Show I HIGHEST CLASS OF BASEBALL ASSURED If anyone Is in doubt about the class of batcball that may bo expected of the I'nion asfociatlon teams this vcar, let rtin' cast his eye over the scores of icccnt t .hlbltlon g-ames. r,r example, the Murray team held the t Mago Wliitn aox, a major league organization, or-ganization, to a nothlng-to-nolhlng- tie for nine brilliantly played innings. That rrrtatnlv was a grand achievement on t-c part of a. class D club. Two noteworthy events took place. Tucson', Tucs-on', one at Boise and the other at Portland Port-land U Boipft Erven Jensen's team fhut out thr Spokane club of the Xorthwost-uj Xorthwost-uj league in a l-o game. Tho mighty Innlanr were unable to do better than four hit off Stove Mcltcr, Jensen's 1 tcher That also wes a performance or "Men to bp proud. Portland fana taw startling ball playing I tiesday when Jess Garrett's Helena club r'yci the Portland Northwestern club a 4-to-- tie In seventeen Inning. When a team can go seventeen innings, twelve of them without being Hcored against. It an be set down as "srolng some." Both thn SpoKane club and the Portlund 'lub arc class B teams. Class B is two notches higher than the class in which Boise and Helena travels. In view of these facts, can thcro be anv question as to the character of basebail the Lnlon aoclation will furnish this ' ear? |
