Amateur Pitcher Proves a Winner
for the Local Nine--Game Was
Interesting After Butte's Twirler
Had Been Changed.

Harry Rush, the most likely
amateur twirler ever developed in
the northwest, was the mainstay of
the Indians yesterday and had the
Miners completely at his mercy at
every stage of the game. He
pitched shutout ball all through the
session. 1t should now be in order
to dub Mr.. Rush Kid Rush, be-
cause every time a youngster
breaks into the sporting game and
makes good the least bit 1t is Gus
tomary to call him Kid. However,
this is being overworked of late
and it Is to be hoped Rush will
stick to the old Harry. Along with
the clever work of Rush the In

here, have decided to pull it off in

Athletic club has made a bid for 1t
and 1t Is the plan of the club to
make 1t a great open air affair.
This mill should draw well, as
there are many want to see the
