GlENGARY TEAM WINS.
Farmers Prove Too Fast for the Lew
istown Players.

19toWn Players.
A big crowd witnessed the ball game
between Glengary and Lewistown
Sunday afternoon, and the result was
a big surprise. Everyone knew that
Glengary had strong team, but no
one expected the visitors to win by
such a score as was marked up at
the close Of the game-15 to s. The
result was due to better team work
on the part Of the visitors. In gen.
eral way, the Lewistown men played
good ball, and many of the plays were
really brilliant, but they did not work
consistently. They displayed a ten
dency to go up in the air at the slight
est provOcation, and every incident of
for Glengary. The visitors refused to
get ratified and played with the stead
mess of leaguers through every pinch.
Dick Baker and Grippe formed the
battery for Lewistown for the first
five innings, and were fairly effective,
although the Glengary men were able
to rap out long hits at every pinch.
For the latter part of the game, Car
Teton and Ed. Baker went in for Lew
istOwn, and during couple of in
nings the former Helena pitcher prov.
ed an enigma to the Glengary boys.
They got onto his curves at last, how
ever, and all hands took swipe at
the ball, batting out everything from
home run to singles.
Pratt and Glaspill formed the bat
terry for Glengary during most Of the
game, Rogers going into the box for
the visitors during the last two in.
nings. The latter played a fine game
throughout, and good many people
wondered how he came to be playing
with Glengary.
JEFF Johns was the umpire and gave
perfect satisfaction to all except the
few noisy ones who wanted all the
rulings in favor of one side or the
other, regardless of the merits Of the
case. jeff has forgotten more about
base ball than most of those noisy
ones ever knew, however, and his rul-
ings stood.
Lack of team work was wholly re-
sponsible for the defeat of Lewistown.
Individually, the local men are better
players than those who wore the Glen
gary uniforms, but these farmers work
like piece OF machinery, and that
is where their strength lies.
Lewistown will play the Moore team
at Moore on July Fourth.
