There are heavier sluggers than
willie" Keller, the diminutive
New York American right fielder,
but it is doubtful if there is more
scientific batsman living. "Keeler,"
says Charlie Nichols, the veteran
pitcher. lis the hardest man to fool
| ever faced. He keeps a pitcher
guessing all the time. He may
bunt. place the hit just over the
outtielders' heads, or send it on a
long line drive down the field"
Since 1898 Keller has been bat
ting above 800, and that is going
some. He is a left hand hitter and
crouches above the plate. with the
bat grasped well up on the handle.
He is five feet seven inches tall
and weighs $50 pounds. Keller is
one Of the best hunters in the bust
ness.
There are only two occasions
when to bunt," he says, when you
want to advance man from first to
second or second to third, or when
there are no men on bases. Keelel

ANOTHER GOOD
BASEBALL GAME

1t looked like easy going for the
Indians at Recreation park yester-
day when Butte trotted out that
young amateur, Howard. Manager
Stanley pinned his 18th in Rush,
another amateur, burt he has been
doing such good worn .Aat it look
ed like he would be a cinch against
Howard. But it was not so. 1t was
a battle between 49, .wO, and the
Butte man won out principally on
account Of that long drive made by
"Chawles" Mcintyre, the chap with
the "phony" mustache, who man
ages the Miners. Rush had a great
business in the strikeout line. Ten
mighty delivers in the bowels Of
mother earth faced him, and as
many swatted large swats in the
weather. And talking about wealth
er, it was one of the sort of days
which made the fans start for the
game. then stop and decide not to
go. and then start out again. The
game was really a whole lot bet
ter one than that played Sunday.
The playing of both teams was
cleaner, snapper and, withal, more
exciting. Eight safe hits were Sc
cured off both pitchers.
The score:
Butte .....0 0 0 O O 0 O 9 IA
Spokane .....1 1 1 0 . 0 90 0-3

I.regret that whist is played with
the same cards that are used in
poker, bridge and such games. If
more young people were taught to
play whist intelligently. they would
find less attraction in the gambling
games with cards.
Whist should be studied as are
the dead languages for the mental
training it affords.
