UP SIZZLING GAME
One of the Best Games from Any1
Viewpoint. Sern in Union County in
' fears Occurs at Imbler "Volley"
K Squires is Grand and Great Hero
of the Hour Minister Worshipped.
Imagine scores of harvesting crews
pulled out of the ripened grain on a
sunshiny day, , hundred of business
men and woncn gathered on a week
day to see two "kid" ball teams play.
Imagine full grown und mature farm
era, professional and business men
gone complete!: loco imagine all this
and y'ou have'a fairly clear picture'" of
the setting yesterday afternoon when
the little tots of the Imbler juvenile
baseball team won from tho Walla
Walla near-juveniles in a 10-inning
game, 14-15. The .Observer is, by no
means", "kidding'" the kiddies when it
avers tnat.no game in Union county
in many years has bcenTniitc as ex
citing. Dignified traveling salesmen,
bankers, doctors and lawyers, not to
mention the good matixms of Imbler,
danced a frenzied jubils'tc when it was
all over, for it was a aromatic finale
to a dramatic contest.v
Imbler ran and batted herself onto
the athletic map of tho northwest.-. It
ould, indeed, have been a commend
able victory had the two teams been
evenly matched as to weight, size nnd
ege, but no matter how prejudiced one
might be at the outset; the stunt be
comes doubly remarkable in remem
bering that not an in'blcr child is over
iu aim several arci t ana ii, ana wim
exceptions the biggc boy on
the lmtntcJtCTmT was smaller than the
smallest on thc Walla Walla nine.
The average age of thc Imblerites is
about 13, while that of thc visMors
would be. about '18. It was little bits
of fellows against well-rounded-out
Jioys, and, in one instance at least, the
visit ing "boy" was so old that he had
an hirsute adornment that would . doJ
credit to a man of HO. , Unhaply, he
had forgotten to shave. It was against
such a man that little Russell Mcken
non, weight ! age 11 years, was
pitted and got. by with it.
Tho contest presented hit and run
plays. ' bunts, home-run i, squce.c
plays, and all the rest that a well
coached tcHin should do.
Li' tie Ray Kcown, about as big- as
a Kansas grasshopper, walked out to
the rubber for Imbler and went
against the pun. The 1ip crowd un-
. nerved all thc lads a bit at first and
- Walla Walla put over- two runs, but
Jmbler came back with three. Kcown
has a real baseball head and form.
He fields his potion perfectly and
is awfully sweet on thc rubber, but
the big lads from over the hill wore
' him out and in the fourth inning the
little hero withdrew in favor of 'Vol
ley" Squires.
' Walla Walla scored nine runs that
inning, and just imagine 1 i 1 lie tots
like thc Imblerites bracing up against
a lead of that sort and wearing it
down. Squires has a stronger and a
bigger term. - He shoots 'em over with
oceans of speed. By the last of the
.ninth inning Imbler had managed to
overtake thc visitors by wearing down
a lead that would discourage, any ma
ture team Little Keefcr fired the first
gun of the winning rally when he'
drove a sizzling grounder hi to the
ou field with one on, and tied the!
scoit. In the last four innings Imbler
was playing jut as fine ball as any
team could errorless, brainy and
fast. After the sensational catch up,
the crowd was hysterical, but that

Accident Occurred 'While

Being Taken to. Inlet
Waters; Storm Arose and
Boat Was Swampod. '
BOISE, Idaho, July 28. How Gov
ernor Davis of Idaho, stripped to his
under-garments, and J. N. Apgar,
deputy game warden of Stanley Basin,
saved Otto M. Jones, Ulaiio state game
warden, from drowning in Red Fish
lake is graphically described in n mail
story to the S'..t'csi,ian Wednesday
from Stanley, n nu.untain villu'e 200
miles from Boise.
Tho near tragedy occurred Salur-
f. ,u it-.

cd about two miles a storm swjpt the
water. Considering the boat uusnfo
with the load it was carrying the par
ty put ashore. Tho governor and his
sons remained there wliilo tlio giimo
warden and his doputy swung out into
tho lako nguin. Heforo. tho motor
could begin to function sufficiently to
neau into -the waves the boat was
swamped about BO yards from tho
snore. , . . ,
As the hont settled Jones took thc
water. Jones, who is only a fair
swimmer, found it impossible to make
much headway as his heavy boots
dragged him down, lie returned 4o
tho boat with' tho assistance ol his
deputy but the boat, filled with water,
would not hold them bn:h. Upgnr, s
strong swimmer, started for shore.
The boat continued to settle leaving
Jones head barely ubovo wntor. A
huge swell from the lako carried him
off, just as the governor wrenched
loose a drifted trco near shore nnd
slut ted it toward tho drowning man,
shouting for him to seize it.
' It went ten feet out of line to reach
Jones, who was going down for ho
second time after a warning cry,
"JJnys., l'niull. .ini r-r!'iuwj.,wlng
Ihem gooil-liye. . The governor, shout
ing "for God's sake slay up," threw
his weight against the submerged log
anil was gratified to feel Jones tug
ging at it some distance under the
surface. Fearful lest he be loo weak
to hold on Governor Dnvis and Apgar
proceeded slowly toward shore giving
encouragement to Jones as each pad
dled with-one hand and towed thc log
with the other. . . v.
