NINGEREE BROCKHoFF rushed
= madiy up to the grand stand yes
terday and asked some obnging
fan TO get a policeman and put the Salt
Lake team out. This was in the eighth
inning. when the score stood Is to in
favor of the home team. and everybody
seemed hitting the bali.
The White Wings had their batting
clothes on yesterday, and the way in
which they punctured the clouds was
something frightful. Mr.. Statuary
Richards was the Infant who got his
drubbing, and all nine of the big
chiefs stick artists seemed to take
especial delight in seeing who could hit
him the hardest. Captain Huston took
the hOnOrs in that line, and out Of six
times up he hammered out five hits,
two being two baggers.
Everybody, with the exception Of
Mayne, who only faced Richards once,
got crack at the ball, and when the
totals were summed mp Il was discov-
cred that the boy from Cache valley
had been touched for just nineteen
safe hits.
Mayne Taken Out.
Mayne started for the White Wings,
but after getting a severe drubbing In
the first and making a bad start in the
second. he was taken out and Nephi
Thomas. the boy wonder, was substi-
tuted 'Neph' did well and allowed
only three hits in the remaining seven
innings.
The game as a whole was a good
exhibition OF what strong, able-bodied
men can do to a leatheF-eOVeFed ball
with a stout hickory stick, after they
once get the range. The fans who like
to hear the resounding whack and see
the small white sphere travel slzyward
missed the opportunity Of their lives
by staying away yesterday, The score
tells the tale. and when a glance at
the error column shows that only
three errors were chalked up during
the game. it does not take a very
strong imagination to figure out what
was done in the hitting line.
There was also considerable doing in
the way of soaking batters with
pitched balls Five different players
learned what IL was to get a crack in
the ribs OF some other part of their
anatomy by five ounces Of leather, yarn
and rubber hurled by a man who is
drawing a salary on account of the
strength OF his arm. Another feature
Of the game was the number of double
plays. Salt Lake making four and Lo-
gan one.
Exceptionally Good Fielding.
The fielding all around was excep-
tionally fine yesterday, and number
of good pick-ups We're made. A total
of three errors in eighty-fOur chances
is not bad work in any old kind of a
league Logan did nothing 20 speak
OF except in the first inning. when two
bases on balls, three hits and one error
brought them in a total of four runs.
In the second Mayne was touched up
for two safeties and hit one player,
with one man out, when Thomas was
called to the slab. Hahn and Taylor,
the next two men up, both men out,
retiring the side. After this Thomas
did not allow a man TO get across the
home plate. Once in the fourth and
once in the seventh one lone Infant
got as far as second base, but this was
the best Stoney's bunch could do.
On the other hand, the White Wings
began operations IN the first and did
good business in the fourth. fifth. sew
enth and eighth. In the third Clifford
played in hard luck After knocking
he tried 90 reach second base on the
hit, bat slipped and fell as he turned
first. Getting up and returning to
first he again started for second, but
was caught a foot off the base.
Borchers Scores on Wild Pitch
In the third Borchers made home
from first on a passed ball. A wild
throw by Richards went over among
the east bleachers, and before Ducky
Pace could find the ball, the big chief.

bases for a tally.
In the fifth is where the real heavy
hitting Of the day came in. Hansford
was the first man up and reached first
on a dinky fly 10 left field. He got sec
