WEAK IN THEIR FIELDING
Good Pitching in Both Teams-Enthusi-

ers Made the Game a
Lively One

The tie baseball game between the
MacCallum & Cloutier and the Copper
City teams was played off yesterday
at Anaconda Lake park and the Copper
City team won by a score of q to IA.
Tucker for the Copper City and To-
dan and Dorush for the MacCallum s.
Cloutier otficiated on the slab and their
twirling was of the high class. Burton
and Storey were the umpires and their
decisions were of the eagle eye'' or
der.
The story of the defeat of the Mac
.Callum & Cloutier team can be told in
these words: Inability to field"
When the French store boys came to
bat, they would hit the ball in grand
style and score, but when they would
return to the field, it was then that
they would show the lack of practice.
Several times, the players fell over one
another in their efforts to get at the
ball.
As for the Copper City club, they also
showed lack of practice, but their field
ing showed little better Judgment and
demonstrated that they had practiced
the team play" policy
The three pitchers did great work
The credit for the Copper City victory
is largely due to fuckers fine control,
and the defeat of the MacCallum &
fCloutier team is far from being at
jtributable to Tolan or Dorush. Tucker
did not go up in the air single time.
lie was hit quite freely in the ninth
MINING, but he could afford to let up a
fdittle in his pitching, as his team was
away ahead in the lead and the seven
runs scored by the French store boys
did not have any effect on the game,
except to make it little closer.
By the manner in which Jack Tolan
started off, it seemed that he was going
to pitch a game of goose eggs for the
Copper City, but then the beauty Of the
national game is in its uncertainty and
a game is never sure until the last half
of the ninth inning. Tolan was hit
quite freely, but with good support he
would have made the game a very in
3teresting one. Dorush also pitched good
ball, but again it was the same story:
Poor support"
Heffron was the surprise of the day.
He filled his position in granu style and
was a revelation at the bat. He could
always be relied upon for a hit, and his
batting was of the sensational or
der.
) George La Pointe was the most en-
thusiastic player on the field. He
rustled hard for his team and was
everywhere at the same time. Wha
q game he did catch? Few balls passed
by him and the base runners We're al
ways in fear of being mapping. George
would watch all of the bases, and his
cool head work went a long way il
getting the victory FOR his team.
Chambers was the whole works" fol
his team. His. back stop playing was
great and his batting was Of the re-
liable kind He ran bases like deer
and his great speed helped him greatly
to make the home run in the third in
ming.
More than 1900 spectators witnessed
the game. 1t was most enthusiastic
crowd, evenly divided in its applause
for the two teams. Eacn club had its
organized crowd of rooters, and wher
some good play was made the yelling
and applause reminded one of a great
college game. The MacCallum & Clou
tier rooters had the following cry:
Copper City, Copper City, hit hit
hit.
Copper City, Copper City. nit nit
nit
The Copper City rooters were wei
organized and their cry was:
Copper City, Copper City, hum, hum
hum.
Anaconda frog eaters. bum, bum
bum
Following is the score:
