"Dad" Clark to Immediately Take
' Leadership of Team There.
Boise, May 27. The Statesman
said this morning:
Dad Gimlin has resigned as- man
ager of the Boise baseball club, and
will no longer have any connection
with the Irrigators. He handed his
resignation to President Bossner
Monday afternoon. Fred Clark, the
veteran first baseman, will tempor
arily take charge of the team and
act as manager until the directors
of the club decide on what they want
to do.
Gimlin's resignation was volun
tary. He resigned because in his op
inion the fans did not want him any
longer. For some time past the
patrons of the game have beea sub
jecting Gimlin to one of those pan
nings that come to a manager at
times often from entirely inex
plainable causes.
On this occasion the fans seemed
to feel that Dad was not getting, all
he should receive in efficiency from
the club. Considerable adverse criti
cism has been directed against him
and Gimlin heard of it. He imme
diately handed in hJs resignation.
Gimlin Insists. ,
President Bossner did not. wish to
receive it, but Gimlin insisted and
.the president of the club had to ac
cept it. Clark will immediately take
charge of the club. A meeting- of the
directors will be held at once and at
that meeting it will be decided whe
ther Clark is to be left in charge or
some other manager secured.
Gimlin refused Monday night to
discuss his resignation. He has had
several baseball positions offered
him, but he will not accept nr.y cf
them. He intends to remain in
Boise for a week or 10 days and then
leave on a hunting and fishing trip
to be gone about a month. He will
then return to his home in Ogdcn.
BASEBALL GOSSIP
"Heck" Mclnnis has been told to
be ready to come to Boise at a mo
ment's notice. Someone on the
pitching staff now is destined to be
let go it is reported, and if the let
go occurs Mclnnis will be called to
Boise. ;
- .-
o
With Pittman having taken
French leave from the Irrigator's
camp, the Gimlin force is short
handed leaving it with the same
amount of winning pitchers that Ia
Grande has so the handicap on both
sides should be annulcd and the two
teams be on an equal basis this
week.
One reason why the La Grande
outfield is ranked as the best in the
bunch is that the three men h"dp
each other under stress. A few
days ago on the home lot Bock saw
a high one coming when ho was
playing close in and he turned and
beat it for the fence without looking
back. He stopped, turned in his
track and speared a hard drive. The
fans wondered how he turned the
trick but Nadeau and Druhot were
coaching him and told him when to
stop.
o
Having crawled from fourth place
in the percentage column to within
a few points of second, the Pendle
ton Bauckaroos arrived home this
morning on the early train and to
day are resting up for the six game
series with Walla Walla. McKune
and his men won both series they
rlnyed while away from home, an
nexing foru of the six played . at
Baker and the same number at

One bad inning spelled defeat for
La Grande when they buckled
against Enterprise in the Branch
line league last Sunday. Six errors
behind Foster cost the game, for the
old Badger heaver let the heavy
hitting Enterprise ' players down
with six hits. Errors alone did the
business, Enterprise running four
runs over in the seventh, up to
which, it had been a scoreless game.
' The game at Wdllowa was excep
tionally fast, Wallowa winning two
to one. The game was a thriller.
At Enterprise, the score was:

" Defeated "
doesn't round as harsh aa "beaten,"
but it doesn't alter the score.
Maybe the score would have
been changed if your hit had gone
just a little bit farther, out of
reach of the fielder.
Anyway, using a Cork Center
ball, you would have that chance.
Big leaguers say it is 10 to 15 per
cent livelier than the old style rub
ber center ball, which makes it just
lively enough to give interest to a
game, but not too much to make
the game a farce. Pitchers say the
Cork Center is easier to handle and
fielders testify that it fiiea more
accurately than the old rubber core
style,
