There were about 1900 people at the
Athletic park yesterday afternoon when
the ball game between the Anaconda
baseball team and the Anaconda foot
Dali team was called. The game was
entirely too much one-sided to be inter-
esting to the spectators-that is. speak,
Ing from a scientific STANDPOINT. but 1t
was interesting enough to keep most
of the crowd in the grand stand until
the ninth inning was finished. Wright
and Hines started in as the battery for
tthe football team, and they were doing
well. Wright pitching a mighty good
game. Along about the sixth inning.
however, when Wright was just getting
warmed up. and had just shut the Pr
afes out twice. the football team put in
= shoulder-bound pitcher, who was
touched up for IL runs, n after that
a ~left-hander, who didn't do much bet
ter. Why they tool Wright out is not
quite clear. Hines caught a first-rate
game. and Mr.. Sullivan played a good
second. The balance of the team was
very ordinary. however.
On the part of THE Pirates. 1t may be
said that for the first time out this
year, h players showed up well, but
there were many. many bad plays, and
not a few errors. The boys hardly had
their batting eye with them yet, for
Wright sawed five of them out, and
had the men behind him been onto their
Jobs in the least degree, he would have
held the score down pretty we'll after
the first inning, which was rather a
disastrous m for Tom, for the Pirates
scored seven times.

n Andrews struck out M. Sullivan
and Graham and 2fnrou uyonf nr,t ON a

ton and Freeman ahead of him. Dwy-
err dropped one over short, and Railey
, pushed n through third, sending
Dwyer home. Andrews popped up a
nice one. right in Kilroy's hands. but
the rubber was too springy. and 1t
bounced out again. Lloyd made a
cracking smashing. but it ought to
have been stopped. 1t was not, how
