more trouble for their opponents
Comparison of the Teams.
Taken as a whole, the Salt Lakes
seem stronger than the Railways. That
was the impression the average specta-
tor gathered from yesterdays exhibit
ton. Both teams are short on collective
work. They have not practiced signals
enough to be thoroughly posted. a
sample of this was given by the Salt
Lakes.
Captain Risley was on second and
McCausland on first when Morrow
came TO the bat. They started TO work
Il double steal and in at least two in
stances had the trick all but turned
when Morrow spoiled it by attempting
to bunt. Had he let the ball go by
either time the runners would have
advanced themselves
The Railways showed their lack of
team work when both Asbury and
Barnes started for the same fly in right
field. 1t was properly Asbury's ball,
but Barnes miStoOk signals or didn
get any and the result was that he col
lided with AsbUry and the ball hit the
ground, while several runners scored.
OF the individual work of the Salt
Lakes there is considerable to com
mend The outfielders, Zietz, McQuade
and Gamble had little to do, catching
only four flies between them, of which
two fell to Zietz. None of the chances
was at all difficult. Hanley appeared
somewhat weak at second. but his err
ror was no more inexcusable than Ris-
ley'S and RiSley is ranked as one or
the most reliable of infielderS. NelS
MargettS might cover more ground at
first Had he been playing a little fur
Their from his bag he might have cut
off one hit yesterday. Morrow had four
chances at first, accepting three of
them with neatness and dispatch. He
is likely to prove a valuable man.
The Salt Lake battery was all that
could have been desired. While the
Railways got more hits off of Webster
than the other side did off Of Beville,
the former was steadier throughout,
allowing only two bases on balls. Nc
Causland caught in his old-time form,
and that is saying all that can be said
of him. He is as good catcher as was
ever seen on the local diamond.
The Railway Outfield is strong
enough to go against any of the teams.
Shanahan, Kimmerer and Asbury had
two putOutS each, but the latter was
deplorably weak with the stick. IN
less the players show better form, the
Railway infieid will have to be
strengthened. This is specially true of
short and second, played yesterday by
Shepherd and Barnes. They accumu-
lated four errors between them on easy
chances. Barnes redeemed himself in
a measure at the bat, but Shepherd did
nothing commendable there. Bert Ma
gets at first and WleCke at third
showed to good advantage. although
the latter is charged with one error
Beville pitched splendidly for five in
nings and then let down. He may show
stronger as the season advances. Pace
didn't catch a particularly good game
His throwing to bases was quite weak
and he had one passed ball. BevilIe was
a hard man to catch yesterday, how
ever. and with a steadier pitcher Pace
ought TO improve in his work. He'll
have to develop his throwing qualities,
though.
