The Churchill county standard. (Fallon, Nev.) 1908-1920, 1909-08-12


sistent game. In the sixth inning
Fred FRANKIE was hit in the mid riff by
swiftly pitched ball and dropped to
the ground from the shock. DIR. Saw
Bones then got busy and after admin
istering some aqua pura, FRANKIE re-
gained his strength and upon taking
his position in the left field played like
demon. He grabbed what looked
like three two baggers in succession
and retired the side and followed it up
in the following inning by making two
more splendid running catches, one of
which was without doubt the prettiest
running grab ever seen on the local
field. He followed up his brilliant per-
formance in the field with a sharp
three bagger in the seventh inning
that looked like home run, but his
strength failed him on account of his
injury and he collapsed on third where
he was relieved by base run
ner, who, however, failed to reach
home.
Lovelock .ried to overcome Fallon' s
lead of two runs acquired in the fate
full third by batting rally in the
eighth but the best they could do was
to put two men on bases, who died
there. In the ninth they went out in
one, two, three order and Fallon's half
of this inning was not played. for the
score read four to two and Lovelock s
retirement in the ninth was signal
for the biggest and loudest demonstra-
tion by local fandom ever seen in this
neck of the woods. In summing the
game up it would be difficult to give
all the Fallon players the credit they
deserve. Tom Sanford played an err
rorless game at first base where he
grabbed every thing that came within
a mile of him. Davis on second me-
gotiated everything in his territory,
while Kent on third base made some
lightning plays that nipped the rising
hopes OF the Lovelockers on more than
one occasion. He made a beautiful
running one hand catch that made the
lads from the Humboldt town feel like
thirty cents, and filled them with cha
grin. The only doubleplay of the
game was made by Birch and Tom
Sanford which was speedy and proved
team work of high order. High"
Shellard and Irvie Sanford in center
and right fields covered their portions
of the veldt nicely, although they were
seriously handicapped by Cheapie's
ditch which prevented them from grab
bing some high flies that would surely
have been theirs otherwise. Shellard's
throwing to second and third was
feature of the game.
For Lovelock. Bridges on first bag,
johnson on second, O'Connell behind
the willow and Big Bachrodt in CEN
ter all had busy times and made nu-
merous plays that deserved a hand.
Parks, their shortstop, made some
stops of sharp grounders that required
a lightning think tank and nimble mus
cles, while their paid pitcher, Rossi,
puzzled the Fallon boys right along.
He has swift ball and good assort-
ement of curves and with O'Connell,
who is said to be former big league
player makes crack battery.
Be it said in favor of the Lovelock
players that they were good losers and
gentemanly players and Fallon has a
warm place in her heart for the outfit,
although we feel that we have the In
dian sign on them and can throw the
baseball harpoon into their hopes most
any old time and at most any place. We
have a team now that any town should
feel proud of and we cannot give it too
much support. By cooperating with
our boys, we can see Fallon's colors
hoisted high over the teams of the
state.
