Game.

The Salt Lake Cubs made it four
straight Saturday afternoon on the
Walker field diamond, defeating the
Butte Miners in q game full Of excite,
ment by score of 9 to 4. Many fast
plays were pulled off, and there. were
some mighty. poor ones, but the visitors
were never in it. The Salt Lake boys
played fast ball every minute. There
seemed to be a can Of ginger at every
position, and the 1000 spectators pres,
ent were kept in a continual uproar OF
enthusiasm over some good play. Ham
mond s bunch would have made the
Tigers or Pirates look cheap. Some
people called it luck, but the visitors
thought it was tough to be handled so
roughly, The Cubs made them look like
schoolboys, the game being never IN
doubt from. the first inning.

from rolling TO Murray, and before the
bali was recovered Whaling had made
the circuit. The very next time up be
hit the third pitched ball over the east
fence. and from last reports the sphere

Goodman pulled off sensational play
in the fourth inning, Dunn came to
bat and knocked a speedy high liner
into left field. Goodwin ran as hard

ming, Fitzgerald lined the ball out for
TWO sacks, went to third on Gardner s |
sacrifice and stole home when half the
