Christis's Bunch Gave HOLSTERS
What Was Coming.
UMPIRE way TO THE BAD
HIS WEATHER EYE NEEDS SER
VICES OF AN oCULIsT.
Standing of Teams.

The canning factory crowd of bah
players got what was coming to them
from Christie's bunch Of beauties at
the ball park yesterday The Maroons
are ike the Indian inasmuch as they
never forget an injury, and the scan
dalOus treatment received at the hands
Of the HOLSTERS last Sunday was still
fresh in the memory of the local bunch
as they faced their rivals in yesterday s
game. ogden tried the old game Of
starting the balloon in the ninth, and
It must be confessed that for a minute
or two there was a large Sprinkling of
fans IN the grand stand and bleachers
that held their breath, when Bert Mar
gets faced the batter for the Holsters.
Bert was a Lobster yesterday and pc
haved himself very satisfactorily
IS, for those who wanted to see the
home team win.
Manager Binford was short a man
on account Of the illness Of Jensen. and
was given Bert to help him out. When
Margetts faced the pitcher in the ninth
there was enc out and two men on
bases. A hit at this stage would have
tied the score and 1Iargetts nearly
gripped the bat handle in two as he
swung on the ball high fly to
Heusser, however was the best Bert
EOuld do. 4-SGuatty" Scott came up
next and hunted a little one dOWD7~eO
Camp and was easily retired at first
and then the Salt Lake fans felt easy.
Camp Did Good Work.
This was the only time that the
Weberites had a look in excepting the
first four innings, when il was a toss
up Camp did the twirling for the
locals and redeemed himself in the eyes
Of the fans. while Big Fullmer did the
pitching for the visitors. Camp was
hit the more freely of the two. but the
hits were scattered and did not do the
damage, while the cOllegian had all the
best Of it on the strike-outs.
Ogden's first and only run was given
1t by the umpire. who allowed Scott
to walk in home on q dead ball. How
ever, in justice to the northern boys
il must be said that the HOLSTERS would
have gone the run anyway, as two safe
hits were made after the incident. A
hit by Kimerer and a CwO-bagger by
Egan, coupled with a sacrifice by
Spaulding, MahOney's muff Of Camps
high infield fly, and q long caught fly
to left field by Brynes, gave salt Lake
her two runs in the fourth inning. The
MarOOns scored again in the sixth on
Byrnes hit, Camps sacrifice and
Narshall's error.
Work Of the Umpire.
In speaking Of the game it would
not be just to overlook the work of
Umpire Ferguson. in fact many
thought it the principal feature Of the
game. His decisions against the home
team were something fierce. Not only
on balls and strikes was his eve away
10 the bad. but his decisions on bases
were enough to make local fan want
TO leave his happy home The grand
stand and bleachers were in favor of
burning him at the stake, but wiser
heads prevailed and they let him off
with a good roasting
However, in justice to Ferguson It
must be said that he acknowledged
after the game that he was away TO
the bad, and had on several occasions
given Salt Lake the worst of it unin-
tentionally. He said he had made sew
eral mistakes by giving his decisions
too soon, but that he would not change
them afterwards. The summary:
