TOR TWO long games of nine in
nings each the Salt Lake and
Lagoon baseball teams batted the
BAH around the diamond yesterday
afternoon in the presence of about 200
fans. who still remain loyal in spite of
The ups and downs of the sport in the
past two weeks. The first game was
taken by the Farmers by a score of
Is to and the second by the White
Wings by a score of 8 to s.
The first game was about as
ragged an article as has been put
up for some time on the part of
the locals, and it reminded one of
lot Of school boys trying to
learn the game on some back lot. The
ball was juggled around the diamond
by the locals in about the same fashion
as a beYy of ancient naidens would
play game of ping pong, while the
FARMERS ran the bases on the least
provocatiOn
1t looked like a game of wood tag
and the Wings were at" Every time
they tried to touch a Farmer the lat
ter liked out for another base, and a
throw to head him off generally re-
suited in another score. Jensen was
on the slab for the locals, and, his
choice selection of shoots was inter
viewed just sixteen times during the
nine innings, everybody taking a fall
out of him except Starkey, who, it was
atterward said, took pity on the locals.
Ills support succeeded in piling I'D

style, the combination giving the La

fully carry away.
The Salt Lakes did all their work
IN the first and ninth innings. bringing
IN fosr runs each time. McCafferty
was on the rubber for the Farmers and
was hit safely eight times. He was
very wild, giving six men free passes

Kelly was put in the box and pitched a
very heady game and was given fairly
good support by the team. Lempke

pitch UP to his usual form, and at that
struck out nine men, The Salt Lake
team was reinforced by Smith and
Castleton, amateurs, and Ernie Asburv.

wet. but in spite of this, handled every
thing that came his way
Both Smith and Castleton put up a
good game, considering that it was
their first offense in the professional
ranks. Smiths great catch of Flakes
line drive in the seventh inning made
a double play possible with the bases
full, retiring the side without a run.
ReDsamen scored a home run in the
ninth, which also brought in Bradley
from first, who had received a free
ticket to that base. The ball was
knocked over in the tree tops in right
held and was one of the longest hits
made this year.
Margetts appeared behind the bat for
the first time this year and caught
good ball The batting honors of the
day easily went TO Husky King. Out

games he got away with eight safe
hits. McCausland hit six times safe
out OF eight times up, and Borchers
six out of nine times up.
