Tur ctatucduc *n c The Boardman high school baseball team defeated the local sluggers last Friday on the local diamonds to the tune of 12 to 6. Some costly errors on the part of the locals in the first three innings, along with some timely hitting by the viators, netted them six runs and gave them a lead that they never relinquished. The locals did not score until the fourth inning when they annexed three counters. Boardman Increased their six run lead to 12 in the fifth, sixth and seventh sessions, but the Hermiston outfit did not give up un til after their rally in the eighth when they added three to their score. Coach Waenta's students were not able to connect with the slants of the Boardman twlrler who had a lot more than the cover on the ball. He had speed, as well as curves, drops and smoke balls and was doubly decept ive with his southpaw throwing. Errors proved more costly to the locals than their inability to hit, how ever, for the score book showed that the Hermiston nine made only three less hits than Boardman. Bob Woodward umpired the game. CATTLE DISEASE WILL BE DISCUSSED BY DR.
