ELDER T0zER
WINS HIS GAME
Pitcher Hits in the Deciding
Run.
OUTCOME EVER A GUESS
FIRST OF SERIES PROVES A
CLOSE CONTEST.

Brother Tozer is entitled to the chief
credit for the initial victory at home, not
alone because he pitched a splendid game
of ban, but because he hit home the win
ming run in the eighth inning.
II was good enough game OF ban for
anybody after the Elders got the dope out
Of their systems, the removal OF the same
taking place about the third inning. But
the result was ever matter of large
speculation by reason of the attenuated
build Of the lead The odds see-sawed in
marvellous fashion. considering the pau
city OF runs. The Iniuns grabbed the bust
ness in the first inning lost IL in the sec
ond, took il back in the third. lost II in
the fourth. tied II up in the eighth, lost
u again that inning and never got II
back In the contamination of which
there was much good excitement
Serious Bill Hansen was one of the
largest heroes Of the foughten field. Three
OF the runs were borne to the caoutchouc
by Bill. each OF che three being incepted
by swats from his trusty ckQpstick. The
Iirst was single and the others were
doubles Also was Bill a sworn aveuger
on the track Of the fouls. Three of them
ne snaked down out Of the blue. al hard
chances, one notably so. The gentleman
Of much seriousness was compelled 10 run
away past the bench, fOrsooth. IN order
70 establish his claim to one Rockenfield

The result of all this was much adula-
ton aimed at Bill by the faithful few,

well and was relieved for the second. The
relief provoked a twitched eyelid, preS-
naut with dark meaning. from ChleI
OReiliy. who forthwith proceeded 10 get
noisy. The chief was laying off yester-
day because Of the wallop McFarlan iaid
on him IN Boise. Not having to use ms
hands and feet, the chief brought MS
pipes into play, but wearied of the unre-
quilted toll about the midst of the game
and repaired 10 his wigWam in the shade.
The chief and his bloOdthtrsty band as
covered 10 their woe that Elder -1OHEA
although not man Of the world, yet had
a few of the wiles of the tempter ana

But the play, the plays the thing.
Shifting It Around
Attorney Ferris, first up IN the game,
waited for aft and got promoted to the
first hole free Of charge Bill carney

Rockeufield hit him home
Nothing Of vital Importance followed
until the last half Of the second, when
the Injuns got the fuZZy-vizzIes- With
two gone Serious Bill drove one to safety
and sneaIed second. Mathew Stanley
projected the hide wild to catch Bill; It
went afield and Bill gleefully skipped 10
third. Delmas drew free-fOT-HotnIH8
walk ana he likewise, liked for second.
Rocky ran up TO get the snort throw,
which proved not sufficiently short, so
that Delmas was safe, while Bill Ion0Iy
caressed the rubber with his off front
foot. This was not all. Delmas felt am
bilious enough TO start for third MuL-
and threw. presumably for third, but IN
reality for the fence, which enabled Del
mas to win home.
This put the Elders one to the good, but
the Injuns hung il back on the nome
talent again in the third Ferris again
rambled and took second when Fred
Weed lost CaTney's fast one With two
aborfcines on the cushions RoCkenfietd
smashed a dirty double, safe by mile
into left middle and two Injuns scored
An Audacious Old Man.
The complexion of affairs changed again

wholly unnecessary bit OF business, as
proved, but nevertheless much appre-
ciated- Clark couldn't transact successful
business with what Bill Damraa1n was
willing to give him and went out, but
Serious Bill smacked one for Two and

Thus It went until the eighth Then

situation looked g trifIe gloomy until
Forsythe the new InjUn, hit one to GIN
and ended the inning
Serious Bill brought in the run that pat
