The above statements constitute a series

the patrons of The national game in Helena.
About 800 spectators sat through rs ragged
a game Of base ball yesterday afternoon as
can bo expected this summer. Tho teams
represented this city and Great Falls, and
were practically the same as on the day
previous. when Helena won by a soore Of
II to 4. Capt. Smiths men were first at
bat. Early got a base on balls, stole sec
ond, and was thrown out in attempting to
steal third. Wallace got first on an error

Great Falls. Crotty hit a little on to the
pitcher and Mullen struck out. One gooso
& for Helena, and five more were de-
posted in their basket during the after
noon.
Buchan came to the plate first for Great
Falls and promptly raped out a safe hit
and was as promptly thrown out in an
attempt to steal second. Then there were
five plays made, and five Of the rankest
errors made, Crotty accomplishing four
and Griffin one. Madison and Stevens hit
earned. But the first was not a marker to
the second. The Helena batsmen laid down
in one, two. three order, and the willow
out seven more, aided by errors by Griffin
and Twinsham and a wild pitch by Free
man. They touched the little twirler for
five hits. one of them a three-bagger.
Comfy came in from third while Twineham
was walking after a ball that got away
concern about covering the home plate.
In the third Wagner and Freeman scored
for Helena, though not a hit was made, two
passed balls by henefee and several bases
stolen on his veal throwing aiding them.
Great Falls scored nothing in the third
and fourth. When the Helenas went to
the field in the fourth Crotty had been sent
to left field. Wallace put on second and
Forbes. who had been on the bench. was at
short, Wagner going to the bench. Still
another change was made in the sixth.
whom Twluaham was sent to center and
Capt. Smith came behind the bat. In the
seventh Freeman was sent to center, Twine-
han came in to short and Forbes took the
box. The visitors made one hit off Forbes,
but he gave three men bases on balls.
From this second to the eighth Helena got
no runs, simply by reason of inability to
connect with the leather. COnly was very
effective up to the eighth, but four hits be-
ing made off his delivery, one Of them a
two-bagger by Smith. With the game
safely in hand he slowed mp and in tho
eighth and ninth he was touched up for
three hits each, one thr ee-baRger and two
doubles. He gave two men bases on balls.
These innings added seven runs to the Hell
ena score, bringing it up to a total of
eleven.
In striking contrast with the previous
game the one yesterday was full of errors
and totally wanting in fine plays. But one
double play was achieved. Emsrke's fly to
short left was caught by Crotty and the
ball we'll thrown to home and the runner
put out. 1nosssant ~wrangling over the
rank decisions of Umpire Lynch.added to
the unpleasant features OF the game. The
work of this functionary was so ~palpably
and glarinely unfair that he was hooted
numerically. His work the day previous
had been fair and in the main satisfactory,
but yesterday, both in Judgment on balls
and strikes and on base plays. was the most
exeorable ever seen in this city. It is to be
hoped he will not be allowed to mar any
future games by his suffron work. Umpire
Dreese gave general satisfaction.
It will be good news to lovers of the game
to know that the managers of the home
club are making strenuous efforts to secure
some hrst-class men who can be depended
N to play ball two days in succession, and
it ID not in the realm Of the probable that
they will again see such an exhibition az
that of the second championship game.
The tale of woe of yesterday is told:
