1t Looked Blue for While But the
Home Team Pulled Out.

Home Team Pulled Out.
Sunday was Great Falls day at the
Back Eagle Falls diamond, but it
didn't look that way until the sixth in
ing. Earlier in the game there was
money going on Sand Couiee and no
takers. After the second half of the
sixth the case was reversed. All in all
it was good contest and pretty nearly
the whole story is told is saying that
Great Fails pounded the ball hard after
and, aided by a costly mutf OF McLane's
fly to Leadoeater, piled up seven runs.
Grimes pitched a steady game all the
way through except in this inning, and
McLane handled the sphere so that the
only criticism to be offered WAS that at
times he WAS little wild. Sand Coulee
found the ball frequently but couldn't
bunch hits. John Mcguire dil fine
work behind the bat all the t;r aud so
did Mclear.
Sand Coulee started the good work.
John Mcguire got first on McLane g

The game then Jogged along without
incident until the last half of the fifth,
when Tut stopped the Sand Coulee
yelling for a moment by three bagger
away over in the left field ditch and
came home when Leadbeater didn't
handle McLear's grounder fast enough.
