The nerve to tackle the hardest thing.
With feet that climb, and hands that cling.
And a heart that never forgets to sing—
That’s pep!
One of the most exciting and best
played games of base ball was given
the fans last Sunday when Hermis­
ton took Echo into camp. The score
given by the officiel score keeper
was 8 to 6. There is some dispute
about the score in Hermiston as
they claim that the score should
have been 9 to 6. However, they
won the game and they are willing
to let it go at that.
The game was full of surprises
and Intense interest from the start,
and not until the last inning was
over, was it a cinch that Hermiston
would walk away with a clean
fought victory, Echo in the last
inning staged a small garrison fin-
Ish that looked for a few minutes
like they would tie the score. But
they did not have the stuff to win,
and the game ended without Her-
miston going to bat in the last half
of the ninth inning .
Hermiston knocked two Echo
pitchers out of the box in the first
four innings and gathered enough
runs to win the game. Galloway
lasted one inning, Mitchell 3% in-
nings and Thornton finished the
game for Echo.
Phelps pitched good ball all
through the game, but in the latter
part allowed several hits that en­
couraged the Echo fans, and they
gathered four runs in one inning,
but not enough to win the game.
The support given Phelps by the
home team was gilt edged, and if
they keep it up. nothing can stop
th eboys from landing on top in the
percentage column when the season
is over.
Following is the score:
