■ lEastmt (Elarkantaa Nnus ESTACADA TAKES GAME FROM OSWEGO TEAM L A K E NINE D E F E A T E D S U N D A Y B Y E S T A C A D A 11 T O 9 IN TH RILLIN G CON TEST / > » » For the second time this year the Estacada Legionnaires defeated the league leaders of Oswego in Sunday afternoon’s game. It was a thriller all the way through, and the victory was not cinched until Minto caught a high fly in the last half of the ninth for the third out, two men be ing on buses at the time. Oswego, winner o f the first half o f the Portland Valley league, has lost but three games this season, and two o f those three have been won by Estacada. The lake nine was de feated early in the season by Hills boro. Oswego, however, has one vic tory over Estacada. The result o f Sunday’s game leaves a three-cornered tie for first posi tion in the league. Hillsboro won a game from Estacada in this half and then was defeated by Oswego. The local team has won ten games o f the last eleven played. Ho .fever there are two teams in the league that the Legionnaires have never de feated— Sherwood and Hillsboro. Sherwood will play here next Sunday afternoon, in the last scheduled game o f the season. The loss o f this con test by the home team would end the season so far as the league is con cerned. If Estacada wins this battle there will be a playoff for the cham pionship o f the second half, and if in this contest Estacada should win thtre will be a playoff with Oswego for the league championship. The start Sunday looked bad for the Legionnaires. Oswego got two hits and as many runs in the first inning and scored two more runs in the third, making the score 4 to 0 In the fourth frame Estacada got 4 hits and two runs. In the fourth, fifth and sixth innings Russell held the lake club to 2 hits and no runs. Estacada failed to score in the fifth and sixth innings, but in the seventh, Russell, Legionnaires twirl- er, started the fireworks with a two- base hit. Minto was up next and singled. A. Lovelace followed with a two bagger, scoring Russell and Min to. Ray Lovelace singled, and Sun- deleaf, who had pitched the game so far, was replaced by Chief Manning. Fischer was safe on Brooks’ error and two runs came in with no outs and the score standing at 6 to 4. Miller was safe" on a fielder’s choice and VVeinel struck out for the first out. Bronson singled and Jen nings walked. On Russell's single, his second hit in the inning, Miller and Bronson came in. Jennings was stopped ut second and M^nto flied.out to left, ending the session and leav ing the score 9 to 4. In the last half o f the seventh Russell was wild and walked two men and allowed four hits for as many runs, making the score 9 to 8. Estacada failed to score in the first half o f the eighth and in Oswego’s half Sundelenf struck out and Brooks followed suit. The umpire called him out and he went to the bench. Fischer threw the ball to first base and it was passed around the infield when Brooks slipped back to first base and wa3 called safe over the protest o f Estacada's manager and at least half the fans. There was a big disturbance which lasted for sev eral minutes, the umpire changing his decision two or three times but finally deciding that Broks was safe. Estacada gave notice that the game from that time on was being played under protest. Brooks scored on Simons two-base hit, tying the score. In the first half o f the ninth Miller and Bronson each got singles and Russell and Minto each got two-base hits, Miller and Bronson scoring. In the lasf half Rittenhouse singled and Lehl hit into one o f the nicest double plays seen this season, Bron son to Minto to A. Lovelace. Shipley hit for half the circuit and Manning walked. This was the most critical stage o f the game, two outs and two on, the very situation that existed at Oswego when they won from Estaca da last June. Sundeleaf ended the suspension and the game when he flied out to center, Minto, second (Continued on page six) NUMBER 40 ESTACADA, OREGON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 17, 1928 VOLUME XXII A tt en d « P o st m aste rs’ C o n v e n tio n Postmaster A.
