all absorbing topic of conversation
among the many fans who attended the
contest at Walkers s field between Che

is heard for all members of the EureEs

tlon but that each of these pitchers
handled themselves in superb fashion.
Entitled to First Honors.
To Heusser is due the FIRST honors
IN the line Of pitching in the closing
games OF the postseason series for the
championship and trophy. He occupied
series in this city, which went to ten
innings and tie score Of / to l,
as we'll as in the final and deciding
game on Monday, when he and his sup,
porters rolled up score of l6 to 2
against the Summit county bunch.
It is, indeed, a certainty that if base
ball managers of tho middle and
Eastern States come West prior TO
the opening of the ball season next
spring they vii not overlook Heus-
ser. AS matter Of fact, it is a
that Heusser has not already been
"copped out' by one of the Middle
States or Eastern teams. Despite the
fact that they would regret his loss,
the local fans woulL like to see some
one of the big baseball magnates given
some attention to him, as they appre-
ciate that Heusser possesses great poss
sibilities as a slab artist, He throws
with great speed, and is the manipu-
lator of most effective. "spit ball. "
He executes a curve that, in the opinion
OF many local fans, is vastly superior
TO that of many of his contemporaries,
it being exceedingly wide with a fast
break.
Graves a. Promising Pitcher
Graves is also Utah boy who is
likely TO come III for some corsidera.
tion as a pitcher from managers of
slab in the second game Of the double
header Sunday afternoon, which went
five innings, and in which Eureka
scored a shut.out against the Park
City boys He also pitched part OF
the first game OF the double'header,
and in both sessions did some eXcep-
tionally good work, Graves is pitcher
who has good control and equally good
speed, His most effective ball is an
undeThand, which. when 1t leaves his
hand, raises and theu drops quickly as
il passes the plate. He also does telling
work with a fast in shoot, which IS de-
livered by side arm motion
Reed is fast improving IN his pitch
ing. and is attracting considerable at
tention among local baseball en-
tbusiasts. He has fair control and ex-
cellent speed. He is seen to his best
advantage when he throws a curved
bslI which executes a short. fast break
al the plate, shooting away from
rioht-hand hitter. Reed pitched the
major portion of the first game Of the
double-header Sunday afternoon. and
his work kept his opnonents guessing
and their hits well scattered
