SHUT OUT FOR SHORTS
Heart breaking Tragedy at
Walkers Yesterday.
GIMLINITES PLAY BALL
MEN FROM THE NORTH ROLL
UP SCORE OF 1910.
Standing Of the Clubs.

It is not so very far back into the dim
and misty past that the band of will
low warriors designated as Father
Gimlins tribe. had their old white
suits died a crimson hue. No great
length of time elapsed after the reju-
venated uniforms had been turned over
TO the team by the gentlemen of color
in the ogden dye works before some
YOciferous fan of the bleacher type es-
pied the similarity in color between the
tribe and a palatable denizen of the
deep, and a new name grew UP for the
.aen of the north. They were called
HOLSTERS" 1t was expressive only Of
their suits and they held the title un-
til more worthy aspirants should arise
to claim it
They arose yesterday. The Clippen-
gerites, arrayed in all the finery and
the glory of their new blue uniforms.
must now take unto themselves the
cOgnOmen which the Ogden men have
worn 50 jauntily, and must now bow
to the inevitable and admit that. des-
pite the fact that their outward ap-
pearance is not suggestive of the title,
their ball playing is distinctively of
that kind that Holsters indulge in.
Some of it yesterday would have made
really truly lobster smile, for it was
awful. awful, awful
An Awful Slaughter.
Twelve t. nothing in Ogden's favor
that's the story Of yesterdays Utah
Idaho league game at Walkers field,
and very little need be said. 1t was not
contest; il was not a game. It was
slaughter, tragedy, or anything else
you prefer, but not baseball. One of
the thiTty-third degree boys who would
rather see a good ball game than eat,
and who wcdld prefer far more to wit
ness his own funeral than a bad eXhi-
bition of the national sport, made the
remark after IL was all over that the
Short Lines should get a new player
Tor every cipher in their score of yes
terday. This YVES putting il a little
harsh, perhaps. but it voiced the senti-
ment of the crowd.
The fact that il wasn't a good con-
test was not the fault of the Gimlin-
ties, for they played gilt edged, error
less ball right from the start. Every
man in the game seemed to know what
he was there for and that he was ex-
pected TO play baseball. And that's
Just what every man did, despite the
fact that Cupid Kleiber's crowd and
Jack Meinicke's sluggers, headed by
Bill Martin, the man who thinks to
himself. sat on the TOD seat of the
grand stand and tried hard to rattle
everybody who wore a red uniform.
Clark was in the game particularly
muehly, and three of his catches on
hard fouls were of the brilliant type.
Hansford, too, pitched a swift game,
but seven hits being registered against
him, and all of them being singles. It
was heavy smuggling on the part of
the men from the Junction City, how
ever, that aided more than anything
else in making the score what it was.
Danny Taylor either pitched very poor
ball or those Ogden boys must be con-
sidered as phenomenal batters-per-
haps little of both entered into it.
Barnes Good Work.
There was one spot in the Short Line
aggregation Wnich PLAYED baseball
just one, that's all. Mr.. L. Barnes held
down that spot right ont in the right
garden where the flies don't come any
too often. That is, they have a way
of keeping off the grass in that par
ticular part of the meadow most of the
time, but yesterday they pretty nearly
all went that way, and Barnes was
right where they went. Five put outs
for right field isn't such bad ball play
ing, after all, and these, together with
a beautiful throw which Barnes made
10 llOuIts cutting OIL q run, dlCeQ very
materially in putting his work of yes
terday down in the class labeled way
uD."
There was only one time during the
game when the Clippengerites had any
chance of scoring, and they threw that
away as though they didn't want it. 1t
was in the eighth inning Ramey had
gone TO his base on balls and HOffer
surprised the crowd with a hit. In the
meantime, Ramey had slid around TO
third in a way that shows that he
knows something about the mysteries
of base running.
Then Game came up and the crowd
yelled for just one little single to bring
Ramey in. Game tried hard to comply
but he could do not better than an
easy grounder down to Casey. and that
made three out. In no other inning
did they have a chance to change. one
of those mean-lOOl1ing little ciphers in
