iting fans but by the home contingent
The lineup OF the Gold King was
the same as published Saturday, but
| there were two changes in the Silver
Lake team-Grayson and Miller OF
0uray-the first playing third base and
pitching the last inning. and Miller
| shortstop.
There was much wrangling during
| the game. the Gold King boys finding
fault with the nmpiring OF the man
| from Silyerton-did not learn his
name-and refusing to continue with
, him after the second inning. II was
| finally decided to call in DR.. Turrill
10 assist, one to look after base run
ming, and the other TO call balls. Grant
| ing that the Silverton man meant to
| be Just, the big majority of those
present are satisfied that his decis-
ions favored the Silver Lake team in
| every instance except one.
The Silver Lakes were first at the
bat And the batsmen were retired
in one. Two. three order, none reach
ing first base The Gold Kings Jared
some better, but only succeeded in
getting TWO men on bases. one as far
as second. In the second inning the
Silver Lakes made two runs. at least
one of them on errors OF the opposing
team, and In our judgment both runs
were unearned The Gold Kings on
their side were easy prey. the first
man going ont on fly, the next reaching
first base, while the next made 1t pos
sible for double play.
Silver Lake then made two more
runs in the third inning, one by bad
throw to home plate. The Gold King
boys added another goose egg, and both
sides failed to score In the 4th. In the
fifth inning the Silver Lake boys were
retired In short order without scoring.
And the fans were given an oppOrtun-
ity to cheer and blow their trumpcts,
the crowd easily being with the black
and yellow colors. The last half was
full of interesting plays, and when the
last man was called out four runs had
been made, with men on bases at the
close. In fact, at one time 1t looked
good for half a dozen runs. The sixth
and 7th innings added goose eggs TO
both sides In the eighth the Silver
Lakes scored another run, giving them
a total of to 4 for the Gold Kings.
The last half of the inning afforded
those of good lungs another opportnn-
ity of giving vent to their feelings 1t
really did look good for three or four
runs, as two men scored with only one
man out and others on bases, but fate
willed otherwise. In the ninth the
Silver Lakes failed to score. This
made 1t necessary for the Gold King
boys TO get one more run to tie and
two to win, and they set in to do so.
The first man at bat found himself up
against new pitcher, Grayson of on
ray, but he succeeded in making first
and second on the next mans single.
who reached first. The next man went
out The interest was great at this
point Milt Herricll being at bat He
finally succeeded in landing n single
overhead of shortstop. making first
easily. while the runner on second
hiked for home. II seems that Parker
interfered by running ahead of the run
ner in order to fool the catcher, the
real base runner making home plate in
safety, Dr. Terrill decided the man
safe. but the other umpire. who was
looking after the base running called
the man out This resulted in long
wrangle, and looked as though the
game would end in n row Not only
was the runner called out but the man
on first, who had made third, and Her
rick, who had made second, were each
SET back base. The Gold King boys
are confident If the two mentioned had
not been set back they would have
at least tied the score. AS 1t was, the
men only advanced one base when the
side went out.
1t was 6 O'Clock when town was
reached, and the train slated to pun
out at 6 was 25 minutes late. The
Herald trusts the visitors enjoyed the
trip and we hope to see them again.
