Out az the Last Moment

With the score standing Ave TO three
IN favor OF the Bankers in the last half
OF the ninth inning yesterday afternoon
the city and county team finally won
the day by a timely hit from the most
unexpected quarter, which was the
means Of scoring three runs, giving
the officials victory by the score OF six
10 FIVE. This result was also partly due
10 two errors Of high price. The city
and county nine now flaunt the banner
OF amateur championship OF Salt Lake
and are incidently spending 500 that
figured in the contest. The game,
though amateur was better In many
RESPECTS than any OF the professional
games nlayed IN this city during the
present season-such is the consensus
Of opinion among the spectators.
What made the contest so interesting
lies IN the fact that il was more than
for money or championship honors, It
was, so to speak, for blood. Each menu
Der Of both teams went into the game
with the determination to win. The
crowd In attendance was not large but
thoroughly appreciatlve and the root
ing was worthy OF three such crowds
IN point Of numbers.
The star players were Romney for the
men of money and Castleton, who held
down short for the officials Brig.
Smith did the pitching for the city and
county crowd and although he pitched
a swift ball he was not cool like young
Romney.
But speaking OF the game II was won
thusly: In the last OF the ninth the off,

Bert MarRetts. who sent a nice one
down to short and went out amid
