THE RED GLOBE PHARMACY
On the Diamond
Lrst week was a red letter week for
Orofino in base ball matters,
and juniors winning from the opposing
teams.
seniors
SATURDAY'S GAME
Saturday's game was between the
Kamiah Juniors and the Teddy Bears
of Orofino, managed by C. E. Frazier.
The opposing batteries were Buesher
and Holland for Orofino, and Moffit
and Renshaw for Kamiah. The game
resulted in a complete shut-out for
Kamiah, the score standing Orofino 9,
Kamiah 0. The features of the game
were the splendid work of Buesecher
in the box, allowing but two hits in the
game, and the slugging propensities of
the home team, Hardy, Kinne, K. Mer
rill and S. Buescher getting two bag
gers.
Two games are scheduled for Satur
day and Sunday. The Teddy Bears
will play Russell on Saturday and Ah
sahka on Sunday.
SUNDAY'S GAME
Sunday's Game between Orofino and
Kooskia was won by Orofino witli a
score of 9 to 7. The .game was noted
for the heavy hitting of both teams.
In this regard . the Kooskia pitcher,
Gross, fared worse than Jewell, his
opponent, who was-fairly effective at
times. This game had additional inter
est from the fact that Orofino was de
feated by Kamiah on the home grounds
in the opening game of the season;
later Kooskia defeated Kamiah, and the
victory of Sunday shows the boys are
striking a winning gate and may al
ready be heralded as coming champi
ons of the Clearwater league this
season. One of the largest crowds of
the season witnessed the game.

people at the north end of the
district are averse to agreeing to
the northern boundary proposed
for the new district, which brings
it up to the south line of town

they expect later to see the cre
