THE BALL GAME.
In the afternoon the ball game be-
tween the Yeringtop nine and the Buck
skin nine took place in the field just be-
low the Hironymous residence. A fairly
good ground had been laid out, and the
game was interesting from start to finish.
The visiting nine was first to bat and
succeeded in pounding out two runs be-
fore being retired The home team then
took one run in the first. In the second
inning neither nine scored, and in the
Sd, 4th, 5th and 9th the visitors rolled
up four big goose eggs while the Yering-
ton boys secured one run in each of
these innings. In the 9TH each nine
scored one run; in the 9Th the visitors
secured another tally and the home team
failed to connect with the plate This
made the game stand at the beginning
of the 9th inning 6 to in favor of the
Yerington boys but in this inning the
Buckskin boys batted Mcleod savagely
and piled in six big runs. The home
nine failed to score and the game was
over with the score standing 10 to in
favor of the visitors. The game was a
fairly good one throughout but there
were costly errors on the part of the
home team while the visitors PLAYED
better ball in the last inning than in any
other. They dragged down the 500
purse i'll good style and proceeded to
have good time during the remainder
of their stay in the city. They are a
jolly good lot of fellows who were loud
in their praise of the hospitality extend
ed to them and we hope to see them try
conclusions with the Yerington boys
again in the near future Quite num-
Der of Buckskin people came over to see
the game and we're, of course, elated
with the result.
THE WRESTLING MATCH.
Last evening the wrestling match be-
tween the Jap wrestler and Donaldson
took place in the Owl Hall. The winner
of the match was to receive the gate re-
ceipts, and as there was a pretty good
house the purse was quite fat one.
Mr.. Mcdonald was chosen as referee
and when the two principals stepped
into the ring there was applause for both.
Donaldson is much the smaller of the
two men, only weighing about 126
pounds, while the Jap probably weighed
140 or more. The first, fall was won by
the Jap in IS minutes, but Donaldson
made his opponent work hard for it,.
After a rest of ten minutes the men
stepped to the center of the ring for the
second bout and this time the fall was
awarded Donaldson; time II minutes.
The third and last fall was won by the
lap in Just four minutes. The match
was strictly on the square as referee
Mcdonald would have it no other way.
There was very little money changed
hands so far as we could learn.
During the evening between the rounds
the band rendered several selections and
it is noticeable that they are making con-
siderable improvement. The band fur
nished music during the Sd and 4th and
demonstrated the fact that with a little
more practice it will be able to make
music equal to any towns band.
And the agony is over
