THE BALL GAME
| he Carson Nine Retricvcs
Lost Honors by a Score
Of is to Il

Sundays ball game between the Vir-
ginia Reports and the Carson nine
brought several hundred people to the
race track to witness the contest. The
ComstOck was well represented as was
Carson and the surrounding valleys.
The day was splendid with just enough
breeze to make it cool.
Umpire Meder called game about
2:30 O. clock with Virginia at the bat.
From the first inning to the last one
the Reports were fairly outclassed in
every particular. Evans, their lido
pitcher, was an easy prey for the Car
son boys who found his curves quite
oftener than the Comstockers had
! looked for. Vail, the Carson pitcher
tossed a remark able game and was MOI
to be ratified by the rooters from the
| Comstock. He displayed his talent il
the last inning by 'faDning'' two mer
when sorely needed.
The score OF the Reports was heavily
increased by errors on the part of the
Carson team, which if they had not
occurred, would have meant nearly a
shut eut for the Virginia team. AS i,
was the score was 16 to Il in Carson's
favor with the last inning unplayed
Before and after the game the visit
ting team was banqueted and the
members seemed to enjoy the hospital
ity bestowed upon them by Carson.
All in all the Reports were compelled
to doff their hats to the superior judg
ment and skill of the Carson team.
