RETURNED THE
COMPLIMENT
Billings Base Ball Club Defeated by
Forsyth Oh the Formers
Grounds.

syth club at Miles City Thursday and
Friday, they will have to play faster
and less faultless ball than did Bill
lings on their own grounds Sunday,
when they were forced TO submit to an
inglorious defeat by the Forsyth Cham
pions by a score of ten to six. At no
time were the Sheep Shearers prom-
nent factors in the game and the vis-
tors won in "A walk.
Sickler's colts were in superb form,
| playing almost a faultless fielding
game and slugging the ball at opp1r-
tune stages. While Taylor pitched a
good steady game for Billings. he was
hammered all over the lot in the first
inning to the tune of seven scores. Nc
Donald, who twirled against him, held
the shearers down to three hits.
It was great day for the Forsyth
ians collectively and individually.
Every man on the team got into the
game at some stage or other and every
one is entitled to an equal share of the
glory. BY the way, this crowd of the
wool metropolis is the same bunch that
beat Forsyth on the home grounds the
previous Sunday. And it is also lust
as we'll to say at this point that the
Billings team plays fast article of
ball. There can be but one conclusion
according to the dope. Forsyth should
xu;,,o
off the earth in the coming games with
them.
But all this side talk has nothing to
do with the way in which the Buffers
landed on Taylor's drops for divers
hits. The very first ball that the
young man sent mp hit r. Buffers bat
and carried him to second and before
the inning was concluded, he repreated
the act A. Butler did some heavy
work with the wagon tongue, having
made a three base hit and bringing in
two runs.
The weather was all that could be
expected for such an occasion and the
Billings boys certainly demonstrated
their ability as first class entertainers
and good fellows and have established
a good feeling between the two towns
by their generous treatment to the visi-
tors.
