Last Sunday's game did not quite |
come up to the standards of the best |
high class ball, inspite of the fact th |
umpires and equipment were good
enough for any big league. The reg
uglars worried along through two or |
three innings and discovered that
they couldn't beat the scrubs without
more practice, so the game turned in
to a good stiff fielding practice for |
the game next Sunday with Board-

Hermiston will open the season
here by playing the fast Boardman
team.
From dope received here, Board
man is already in mid season form,
and is out to give our boys a hard
tussle. They have several players,
who rank among the best, and under
the able managership of W. H. Stew
art of Boardman, they will perhaps
give us one of the hardest games of
the season.
The Hermiston boys, although
weather conditions have prevented
as much practice as' desired, expect
to give a good account of them
selves.
The grounds are in good shape so
that fans may expect some real fast
baseball.
