The Three Ball Games.

The games this week were not as sche-
duled, as the Rapid City team failed to
appear Monday, and substitutes had to
found, and that at the last minute.
The Hot Springs boys played the To-
cal team Sunday, but failed to make the
game interesting. They tried three pit
cheers, but all were easy, and our boys
scored at will, making 81 runs in all.
heidepriem, on the contrary, was very
effective, and as he had excellent sup
port throughout, the Springs team new
er had a man farther than second. Some
nice plays were made during the game,
a double by Heidepriem, Putnam and
Royce, and one by Heidepriem and Neel
being the especial features. The game
was too one sided, though, to be really
interesting.
On Monday, the Rapid City team not
having arrived, mixed team of Hot
Springs and Custer players was made
up, and another rather uninteresting
game played. The regulars were easily
too strong for their opponents and play
ed careessly from the outset, merely TAX
ing care that their lead was too great to
be overcome. They won by score OF
to 3. Some good work shown by both
teams, catch by Layton being rather
brilliant, but spirit was lacking and the
game was dull.
The Tuesday game was by far the best
OF the three, and, in fact, was one of the
pest games played on our ground this
season. A mixed team of Deadwood
and hill City players, playing as Dead.
wood team, had been secured in place ol
Rapid City's bunch of pikers, and they
were certainly worth the money. Their
pitcher, Parker, did more with the 10.
Gals than any pitcher seen here this
year, securing nine strikeouts and allow
Ing only nine hits His support, too
was good, Bostrom at third, and Yarbee
at short doing excellent work.

Hon. H. Goddard, of Edgemont, who
gave the response TO the address of well
come at the Eagles picnic, is ono of the
oldest pioneers of Custer and his address
got the most marked attention of the
crowd. Coming here in the early days
of rs and '76, he saw the town as it be
gan and could appreciate what has been
done by our energetic and pushing peo.
pie. He wanted to see more of Custer
and our people so went home by the
night train and returned on Tuesday
with his wife and son, wishing them to
meet people whom he said Made one
feel as much at home as though he had
known them all his life" A trip to
Sylvan Lake was planned but business
called him back to Edgemont. His
amicable wife, however, was taken TO
the Lake and shown the beauties of the
place. To this family we will say,
"Come again. you will find the latch
string out all the time and hearty well
come ever ready"

Courtney, pitching for the locals, was
at his best, and credit for the game
should be given him. His strikeout rec
ord was fourteen and only four hits
were secured from him. Time after
, time with men on bases, he disposed of
good batters with seeming ease. He
pitched shutout game, and would have
had it but for couple of errors.
The infeld, while not up to its usual
standard, did some fast work, everyone
securing an assist or two. Pitcher in
right made fine catch of high fly, one
hard to make in that bad sun field.
Fee, in center, took a short hit past Sec
Ond in as pretty an effort as has ever
| been made here, catching the ball after
long run not more than a few inches
from the ground and holding on to it in
spite of hard fall L. Courtney caught
star game, the more brilliant because
of his having an injured finger.
The real feature of the game was the
fast base running of the local players,
second and third bases being stolen
time and again and two runs being Sc.
cured in the seventh inning by fine
working of the squeeze play, Heide.
priem running for Cottrell coming home
as the pitcher delivered the ball and
Royce, who was batting, beating out his
bunt to first in the confusion. Pitcher,
who was on second, deserves credit also,
he following Heideprem without a
moments pause on third and making
the second score. 1t was fiue.
Custer secured one run in the first in.
ming, one in the second, and three in
the seventh that in the second being a
gift on blocked ball, and the other four
really earned scores. Deadwood scored
once in the fifth making the final score
to |. The game was so close, standing
to at the seventh inning, and the f.
nal result so in doubt throughout, that
it may be fairly considered one of the
best, if not the best, Custer has played.

Heavy Loss by Bark Beetle.

1t has become settled fact, says the
Pioneer Times, that the disastrous sea-
son of the bark beetle in the Black Hills
is gradually nearing an end. Trips
around the various national forests, for
merly known as forest reserves in this
vicinity by the employees of the service,
show that the beetles work is diminish
ing and 1t is slowly disappearing. The
of time and migrates from one section of
the country to another. But its visit
here lasting over several years, has been
costly to the state and government both.
The state of South Dakota will lose in
the Black Hills something like 81 ,500,-
600, worth of timber the experts esti-
mate through the depredations of the
bug. This figure is likely to be increas-
ed as it will not be possible to tell until
spring when the trees turn red, just the
amount of damage done this year.
There is another small bug with which
the government has TO deal, member
of the tomicus family, that is confused
with the bark beetle by many ranchers
and others not familiar with the bugs.
1t is smaller and less destructive than
the bark beetle.
The forest service department is en-
gagged in notifying the settlers that it re-
quires more than the mere posting of
notices to secure land on the reserve or
forest. Formal applications must be
made out and sent to the department
here before the settler has any claim up.
on the land. In many cases, largely
through ignorance, the settlers merely
claim by notice so many feet and neg
lect an application.

An Exclamation.

As great many people were disap.
pointed at not seeing two ball games
during the picnic between Rapid City
and Custer, it is only fair to the Eagles
in charge of the picnic, and to the Gus.
ter team that the matter be explained.
1t appears that for month or more
some correspondence had been carried
on between ]. NJ. Hartgering of Rapid
City and the manager of our team rela-
tive to games to be played between the
teams of the two places. Some two
weeks before the picnic, Mr.. Hartgering
was written and was asked if he could
bring over team at that time for two
games A day or two later, in order
that the matter he hurried he was wired
to the same effect. This telegram secur-
ed the answer, also by wire, Schedule
games" Later two or three letters pass
ed between our manager and Mr., Hart
gering relative to railroad fares, etc, and
on Thursday a week ago, draft was
4 lOiN NidhSpOitoNiOby hioNtSio
being seemingly settled.
Monday came, and both trains were
| met, but no Rapid City ball players
| came, nor was there word of any sort.
Even communication by phone could
not be secured. On Tuesday, letter
was received, stating that some five or
six of the Rapid boys found at the elev-
enth hour that they could not leave
their fair city for so long a time as two
days, and the team had been obliged to
cut the engagement. Mention was made
of telegram that had been sent to that
effect, but, as yet, no such telegram has
been seen here. Possibly one will ar
rive in a week or two. And Sc the mat
ter stands. 1t is evident to all that nc
blame can be attached to our boys.
