Sunday afternoon with decisive defeat
chalked up against them, thanks to
the efforts of Falon g unbeatable aggre-
cation. The victory was quite over
whelming, for when the smoke of
the battle had cleared and the scorer
had completed his work, something like
seven Falon boys had galloped around
the local diamond with fendish glee
written all over their physiogomies,
while two Reno kids completed the cir
cult of the diamond in the third inning.
After this spasm, which caused the To-
cal fans to sit up and take notice of a
creepy feeling along their spinal
columns, for at this stage of the con-
test, the game stood two to one against
us, there was nothing doing for the
invaders from Reno. Only once did
they get dangerous and this bit of by
play came in the fifth inning when
Reno player, the first man up, tore off
three bagger. 1t looked very much
as If Reno would add materially to its
score, but the three bagger man at
tempted to get home on bunt and
Johnson fielded his pitchers position
nicely and threw the ball home just In
the nick of time. Later the side was
retired scoreless. After this there was
nothing doing for Reno, while Fallon
by consistent batting, aided by Reno's
errors, added score every inning, with
the exception of the eighth, but two
were annexed in the sixth which made
the total score of seven runs. The last
half of the ninth was not played
Ira Kent on the local team made
record in the fourth inning, when with
two strikes called against him. he bat
ted ten straight fouls and followed it
up with safe hit, scoring later. The
editor of this paper has had the base
ball bug for good many years but we
confess we never saw anything to
equal this performance. In the sixth
inning with two men on bases, George
Johnson walked the Reno johnson and
followed it up by striking out the next
two men up to bat, something of per-
formance itself, and one worthy of
mention.
Reno used three pitchers in all, but
could not stem the tide that had set in
against them, while Johnson pitched
his good consistent game throughout
the game, striking out twelve men to
eleven struck out by Reno's three
pitchers.
Sundays performance makes us know
that our team is invincble on the To-
cal diamond with the home rooters
yelling for their success. Among the
crowd who did valient lung work was
Will dollhouse who squawked until he
was red in the face and his words of
were good to hear.
He led the rooters brigade, which in
cluded good many of the fair sex
whose voices piped out constantly from
the grand stand, floated across the
diamond and completely overwhelmed
the lads who call themselves Ram
blers," The girls Of Fallon say they
may be "Rsmbleis' but that they
rambled up against the real baseball
Mccoy down this way and need lot of
practice to even make it interesting
for Fallon's team.
Manager Carpenter informs this
paper that over two hundred and fifty
of the local fans paid their way into
the grounds, the majority of whom
found comfortable seats and shade in
the new grand stand. He wishes also
to particularly thank the band on be-
half of the baseball boys, for the music
that was rendered.
