The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1891-09-19

| Goliath OF Gath came out to meet young
David of old. The victories of the two
days previous had made them some what
scornful of the abilities of the Salt Lakers
and they went in like old Goliah to toy
with their opponents, to play with them as
the cat plays with the mouse, and when
they got tired playing with them-to bolt
them.
But as is often the case with the over
CONFIDENT the boilers were bolted and the
reuters were put to route.
| The Denverites started in merrily and
played quick, straight game. Seven in
nlngs passed by in q marvelously short
space of time, and it began to dawn on
them that if they wanted to win that game
they would have to make some
| runs. In the whole seven innings,
though they had played we'll as ever, be-
mold, they had only made one run while
| their Jeered opponents had worked up two
| to their credit. On the Salt Lake side
there was mingled iubilance and anxiety.
Ihey had tried new combination by put
ting Edwards in the box and Tony Barker
70 support him, and most excellently the
new combination worked. Edwards is a
daisy. 1t was said on the field by man
VINO spoke as if he knew, that two years
ago Edwards was playing with the Cincin-
natls under the name of Meakin. How
ever that may be he played like profess
slonal. The Denverites eyed him with a
cold, steely stare as the game went on and
showed no sign of being any better-for
them.
At the end of the seventh, as noted above.
the score stood Q to l in favor of the Salt
Lakers, and all the spectators were in
ferment and fever of excitement.
The Denvers went to work wariiy:
preston died easily; Mclaughlin led out
by hitting hot one to center and taking
first. Little, left handed man, sent big
one into left, where 1t was least expected,
and Mac came in, tying the score; Buckley
ana Cotton pounded ferociously and three
men came In amid the fercest of wells from
Denver sympathizers. Then Start died
and the bloody innings ended-and none too
soon-for the grand stand was getting des-
perate.
Then the Salt Lakes came in determined
to recover their lost ground or perish in the
attempt. Griffiths and Coffin both got
their bases by the sheerest luck and each
one got pushed base further by ball on
the part of the pitcher. Then Edwards
stood up and did a mighty thing by sending
long straight bail between LETT and center
and bringing the two men home lifting the
score to 3. Groesbeck hit a lucky liner
into left and Edwards progressed to third
with not man out. Then Couchmap. a
new man, almost stopped the game by
sending daisy into center, bringing
Groesbeck in- and tying the score.
Then how the bleaching boards
split their lungs Gardner stopped
the mad progress for moment by striking
out; Bodell followed suit Barker hit a
great one into left and Couchman came in
putting the.Sa Lakes one ahead, and ruin
Ing one hundred pair of lungs forever
The hitting seemed infectious, for even
little Forbes sent liner into center but.
t!riftiths struck out so lazily that it looked
like give away and the crowd groaned.
while little Forbes wept in the distance
NINTH INNING.
The Electric boys came in lust little
dazed. Hollowell died at first. Lynch sent
high fly to Gardner which that player
went to take in fancily for the behoof of
the grand Standard muffed: but Lynch
struck out and that atoned for it partially {;
then Preston took up the bat. hit the bali a
terrible stroke up it went like an eagle,
scared while aud then gracefully des
cended into center felders hands. The
game was over. and the Salt Lakers were
one ahead with half an innings to spare.
ON THE SIDE.
Jus EuSIsf umplrSd WIN tne same skill
that used to make him the most popu lar
Judge in the old time games.
The Rapid Transit could have picked I'D
two or three more car loads of people if
the cars had been there when the game
closed.
The game was one of the quickest ever
played here. 1t started at rs and ended
at a quarter to 3.
There is mighty olling and rubbing
down on both Sides to prepare for to-day's
game. There ought to be a big turnout.
Coffin did the same even, excellent work
at second as on the day previous
Give the boys big turnout to-day.
The last game of the series will be PLAYED
TO- morrow afternoon, and it will mark the
close Of the season here.
