Copper City and MacCallum q
Cloutier Teams Play Ball.
BOTH PITCHERS DID WELL
Tucker and Tolan Were in Good Con-

Graud-Old Stonewall the
Hero OF the Day.

The most exciting baseball game seen
in Anaconda iris season WAS the rne
played yesterday at Anaconda Lake
park between the Copper CITY Com
mercial company's employees and the
MacCallum & Cloutier men. The game
was interesting and the large crowd
present divided it's favols equally be-
tween the two teams. The score at the
end of the ninth inning was to 9, and
that was also the final score.
The players on both sides had trou-
blefs of their own. And how they did
get roasted. Whenever a player muffed
a ball he was Immediately called
lobster" "Spaniard, a "hoodoo" and
God only knows what names were not
applied And this same player was OF
ten reminded that d net would come in
useful TO him.
A player that would fan out got all
that was coming to him. The spectators
asked him when he would get mis- nab
its on and they told him there was
hole in his bat, etc. All those who at
tended the game were out for gooG
time, and they got it, judging from the
fun they had.
Dr. Stephens offCiated as umpire
and no officer accompanied him back to
town. which fact is a sure guarantee
that his decisions were all right. 1t Is
true that the players often told him to
come off, and to get his eye on the
ball" But what would be a ball game
without a little kicking on both sides?
From the start of the afternoon 1t
was plain to see that feeling of riv-
airy existed between the members of the
two teams. The Copper CITY players
wanted the game to be played at Ath-
letc park. but this the MacCalum 4
Cloutier boys refused to do. and they
won their point, for the game was
played at the Anaconda Lake park
This was very disappointing to hun
dreds of ball cranks. who waited at
Athletic park for more than one hour
before they became convinced that the
game would not be played there.
The two twirlers We're in great condi-
ton. Tolan made his word good and he
certainly had his opponents guessing.
AS for Tucker. he pitched a star game
He showed the stuff he is made of
when. in the ninth inning, with man
on third. a man on second and only one
man out, he saved the game by strik-
ing out the next two.
whats the matter with Old Stone
wall? He's all right!

game. Wall may not look like ia
| nous player, but he mustn't be judged

wager with you that Wall can't make

played marbles with the ball yesterday.
and after having made two runs. he
smashed theatall for homesrun and,
as far as can be learned, he$is laying
off to-day.
The MacCallum & Cloutier players
| surprised the crowd. They put up a
good game, kept cool, We're always con-
fdent. and to this is due the fact ;hlt
they played tie game. They lost a
great opportunity of winning the game
in the ninth inning. but as luck would
| have Ii, their weak batters faced the
pitcher and two of their men were
struck out by Tucker
