The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1905-06-08


All conditions heretofore existing at Natatorum park
when Father Matt Stanley and ''Dad' Gimn met
reversed yesterday and the from Utah fairly
smothered by batting streak of the NUNS. But for
unucky sun streak in Lewis eyes it would have been
shutout for Ogden.
The game was in the first inning in which father
Matt pappooses landed the dumpyups of Mr. Hast
ngs pitcher with recklessness and hit and run system
which made the tnies of ineld flies good for bag
There eight hits and runs in that first in
ming for the tribe When up to the plate
and over to the initial Gmln sgnaed Hastings out Of the
box and Castleton substituted Two hits came
from the lengthy pitcher who allowed before
the game was completed. Il
1t was an Indian day all through and only the fierce
work OF the little whrwnd shortstop Bresno of Ogden
saved additional hits being recorded Bresino work
undoubtedly the most sensational the season and the
tiny shortsto pts entitled to great credit.
How in the world the Spokane stickers ever grasped
the willow idea to the extent they did, is mystery. Even
SWAIN whose work in the center pasture has been his sal
walton because Of worth at the stick went in Yesterday
and batted like imp The only man who didn't get
hit in the tribe yesterday FeXus Nartinncus who
generally is good for two The first inning showed
batting all around and gave Raymond his second hit in
one inning-wic hit by the way he threw off in an in
sane attempt at stealing second.
It if there will never be a fixed knowledge in
the heads of the tribe that Hansen bad man to try to
steal second and that in this respect he has few peers
the game But they keep to it just the if
with bum whip back of the rubber-and invariably
lose out.
The hit and run feature of the game made it lively
despite the big on one side and all through there
was lively excitement owing to the belief that Ogden would
get down to batting and pile up the Mclnnes
there with the goods however, and backed up with
less fielding, able to hold down the hard htters
McRae did much better yesterday and in only one or
two instances playedo' his balls and strikes which
have been the worst feature of his work heretofore
Defeated four times within twelvemonth Young Cor
belts aspirations to reesabsh himself at the top of the
pugisc heap have gone glimmerng and of the
picturesque characters that the Queensbury game
knew has passed to the shelf especially reserved for top
nochers 1t almost criminal that this should be So
for gamer cleverer boxer pulled glove. To
his disregard for the laws of nature Corbets down
fall is due Physically and fnancitly he has ruined him
self The redlgts and the ponies have robbed him of
power and and today he finds himself little better off
than he before he dreamed of meeting and CON
quering Terry McGovem He has had good time as
good times in the fast world and he is paying the
penalty. Instead of wearing the Of the feather
weights and nursing comfortable bankro Corbett has
lost all his laurels we'll the thousands he earned in
the ring Instead of being able to command fat purses he
will have to himself with the modest sums that are
the portion of the second and third -rater
There still number OF good fights in COrbett but
he hope to cope successfully with men
He has all of his old ceverness and gameness but his
punch is gone his generalshp has deterorated and his
Ispeed is little than memory But with all that he
lis not all inn by any Too much wine has left his
stomach in condition where it longer withstand
the effect of hardy punch He has gone the of many
another fighter and has no one to blame but himself.
