IA TO 0.

The above is the result of yester-
days game. As outlined in yester-
dav's paper. it was evident Durango
would not be in the game Tor min
ute, although the score would nave
been much different if Hills had
pitched from the start. The Ouray
boys went to the bat with Guy Davis
in the box. and with eight tallies in,
two men on bases and only one man
out, the local management had com
passion on the visitors and placed
Hills in the box to save the wind of
the men from Ouray as they, were
getting tired running bases. 1t was
dead easy for the visitors. Davis was
found as though he had just emerged
from a kindergarten school and it is
said the home management VIII give
him a place on the bleachers hereaf-
ter. After Hill went in the box the
visitors got in the two men on bases
but he did not let any of the men fac-
ing him score and this was the case
for the next four innings, when the
aggregation of ball players from all
over the country scored again, also
also in other innings, making totai
of fourteen.
There were several double plays,
two specially on the part OF home
bows, but as none of the home boys
got beyond second base there was no
opportunity to display double plays
on the part of the visitors. Milt Her
rick made a magnificent running catch
Eal stole second nv
a close shave, fast running getting MN
TO first. OF course, the home contin
gent did not expect much against the
Ouray boys, team made up OF pro
fessionals from all over the country
but Hills made them play ball )us'

oURAY 6; SILVERTON 5.

Yesterdays ball game was the most
exciting in Durango for many years
since the days when Stat" Lincoln,
Fatty" Evans and few of Frank War
ren's cranks put in a summer in Du-
range, and Frank went broke against
outside players. In fact, the tension
was so great that many suspender but
tons gave way and one could hear the
palpitation of Ouray hearts as the
mind thought of the wealth that was
at stake, to say nothing of the briny
drops that rolled down the well fed
cheeks of Jack Slattery when the UNI
pre gave decisions that did not suit
and tended to place the aggregation
from Denver and other cities in the
balance. 1t was a great game, how
ever, Notwithstanding numerous er-
rors, two on the part of the third base
man, but Silverton also made some
bad breaks, especially when man on
third was allowed to score when man
on first tried to steal second. The
Herald will not undertake to say what
structure should be passed upon the
umpire. All believe. however that he
was honest in all of them and that he
had no desire to favor one team over
another, although it seemed as though
most of the close decisions were in
favor of Ouray. although some of the
Sliverton kicks were not justified
But then, what would a ball game
amount to where there are thousands
of dollars up II there was not some
kicking. The players must do some
thing to Offset bad playing and as tht
| audience cannot be jumped ~ the um
pire necessarily comes in for th'
whole thing. And what pleasure i
is to be an umpire. Many would pre-
fer to be the ice man in the dead o
winter.
