lost the first game through hardluck,
although the score does not bear it out,
but still they wanted odds before they
would bet. 1t was finally given them
by some of the home enthusiasts at
500 to $75, and several hundred dol
lars changed hands, but there would
have been five times as much if the bet
ting had been even.
The game was a poor u in most
respects, but was one of the most ter.
rific slugging matches on the part of
the Billings boys ever seen in amateur
baseball. They got twenty safe ones
five of which were doubles and ,one
triple, and the way they lined out the
ball was a caution. The pumpkin.
rollers were never in the game, so far
as winning 1T was concerned. They
went all to pieces in the face of the
hard hitting and piled up 10 errors.
aud while Billings made IS, it was be-
oause the boys got careless at having
such q soft snap. Eight of their
errors were made by Taylor o first
base, who newer played the position be-
fore, but he would not have been kept
there if the game had been close.
The main feature CT the game was
Harker's pitching, who proved to be a
wonder. He struck out 13 men and if
the umpire had done him Justice he
would have had fully 30 strike-outs to
his credit. And he was hit safely but
seven times, but at least three of the
hits should have been handled by the
fielders. On the other hand, both the
opposing pitchers-Ainsworth and Will
son-were batted at will. Two or
three times during the Singing match
it was feared the visitors would leave
the field and not play out the game.
but they stuck to it for three long
hours and got one Of the worst drub-
bihgs W given a ball team. But
they admitted. when the game wat
finally over. that they were outclassed;
that the Billings team was too strong
for them and that they were "up
against it plenty" Miles made four
double plays during the game, but the
Billings boys were tired of running the
bases when they were made and didn't
care il they did get out. They pre-

errors. accepted II chances at short,
and several Of his errors were almost
.excusable. while he was the only
pumpkin roller that could hit the ball
with any certainty. getting three of the
seven hits credited to his team. Free
man, Harrity and Rose all did pretty
batting, but nearly all of the boys hit
freely and Ainsworth and Wilson,
who the Tongue river lads call good
pitchers, were made t think that they
didn't know much about twirling.
But the score below will give the fans
a better idea of the game than could be
written in less than two or three col.
It was simply a slaughter Of

He shot a bird at his place at Mud

crane nor pelican. 1t had the points

C~ascagnette called it an hex until he
found that an Ibex had horns.
Pablo claimed It was a crane and
brought forth Ed Shorts Cyclopedia to
prove his assertions but was ruled out
on account of the web feet. He was
heard to say something about Orego-
MAN but had no further opinion to
offer.
Bob offered a big reward for the
proper classification Of the specimen
and Charlie Lewis volunteered that II
was a loon, but was quickly made TO
understand that he was away off.
Ike tried his hand-wouldn't venture
an opinion, but offered to stuff it and
put it on the ice chest.

way or another of their duty to give

their ruling passion on earth uppermost

THE NEVADA

The first number of the Nevada
Magazine is at hand. Editor Van
Duzer says the principal object of the
publication Is to slowly collate facts and
figures which will be Of value as adver-
Using the State and to bring to the
attention Of the outside world some
thing of the possibilities to be found in
Nevada in a mining and agricultural
way. The object is very laudable be-
cause W cannot have too much judi
cious advertising and there was never
a time In the history of the State more
propitious than right now when our
livestock, agricultural and mining in
dustries are proving their merits and
values.
Reno, the Metropolis of Nevada
by F. H. Norcross, is a timely article
and the best production we have ever
seen from the pen Of Mr.. Norcross.
The subject is handled well and COM
prehensively and will result in great
good.
To show the way to create a great
inland empire in the arid west is a
labor Of love for George H. Maxwell
who seemingly is making such a move
his life's ambition. If he does not sue
coed he will plant the seeds of success
but with the united cooperation Of the
people to be benefited he will see the
fruition. The people of Nevada owe
many thanks to Mr.. Maxwell and the
Nevada Magazine for the timely arti-
Gle.
Sam Davis, In our opinion, has one
of the best pieces Of fiction in my
Friend, The Editor" he has ever writ
ten. The financial value of Sans
contribution is not small and its literary
value is great. Mr.. Davis has ex-
tended acquaintance with Jim Town
send.
Miss Stella Webster's article covers
her subject and the work is uncom-
monty well done.
Miss Aimee Alice Sherman's article
advocating the election of United
States Senators by popular vote, con-
tains many good reasons why the
change should be made. They are
wholesome to contemplate.
