case Of Caircross, in the sixth inn
ing. Two men were on bases, and
hit of any kind would have meant
run, but the best Cairncross could do
was to make three wild and ineffec-
tual swipes at. the elusive leather
sphere and sit down. His out made
the third, and the side was retired.
Cairncross and Reinking were easy
meat for Slack, as he struck out the
former four times, and the latter
three times.
Both sides put UP fine article of
ball, and barring the first inning, the
game was the best ever played on the
local diamond. The Grays made one
in the second and were then blanked
until the eighth, when they made one
more, but that was the best they
could do, and they were again shut
out in the ninth, making their total
four.
The Leaguers collected six in the
first, blank in the second, one in
the third, blank in the fourth and
fifth, one in the sixth, and blanks in
the seventh and eighth. They did
not need their half of the ninth and
quit with total of eight runs. The
Grays have no need to be ashamed
of the game they put up, and it is to
be hoped that another game can be
arranged for in the near future Hill
| tons team is a good one, and if he
can keep it together will be a hard
one to beat. Cyclone" Thompson,
one of the pitchers of the Helena
| League team officiated as umpire for
the first part of the game, but with
| only Indifferent success. Some of his
first base decisions were very raw,
but his eye for balls and strikes was
good. E. A. Logan officiated as UNI
pire for the last few innings, after
Thompson mad quit, and was salts
factory to both Sides
The Races.
The races at the track were COM
menced before the close of the ball
game, and were continued until about
Z o'clock. There was the usual delay
in getting the race started, but every
thing went off smoothly and no acct
dents of any kind marred the day.
The first race was mile heat, best
two in three, for stations, and was
won handily by Robbie D., E. A. Cole
owner and driver, in two heats, in
1884 and 2:49 3-5. E. E. Kelley's
bay horse Goldie, driven by Mr.. Kel-
ly was the other contestant.
Tho half milo r,1nninor rooo r,oe o,o
of the best of the day and was won
in two heats by Alley Nc, owned by
e. A. Cole. Angus McDonalds Glen
coe was the other contestant, and put
up game fight, but it was outclassed
and the race was never in. doubt The
time of the two heats was SO seconds
each.
The mile free for all trot and pace,
best three heats in five, was a walk
away for Arthur Larivee's Charley
S. This horse had the race won at
all times, and it was only a process
sion from start to finish. Ovando,
owned by Harness and Gangner took
second money. The three heats were
made in 2:38, 2:37 and2:34 Charley
>. has been racing for a good many
years, but is a hard one to beat in
a pacing race.
The quarter mile race, best two in
three, was the most exciting and
holly contested race of the day.
There were several entries, but the
race proper was between Blackfoot,
owned by Angus Mcdonald and
Cayuse Maude, owned by Ed Phoe-
nix. The first heat was won by
Cayuse Maude, after a whipping fin
ish, and the second heat was won by
Blackfoot by nose, the two horses
coming under the wire almost to-
gether. The third and deciding heat
was also won by Blackfoot. The
three heats were prettily contested
and aroused the spectators to a high
pitch of enthusiasm.
The races were finished shortly
| after o'clock, and the coming rain
storm speedily emptied the grounds
of the spectators.
