Luck and the splendid work of Eddie
Kidder in the box won the game for
Salt Lake yesterday. 1t took ten in
nings of the fastest kind of ball play
ing to defeat Pocatello. and until the
very last of it. it looked as if Pocatello
had the game But third-baseman
Martin of Pocatello threw away the
chance of the visitors by an atroclous
error in the ninth, which allowed SAT-
Lake to tie the score and so to WIN out
in the tenth.
Seven to six was the score by WllfSsh
the POcatellos were defeated, ana II
was anvbody's game at any stage. Al
ter pitching the prettiest of bali on
Saturday. Kidder went into the ooN
again and almost duplicated his per-
Torrance. Eubanks was in the box
for Pocatello and he, too, pitched fair
ball but erratic support at critical
5unetures lost him the game
A Game For the Fans.
1t was above all else a game for the
fans and over d thousand of them were
there to see it. The good work of the
dav before had brought out everybody
in town that likes to see good ball,
and nobody was disappointed.
IF they had only played that KIND OF
ball earlier in the season, groaned one
assiduous attendant at the games
they wouldn't have had a ground big
enough to hold the crowds.
Pocatello had the best OF 1t nearly
ali the way through, but the Salt Lakes
were never far enough behind to get
discouraged nor to make the crowd
fear for the result. Eubanks was not
1r-f fi1ta
could not seem to run the bases sue
cessfully, for their hits did not earn
them ANYTHING like the runs they
should have secured. Again and again,
when two men were on bases and
little hit would have meant enough
runs to tie the game or give salt Lake
q nice lead. the locals would put the
ball IN in the air for an easy out or
else ANONYMOUSLY fan the atmosphere.
The visitors on the other hand made
all their hits count for runs and they
ran bases like fiends, every one of them.
Salt Lake Scores First.
Salt Lake began the scoring in the
very first inning. Rand threw the
first BAH sent out to him into the
crowd. and Hopkins got second on 1t.
Then Bennett poked out a long fly to
centerfield and Hopkins got third on
the throw-in. Seldom dropped Taylor's
long fly and Hopkins scored. Margetts
sacrificed and Scare and Hughey both
singled, scoring Taylor Griggs struck
out with two men on the bases.
Pocatello more than evened matters
up in the second. Boylan sent a hot
one to Kidder. which he let go by.
Cain struck out. Gerhardt knocked one
to center, which Hopkins should have
had, but Hugaey was after it, also,
and as a result it dropped between
them and Boyian scored. Berkeley
singled and went to second and then
to third. when Scare threw wild after
an Intellectual attempt TO catch Ger
hardt at the plate. Eubanl1s then sent
down a hot liner to first. Margetts
made a beautiful stop and picked it
UP in time to catch Eubanks, but
Berkeley had scored.
Another For Pocatello.
In the third. Pocatello added one
more to her score. Seldom sent up
high fly to short left field. and while
the umpire was watching the ball he
cut first base and made a double out
of it. He scored on Boylan's hit mo-
ment later. In this inning Salt Lake
also secured one. TAYLOR and Mar
gets singled in succession. Scare was
hit by a pitched ball and Taylor came
across the plate on Hughey's grounder
TO third base. which cut off Margetts.
Pocatellc made it to 3 in the fifth.
Seldom forced aut Martin and scored
when Hopkins let Boylan's hit go
through him. In the next the Idahoans
got their last run. Scare dropped Ger
hardt's third strike. Berkeley and Eu-
banks both sacrificed and Gerhardt
scored on Rand's hit
Salt Lake ought to have tied the
score in the seventh. Hopkins began
1t with a fne double to left field. Ben
nett sacrificed and Taylor and Mar
gets singled. This gave one run and
there were two men on bases. But
Eubanks pulled some extra curly ones
out of his clothes and both Scare and
Hughey sueeumhed to them.
Martins Fatal Error
The ninth began with the score to
against Salt Lake. Taylor made it
look bad for the locals by sending up
an easy skyscraper to Seldom Mar
gets smashed a hot one at Eubanks
and Umpire Hardness got in the way
of it, so Margetts was safe at first.
This ratified Eubanks and he sent Scare
to first ON balls, Hughey advanced
them both with sacrifice, and there
were t@'o men out and Salt L2kers
We're planted on second and third
Griggs came up and the fans shouted
"A little hit ties the score, Berthe.
Smash it out" But they groaaed
hopelessly when Griggs sent a little
bounder down 20 Martin. 1t looked as
though it was ali over then, but Mar
TIN. through over cagerneSs or sin
gularly inopportune case of the rat
ties" threw the bali far over Dates
mans head, and both Margetts and
Scare scored. The fans went wild then,
and pandemonium reigned for few
minutes for the score was tied and an
other run meant victory for the local
team. Mcfarland summoned up all
his energies, but all he could do was
10 send a long fly out to left field.
The Tenth Inning.
This necessitated another inning.
Pocatello got little satisfaction out of
her half. for three successive men sent
up pepups, which wer promptly COB
bled by voracious Salt Lakers. Then
