"Of J '66 -I THE BOARDMAN MIRR Vol. i BOARDMAN, MORROW COUNTY, OREGON, FRIDAY, APRIL 22 1!2L No. 11 UMATILLA WINS BALL GAME AT BOARDMAN The base ball fans who at tended the Umatilla-Boardman (?ame at Board man last Sunday were treated to a fast and fori ous game from start to finish. In the seventh inning, with the score five to five, the game was halted for the space of half an hour by a violent wind storm which turned the diamond into r whirlpool of dust making it im possible for the batters to se the pitcher. After the wind had subsided the game was returner) and the local bo.ys again hit thi ball all over the field. Good pitching by Smith in the first five innings and Hutchinson in the last four, supported ry er rorless anri spectacular fieldinj held the Board man boys to six runs. Up to tne lull in the seventh inning it looked like Umatilla would have a hard battle to hold Board man down to six runs, however, heavy hitting by ti e Umatilla hoys proved too much for their 01 ponents and the final score stood ten to six in ft.vorol the aggregation. Catcher Andrews of the 1 aid man team is deserving of i peoial mention for his numerous long throws from home plate to second base. POftOnately he faile-i ev -ral times to catch the runner napping. The playing of Llew ellyn, centerrield for Umatilla was characterized by his usual unfailing catches of long drives made by Boardman battels. In this connection, great cnuit is due Pond and Oompton for simi lar work in the Held, not forget ting the hea vy hitting and base stealing by the balance of our boys Kepford substituted for Albert Ford, Umatilla's catcher. The latter was indisposed but his keen interest in the work of h 8 team as well a his great desire to see the boys win was incen tive enough to take him to Board man. He a nd Sam Board man were "drafted" as umpires. Several close decisions featured the game, however, both sides appeared to be satisfied and the fans were appreciative of the umpiring.
