Sunday was surely Boulder's day for |
baseball. A game had been arranged |
between the business men of Boulder and |
Basin the former winning easily with |
a score of 2S to 10, and one inning to play. |
The Basin players were Messrs. Hagger- |
ty, Freedom, Harrington. Charles, Leary |
Baraby, Darlington, Stone and Loiselle. |
For Boulder appeared Mcneil, Gaffney, |
Monaghan, Shelton. Wood. Sweet, Leigh
ton. Flaherty and Riede.
Following that was game between the
Butte Juniors and Boulder which was
very close and exciting and was watched
with intense interest by a large crowd.
The Butte club had played here once be-
fore during the season and gave Boulder
a drubbing, so that there was more than
the usual amount of satisfaction when
Boulder won this game by a score of
to 6. with one inning to play. The Butte
Juniors are a frst-class nine, made up
of young and active fellows, who are
strong in team work and very quick and
accurate with the ball. Louie Raymond
was in the box, with Reynolds catching,
but number of low safe hits were made
by Boulder. which won the game. Coppo
in left field, played well and captured sew
eral long ones. LaFontise in center and
rrenary in right did not have much to
10. Foley at third was not up to his US
lal form and was unusually weak at bat.
Smalley at second played an average
game. Austin, shortstop, made the long
est. clear hit that has been made on the
Boulder grounds this season, and Clay
bourne at first is great. Boulder had
Sweet and Shelton in the box and both
were in excellent form. Sweet pitched
four innings, in which Butte made four
'uns in the second. Shelton pitched five
innings, in which Butte took but two
'uns. Dooley, catcher. was way up, and
allowed but one ball to pass him. Others
we're Beckwith, Smith, Ripley, Riedel,
Knowles and Lenning.
