of interest in and about the city. He
had fine visit with Lefty" Brandt In

Libby Loses One
To Spokane Team

LIDDy uaSeDaII IdnS Witnessed All
other tip-top exhibition of the national
game last Sunday, when Caters Ship
by Truck team of Spokane took the To-
Gals into camp with II to 9 score,
1t was a nip and tuck battle through
out, with first one and then the other
team in the lead. But the deciding
moment of the game came in the sew
enth inning when Spokane, by series
of lucky hits, were able to put across
four runners, which gave them one
point lead over the locals. Another
score in the ninth gave them IL count
ers to Libby's nine.
Both teams were BANKED in the first
inning and both scored four runs in
the second inning. Libby BANKED the
visitors in the third and put across one
of their own runners in that frame.
Both teams again scored twice in the
fourth, the locals then leading by one
acore, to g. Libby then went into
what looked like definite lead, blank
ing the Truckers in both the fifth and
sixth frames but counting up one score
for themselves in each of those innings.
Then came the unlucky seventh inn
ing for the locals and the game was
lost But only after a game that gave
every fan his full moneys worth.
Zippy ball started in the first inning.
Allan, first man UP for Spokane,
struck out Porter got a safe hit.
Lowney sent grounder to Katarzy
off second base who tagged Porter out
on the base line and threw Lowney out
at first by double play, retiring the
side.
Spokane came back in the second
with four scores resulting from hits
and aided by an error or two by Libby
players. Then in the second half. Libby
at bat Rowland clouted out a three
base hit. Pearson grounded to short
stop; Rowland started for home and
won decision on close play in which
he, the catcher and the umpire were
rather well mixed up over the home
plate. Thompson put out three-base
hit into center field, scoring Pearson.
Reid flied out to shortstop and Bleich
kept up the good work by slamming
out a homerun, scoring Thompson
dltcdu Vi IliiIlSEn. LllLhSOIl We'll Uul
at first and Katarzy likewise on drive
to shortstop. Score even, 4 to 4.
Libby retired the visitors in short
order in the third, again with double
play. The first batter was thrown
out at first. The second man got a safe
hit over second, the third drove to
Pearson, who retired the side with a
double play, Pearson to Katarzy to
Rowland.
In the fifth inning, Katarzy pulled for
the second time a double play by tag
ging runner on the baseline from
first to second and then throwing the
batter out at first
Bennett seemed to be the heavy
stick man for the visitors He got
two three-base hits, the last one in the
ninth inning, scoring runner, but he
himself was caught out when he ran
past third on the way to the home
plate and then scrambled back to the
bag.

actual fires from lightning strikes,
while many more are expected to be
reported as they break out where they
