WINNIE FULMER Is BACK.
Had Much Of Hand I'm Winning of
Pennant for Ogden BAH Team
i'm season just Closed.

Winnie Fulmer. Ely City's base
ball artist. with Mrs. Fulmer, re-
turned last evening from Ogden,
where he was for two months assist
ing the Ogden team in winning the
pennant of the Utah State league
from their old rivals, Salt Lake. This
was done handily by wide margin.
Salt Lake was the nearest rival at
the close of the season on Labor
Day. being a lame second with a per-
centage of .533 as against the $50
Ogden had to her credit.
In winning this victory Fulmer
played no inconsiderable part, every
story of a game featuring his play
ing He acted as utility man for the
team. being a good infielder out
fielder. pitcher or catcher. just as
occasion required. His headwork
while playing is a well known quanti-
ty which has counted greatly in the
past for Ely and showed strongly in
his Ogden experience His heavy
hitting was a thing which came to
be depended upon and the weakest
place In the batting order was
strengthened by his presence at all
times.
Fulmer. since his residence In this
district, has been the life of baseball
and it is probable that he will i'm
meiiately commence getting the old
Ely City team together again for
game with Ely in the near future.
Lovers of athletics will welcome his
return to Ely City.
