The Lewistown Colts, spurred on by
the sting Of defeat the Sunday before
at the hands of the Lewistown regu-
lars, retrieved their laurels and estab-
lished their reputation as ball tossers
Of the championship class by taking
the strong Kendall aggregation into
camp by the score of s to 3.
The game was played on day per-
feet for the great national sport, and
was witnessed by large and noisy
crowd Of interested spectators. Two
large grandstands were erected for
the comfort of the spectators, but
many people had to remain standing
along the sidelines
Kendall sent over what was per-
haps the strongest lineup that ever
left the gold camp and a fast article
OF ball was put up. The game was
closer and more exciting than the
score would indicate, and 1t looked
very much as though Kendall might
climb closer to the top in the ninth.
Parker, a new man from Stockett,
was the much vaunted pitcher for the
Gold Diggers. He was announced as
"pippin" and his speedy and varied
delivery classed him as a fast twirler.
The Colts played their usual strong
game and won a we'll earned victory.
Finnican, the stalwart pitcher of the
famous Glengary team, was in the
box, and had almost perfect support
behind him. The Colt pitcher was in
vinceable. His great work in the box
during the last two games, stamps him
as one of the best pitchers that ever
faced a batter in central Montana,
The game was spectacular from
start to finish, and interest was at
white heat throughout the contest. The
brilliant plays on each side are too
numerous to mention. One of the fea-
lures of the game which delighted
the fans was long drive over center
field by Wannebo, which brought hin,
safely around the sacks for a home
run and pair of fine baseball shoes.
Pframer also got a pretty home run
in the second
In the third Butler made a fine
throw to home from right field, put
ting out Pelican. In their half of the
inning the Colts did some good stick
work and ran five men over the plate.
Several errors by Kendall and good
hlts by Lincoln, Richardson, Finnean
and Slater We're responsible for the
stampede of the Colts around the
bags. The game was won in this
inning.
spectacular one handed stop was
made by Finnican in the fifth when
he threw Hunter out at first. In the
next inning Lochray, the reliable right
fielder. made a brilliant catch OF
Pframer's long drive, which won the
plaudits of the spectators. Sweeney
caught swift one from the bat of
Lochray in the seventh, which smack
ed Of the oldtime variety when
Sweeney was a Lacquer.
Nader made the last run for Ken
dali on two base hit by E. Bullard
in the eighth. In the same inning
Slater made a good stop putting Pei
lean out at first
The ninth was exciting till the last
man was out. Sweeney hit safe to
first and Hunter walked. The chances
looked good for run or two, but
fast work by every man who had the
opportunity, gave Kendall a blank in
this inning also.
The scoring began in the first, when
Wannebo the first man up got his
pretty home run. Pframer duplicated
the trick for Kendall in the next In
ming. Sweeney scored in the third,
and Kendall's scoring ended in the
eighth when Nader came home. The
