Tonopah bonanza. [volume] (Butler City [i.e. Butler], Nev.) 1901-1909, 1907-07-13
WILL MEET BOTH
LEAGUE LEADERS
FANS TO HAVE OPPORTUNITY
OF WATCHING ToNoPAHS
PLAY BALL


two weeks. as the home team will
meet both of the league leaders here,
Goldfield and Carson. If the Tono-
pah team takes both games and Car
son breaks even with Reno the Gold
felders will be showed into second
place. The home team will work
their hardest to wipe out the two
previous defeats that the Miners
have administered and 1t is almost
a safe bet that the Tonopahs take
both games. The team playing the
snappy ball that it is now and the
new stars that have been added to
the payroll should have no difficulty
in downing the Miners.
The series with Carson will be
harder game than the league leaders,
!, as the Capital City boys are playing
] great ball at present, and it is going
!, to be a difficult matter to take their
/, scalps, but the Mizpahs are not
E frightened at the prospect of meet
: ing the Senators. The loss Of Swan
ton, Carson's crack pitcher, who has
been benehed for a month for dis
e obedience, will hurt the Senator'S
e chances of winning, as neither Brown
G or Yeazell have been as successful
in winning games in this league as
h Swanton. If the Tonopah team takes
four games in the two series the
j. team will be within a few points OF
a the top.
The race for the pennant in the
It Nevada State league promises to be
as pretty a struggle as any in this
d country. All four teams are very
evenly matched and there is no pos.
sibillty of any team making a run
e. away race such as is occurring in The
National league this year. The Car
n son boys have probably the best bal
q. anced team in the league at the pres
m ent time, as Considine. Lucera
B%roadbent and Thompson, who com
n pose the inheld, are all good play
es ers who have had the advantage Q
at playing together for wv months
az Taken individually the Tonopah in
let field compares favorably with tn
ID Carson bunch. Agnew fields his pc
m sition as well as Considine, but is nc
as strong with the stick. Mullen
hitting the ball at a better clip tina
Lucera. but Is not as snappy in h
fielding as the Carson second bas'
man Captain Hunter of the Mi
ar pahs is a more finished man at Il
IN bat than B~roadbent, but it is haT
~ to beat the Senator's sbortstop Il
perfect fielding. Westerburg W
outplay Thompson all around at Il
third cushion. Tonopah claims Il
honor of having the strongest pitch
in the league in o'Bannion, and q
games in which he is to figure W
: be Just as good as won before tn
:, are played,
Reports from Goldfield state th
a considerable number OF baseb'
fans from there will take in the T.
games here.
iHu For a time It looked as If the Go
ielders were going TO make a ~
away race of the pennant, but
~reverses the team has suffered d.
ing the past week has aroused 7
"h baseball enthusiasm of the fans
'nis that place to the highest pitch
they realize that their team is
any better than the others in
league.
'ht- The new grandstand is iinisl
Tue and covered, which will place
wv spectators in the shade during
course of a bali game. The fence
