Estacada Loses Opener 5-3
The Estacada baseball team lost
the opening game o f the season
Sunday, on the home grounds to
the strong Gillis station nine by a
score o f 5 to 3.
With the exception of one or two
errors the game was faultless.
Jennings pitched a nice game for
the locals for five innings, and was
relieved by Tony Bronson, who was
a little wild at times, and was hit
when hits meant runs.
With a few weeks practice and
a few games Estacada will have a
team to be proud of, and should
receive the wholehearted support
o f the local fans.
The management wishes to thank
the merchants and citizens who
bought season tickets, which will
make possible a complete set o f new
uniforms for the team.
