the
after. The visitors figured that
player i'm a similar situa-

eloped that it was not the Grange
lille players third strike.
