The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-09-18
TAKEN DOWN THE LINE
Colusa Parrots Beaten by the
B. & B. Team.
GAME UP TO THE AVERAGE
Some Rather Yellow Fielding Which
Shouldn't Have Occurred-A Little
Unpleasant Wrangling - Was
Tolerably Well Played

About 400 people saw the Butte e.
Boston team take Tom Kilgalon's pets,
the Colusa Parrots, down the line on
the Athletic park diamond yesterday
afternoon in a tolerably we'll played
game. There was some rather yellow
fielding, which let in runs that should
never have been made, and some un-
pleasant wrangling, the lions share of
which is charged to Bushcamp, who
captained the Colusa Parrots, but
otherwise the game was up to the av-
erage of the season. The Butte & Bos-
tons won by score of II to 6, and were
not obliged to go to bat in their half
of the ninth
Buckley pitched for the Butte & Bos-
tons, and King. of the old Boston &
Montanas, for the Colusa Parrots They
held their opponents pretty level, and
had they both received support as good
as their pitching, fewer runs would
have been made, as more runs were due
to errors than We're batted out. Buck
ley had somewhat the best of it, as
only seven hits were made off him,
while King allowed eleven. Both had
good control and but very few men
walked to the initial base. Murphy of
the b. & M. team caught for the CO.
luSa Parrots. His work was not UP to
his usual standard. either behind the
bat or with his hands. for he was not
credited with a hit, and he made nu-
erous errors of judgment which, to-
gether with Bushcamp's fumbling, We're
responsible for runs in several in
stances.
Way, who was back from the plate
for the Butte & Bostons, was a new
man. He held down his position well.
L u I IL
a very gentlemanly game. In the field
williams of the Butte & Bostons was
good at first, but not up to his usual
form Donahue at second played good,
strong bah all through. Sullivan was
good at third, but not as strong as in
center field. Howard Lloyd played
good short Mahoney, of football fame,
took care of right field in excellent
style, accepting all his opportunities and
making the star play of the day by 60
ing after a fly that seemed clearly out
of his reach and getting it as it drop
per over almost into the bleachers.
Morrison in left field and Merkle in
center both took care of everything that
came their way.
For the Colusa Parrots, Gallagher. at
first, made several bad errors, and
Bushcamp at second was an utter fail
ure repeatedly missing opportunities
and muffing the ball when thrown to
him to cut off a runner. Hiswrangling
and challenging the umpire to fight
furnished the only unpleasant incident
of the day. Dean, at third, and Dolan.
at short, played good, fast ball, though
they were not without errors to their
discredit, and Graham, Wright and
Maxwell, in the field, acquitted them
selves with credit.
In the batting Donahue led with two
three baggers and a single. Williams
and Wright tied for second place with
a two-bagger and two singles each to
their credit Bushcamp came in for
two-bagger, and Lloyd. Buckley, Nor
rison, Mahoney. Graham, Gallagher and
Dolan each had single to his credit.
The run getting was done for the
Butte & Bostons by Way, who crossed
the plate three times: Morrison Lloyd,
Donahue and Williams, twice each, and
Merkle once For the Colusa Parrots
Murphy made two runs and Graham,
Gallagher, Dolan and Maxwell one
each.
Following is the score by innings:
