to 10. The game dragged through three
hours and a half. several stoppages be-
ing occasioned by the fierce wind
storms. At one time it looked as though
the dust would completely bury, as in
Pompeiian ashes, the ball park. stand,
players and 800 spectators, and st.
Vrain and some of the other visiting
players afterwards wished that it had.
The Buttes won the game through
| main strength att the bat in the sixth
and seventh innings, when they jumped
| on st. Vrain with IS feet and drove
| him frantic from the box. St. Vrain
| had most of the Buttes completely at
his mercy in the early part of the game,
| and the Buttes hit all around the ball,
but could not touch it. st. Vrain SEEM
ed to profit by his knowledge of the
| weakness of his old associates. But
| along in the middle of the game the
Buttes came to the conclusion that the
| saint was getting too cocky, and they
pounded him until he screamed for
mercy. Ryan took St. Vrains place
towards the close of the seventh inn
ing, French going to right field. Free
man split a finger in the fifth inning,
and McDonough took his place
The game was not quite so brilliant
as the one of Saturday. The high wind
| which prevailed during most of the
game made 1t difficult for the fielders
| to judge flies accurately. Williams
played third, and while apparently not
as much at home there as at second, he
| did reliable work Flannerys quick
| fielding and accurate long-distance
throwing from left field kept several
Helena men from crossing the home
plate. Sullivan made a fine catch in
center, and Perham played well, out
side of one horrible throw to first, which
gave Helena three runs. Gallagher
played tirst-class game at first. Nc
Donough, although hit freely, was
steady and the Helenas got beyond his
control in only one inning. Burton and
Hammond of the Helenas both seemed
to have an off day, and made serious
plumbers. Murphy did brilliant work
behind the bat, but his weakness in
throwing to bases proved costly.
The game opened rather dsmally for
Butte when the mighty Flannery, the
| lowed with a safe hit. Perham and
| Gallagher could not touch the ball, but
| got their bases on balls Williams, who
batted so hard Saturday, could not size
up st. Nrain, and struck out. Moran
| scored on a clever steal and passed
ball. Murphy got his base on balls, but
| Donohue was thrown out by Burton,
| leaving three men on bases. In the sec
| ond inning Butte failed to score, but
| added one in the third inning Moran
| led off with a double and scored on
| passed ball and a clever steal Will
| Jams and Murphy struck out and Per-
| ham was thrown out on a bunt to
| pitcher
Helena opened up hard on McDon-
ough in the third inning, piling up five
runs. st. Vrain led off with a clean
hit past short. Arneson hit hard to
second, the ball made bad bound,
passed over Donohue's head, and Arne-
son made three bases before the ball
was back in play, st, Vrain scoring.
Lloyd followed with a two-bagger into
| center field, Arneson scoring, Hammond
knocked another two-bagger into CEN
| ter. scoring Lloyd, and Hammond also
scored on the throw in, which Murphy
let pass him. Burton gained life on
Williams very wild throw to first. Ryan
followed with hit. Condor was re-
tired by Donohue to Gallagher. Good
years sacrifice scored Burton and Mo-
rams catch of Freeman's liner ended
the disastrous inning.
The score remained 5 to 2 in Helena's
favor until the sixth inning, whel.
Butte found st. Vrain's curves and
batted him all over the lot. Williams,
who had struck out twice, allowed him
self to be hit by pitcher, and went
around to third on wild throw by st.
Vrain. Murphy's hit scored him and
the later got to third, on clever base
running and Donohue's sacrifice Sulli-
van batted an easy one to Burton, who
threw to the home plate to catch Muir
ply, but threw so wide that not only
did Murphy score, but Sullivan got
clear around to third. He scored on
McDonough's hit. McDonough stole
second and scored on Flannery's two
Dagger. Moran got a life on a missed
third strike Perham's hit scored Flan-
merry. Gallagher forced out Moran and
Perham was thrown out at second,
closing the inning

Immediately Helena gained the lead
once more by making three runs. After
two men were out Arneson hit safely
and stole second. Lloyd then batted to

him out at first, but threw wild. Arne-
son scored on the throw and Lloyd got
around to third and then scored on
Hammond's hit, and Hammond scored
on Burton's two-bagger.
In the seventh inning Butte again at

the lead again. Williams gained his
