MADRAS BALL TEAMS Will JLLTIJE' GAMES Dafsat Wsrmsprlng Indian Teams At Baseball And aWakstaall Last Saturday The Madras baseball and baskotbal teams last Saturday repeated tbeir vic tories of the SfCTioas Saturday by de fcating the Wartneprisg Jndiansin three the home Moeads. In the imaoiiall crnmn the Madras, team won from the Indiana bv sk scots of 9tol, and the two girls basketball teamB of the Madras public school beat the girls teams from the Indian school by tscores of 13 to 12 awl 12 to 6. . TJie baseball gae wa called at 1 :.90 In tlm afternoon, the Madras team nlavins? the same llne-np as t,hat played At WnnnADrinea the week before. The- Indian tea was weakcaed somewhat by the abeie ef three of their regular players, and with the enbeUtufccs. in. did not play as good a game as they did the previous Saturday. They succeeded in getting only one roan acrocs the home nlate. while the Madras team ran)n nine. Immediately following the baseball game the first girls' basOcctbaU teams of the Madras nad Indian schools tried conclusions at the grounds near the 8choolbouae. The game was a hotly contested one, first one team and then the other betnc in the lead. Within the last minute of play the Madras team made a goal which gave it the victory. Tho games between the second teams followed and was another fino contest, this game being won also by the Mad ras girls by a score of 12 to 0. An unusually large crowd turned out to witness all of tho games, and with fine weather and eood contests the event was a pleasant one for the visit ors. Among the visitors were many in dians from the i enervation, who dis played a keen relish for the sport and a warm partisanship r their players It was interesting to bear thfir school "yells" and to watch them "rooting' for the Indian teams, and their skill in that line would make many a college boy green with envy. ' The Madras girls who played in the basketball teams were: First team Jennie Harper, Nora Livingston, Ethel Klann, Lorena Hill and May Campbell. Second team Lea Mayes, Ethel Cow herd, Ella Richardson, Mabel Braun and Minnie Habersticb. Supt. Covey of the Warmspring reser vation umpired the baseball game, and Prof. Fulton and Clarenco Ivlncaid of Antelope umpired the basketball games. PRINEVILLE NINE WINS BASEBALL TOURNAMENT The Prlncville baseball team won three straight games from the Redmond team in the baeetuill tournament at Prinuville during tho race meeting, and thereby took down the purse offered by the lair association. That the games wero good ones and the teams evenlv matched is evidenced by the scores of tho three Karnes which were 3-2. 3.-2 and 4-8, Prinevillo winning each of tho games oy only one score. Since the Prlneville team bus won In the tournament, demonstrating that it Knows something of tho game, it is now elialblo to play with the Madras team, nnd a game should bo" arranged for tho championship of Crook county.
