messed by only few people. 1t was
decidedly handled, a result of
Grifiths being in the box for the Salt
Lakes. The Nationals slugged him
hard and often. At the start there was
a prospect of an even contest, but after
one inuing apiece it was evident that
there was to be a big score, with the
pitcher aforesaid and Barker pitching
for the Nationals. For short time the
Salt Lakes "coachers" acted pro-
perly, and it was though prob
ably they had read THE HERALD
of yesterday morning and governed
themselves accordingly; but as tie
game progressed they began their
yawping and senseless jabbering and
maintained it until the boys perched in
the trees on the outside took up the re-
frain, and as the third. base coacher
piped out, TO a base-runner on first
base, Make him throw 1t, ""Go down
we've got 'em ratified, +" You'll get
there before The ball." and lot more
such stuff, the echoes came back from
the boughs and branches. struck the
grand stand and rebounded with several
''Shut ups" AID groans. The umpire
