Game--Play Again Sunday.

About the closest shave that the
Lewistown base bah team ever had
was last Sabbath afternoon when they
crossed bats and mouths with the now
famous Glengary team at the local
grounds on the hill. The local team
| was about the strongest that has been
got together this season and 1t was
thought that they would have little
trouble in evening up a few old scores
with the ambitious youngsters from
the country. But from the very first
| inning it was realized that nothing
the trick.
In fact, it looked mighty blue for the
town boys for the first few innings
and the game would have probably
got away from them had it not been
that the visitors pitcher let down and
before the team could pull together
again, the Lewstown aggregation sent
enough men around the circuit to
| scratch out victory.
The game started off with Glengary
at the bat. The LeWiStoWn boys
promptly went to pieces and allowed
Glengary to score three runs without
any effort, only one hit being respons-
ible for all the scores. The reds could
do nothing in their half, being COM
pletely at the mercy of Pratt, the
Glengary pitcher Some fine fielding
behind the visiting twirler materially
assisted him i'm holding the proud boys
from the city to nothing in the scor-
ing business.
Glengary repeated the dose for four
innings, fine double play, McGinn
right fielder, to Glaspel, catcher, cut
ting off Lochray at the plate, being a
feature of the third inning.
In the meanwhile, Glengary was do
ing something in the scoring business
They added one in the second, were
shut out in the third and came along
with three runs in each the fourth anC
fifth innings. This brought their to-
tai number of runs up to ten and ther,
they stopped as the locals pulled
themselves together and played som,
fine ball. Hendricks got better a.
the game progressed and with his mel
playing good ball behind him, the Wis
itors had little chance.
The LeWistown aggregation started
out to win the game in the fifth. The,
fell on Pratt for four singles and
couple of doubles which combined
with some errors, enabled them to ne
gotate five runs. Pratt then went Il
the timber and Rogers went into tn.
. box in the sixth. The change was dis.
, astrous. Rogers hurt his arm the first
ball he threw and it became necessary
) to shove Monahan in to the center OF
the diamond. Monahan was exceed
} ingly wild and when he did put the
ball over the plate, it was landed on
Before the end Of the sixth innings
LeWistoWn had made six runs which

barely sufficient as they We're unable
to get another during the remaining
