Young's Bay Team,
Dunham's Victors
In Friday Games
Softball fans saw plenty of
action in Friday night's games,
in which the Young's Bay team
defeated the 'Roseburg Lumber
company, 8 to 3, and Dunham's
Transfer took the Olympia Sup
ply by a score of 5 to 1.
The Roseburg Lumber com
pany rapped Chriscaden for eight
hits, but airtight fielding pulled
him out of the hole in two in
nings. Blake, twirling for the
Lumbermen, yielded only four
hits, but his lack of control cost
the game.
Two sensational plays by Rice,
leftfielder for the Transfermcn,
beat the Olympia Supply. In the
third Inning, bases loaded and
two out, Rice raced into the ex
treme left corner of the field to
drag down a fly ball which
would have cleaned the bases. In
the fourth inning, with runners
on second and third, Rice again
made the third putout, when the
batter lifted a short fly behind
third base. The fielder made a
running dive to take the ball only
a few inches off the ground.
Two games are scheduled for
tonight, weather permitting.
