Forest Grove 6-Royal Club 2 The ball game Sunday was a strong feature of the season, our boys winning against the Royal Club team of Port land, which played fast ball but not strong enough for the home team. The score stood 6 to 2 at the end of the game. Drew of the home team fanned out 15 men while the visit ing pitcher, Minor, fanned 12 men. Drew let 2 men go to bases as against 4 for Minor. Considerable excitement was caused when Davis at shortstop caught a red hot liner and sent it to Fairchild at third base thereby shutting out a score.
