' . - i Locals Win From Chiefs 13-9 Sunday Vernonia Administer« Second Defeat of Season The Vernonia Baseball club ¿raveled to Clatskanie last Sun- lay and defeated that team for he second time this year, the icore being 13 to 9. The local ■lub previously beat the Clatskan- e club 6 to 2 about a month igo. Last Sunday’s game was a ree hitting affair with the locals retting a little the best of the xkirmish, grabbing off 16 bingles igainst 12 for the opposition. McGregor was the heavy sticker if the day getting four hits in five trips to the plate. Clatskanie drew first blood in the very first inning, putting up a marker when Gerry singled, stole second and third and came home when Heniges threw wild in an attempt to catch him at third. This ended their scoring until the 7th when they shoved icross three more counters on singles by Gerry and White and a double by Larsen. With s nine run lead Greenman went into the box in the ninth but due to his own wildness and loose playing behind him ths ‘Chiefs” scored five runs before McGregor could quell them. Al though they marked up five runs in this canto they only garnered me hit, errors at short and third being responsible for the major ity of the runs. The Vernonia Redshirts opened ‘heir attack in the third inning when they scored three runs on ingles by Malmsten and Marsh- ill and walks to Greenman and McGregor coupled with, an error it second base. They came back with three more in the fourth on singles by Brooks and McGregor a double by Linn and a triple off if Heniges’ bat. Another trio of -uns were added in the sixth vhen Brooks was hit by a pitch 'd ball and Malmsten and Mar- ihall were walked to fill the tags. Laird then cams through n the pinch with a double (Edi tor’s note—his second hit of the season) to center to score all three men. The locals added two in the eighth on singles by Brooks, McGregor and Heniges and two more to make sure of the game n the ninth to bring their to tal to 13 runs on singles by Greenman, Hawkins, McGregor and Marshall. While the game was rather slow in spots and featured by no particular bright flashes of play it gave the small crowd of spectators on hand at Clats kanie to witness the game many thrills. Besides the game sched uled with Clatskanie for next Sunday it is quite pot- lible that they will yet play a series with St. Helens and pos- ibly a game with Jewell for (Continued on Page 8) DIXIE MT.
