The Kalispell bee. [volume] (Kalispell, Mont.) 1900-192?, 1902-05-31

played their best day before yester-
have been deposited on their lowly |
graves, away back in the tall timber,
on Decoration day.
Jack Lewis with mis- Columbia |
Falls farmers rolled the Grays over
into the burrows mace by their own
fumbling, and covered them up with |
scores, clear out of sight
The game was started out fairly |
well by Manager Moore's graybacks, |
but after the first time at bat there
began a record of errors and bung-
ling plays that caused the Comets
and other juvenile members of the
city baseball tossers to howl in de-
rision. Twice the farmers were shut
out and three times the graybacks
failed to score. All the other inn
ings were marked by the loosest kind
of play-the ball was safe nowhere
except in the umpire's hip pocket.
To have kept an error column
would have required sheet of legal
cap, and this applies equally to both
sides, though the farmers did get in
the most runs. No player on the
home team did anything to cause his
name to be enrolled with the phe-
nomena, but Jack Lewis, captain
and general manager of the farmers.
showed the baseball spirit, and in his
play about the coach lines evidenced
his recollection of earlier days, when
ne didn't weigh 225 pounds and was
entitled to play with the league He
did some terrific batting and his
work at home plate, until he grew
tired, was excellent. The runner
who attempted to lope to the second
bag when Jack had his wind was
treading on dangerous ground. The
farmers outfielded and outbatted the
home team, but were trifie weak
on the scientific points of the game.
Six runs made by the home team in
the last half of the ninth saved them
from double-up, but all these were
made on the rank errors of the farm
| ers, who were about tuckered out
, Milton Walters of Columbia Falls
umpired the game with perfect just
the play, winning nothing but COM
f mendation from the players and au-
; dience.
Fully 1900 people witnessed the
game, and good humor prevailed
throughout.
