The game vas worth going some dis
lance to see aud the crowd was a
large one. fully appreciatiye of the
exhibition of fancy playing, heavy
hitting and Tree for all mix at the
finish.
The grounds had been fixed up In
first.class condition under the super
vision of Will Bebb and the grand
stand. which had been erected, was
full to overlooking. A wire was then
stretched along the base lines to keep
the crowd off the field and there was
a yelling mob entrenched behind them
during the whole game. In order to
guarantee satisfaction 10 both sides
two umpircs mad been selected, one
from each side. Napoleon Hanke,
the grand old man OF base ball in
Fergus county, did the honors Tor
Lewistown, while Art Billiard oflciat'
ed for Kendall. Everything went
smoothly until the last inning was
reached and il came t. pass that the
Kendall boys mad a batting streak
as usual. The score stood II To q
against them when the inning started,
but they managed 20 get In three runs
and saw visions Of victory. 1t was a
very distant and indistinct one, how

strikes on the man at bat when he
landed on a bali that looked to be

them Just two minutes TO resume play,
but the Kendall boys. who had seen
their fond hopes vanish in the air
refused to play and left the field.
The features OF the game were the
helding of Williams, the pitching OF
Rogers and the hitting Of Bebb and
Art Baker. Rogers was on the hring
line for the INST time against the
Kendall boys and he showed them the
path all the way until the eighth inn
ing, when he rellred in favor of Hen
bricks. He had a good assortment
