RESULT OF GAME YESTERDAY
(From Mondays Daily.


tFrom Mondays Daily.
Well! Welt
Six straight gamesl
Durango, .; Silverton. 4.
That is the result of one of the best
games of ball ever played in this sec
ton of the country. And Silverton
doesn't realize how it happened. Slat-
terry had Plummer and Lloyd, two
outside men who were touted as com
posing a battery that would make
Durango look like 15-cent piece with
a hole In IL, but 1t didn't pan out
that way.
But there were no flies on the play
ing of either side. The Durango boys
got on to Pummer's curves and bat
ted him at Will. The fine playing of
Jack Cole in left field saved SiIverton
from a most awful drubbing. He had
ten chances and made good on every
one Of them.
Springer, for Durango, played out
after the second inning and Stanley
went into the box for the balance OF
the game.
Anheier sent ball from deep right
TO the home plate and beat Joyce by
ten feet. This phenomenal throw took
the breath from Silverton and left
them gasping. 1t was something new
IN ball playing in this part of the
world.
Durango is credited with two errors
but everyone of them played winning
ball.
