COMMUNICATION.
To the Editor:
I see bv vour local eulumus that
"Pernoir is charged with defeat of
the local tenm of Grants Pass in their
game with Roscburg last Sunday,
which certainly is au error, as Mr. Per
uoll is in no physical condition to take
part in the game at present.
The lineup was us follows:
S. Fnubiun c C. Hannan
Riggs p. . .-. Mitchell
Stevenuou lb.. Carter of G. P.
Thrasher, McKeuzie 2b. Neil of Ashland
H. Fnubinn 3b Eastman
Schmidt ss Gray
Smith If Jackson
Jarvis, Williams. . .ef Miller
McKenzie, Jarvis. .rf Gilvin
Iu the seventh inning Thrasher's fin
ger was split and he was forced to re
tiro from the game. The score .was 15
to 9 in favor of Roscburg, As the Grants
Pass tenm is in u crippled condition,
practically without its regular catcher
(Phelps) and using its pitchers in the
field, the gumo wus a farco from be
ginning to end.
Hoping you will be gentleman enough
to correct your error and give Pemoll
his just dues, I am, respoctfully yours.
