4 Large Crowd Witness. AN Unusually Good
Game OF Base Bail.

Yesterday morning at 81. o'clock the
Miles City band assembled at the Mac
queen House, and followed by the Fort
keogh and Miles City base ball mines.
marched to the grounds Of the Miles
City Baseball and Athletic association.
Very soon after their arrival the grand
stand seats began filling up, and when
Umpire Bruning called time the largest
crowd which has yet attended a Miles
City game was in attendance. including
a very large number Of ladies.
After half an hours preliminary prac-
tice the home nine went TO the bat. and
retired in very short order. without a
run. while the visitors made one run.
In the second inning neither side
scored: in the third. fourth and fifth the
Miles City nine Jared no better. and
when they went to the bat for the first
half of the sixth inning. not a man had
yet crossed the home plate. while seven
Of the soldier boys had scored. keogh
had played an almost fault!ess game.
while the home nine had made several
bad errors
Seven to nothing was a bad outlook
for five innings, and it began to look like
a sure defeat for the fourth time. The
scorers called Ed. Naples to the bat.
and he touched the sphere for a two
Dagger. This seemed to start the whole
nine, and the result was a regular slug
ging match. DIR. .Andrus and Kid
Brown also hit Young for a two-bagger.
and no matter where the ball was pitched
it was hit hard. and before the third
man had succumbcd six runs were piled
up. not by errors. but by hard batting.
In the seventh the keoghs added one
run to their score. and retired. In their
part Of the inning the home team again
used the stick to great advantage. and
.Andrus' two-bagger. assisted by Cor
don's home run. Melted them four more
runs. bringing the score up to 10 to S in
favor OF the Miles Citys.
Nashold's delivery for the remaining
three innings was very strong and etfec
tive. and his support. especially by DIR.
.Andrus al second base. was excellent
and the result was that the soldiers failed
To increase their number of runs.
In the eighth Miles was also shut out
but scored one IN TIE ninth. and took
the game by II ,os.
Following is the scorc by innings:

NOTES.
1t was generally conceded that the
game was the best yet played between
the two mines. and the excellent general
playing Of the Keoghs was greatly adj
mired.
DR.. .Andrus at second captured two
very difficult flies. land in one instance
COX "a hari fall. lighting on his should,
ers. but held the ball. just the same.
This was the first instance in three
years playing in Miles City that Pitcher
Young of the keoshs has been battad
for so many long hits. He pitched good
bali. but everybody hit him whenever
they wanted in both the sixth and sew
enth innings.
Attorney Lights manipulation of the
lucky horseshoe caused considerable
amusement.
Murphy. the Keogh man at the second
bag. crippled a finger early in the game,
and was sent to center field. while Slid
ing" Kelly took the bag.
1t is probable that on Sunday the
Miles City team will play a return game
on the keogh grounds. to give the post
people a chance to see a good game.
