Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, Aug. 20.-The copper and
green waved triumphantly at the base
ball park this afternoon at the conclu-
sion OF one OF the most interesting
son. By a score of Is to 10 the boys
from the Copper City captured the
game. which was holly contested from
beginning to end. Poor Unfolding on
Helena's part, combined with several
costly errors, lost the game for the To-
cal nine. H~elena's battery did some
fine work. as is shown by the score,
Anaconda not scoring until the fifth
inning. In that inning Anaconda
scored five runs on account OF errors IN
Helena's Unfolding. The sixth inning
was a goose egg for the visitors. The
seventh and eighth added eight more
runs, while the ninth closed the score
with a goose egg. All of Anaconda's
runs were made in three innings. Hell
ena had but two goose eggs on the
card when the game closed. The game
was exciting ali the way through, espe-
cially when Helena went to the bat in
the last half of the ninth, five runs be-
hind the visitors. 1t looked for about
three minute as though there was a
chance for the home team to even up
the score, but the clocklike work of
the Anaconda battery and the splendid
fielding soon shattered such hopes.
Lloyd caught two flies and the third
man was put out between first and sec
ond, bringing the game to an end.
Long, of the visiting team made the
star play of the day, sending the ball
over the center fence and scoring a
home run, the only one made. The Wis
iting team came in for many compli-
ments on their fine playing. the specta-
tors being liberal with their applause.
Considerable money changed hands on
the result, adding to the excitement of
the game. Another game will be played
tomorrow, when Helena will put Fer
rens. her star pitcher. in the box.
