Thrilling Game Is Won Sunday By Vernonia Strong Hudson Team Is Beaten By Score 7-2 In what fans claimed to be the most interesting and exciting game here in years the Vernonia town team defeated the Hudson team Sunday on the local grounds 7 to 2. The game was closer than the score indicates, the local team making three of their runs in the last time at bat. The locals started strong, scor. ing two in the first inning, which gave the kids the necessary con fidence to go on to a win. The Vernonia infield pulled one spec tacular play after another. The youngsters made a few bobbles but they didn’t result in any runs. Hudson came here with such a good reputation that the kids were a little tense, which accounted for the few errors that were made. Holcomb and Turk were the batting stars for the locals each getting three hits and Holcomb a single, a double and a triple. Every member of the infield made spectacular plays with Haw kins of the outfield robbing one Hudson player of a sure hit when he made a nice long running catch of a pop fly over third base. Each pitcher pitched masterful ball. Francis (Old Man) Larson for the locals allowed Hudson only five hits while striking out seven. Keith of Hudson allowed nine hits but struck out 11. Baf- ford, local umpire, said Keith is the best looking pitching prospect seen here since the good old days of 1924-25. A capacity crowd was on hand to cheer the locals and their sup port meant a great deal to the team. It’s a known fact that the loyal support of the fans is half the impetus needed to win. On August 19 Vernonia is to play the Warrenton team on the local grounds. Warrenton is the champion of the lower Columbia, undefeated so far this season. The line-up Sunday: Holcomb, ss; Costi, 2b; Greenman, lb; Hawkins, If; Turk, c; Cline, 3b; Marshall, rf; Seranotti, cf; Lar son, p. Mrs. M. Cameron Dies While Visiting In Wisconsin Mrs. Maggie R.
