Billings Takes Second Game With
out Half Trying.
FUN FOR THE RIOTERS
MADE LOTS OF NOISE WHILE
WESTERNS WERE AHEAD.
First Three Innings Were Marked By
Good Ball Playing, But After That
Billings Took Game In Own
Hands and Won In Easy Style
Ogden Defeated Short Lines.

For three innings the Billings-R. G.
w. game yesterday was close and in
teresting contest, with everybody play
ing good ball, and the advantage rather
with the local nine. But after that 1t
was a runaway race, for the Montan-
ans hoped onto Hughey's delivery and
batted out all the runs they needed in
the next three innings. After that they
took it easy and the game ended with
the score IL to : IN their favor.
The fans had all their fun in those
first three innings. They whooped it
up in good style during that period,
jollying the Billings men until those
worthless bristled with wrath and said
naughty things. But nobody had any
idea that the local team would win,
even when they were ahead.
'Billings'll skin 'em, of course" said
one valiant rooter, whose friends urged
him not to waste his. breath, but We
might as well have some fun out of it
while our boys are ahead
A young man named Sporer who
halls from Shattuck school, near Min
neapolis, pitched for Billings. His
south-paw bends were too many for the
Westerns during seven innings. Five
scattered hits were all the locals could
get in that length of time. Then Sporer
eased UP bit and the Rio Grandes
made a futile batting rally, which fat
>tened up their personal averages, but
made no perceptible difference in the
score. The work of the Billings team
was uniformly good. They are all ball
players, and they play the game all the
time. Marshalrs work at third base
was especially praiseworthy. He ac
cepted nine difficult chances faultlessly.
Hughey pitched six innings with a
sore arm and then retired in favor of
Bennett, who did rather better The
r. G. w. infield work was wretched.
Hopkins, Reed and Meineke We'd with
each other in error making. While
Hughey was in the box he played the
whole infield, not daring to let bah
go by. In the outfield Hughey also
distinguished himself by capturing
three hard line hits. Nels Margetts and
Barker covered center and right gar
dens in good shape and Bert Margetts
played good ball at first. Scare caught
a splendid game, without a passed ball,
despite the wildness of both Hughey
and Bennett
The score follows:

OGDEN FOOTBALL PROSPECTS
BECKwITH, OF BASEBALL FAME
Is ORGANIZING ELEVEN.
Is An old-time Player and Thinks
He Can Get Together a Crack
Team.
fspecial Correspondence. J

Ogden, Sept. S.-Ogden will in all
likelihood have a first-class football
team this coming season, which will
duplicate on the gridiron the success of
the seasons ball nine on the diamond.
There is already a well defined plan
to get such a team in shape, and the
baseball organization is to be made the
nuclues of the football eleven. Beck
with of the Ogden baseball nine is a
football player and coach whose name
and prowess is familiar to lovers Of
the game in all the great football cen
tiers, and it is understood that he will
undertake to organize a team of win
ners. He, as well as all other lovers of
the sport who have witnessed the ball
games this season. recognize that there
are several players in the nine who lack
only little coaching and practice to
made a number one football player
while there are many others outside the
ball nine.
The plan is for Beckwith to quietly
organize the. eleven and have it ready
for work at the opening of the season,
which will be about the close of the
baseball season. Interesting matches
can be arranged with aggregations from
Salt Lake and other Utah towns, as
well as from neighboring states The
plan is yet in embryo but is so reason
able and SO feasible as to make success
almost sure.

HAPPENINGS in The WORLD OF SPORT

1t was a tame contest from beginning
to end and the visiting nine was from
the first recognized as the under dog"
to such an extent that they had the
sympathies of the grandstand, and an
ogden crowd rooted for them. But for
couple of unfortunate errors in the
sixth, which cost a run, the game might
have beer, shut-out, but after this one
(, score had been let in the Ogden boys
did not seem to care, and succeeding
| errors let the visitors have three more
runs.
There was one long and loud dispute
| in the sixth. The umpires disagreed
and so did the captains. So also did
the crowd. The cause of the dispute
was whether Sandy" Mcfarland was
hit with a batted ball while scooting
from second to third. Scudder, who
was umpiring the bases, called him out.
claiming that he either interfered with
the ball or was accidentally struck by
a batted ball. In either case he was
out, Scudder said; and as he was the
third man out, two runs did not score
that otherwise would have counted.
Griggs, who was umpiring the plate,
said the ball did not touch Mcfarland,
view that Captain Schnabel, who was
playing third, treated as absurd.
The question then arose as to which
umpire had the say so. The Ogdens
claimed that Griggs had nothing to do
with unspiring where base running was
involved and the Short Lines claimed
that Scudder had no say so over a
batted ball. The matter was finally
compromised by the Short Lines yield
ing everything and continuing the
game:
Knickerbocker, Taylor and few of
the other. old-timers made heroic eff
forts to put up a good game. but there
was no doing so when they were forced
to play with three or four men who
could neither bat, field nor run. They
were exceedingly unfortunate in their
second baseinsn, who made many cost
ly muffs; relieved, however, by one or
two pretty plays.
The score in detail follows:

f. rye, after which six members of the
ward choir sang very beautifully the
anthem, We Shall Meet Beyond the
Grave. L. c. Griggs. who was a close
friend to the deceased for many wears,
spoke eloquently upon his sterling quail
tiles as man, and referred to the hope
OF the resurrection, when the friends of
this life torn asunder shall be united
upon the other side of the dark river.
The choir then sang the hymn, 20 My
Father, and James MCGEE followed with
a few remarks. He spoke feelingly upon
the life beyond the grave, and told the
sorrowing wife and family to be of good
cheer, for God is just and we should not
be afraid. The choir sang II Need Thee
Every Hour and the services closed with
prayer by Bradley Clawson
