Notes of the Game.

When Pace advanced to the bat and
scored the first base hit of the season a
fan asked who he was. The person ad-
dressed said he did not know, but when
the gold was first discovered in Cali
fOrnia Pace was there playing ball, and
ahe managed to beat them all out with
Tthe stick ever since.
Bert Margetts was little slow with
that think of his once or twice yesteT-
day, but was there with the stick.
When Bert stepped to the bat he began
to guy Webster and Immediately af
terward the ball found a large hole in
his bat. Then the crowd guyed Bert,
and the next ball found his stick
square on the face. Somebody shouted
shut the gate" and Margetts legged
it for three bases before stopping. 1t
was the only three-base hit of the
game.
Gamble has been doing but little talk
ing about what he would do to the
enemy when they first met, and won
the admiration of the crowd yesterday
by his work in the right corner. That
long fly of Shanahan's was a two to
one shot for a twO-base hit, but Gam
BILE, by a fine exhibition of leg work,
beat the ball out and retired his man.
Captain Kimmerer was greeted with
the greatest applause of any player on
the field when he first stepped to the
bat. He played a good, heady game,
but got a little off the track at one
time.
When Asbury and Barnes tried to put
each other out OF the business on that
touch up into right field, a word from
the captain would have saved the first
run. kimmerer in center field should
have called the player to receive the
ball and charged him with an error if
he failed to catch it. This was the
first break made by the Railways in
the game, and from that point on they
went to pieces
Mana oooJ
crowd OF players with the stick, but is
very weak on part of the infield. OF
course, the men have had no time to
practice together, but nevertheless
some of the work would not pass in an
amateur team. If this part of the nine
is strengthened then look out for a
pennant winner.
That left-handed catch of Captain
Risley's was the brightest feature of
the whole game. The ball left the bat
with terrific speed, and but for the
wonderful jumping ability shown at
that critical moment by the captain,
would have been good for a base hit.
The catch brought forth yells from the
grand stand and bleachers and won
fame for the captain at the very open
ing of the season. Risley admitted af-
ter the game that he was as much sur
prised as the grand stand when he
discovered the ball lying safely in his
NIT.
Hawley arrived in the city yesterday
and warmed up at the grounds before
the game commenced. Several of the
fans stated that his speed is something
marvellous and the ball comes over
the plate about the size of a pea He
VIII have a chance at Meinecke's
Miners today.
The first five innings were as good
an exhibition of baseball as ever seen
in the city, but a screw broke in the
Railway team and the score tells the
rest.
The Salt Lake team looked as if they
had just stepped from a handbook in
their bright new cTeam-coIOred uni
forms, but wait until Clips team is
equipped with the heirogIyphics of the
different trunk lines represented on his
team.
Griffins smile after the game was
over would have moved a stone wall
Umpire Hughey Smith was not on to
the new rules very well, but whenever
he got tangled in his decisions the
rooters in the grand stand quickly in
formed him of his error. That calling
of foul ball strike seemed to be the
worst sickler for HUghey. and he
went wrong several times before he fin
allX got next
