and the boys got at him pretty freely.
In the earliest stage of proceedings
| there was very little to convince the
rooters that things We're to be even
close, for the Short Lines went to bat
with the vim of a Utah volunteer,
lining them out and trotting easily
around the tri-cornered scene until the
crowd in its agony shouted, Awful,
awful" Five runs for starter was not
very encouraging, TO be sure. and didn't
speak well at all for the Salt Lakers,

The fourth was another vain one for
| the Oregon Short Line. Shannons
two-bagger to centre was a good one,
but he had a sleepy eye which did not
escape the eagle optic of McCausland,
resulting in "Shanny" waking up to
find himself out at second base. Nc
Farland went out on a grounder to
Martin, and Knickerbocker famed
vainly at the elusive curve. Hopkins
did not properly appreciate a base on
balls and followed the example of

to pass Margetts and Martin went out.
but Reed had just enough time left to
make his run, which was the only one
scored during the fourth inning.
In the fifth the crowd awaited devel
oprhents with breathless eagerness.
Miller went out on a fly to centre and
Waller followed suit, a grounder to
second settling his fate.
Meinecke Fooled.
At this juncture a heavy sigh was
heard from the mighty chest of
Meinecke who came trotting in to the
bench and threw his glove haphazard
to the winds. 1t was all the boys could
do to convince him that only two men
were out and poor Meinecke went back
to second while the crowd gave vent to
fly sifted through the fingers of
Clemens in right and the crowd roared
again. Kimbrough replaced him. Two
more runs in this inning sent the Salt
Lake score up to seven, and the Short
Lines still five. Hughey's brave two
base run to third was a winner, and
he came in on a sacrifice hit by Kim
brough. Errors at short and home sent
Margetts around to third in the sixth
inning, and he scored on a long fly to
center by Shannon.
Umpire Griffin here voiced the popu-
lar sentiment by ordering Waller away
from the coaching line for indulging in
abusive language.
The railroaders were playing good
ball and held their opponents down
nobly in the sixth on good Unfolding.
The seventh was another all-around
goose-egg. a double play by Martin,
from Bowman's fly to Meinecke. who
stopped Waller at second, being worthy
of especial mention McCausland split
an ugly cash in his finger, but went
bravely back to work, feeling we'll re-
paid by the hearty applause he re-
ceived.
A large sized zero was scored by the
Short Lines in the succeeding inning
Errors and heavy batting gave the Salt
Lakers five more, and Hughey felt so
elated that he turned a few of mis-
clever SOmersaults.
