1t was great ball.
1t was fine ball.
1t was clean ball.
1t was bah such as one sees in the
National League, an@ if anything it
was BETTER ball than one some
times sees in some of the National
games.
And the crowds!
Fully 1000 people, running riot
with enthusiasm, for there was never
a minute but what ones nerves were
keyed to the highest pitch. The Off
GERS had hard time keeping the
fans back from the side lines. Be-
fore next Sundays game there will
be a rope stretched from the grand
stand 100 feet long, fastened to
stakes to keep the crowd back
Ball of the character dished up
yesterday will certainly attract inn
mense crowds.
A large delegation from Millers
came up on Sunday mornings train,
and they say that there was barely
enough men to operate the plants
left in the desert city. While their
favorites were not successful, they
, returned home with the satisfaction
that they had given the Tonopah out
) fit run for their money. There was
never a moment throughout the en-
time game that either side had t
q cinched. 1t was anybodys game.
Superintendent Arthur Parsons, OF
! the Millers plant, was in evidence
I from the time he left the train until
the close of the game. Comptroller
Charles and Foreman Julian were
other men interested to a great ex-
tent The men from the mill town
were there with large sack of
money (before the game), freely of
fered in every quarter, but there was
4 no lack of takers. A telephone mes

the information that they would
probably arrive some time during the
day, as they had bet their return trir
tickets, together with all their spare
change and all they could borrow
: and they were forced to hit the pike
back to their native heath.
