Athena took the game from Walla Walla Sunday, by the score of 7 to t. Andre was in good form and tightened when hits meant runs. The Garden City boys ran bases well and their runs came mostly on errors. John Barnes, ex-Weston player, had several chances in center garden and pulled down flies in characteristic fashion. Athena's runs were made on healthy wallops, assisted by a cou ple of costly errors. A good sized crowd witnessed the game, a portion of which as usual, attended without paying, it being impossible for the collector to get to them all. The fact that many see the game without pay ing admission fee, has lead to agita tion for a fenced ground. Sunday Pendleton is scheduled to play Athena on the borne grounds, and a good game is expected. fit , " ,0V d - T .jiBA Tiv all t.o o .
