some of the most brilliant and DuisSant
playing that either team has done this

amid intense excitement Wheeler broke

The dav was fair. and the sun beat
down with garish an@ white glare on the
dust covered arena and the PLAN, lank
lumber effect of the grand stand. The
battle was witnessed by multitudinous
crowd. In the grand stand. black forms
were packed together closer than leaves
upon a green bay tree. and the crowd
that stood and sweltered on the side lines
reached to the south fence of the arena
on both sides. The dusky blue uniforms
of the post residents contrasted with the
holiday attire of the city enthusiasts and
the airy dresses and gaily bedizened head
wear of many maidenS who witnessed and
cheered the sport.
The rooters ard enthusiasts who vo-
ciferated compliments and cheers at the
players were almost equally divided in
their allegiance to the miners and the
wearers of the blue. During the first two
innings. when the men from the mines
gathered in their beautiful record of nine
