and had stolen second, ran to third
after Dalley Maxwell had caught
Pace's fly to right. Maxwell threw to
Hug who in re'a. lug to third threw
wild the ball gol ig Into the crowd
back of third. Un ler the ground rule?
Marvin was entitled to home base nnd
he trotted to tie plate. Mecn while
someone In the 'crowd blocked the
ball, threw it to the Wallowa third
.ascman who sent it to Catcher Max
well, ahead of Marvin, the latter tak
ing his time ai he waa entitled to
the base under the ground rules, but
Morelwk ca'led him out. The Enter
prise team put up a strenuous kick
against such b:ire aced - robbery but
to no avail. He also 'refused to call
it a block ball which, If there had
been no gro.iml rules, ' should have
been done, and thut would have al
loweil not only Marvin but also liil
yeu to score. The latter had got on
by the baiej on balls route. The
first man up for Wallowa In Its third
Inning, Hug, drove a "grounder . to
French who thtew wild to first, and
Mr. Morolock a l )we.l Hug to trot to
lecond. That showed plainly he un
derstood the ground rules. There
wasn't any doubt of that howover, as
he waa told Hie agreement by the
captains within the hearing of the
wilier.
The other excessively rank decis
ion, was In the sixth inning, when
Johnson knocked a base, hit to loft
center but tried to stretch it Into
double but the ball was cleanly
fielded and Pace had It waiting for
JoliiiHon before he was In eight feet
of the biwe and touched Johnson
without difficulty, the latter making
no attempt to slide. The umpire was
within 40 feet aid locking directly
at the play, yet called It safe. ICven
the madly partisan crowd of Joseph
and Wallowa shouters couldn't shout
over that. Kveryboly was dumbfound
ed. A Ia Grande man sild It was
the worst decision he had ever seen
on a ball field and only one expla
nation could be given It. Johnson
scored a minute liter on Hayes hit.
The latter was lsft on Maxwell'a fly
to It. Pidcock, bo but for tho crass
decision 01 John 4011 no runs would
have been score! thai Inning.
These two de- Islons gave Wallowa
one score mo:e tlian they earned,
and deprived Kn'erprlse of at least
one, which would have re vers id
core. These two decisions were
enough to change the remit, bin
were not all by any means. Hoth
pitchers suffered o;i balls nnd strikes
those against Knterprlso coming,
however, when they would do the
most harm, as for Instance when he
called Savnge out on two strikes
In the sixth Innlm;. One score wn

threo balls pit: lied to 8avai?e were
balls and were called balls by the um

tried to excuse his action by saying
he had calif 1 tire firm bull pllcln-d
a strike. It was In reality a wild
