that doesn't begin to tell the story
OF the game. Free hitting was limit
ed to one half of an inning, but that
half happened to be LewistOwn's and
five runs Were piled up in rapid sue
cession. 1t was mighty good thing
they were made just then. too, for
the locals never got another look in,
so far as runs were concerned. Tiers
of seats had been built for spectators,
and the grounds otherwise improved
and big crowd assembled to witness
the game, which was for a stake Of
$500, the teams. however, not being
| interested in that. Before the game
commenced flood of Kendall money
was turned loose and the local
sports were backed clear off the
boards. Gentlemen from the mining
camp paraded up and down in front
of the bleachers shaking fistfulls of
the long green in the faces of the
fans, but they were too confident and
not much betting was done at that
time After the first inning in which
Kendall was shut out and the locals
scored one run. the Lewistown cap
italists acquired a little confidence,
and covered lot of that Kendall mon
ey, and at the end of ,-.e third. in
which Lewistown scored five men, the
local sports fell upon the visitors like
pack of wolves and took the money
away from them in bundles. The Ken
dial sports were game, however. and
put up their coin as long as it lasted.
The Imported Pitcher.
The Kendall team brought down the
imported pitcher Parker, the pride CT
Stockett and it must be said that he
> was there with the goods. I.ewistown
: got one run off him in the first. and
the five big ones in the third were
all made on little hits, with the as
: sistance OF one wild throw. For the
other six innings the locals were
shut out nicely. In addition to this,
; Parker did some remarkable fielding
In one inning he stopped three grass
cutters and put the batters out at
first. Parker's assortment is a var
led one, too, and his delivery proved
. very deceiving throughout nearly all
of the game. Except at one or two
critical points in the game, he receiv-
ed gilt edged support.
Good Team Work.
The Lewistown battery was com
posed of Finnecum and Glaspell. and
they did good work all the way
through. Finnicum was steady, and
although the fans thought he was
weakening in the eighth. he proved
! effective right up to the end. The
