The report of the game, as furnished
the Standard by Earl Wiles. better
known as Brownie" who was the
newspaper clubs official reporter is as
follows
''Hulley Gee it was hot game. The
Standard won without hard work but
the foundry boys play a good game
tucker and Voss were a frost as UNI
pires. A wooden stick would have done
better than Tucker, and baby could
do better than Voss he did not know
what bauck was when Bliss made
three in sussion before his eyes. Show
ers, Stimil, Blen, Varney, Kuncle,
Derks Dunn, Lapointe, Willard of the
Standard team We're. all good.
'Blen made a good catch on a bee
line, and Showers done some good
throwing ito first base. The crowd said
II Stimil had a little more fat off he
would beall right. Willard made
good run and catch. .ZNssfs.
1.-THE foundry boys did some good
playing but will have to practice ito beat
the Standard Charlie Morgan done some
tall catching but was too slow ait the
bat. Bliss would make a good pitcher
If he would not make so many baucks.
The first baseman for the foundry Is
no good if he is tall he could not catch
balloon If he had a basket and Nc
Manamy on second was somewhat of a
kicker. George Storer on third is all
right on the muff. Smith in left field
is good batter. Charlie in center field
is too much on the flip order. and
Ensminger in right field got sick in the
2 inning and Fatty Williams took
his place. Fatty made a three-bagger
when first up to the bat and famed out
the next time up.
The Standard will play any amiture
team in the state Of Montana, Ana
