A Cold Wave Dropped on the Ath-
letics at the Park Yesterday
Afternoon.
The Visitors Did About as They
Pleased With the Leather
Sphere.
The Homo Boys Found Barker Puz-
zio-The Score Sixteen to
Nine.

While the Helenas were outplayAd yester-
day by the Denver team they contributed
largely to their own defeat by series of
lnexcusable errors. Balls were fumbled,
wild throws were numerous and at critical
times the boys we're badly ratified. This
was the case in the sixth inning. when the
visitors piled up four runs all of which
were due to rank errors. 10 illustrate:
Preston hit out, Baker made safety
through, McDonald's wild throw, Cava-
naugh sent high fly to short centre, three
men started for it. When the ball fell all
were standing around looking at it, each
expecting the other to take it. When IL ball
is coming into disputed territory it is Cap
tain Gondolfo's business to name the man
to take it. In the same inning Conley
made tumble and a wild throw and keas
instances. At other times the boys
Strengthened down to business and played
hard ball. While Barker pitched
an excellent game there was no
great difficulty in finding his balls
Few safe hits we're made OF him. Conley
pitched good game and was we'll support
ed by Crotty. If the other players had held
up their ends as well the result might have
been different. Aside from a few fine fly
clutches there we're no brilliant plays. Tie
audience, while not large, was enthusiastic
and generous in its applause. Mr.. Sole
mons work as umpire was very satisfat-
tory. His Judgment on balls and strikes
was questioned, but there was no reason to
find fault with his work on the whole. To-
day the teams will come together again and
a tine game may be expected. keas will BIZ
in the box for the home team, while Whit
ney will twill for the visitors.
