ipsburR played an all round batter game,
both - the bat and Ia the hsld. Their
team work was pretty nearly perfect. Al
the bat every other conaIderation was snc-
rihced to that Of getting runs II they felt 1
little uncertain about putting the ball safely
outsids the diamond, they contsntsd them-
selves with bunting II to the iniaid and
taking chancss on beating II ont. OF their
ten hits fully one-half were of that order.
Munday pitched very pretty game, but
was unsteady at times, and his bases on
balls ware mostly productive Of runs. He
was also batted when hits counted, and ii
may safely BE- said be was responsible Tor
one half Of the visitors rims. Wisecaryer
Was hit freely il but one inning, and even
then the sharp play Of the Philipsburgs
kept the score down. The best playing 81 the
Helsna club was in ths sixth, when with
the bases full and no one ont, they pre-
vented . run crossing ths plate. Powers'
umpirinR was faultless. III
The story of how Helena Rot two runs
and missed few opportunities of getting
more, il briefly told. After Tully had
struck out in tho Arst inning, Huston made
4 clean two-base hit and went TO third
when Fuller missed the ball on tho throw
il 70 second. Hs came insson a hit BY
Crotty. Strothers followed with another
hit, sending Crotty to third. When
Strothers ran down to second Ctotty
started home. Wickizsr fooled him ~
throwing TO short instead OF to second, and
the ball was helded in and Crotty caught
before be crossed the plate. Then Wal
lace struck out and Helena's three hits
were only productive Of one run. They
got chance again in the third inuinp,
but failed 70 improve on it. With one ont
fully made hit, but the next two men
went ont easily. In the fourth Strathers
led Of with = base on balls, but was left
on hrst. the next three men going ont in
order. Their only other chance was in the
eighth, and they took advantage Of il TO
the extent Of one run. Munday made a
two-bass hit along tha foul ling. altar one
man was ont After Tully had been retired
at first, placing Munday on third, Huston
nit up 9 hy back of third. which Mcmillan
attempted to capture. II slipped from his
fingers and Munday crossed the plate.
Crotty ended the inning by foul fiy to
first base. In the other tive innings they
went ont in one. two, three order.
There WIS not an inning that Philips
burg did not have one or more men on
bases, except the ninth. and that was prob
half Of that one. Mcmillan led off the & ct
inning with hit, but ran too far on it and
