Inning Against the Sioux In
diaus Thursday.

oSSs -
1858 playea iii tue past eight years
it was supposed that they would eat
no the local team. which has had
but little Practice and has not played
very many games this year. But
they beat out the Sioux by Il score
of 5 to 4.
The canvas wall was erected out
west of the University and With a
comfortable grand stand, Which was
filled with people, a WARM quiet
day. the outlook for an interesting
game was good. The game was called
at a lutte after 4 O'Clock and when
the Mitchell lads scampered out on
the field they were g%iven.a cheer as a
starter to win Brown was in the
box for Mitchell and Porter was at
the receiving END and tie former
started in by tanning yellow Feath-
er. The Sioux scored n in the
first inning by a safe hit to center,
scoring Short Tooth who walked and
came in on High Hawks hit, MIR.
Thank Himself famed.
Fleet Wing went in the box for
the Sioux and the first four innings
Mitchell could not land on him
safely. BE didn't fan any OF the
boys, hut every time they raped
the ball there was an Inaian in
waiting for it, 40 matter whether
it was 10 the air or on the ground.
Only twelve men faced the Indian
pitcher in the first four innings.
The Indians scored two il the
third inning on error in --tbe field
AND 10y poor throwing to bases, the
whole coming in IA bunch. The
Sioux scored again in the fifth with
Good Voice Elk getting to first on
an error and Pine Bird hitting
through the infield and sending the
Good Voice Home. Rolling Thunder
came nearing scoring in this inning
but was thrown out at toe plate.
When Mitchell came to bat in the
fifth the score was 4 to O. 1T was
also the fatal inning for the Sioux.
Rogan was up first aud hit n to
right field, and High Hawk dropped
it. Herman sent another to center
to Short Tooth aud he couldn't
hold it. Then Brown swung three
times and failed but the catcher
dropped the third strike and three
men were OF bases, with no one
out. That looked good, and it was
here that the Indians had an oppor-
unity to show their metal. Priest
came up to the plate and the first
ball that came through struck him
in the jaw, dropping him to the
ground. Priest, however, didn't let
it bother him and with considerable
nerve he trotted dowE to first and
Rogan scored. Wells hit a corAing
hit to the neld, scoring Herman and
Brown, and later Wells scored, max
ing a total of five.
The fans commenced to cheer up a
hit. Nothing was done until the
Indians starte in on their eighth
inning, when the row occurred. Two
Indians were on first and second
bases. when ii hit was made and they
circled the bases. Umpire Dobson
had his eyes on the inner all the
time and when they failed to touch
two of the bases he called them u
after the ball had teen returned to
each base. 1t was plainly evident
to the whole crowd i'll the grand
stand that the Indians jumped or cut
the bases. The Sioux got sore on
the decision, picked up their bats
and YER going to quit. The argu-
ment lasted fifteen minutes, with
the crowd yelling to play bali or
give back the money. The manager
hau gone to town, however, and
there was nothing doing. Ihe In
dams finally consented to Irish the
game. but they did it in a half
hearted way. Neither side scored
after the fifth aud the game went to
Mitchell.
The features OF the game were
lsrown's pitching, in which he
struck out niue of the Indians. and
Blanson's fine game at first, at one
time taking in a grass cutting
grounder. which, had he missed,
would have resulted in a run.
Jim Dobson oliciated with the in
Dictator aud lie had is good eye out
all the time with justice to the In
dams as we'll as to the home team.
Baseball BY Gaslight.
There was not ii very large crowd
out to the evening game, owing to
the unpleasantness in the afternoon.
The grounds were lighted with gaso-
line lights, which were suspended on
a wire about Is feet high, circling
