Score 9 to ,'!. While the score would indicate a one-sided contest, it does not show the evenness of play, which is best shown by the fact that Pullman had eleven men left on bases. Three times during the game all bases were filled but the much needed hit was not forthcoming to score the men. It was at the critical times that Lemly, Rosalia's pitcher, proved to be at his best and until the ninth inning, when Pullman put three men across the plate, he was Invincible in tin- pinches. Though but two Pull man men were struck out, all of their drives were unlucky and went straight into some fielder's hands. Two sensational catches by Rosalia's center and left fielders saved the day on two occasions when two men were out and the bases full. While Pull man put up a creditable contest It seemed to be Rosalia's day and they won. The game has been protested on the grounds of a direct violation of the articles of agreement which call for playing only of bona fide resi dents, inasmuch that Rosalia play ed two men, one residing at Marshall Junction and another from hpokano, in the game Sunday, Pufflnau a claim to a forfeited game seems well founded. As a counter argument the management of th.- Rosalia team promises to protest all games won by Pullman on the grounds of not tiling with them a list of all players who would compose the team, prior to the opening of the season as provid ed for in the articles of agreement. His point is poorly taken, and wheth er for the bluff or not, he is on ti wrong track, since the manager was not required to tile tie- above men tioned list with the managers of the other teams, but with tin- secretary ! of the league, which was done at the proper time. The decision on the protest will be rendered by the president, J. Newton Colver, within ten days from the time of protesting. There can be little doubt as to his decision, for iv the words of Rosalia's own manager, the two protested men were signed to play with that team and accept positions there after school closed. Then certainly they are not residents of Rosalia now and in no way eligible f to participate in games. Pullman does not feel that they need panics won on protests and were it not that Rosalia's action savors of unfairness no such action would be taken. Our team suffers the handi cap of not hewing the players in top notch form because they are all bona flde residents and hoys whose busi ness duties do not permit them to get the amount of practice they need to be at their best. Yet we are will ing to accept such conditons as they are and maintain the best standing possible in the league, and not Im port men expressly for the purpose of strengthening the team, and by so doing abide strictly by the articles of agreement and play our games for the lovo of the sport Itself. It is the love of the sport that guaranteed 1 Pullman's representation In the lea gue and all We ask is to compete with the other teams represented therein ion an equal basis and If we can not maintain a team as called tot by the j by-laws we will gladly relinquish our place. In the interest of the game and the welfare of the league, It might be added that If Rosalia desires to up hold such principals, as they have In timated, it ma* be well in the begin ning for them to learn the etiquette of fairness in dealing with visiting clubs, especially to the extent of not j trying to equip their team with bats and bails at the expense of the visit ing team. Pullman boys had to rifle the bat sacks of the Rosalia team to get back some of their bats which were being secreted there, anil two balls belonging to our team were also taken. Four other balls were taken from our bench, besides one ot I our player's mitts, but this was sup posed to have been done by small ; boys. If fairness is the cry. let's have it.

A baseball team composed ;■ of former diamond artists last Sunday administered an awful drubbing to the fireman team, the score at the end of the nine Innings standing 12; to 3/ and the "hasbeens" say they do nated the three runs to the firemen in order that they might get a second game. The firemen attribute their defeat to the fact that "Pal," the un suspecting bull dog. got away with Hie beefsteak that the fireman catch er was going to use inside his glove to lessen the Impact of the balls thrown by the pitcher. The contest Started out like a real baseball game, the "hasbeens" go ing to the bench in one, two, three or der in the first two innings, but in the third their old prowess began to re turn and the way they slammed the ball to all corners of the lot. brought joy to their backers In flu- bleachers and disproved the theory that "has beens" cannot "come back." When the smoke cleared away five safe hits and seven tallies were chalked up to the credit of the "hasbeens" and about that many errors and bonehead plays were charged to the firemen. In tie sixth the balloon went up again, but by this time the "lias beens" were getting tired and de i i led that four scores was enough. This ended their scoring.
