Fridays game started out well and
was anybody's game until the eighth,
when Skibe. who was doing the twirl.
ing for the home team. went up in a
balloon and made an ascent that would
give O'Dell cards and spades. Numer-
Gus errors were partially responsible
for this performance of the pitcher,
but he contributed to the size of the
score by not covering bases in two or
three instances and allowing the run
ners to advance at will. Aside from
this n bad inning Skibe pitched good
ball and might have won his game.
The feature of this game was the hit
ting of Jack Harrington, Lewistown's
long first baseman. Gasman served up
a high n that looked just right to
the tall boy and he met 1t squarely
and drove it to the right field for a
home run. AS usual no one was on
bases and he made the circuit alone.
Not content with this feat he repeated
it the. next time at bat and put the
ball in exactly the same place in the
field. whitney. for the visitors, was

hitting. He is by far the best catch.
er and all round ball player that ever
appeared in Lewistown and the way
he throws TO bases would discourage
a ten-second Splinter from trying to
steal a base. The game ended with
the score 16 TO 7 in favor Of Great
Falls.
The boys went into Saturdays game
with the intention of retrieving them
selves and tried their hardest. but
once more they were up against it.
Warner started in to do the throwing
for the home team and ne lacked his
usual steam and three runs were made
the first innig and two the next. Rog-
ers was suffering from a bad arm as
a result of the game he had pitched
a day or two before and was not In
good shape for another hard game,
but he was sent in to replace Warner.
while Bulbs Billiard took Rogers
place in left field. Rogers was touch
ed up rather heavily, and this coupled
with some bad errors behind him gave
the Mavericks a few more scores.
Sweeney and Dennis had an off day.
although the chances they had were
hard ones and were excusable in a
way. Boggs failed to get his feet to-
gether in center field and allowed n
TO get by him on the ground, which
added one more run.
Whitney was doing the pitching for
the visitors and pitched a steady game.
He uses his head and has perfect con-
troll and WINS out. He caught three
games and pitched two In this series
and seemed good for as many more
without getting tired or having his
arm go back on him. He Is surely a
wonderful ball player and should be
in a big league. The score board show

Sundays game was a repetition of
the day before and was all the Nav
erick's from the start. Bad Judgment
was used in putting Rogers In again,
for he was all in from his other hard
games and the Falls boys landed oft
en-. Boggs essayed to play In center
field but let two balls go through him
and this helped the visitors score to
the extent of two runs Sweeney was
a little off at third and he was shifted
IN center In place of BoggS, and Lind.

combination did not seem to better
matters to any great extent. Hen
