The Crystal Falls boys played most
excellent game, their fielding WAS fea-
ture while ON tho other hand the fielding
done 10y the Florence boys was very poor;
a number Of glaIing errors occurring in
center that II prevented would have un-
doubtcdly turned the gamein theirfavor.
Their pitcher, MIR. Galligan, could handle
the right hand batters and struck them
out about as fast as they came up, but
when the left hand fellows stood over
the plate they banged him all over the
field. Lusty in the box is n good one
and his strike-outs foot up more than
those OF the Florence pitcher There was
no money up on the game M WIS at first
given out. The game was umpired by
Chas Miller, OF Florence, and his decisions
were all very lair.
The appended challenge has been re-
ceived from the Iron Mountain Business
Mems base bail club.
