Y VERIFYING comes to him who
waits, Is a maxim that holds good
in baseball as well as in other
walks of life. For many days Big Chief
Borchers has patiently sat by and
watched his team OF White Wings 90
down to defeat. Many are the times
when they should have won their
games, bat luck and all the world
seemed TO be against Borchers. Yet
never once did he falter, but manfuIIy-

Yesterday the game started out as
IL frequently has Of late. even the fates
against the locals. The big chief sat on
the bench and with dim eyes watched
the Ogden team slowly but surely gain
lead that could mean but one thing
another defeat for the team he has so
carefully fathered for the past two
months. As he sat there silently chew
ing the end Of a Havana, perhaps the
big chief thought of the past when the
very mention of his name electrified
the crowds and wondered why times
had changed.
The Big Chief Ponders.
Could it be that he no longer held
that cunning in his strong right arm
that had sent the hardest batters to
the bench after a vain effort to find
his puzzling curves? Could II be that
he, the one time master of them all.
had at last run his course and now
must sadly take his place in the rear
and watch others do those things he
was wont to do?
The game neared its end and yet the
big chief made no move as If to stem
the tide Of certain defeat. Then came
the ninth. A look at the score board
showed the hateful rivals from Ogden
in the lead by the score of II to 3.
Adams, the new catcher recently i'm
ported from California, took the bat
for salt Lake and a two Dagger landed
him on second. The big chief started
for an instant at this turn of affairs
and then returned to his musings as
Margetts struck out. Brockhoff
stepped UP and sending a safe one over
10 left field scored Adams. As Father
Kelly slowly stepped to the bat, the
big chief was seen to stand on his feet
with half expectaut look on his face
Bang, two Dagger sent Brockhoff to
third and Kelly safely reached second.
Borchers Himself Again.
In an instant Borchers was himself
again. His whole appearance changed
and hurriedly giving orders, Borchers
walked to the plate to bat in Jensen's
place. The crowd wondered as the big
chief stepped to the bat and with him
scented victory. The first ball over
was met sQuarely and landed out Of
reach i'm middle right field. The hit
cleared the bases.
IL was a signal for victory. The big
chief at the last moment had started
a stampede that could not be stopped
He. the much knocked manager Of the
local team. had at the right moment
begun the work that would stop the
victorious career of the invincible Og-
den team.
Up came McNichols and reached first
on a free pass. Jack Illusions three
bagger again cleared the bases. The
score now stood: Ogden, II; Salt Lake
10. Schils hunted to Casey and the
Ogden second baseman tried vainly to
head Huston. off at the home. but failed
by inches and the score was tied.
The effort exhausted the locals and
they were retired without doing fur
Their damage.
Ogden Did Nothing in the Ninth.
ogden came up for the last half Of
the ninth but beyond getting Ferris on
second could do nothing. Salt Lake
came up for the tenth strong and con-
fident of victory. Margetts reached
first on q hit and Brockhoh's sacrifice
sent him to second. Kelly's hit scored
Margetts and BOrChers again came to
the bat. Bang. a long drive 70 right
scored Kelly. Neither McNichols nor
Huston could score BOrChers and the
side retired two runs TO the good.
Casey came up first for Ogden and
reached first on BrOckhOh's error. Gin

struck out and Clark sent a fly to
Brockhon. who muffed it. but picked il
up in time to catch Gimiin at second,
