HUNTINGTON LOSES
BY 11 TO 10
After Giving Huntington n Ind of
fv Three Huns Ontario Tics Score
In Second Inning lUnck-
aby's Pitching il Cask
dny's Batting Features
After seeing Huntington take her
first bat and run In three scores at
the cost of Ontario player's errors, a
victory looked gloomy for the locals
last Sunday afternoon at the falr
, vrounds. Only In tho first inning,
however, -were errors on Ontario's
part extremely expensive, and good
playing prevailed throughout the
remainder of the game.
Tho locals apparently had on
their batting tegs, for time after
time they sent the horschtde pill
through tho atmosphere for many,
safe hits, for in the first Inning
Caslday, '-who was tho first batter
up, connected with one and made a
pretty two-base hit over the second
baseman's head. Husted fanned
and Gardner then came to bat and
made another hit which sent Casl
day to third; Guernsey fanned and
then Wells came in contact with a
hot one which resulted in a three
bagger, sending Caslday and Gard
ner home. This ended Ontario's
scoring In the first inning, but in
the second Blackaby succeeded in
running In another which tied the
score. In the third three more runs
were chalked up to the locals' cre
dit, which placed them safely in the
lead, and they remained there for
the remainder of the game.
The big feature ofthe game was
Bill Blackaby's pitching; proof of
this can be found in the fact that he
whiffed out eleven men, and in the
second inning, unassisted, put out
, three men In a row. Despite Black
aby's hard work.which he manifest
ed throughout the game he walked
only three men and made only one
error, which resulted In Hunting
ton gaining gaining two scores.
Another feature of the gamo was
the batting ability that Caslday dis
played throughout he entire game.
Only once did he fall to get a hit
during the game, and that was In
the last inning when he knocked an
infield grounder to short stop and
was nailed on first.
Taking the gamo as a whole, it
was a good one, filled with many
exciting plays and- pretty work of
both teams

According to reports Mr. Cochran
was driving along at a moderate
speed, not endangering the lives of
his wife and three children in tho

turn. The car kept on going' and
ran off the' side of the road and
turned turtle with the five occu
pants.
As a result of tho accident Mrs.
Cochran received a bad cut in the

REMARKABLE -RESULTS
Experiment Tried on Homer Utle
Ranch Hvenls Possibilities of
Weevil Control
Tho oxperlmont performed on
Juno 2nd at tho Homer Utloy ranch
by Don Wholan, extension entomol
ogist for Idaho, has proven that al
falfa weovll can bo controlled by
spraying. The flold that was
sprayod shows that fully 50 per cent
of tlio weevil was killed by this ap
plication, and it, is boliovod that it
killed all of thoso that woro hatched
at tho time of spraying, nnd only
those that wero unhatchod now ro-
main in tho fields. Farmers con
tend that with the application of
nnothor spraying tho pest can bo
ontiroly eliminated, and nro vory
much enthused over tho prospects
for Us control.
Thero aro several farmers near
pntarlo who report that weevil Is
not so abundant In their fields ns It
was last year, while farthor out In
tho country It Is apparently nB num
erous as last year. Ranchers on
Dead Ox Fiat say that their crops
will not will not bo injurod in tho
loast by. weovll postlcatlon, nnO aro
looking forward to n good alfalfa
hay crop this fall.
