After playing corner lot ball for the
games with Salt Lake team, the Indians
yesterday threw off their lethargy and
played the greatest game of ball ever
seen on the Natatorium park grounds.
If that sort of playing is kept up that
grandstand will not hold the crowds.
The Saints played in just as good form
rs the Indians, only the latter were
just the least bit staedier in the box.
Willie Hogg was never in better shape
his support gave him confidence, and
he went in and did things to the Nor
mons who have in the past made the
Indians go some to keep even within
sight of them.
Kid Tozier, the Mormon twirler,
proved host in himself up to the
eighth inning, when he allowed one
redskin to steal home and then in the
ninth pinch hit by Stanley gave him
three-bageer and he not only made
the three sacks, but earned two runs.
In Stanley's coming to the home plate
occurred the funniest stunt that ever
happened on this or any other ball
field.
Stanley Plays Leap Frog.
Matt, you know, is strictly three
quarter man. He can run clear around
the bases at reasonable gait, but
when he raped out that three-bag-
ger in the ninth it alone was enough
to wind him, as he is not used to doing
those things, particularly when he wins
his game at the same time. However,
when Matt landed on that ball he
didn't stop to collect his wits, but
set out on a mad gallop and mechani-
oally ran around the bases to third,
scoring two men In the meantime the
ball was being 6elded back from deep
center and by this time the Mormons
were more excited than Brigham nego-
tiating over one of his jealous wives
and in fielding the ball they passed it
in to second base. When the mighty
Matthew reached the third sack he
didn't stop, but following the advice
of his eoacher he lit out for the home
plate. But poor Matt had shot his
bolt and run his little race at third,
and was all in. When abut half way
to the home plate his legs gave ont
and the bold catcher of the Indians
sank to the ground and would have
been laying there yet if it had not
been for the timely assistance of Man
ager Reilly. who was doing a maniaci-
cal stunt on the coaching line at third.
Chawles saw Matt's predcament and

Hot Game Today.
The game this Afternoon shoul be the
hottest ever. 1t is to see whether it
was the speriority of the Mormons or
the laXity of the work of the Indians
which won the first three games of the
series, In all probability Sailor"
Loucks will do the twirling for Spo-
kane and the long and limpy Jimmy
Wigs vii do the artistic work for the
Saints. "Choimes" has been in good
shape the last few games. He says
he's commencing to feel his oats and
before long he will do things to the
Indians never seen on the grounds
before. But the mighty one is only
talking.
1t has struck the fans quite forcibly
that there was noticeable absense
of that batty individual who styles
himself the Occur d'Alene poet" He
has proven a very thorough hoo-doo
to the Indians up to date. The game
today will be called at 3 o'clock sharp.

Surrender at once to the army fair,
That crowds upon his knee and chair
And spin a yarn of some southern fray
And this is what he had to say:
you've read at your school, of Win
chester town.
With its good broad roadway leading

And how through the flush of the
morning light
A steed as black as the shades of night
Came rushing on with an eagles flight
Who brought us Sheridan all the way
From Winchester down to save the
day.

A tale of a beast rode by Dennis
OToole.
A steed without record of dam ortsire
Nor had he a soul fed with furnaces
fire,
But oats-just plain 'oats-werei his
hearts desire
And many a time, mid the roar of the
fray
This homely old steed slept the hours
away.

And back and forth was the conflict
waged,

Chickamauga was raging and Billy's
blood leaped
Like tigerish thing.
He fllipped at death where the dying
were heaped,
He offered his breast to its sting.
But the shell turned away and the
bullet sped wide,
Till there came an advance
And a brother-in-ar whispered close
at his side,
Hey, Billy, my boy, here's your
chance,
Charge ahead at the word and forget
to come back.
A dozen good men
Will swear You were captured while
leading attack
And fig for the court-martial then"
For moment the blood smothered
close at his heart
And deserted his face,
As he fought the temptation which
rose at the smart
OF the thought of his waiting dis
grace.
Then Forward" and wildly he led
the attack.
And then? Did he lag?
Did he throw down his gun? Or who
was it brought back
An enemy's shot-tattered flag?
