good percentage of the Fourth OF
July crowd chose the baseball game be-
tween rival mining companies. the Bos-
ton & Montana and the Butte & Boston,
which was played at Athletic park for
their amusement in the afternoon. They
saw the Boston g. Montanas win by a
score of II to 6. The game was fairly well
played, but for st. vrain, who pitch
ed for the Butte & Boston, being taken i'll
and being forced to retire in the sixth inn
ing in favor of Buckley. who permitted
the score of the Boston & Montanas to
be run up by five or six runs before he got
down to business.
McDonough and Murphy for the Boston
& Montana and st. Vrain, Buckley and
Williams for the Butte Boston were
the batteries, and all did excellent work
with the exception OF Buckley during his
first inning in the box. After that he ac-
quilted himself with credit. The others
who did especially good work were Her
ron in right field, Grimes in center and
Moran at third for the Boston 81 Montana
and Perham at first and Morrison at
third for the Butte & Bostons.
The fielding of the Boston & Montanas
was generally very good throughout but
that of the Butte & Bostons was trifie
yellow on the whole.
Boston & Montana went to bat in the
first inning and started the run getting.
May singled and went to second on an
other hit by Moran. Murphy then assault
ed St. Vrain for three bags and scored
both May and Moran. Hubert singled and
scored Murphy. Butte & Boston had to
be content with one run, made by Nor
rison, who sent fly into left field which
should have been a three-bagger, but on
which he scored through an error in field
ing the ball.
In the third Moran singled and crossed
thh plate as the result of a series of un-
fortunate errors. The Butte & Bostons
were shut out
Two runs were chalked up for the
Butte & Bostons in the fourth, while the
Boston & Montanas received a large
goose egg as their portion.
III the fifth May singled, got to second
while Moran was triking out, and came
home when Murphy hit for two bags. Gal
lagher hit long to center field and scored
Murphy.
At this time ST. vrain was taken sick
and Buckley took his place in the box.
He was wild. and Between this and being
badly hit, the Boston & Montanas piled
up five runs during its half In the sec
ond half Butte & Boston got a couple
more runs. No more runs We're made in
the seventh, but In the eighth the Bos-
ton & Montanas added another to thor
score, while the Butte G. Bostons We're
shut out. II
The order was reversed in the ninth,
Butte & Boston scoring one run while
Boston G. Montana failed and the game
was won by Boston g. Montana, IL to 6.
Following is the summary:

Umpire-Smith.
The Butte Juniors defeated Boulder in a
well-played game yesterday by the score
of Is to s. The playing of the Juniors
was quite a contrast to their playing last
Sunday. Raymond pitched a very nice
game for the Juniors, striking out eight
of the Boulders heavy hitters. Thurston
started to do the twirling for the Boul-
ders. but the Juniors soon found his
SAINTS and he was relieved by Sweet, who
pitched very creditably. Nottingham
made a fine catch in center of Mcbride
long hit, shutting off what would I'M
doubtedly have been a home-run. The
batteries were Raymond & Mcbride for
the Juniors, Thurston, Sweet and Forvilly
for Boulder. Umpire, Joe Filcher.
