The "Jumpers" gfj-nered a total of 10 hits off Boylrs, the Madras heaver, while the visitors were able to connect safely but four times off McCorkle. Madras opened th? game and were retired In one, two, three order. Maupin fared as well in their half. In the second the visitors managed to get one runner across on an error by Lewis and a double sort of apathetic feeling seemed to take hold of Maupinltes, and as a consequence tne few games played proved losing venture. The same condition exists this season. Munftg cr Stovall has booked some good teams to play against Maupin. These come from various distances and their expenses must be met.

The game was nip and tuck until the seventh inning, when the muffing of two flies by the center fielder, and the consecutive fumb ling of grounders by the four infield men, excepting the pitcher, gave Shaniko five runs and the game. Tygh, with characteristic energy and persistance, made a desperate rally in the next and last inning and suc ceeded in scoring three runs, but the side was finnally retired with two men on bases with the score 12-9 in favor of the rugge'd boys of the top of the world.
