comeback Sunday afternoon when
Hermiston won its first league game
of the season against Echo in an
18 to 11 score.
Echo opened the scoring in the
second round when Berry went over
the plate for the first score. How
ever, Hermiston boys started scoring
in the third inning when six men
went over the plate in rapid succes
sion. Echo’s rally in the first of
the fifth inning came within one
point of the Hermiston score when
they tallied four runs, Hermiston
came back strong in the eighth
when they chalked up nine runs to
win the game.
Hermiston players connected with
18 safe hits against Berry, while
Echo made ten safe hits against Ko-
pacz and R. Woodward who hurled
for Hermiston.
Ray Woodward of
Hermiston
knocked the only home run of the
game by laying one against the
fence in the eighth inning.
Bob Woodward, well known local
pitcher, is expected to be back in
the Hermiston line-up soon, which
will strengthen the team greatly
and put the local team in the run
ning for the league championship.
The local boys meet the Mission
Indians at Pendleton next Sunday.
Sunday’s scores were as follows:

mains some lack of understanding.
It is well for you, therefore, to con
