to the game with a grim determine
ton to do their best and at the close
of the nine innings the score stood
six to four in favor of Lewistown.
The game was a fast one and en-.
tirely free from the usual objection
able feature of fighting the umpire
and each other. Fred Anderson UNI
pired the game and kept things NOV
ing so that the whole affair only oc'
cupied two hours. Rogers pitched q
good game throughout and the work
of the inield was gilt edged. Stout
played short stop for tue first time in
his career and made good, accepting
three hard chances in faultless style

that came in his neighborhood, while
the double play by Hendricks ant
Foley in the ninth inning was one OF
the fastest pieces of work that hat
been e on the grounds.

they went to bat, but in the third inn
ing the miners got busy and scored
man with two clean hits. Lewistowr
failed to get their eyes on the bal
and the score stood one to nothing
against them until the sixth. Warner
had been putting up an assortment O
Blenders and fast ones up to that tint
that had the boys from the count!
seat guessing. In the sixth, however
Hendricks solved the combination ant
placed a clean single vyer first base

let Bill Bebb's ground hit go through
him, a thing which Is so uncommon
as to aus comment, and with tn,
