after.
Yesterdays Contest.
II have seen several and then some
league games-but this is the best
yet
This was the expression made by
a man seated in the grandstand at
yesterdays afternoon game. And he
well voiced the opinion of every per-
son there who knew what good base
ball is.
A magnificent day, an immense
crowd, and splendid playing made
Yesterdays game the best ever played
in this section of the state, and sell
dom has more exciting game, from
the spectators standpoint, ever been
seen.
The score when the first half of the
ninth inning was pitched, was to D
in Ely's favor but so close and well
matched had been the fight that no
one, not even the most enthusiastic
of Ogden's supporters, could be dis
appointed.
Until the>last man was put out at
first as a result of an infield hit,
which was neatly gobbled up by Og-
den no one could tell who was to be
the winner and Ogden supporters
were freely offering to bet that their
team would yet prove the winners.
The summary of the whole game
and the reason the score stood the
way 1t did was due to Ely's superior
batting. They could certainly han
die the stick and every time they
started in to do it their hits were so
we'll punched that the score was
made to take different aspect.
ORQoH WAS Tie ITSl dl Ddl, IllC lOOui
team taking the field. From the start
to the finish fast, snappy ball was
played, and for three innings it
looked as if there would certainly
be a small score, if in fact, there was
: to be any at all. But in the last half
of the fourth Ely broke the spell and
started the ball rolling with the re-
suit that when the third man was
given the 23 sign the locals had two
runs to their credit. Bosquet started
it with a pretty single over short and
was followed by well-placed hit by
Jensen which allowed him to make
third. Stockton also tuched Murphy
up for a hit, taking Bosquet and Jen-
son home. The next two men up,
however, failed to connect and the
side was retired.
In the first of the fifth, Greenwall
while it looked as if the crowd was
was advanced to second by Butter
field, who landed on the first sack.
Osler followed, bringing Butterfield
home. Murphy made a neat single,
which scored Osler. The next men
up were put out in short order, re-
tiring the side with the score stand
ing even.
In the sixth Bosquet made the only
home run of the game, and for a
while OF looked as off the crowd was
going wild, with the result that tenn
porarily Murphy, the Ogdenpitcher,
went up in the air, and when he
again came down, Ely was four
more scores to the good, making the
tally sheet stand 6 to in Ely's IA
vor. Ogden came back with another
and duplicated this with another in
the ninth, making the score to in
Elys favor.
Brilliant fielding was shown
throughout the game by both sides,
Ely leading off with double play
that could not be eXcelled for quick,
snappy ball playing. Mortenson was
easily the star of the Ogden team,
playing the third sack without an
error. and it was largely due to his
effective stops that Ely's score was
held down to where it was.
Jenson, the local pitcher, continued
his good work shown in Saturday
