day afternoon agree to man that young
Mr.. McGinniss il Bird that the new
Maroons are "birds." and that finer lot
Of bail players were never found in Mon
tana than those who now wear the Helena
colots. II will take a better lot than any
other league town affords to beat thsln out
Of the championship. The new quartette
dropped in with the other boys like old vet
Grams and played together with the regu-
lasity of aynchronized olock. They hit
the ball At the right time, neldsd faultlesaly
and made but two errors. In fact they won
the game about as they pleased. MoGinnisa
| held up his reputation as IN artist and held
the visitors down to seven safe hits. In ad-
diton he struck out seven men, made an
effective double bageer at the right time.
The new men showed up in fine form.
George and Hatfield, who once played with
the Now York giants. and Hessamer, made
very favorable Impressions. George made
! the only three bagRer of the game, besides
two safe ones; Hatfield made some beautiful
stops and Hassamer SEQ cd four put-outs
At second. The old boys did quite as we'll,
notably Lobeck.
The Missoulians are likewise hard ones
to beat. While Cody proved somewhat
easier than NcGinnis he nevertheless
pitched an excellent game and there was
nothing certain about the result until the
end of the last inning. The prettiest run
ming catch seen in long time was that OF
Lauer in the seventh inning. Though the
home tenm's long lead in the first three i'll
nings and the absence of brilliant plays
tended to make the game uninteresting il
was nevertheless watched with the greatest
interest, because the game was for "blood''
and it was the first appearance of tho two
new teams against each other. All played
hard ball to the close. Kilpatrick's umpi--
ing was very satisfactory and there was
very little kicking. The game this after
noon should attract a large audience fol
there will be a change of batteries and q
renewed determination of both teams tc
win majority of this series.
The game yesterday was won and lost in
this way. Hernon opened for the home
team with fine hit mntfed by GoodenouRh
| at center. Hustin and Hatfield went to
bases on balls and the triangle was filled.
Georges hit brought in Hernon and sacri-
fees by Crotty and Strathers allowed hus-
tin and Hatfield to score. With three runs
to their credit the Maroons went out with a
hit ont to Fl at by Strsths's. For the visit

Work went to first on balls and died on Sec
