The ssBrOnchoS'' Win Their Sixth
League Game Defeating Evel-
eth on a Score of ID to g.
EELETH OUTPLAYED
At Every Point by the Nine Stall
wart Young Men Wearing
the Red and Black.

1t was with blood in the eye that
the Eveleth ball boys arrived on spec
ial train at about IL O'Clock Sunday.
They came with the grim determina-
ton of pulling the 'Bronchos'' down
a peg on their journey towards the
penant of the Iron Range League.
The home boys, it must be admit
ted, did feel just trifie shakey when
they saw, Hines, ConnOrs and Neff,
formerly of the Duluth team. alight
from the train and in connection with
six Eyeleth boys, announce them
selves as the Eveleth ball team.
The boys, however. mustered up all
their spare courage before the game
was called and looked determined to
do their best or die in the attempt.
This same determination had posses
sion of them at o'clock when the
game was called by Umpire Shipman.
The Eveleth boys went to bat first
and were retired without score.
The same condition witnessed the
outgoing Of the Ely boys and thus
far everything was serene. In the
second inning the Eyeleths made two
scores. Ely followed suit and still
honors were even. but, it was plainly
to be seen that the Eveleths were not
in it, being outplayed at every point.
In the third inning Eveleth retired
without score while the Ely boys
piled up i've tallies to their credit and
two in the next inning; the Eveleths
being treated to another dose of
whitewash. In the inning that fol-
lowed, through a bad error, the visit
ors helped themselves to four scores
while the home boys only gained one.
From this on it was rather easy
victory for the Ely boys, the visitors
not adding anything to their credit
while Ely piled up three more scores
on their already sufficiently lengthy
list. The Eveleth boys seemed to lose
courage when they saw the way
Hines was being hit.
~
Fifteen hits were taken off Hines
and only five off Lynn. This in the
face of the fact that Eveleth has
a hard batting team, proves that our
little pitcher is hard to beat. Hines
has pitched some hard games at Du-
luth and considerable surprise was
manifested at the poor throwing he
did Sunday.
~
Coveau, who has not done much
with the bat all summer, is credited
with home run and two-bagger
Sunday. He also has several other
elegant plays to his credit. The Ey-
eleth '.rooters" have styled him Rom
go. having been mistaken in the sound
Of his name on his first appearance
before them.
Harrington did good execution with
the wagon-tongue in the last game.
Bert's error column for the season so
far is still blank.

Con Sullivan did poor batting Sun
day for the first time this season. Be
hind the bat no fault can be found
with him.
Lynch is ball player. Did you
ever notice his actions when assisting
the baSemen?
''Coxey" holds third base to per-
lection and makes an ideal captain.
M
'sEat-em-up" Heard, chief of the
centre fielders has not dropped a
single fly for the season. He hung on
to several beauties Sunday.
~
ssOld Man" Carey is a Splinter when
running bases. He ran backwards
after left field fly Sunday and now
has stone-bruise on his pants.
~
That Dibbel in right field is bad
man with the bat and a terror to flies.
