NOTES.
1t looks as though Peterson had
struck his gait at last. He made two
slashing two baggers and luck was
against him or the last would have
been home run as the ball struck on
the top of the fence and bounded back.
Peterson also fielded his position with
| out an error.
Diamond, for the home team. played
an excellent game. He came in to catch
/ in the second inning without any pre-
liminary practice and deserves great
deal of credit for doing so. He made
a mistake in the sixth inning in not
throwing the third strike quickly to
first, but he waited to be sure and not
make Wild throw and as result hit
the base runner. Accidents of this
kind some times happen. His home
run in the sixth inning went far over
the left field fence.
In the seventh inning Letherby took
Kernan's place in right field, as Herman
had famed each time up. Letherby
went to bat afterwards, but did no bet
ter and struck out.
Townsend made a liue catch OF Gier-
harL's fly in the fifth inning. fairly
picking it off the left field fence. He
was heartily applauded by the specta-
tors for his fine play.
Koll's one handed catch of Lussi's
hit in the ninth was spectacular play.
Had he missed it Hot Springs would
have tied the score.
Newmyer pitched good ball and had
he been properly supported could easl-
ly have won 1t takes the heart out of
a pitcher to have poor backing behind
him, and we hope to see the boys take a
brace from now on and play the ball
that they are capable of playing. A
little more team work and a little less
of trying to knock the ball out of the
field will win more games.
Daily, the old second baseman of the
Deadwood team, played second for
Belle Fourche. but there was an alb.
sence of great deal of the rowdy play.
} good player.
From the standpoint of spectator
it looks as though the umpire gave Hot
Springs the worst of the decisions
J Several times after deciding in favor
} of Hot Springs he reversed himself
after some kicking by Belle Fourche
and gave them the benefit of the decis
ion. Kicking sometimes wins games
and we would suggest that the home
team pattern in this respect after the
visitors.
The exercises at the pavilion consist
ed of a band concert and an oration
The Grafton was delivered by Rev. P
Monroe Smock, and was in the speak.
er's usual happy vein, replete with
good humor and patriotic eloquence
The orator declared that the three
great masterpieces of American gov
ernmental literature we're the Declara
ton of Independence, the Constitu
ton. and the Farewell Address Of
Washington. The first marked out the
bounds of the temple of freedom which
time was to fashion in this new world
the foundations of the temple were
laid by the second; and the third was
the plans and specifications by which
in the judgment of the Father of his
Country, posterity should build the
\ edifice should be erected.
