HONORs WERE EVEN.
Montpelier and Soda Springs Each
Won a Game---Soda to Play
Here Sunday.

The Montpelier ball team returned
from Soda Springs last night feeling
pretty good. 1t is true, they got their
scalps lifted on the Fourth, but they
returned the compliment to Soda yes
terday and honcrs are therefore even.
The first five innings of Wednesdays
game was fast and furious goose eggs be-
ing dished up on both sides in rapid sue
cession. In the 9Th inning Soda gottwo
tallies and followed it up with four
more in the seventh. When Montpelier
went to the bat for tie last time it
looked like it was going to be shut out
for ns. but fortune favored MS the last
moment and one tally was chalked up
to our credit, and the game closed with
the'score standing to l in favor Of
Soda.
The game was pretty and exciting
one throughout and while the teams
were evenly matched, yet soda showed
the advantage of practice and team
work over Montpelier Then too. Soda
has three men who have made good in
league teams in past seasons.
Thursdays game. while an exciting
one, was not as pretty an exhibition as
the one on Wednesday. There was
some mighty good playing in streaks,
however. Montpelier took the lead in
the third inning. when four men crossed
the plate, and from that on it looked
good for our boys. The game closed
with the score standing II to 8 in favor
of Montpelier.
The batteries Wednesday were Spong-
berg aud Wright for Montpelier; Gray
son and Done for Soda Thursday they
were AL Bresee and Wright for Mont

when they collided, and although
Wright received severe blow on hi
