When Trouble Occurred and
the Anaconda Boys
Withdrew.

~PHILIPsBURG, June 15.-The Anaconda
base ball club arrived in this city about
10 30 this morning, accompanied by sew
eral OF their admirers from Anaconda.
The day had beer very cold and dis
agreeable during the morning, but the
clouds cleared away in the afternoon
and the day proved TO be quite pleasant.
The game was called at 2:O o'clock,
and about 200 people were on the
grounds.
The visitors were first at the bat and
Hanley opened with a clean base hit for
n starter. He stole second and came
home on q hit by Schuster. The home
team were goose egged in their half Of
the first. In the second the visitors were
whitewashed AND the local nine tied the
score. In the first half of The third
the visitors scored again. In this
inning the home boys jumped onto
Kane's peculiar drops in elegant style
with the kind permission of the Ana
conda boys, who played as IL
they were afraid they would
get n nan out, piled up eight runs max
ing the score . To 9. In the fourth the
smelter city boys scored three runs and
in the fifth by hitting the ball In a savage
and malicious way made six runs, putting
them one ahead of the local team.
During the balance of the game some
brilliant field work was done, the features
being Peckover's catch i'm centerlicld and
line throw to first doubling a base runder.
Williams also made n pretty running
catch of a high fly to close leftfield. At
the end of the eighth inning the score
stood II to Il and the game was becoming
decidedly interesting. Schuster opened
with a spanking base hit past b short
ond on a base hit and Schuster went to
third. With a nan on third and eco
and only one man out, il began to look as
IL the Anaconda boys would win. How
ever Schuster got impatient on third and
finally succeeded in being thrown out.
play was finished Kane went out at first
on "a hot %grounder To second.
In their half OF the ninth the home boys
started oil in a very encouraging manner
by making a clean base hit and got a
man on third and second without a man
out. Hughes was then struck out, aud as
Brewster dropped the ball he got to first
hut was called out for not running prompt
~. A wrangle ensued and Hughes was sent
back to first but finally left the bag and
went over and stood in the crowd while
Beley famed air thrice. Hughes then got
back on first and claimed he was moi out.
Another wrangle took place, the UNI
pire became bewildered aud finally sided
with the local team. Neither side would
give up and finally Captain Peckover of
the Anaconda nine ordered his men of
the field unless the Philipsburg boys
would play out the game. They would
not do so and the game was stopped. At
this time MIR. Boyd, the umpire, recovered
his scattered senses enough to award the
game TO Philipsburg by a score of 8 to o.
Mr.. Boyd may have done all he could to
give honest and fair decisions but he was
not very well posted with
the rules and made some
very rank decisions at critical points of
the gam giving the Anaconda boys de-
cidedlv the worst of the deal. Both mines
did some very good playing in the field,
although the playing was unusually bad
on bo,h sides. Kane and Leach were the
battery for Anaconda and Conley and
Kelley for Philipsburg. Excepting in the
third inning Kane proved a puzzler TO the
local boys who were unable tai solve his
peculiar twirl of the sphere. Kelley also
pitched with good effect mt critical points
of the game. Hughes, w. 4. Smith and
Williams. Peckovcr and Stuart led in the
batting. The score by innings is:
