TONOPAR Wins
FROM GOLDFIELD
in GOOD GAME
VICTORY PERCHES ON THE BAT
OF THE LOCAL PLAYERS.
EXCITINB CONTEST.

The largest crowd that ever at
tended a baseball game in this city
witnessed the Tonopah players take
the measure of the Goldfield nine at
Volunteers park Sunday last. From
beginning to end the contest was
replete with excitement. While at
no stage of the game did it appear
that the home nine was in any
danger of being defeated, neverthe-
less the visitors put up a snappy
game with the exception of the
third inning when an error on the
part of the Goldfeld shortstop was
responsible for two runs credited to
Tonopah. The score at the end of
the ninth inning stood: Tonopah 4,
Goldfield /.
Seitz pitched his usual good
game. There were but few hits of
his delivery. Seitz is an exception
ally splendid player. Unlike the
majority of pitchers, he is strong
batter. When he lands upon the
ball it is sent quite beyond the
reach of the fielders. He made a
neat three-bagger in one of the
earlier innings and had he been a
swifter runner a home run would
have been credited to his summary.
Buckley, the Tonopah backstop,
made his debut before the Tonopah
public. That he acquitted himself
admirably is putting it mildly
Buckley's every move shows him to
be player of professional proper
tions. He knows the game thor.
oughly and is indeed a valuable &C.
QUESTION to the team. He is good
at the bat, exceptionally good as 9
base runner and has a whip thai
arrests the opposition players at the
second station. His game was err
rorless.
Hatton at third was there with
the goods all the time. He covers
that difficult position in splendid
style. He is in the game at al
times and the team owes to him nj
little credit for the victory achieved
Taken generally the Tonopal
team right now is we'll balanced
While it is weak in spots, it woult
be hard to improve upon it as al
amateur aggregation.
Goldield has a good battery; il
fact the entire team is strong one
The, one error in the early part o
the game gave the Tonopah player
two tallies which under ordinar,
circumstances they were not entitle,
to. Minus that fiuke the scor
would have been 2 to l in favor o
Tonopah.
The game was snappy throughou
and devoid of wrangling. Umpir
Dow oficiated in an able manner
From the standpoint of an inter
ested fan, it may not be amiss t
offer a little criticism. The Tono
pah boys for the most part in thei
anxiety to connect with the horse
hide, nedeavor to knock the cove
of the ball. This is a mistak
made by great many teams. |
Is well enough for batters like Seitz
Peck and Hatton to put their ever
muscle behind the blow, but tn
average batter can accomplish mucl
more by gently tapping the leathe
and keeping it upon the ground.
The Goldfield boys took their de
feat in good-natured manner
After the game they marched dow
town to the tune of a dead marc
while carrying an abundance O
crepe. One of the automobiles wa
decorated with beats, while tn
ladies and gentlemen wore tina
vegetable upon their coats.
A return game will probably b
played next Sunday at Goldfielt
During the mining congress, SCI
les of games will be fought out b
the two teams.
Some one in the grandstan
wanted to put copper" on frs
after batter had two strikes cal
ed on him.
Mullen, the "Kilowat Kid" seen
ed to be one of the most popula
players on the diamond.
