Yellowstone journal, Monday: The
Billings nine, which some time ago
challenged the Miles City team, has
evidently arrived at the conclusion that
a game with the local players would
not be as easy as have been those that
it played with the little towns farther
west. 1t o asks for a postponement
Of the dates originally agreed upon and
wants to play some time later in the
month. The home nine wants to be
accommodating, but thinks that the
Billings players should adhere to the
first date. which was of their own
choosing, and not wait until the season
is almost over SO as to enable them to
import men and put a semi-professional
team into a game supposed to be merely
a friendly contest between n%eighboring
towns. Should the Alakli Flatters
insist upon a postponement the boys
will no doubt accommodate them and

the field. Even then it will not be a
cinch that the home boys will return
with their heads under their arms.
They may decide to do a little strength.

will take a good team to down them.

Billings Ball Club to 60 Against
Miles City Tomorrow and
Sunday.
H PUMPKIN ROLLERS
Are Growing and Have Sent to Butte
for PlayerS-GOOd Games
Promised.

Baseball enthusiasm has reached a
high pitch in Billings and the "fans''
are stepping high in anticipation Of
two great games to be played with
Miles City in this city tomorrow and
Sunday, July Is and 10. There is no
doubt but that these will be two of the
greatest and most interesting games Of
the season, as a sharp rivalry exists be.
tween the two teams, which will put
forth their best efforts.
The Billings boys have been practic-
ing and are showing up in good form.
Taylor will open the series in the box
for the home club. His arm is in pref.
ty good shape aud he will give the
"Pumpkin Rollers'' from Tongue river
o few pointers that they will be likely
to remember. The batting work Of the
club has improved remarkably since
the Sheridan game and with their usual
strong team work the boys expect to
take both games. Billings rooters are
practlcing up this afternoon and will
back the home club to a standstill, not
only with their wjndpipes, but their
pocketboOks as we'll, which will be
we'll filled for the occasion.
The games will be called at $3.50 p.
m. sharp, and Billings people should
make it a point to attend and give our
boys their support. The admission
price will be so cents. The lineup of
the Billings club for the first game will
probably be as follows:
Harrity, first base.
Rose, second base.
P. Fleming, third base.
Sheean, short-stop.
Scott, left field.
Freeman, center field.
Wells, right field.
Hines, catcher.
Taylor, pitcher.
A letter reached Billings from Miles
City yesterday morning stating
that the team there had sent to
Butte for two or three players to meet
them here, and that the Miles City
boys are confident Of two easy victories.
They will be disappointed, however,
even if they bring the entire Butte
team. Billings is going into these two
games to win and does not bar anything
that Miles City can produce. Mules
can't run against race horses, anyhow.
The Miles City team will arrive here
at 40 tomorrow morning and put up
at the Cottage Inn.
