FASTEST GAME OF SEASON
kalispell's Pet Cubs are
Defeated by Those
"SmOke Eaters"

Whitctish last Sunday night over
the victory that was won in Kalis-
pell by the ball team. Everyone
had smile on his face and looked
as happy as if some one had hand
ed him a five hundred dollar bill.
Some of the fans haven't gotten
over it yet and you can still hear
some of the enthusiasts playing the
game over again on the corners, or
in the cigar store. There is moth
ing that causes SO much good cheer
and happiness in Whitefsh as to
win ball game, especially to beat
Kalispell on their own grounds.
One of the players expressed him
self after the game, saying, My
life is now complete. y
About 100 people went down
with the team on a special train to
do the roofing and they sure did do
it. The day was cold and blustry
and it didn't look as if the players
could get up any ginger, but the
heat of excitement soon made every
one fOsget the elements.
The game opened up nicely and
neither side made run. Taylor
was at his best and it was with
difficulty that the White fishers
could get on to his curves, but they
did find him at last and landed on
the ball very freely. Averill was
working to a disadvantage, Being
left handed the strong wind was
blowing 50 that he couldn't make
his ball break at first, and he was
pounded all over the field for a
while. His support was good, so
they didn't gain much. He then
changed his tactics and threw drops
which fooled the best of them.
In the second inning Chinn made
a home run the first thing and
lseminger managed to get around,
so Kalispell had two scores to start
with, In the fourth inning is
where Whitefsh came to the front,
Cosgrove and EmasG were ON bases,
and Averill made a two-base hit
away out into the centerfeld which
brought in two runs and then he
managed to get in himself
In this inning Emard made
sensational catch that brought forth
cheers from all sides. He and Nc
Garry were after a fly ball and
they collided with great force,
both being knocked down, but
Emard held on to the ball and
then got up and threw it to second,
putting another man out.
In the sixth inning Davis drove
the ball up against the left field
fence and it bounded back in the
grass and Emard lost sight of it.
Davis kept going around and it
looked as if he was going to make
a home run, but McGarry ran out
and picked it up just in time to
throw it to third and put him out.
A couple of errors in this inning
gave Kalispell two more scores and
they were again in the lead.
In the lucky eighth, Cosgrove
made a long drive with two men on
bases and brought in Corcoran.
The score was tied and Whitetish
in the grandstand went wild. 1t
was short inning for Kalispell in
the eighth, all three men being
caught out on little fly balls.
In the ninth inning the excite
ment was intense. Averill got
three strikes, but got to first on an
error, both McGarrys made safe
hits and brought in Averill. Then
McGarry tried to squeeze in and
got in hot box which caused the
widest confusion, but he was put
out. The last part of the ninth
was one two three for Kalispell land
then with cheers that could be
heard at home, every mothers son
from Whitetish gave vent to his
feelings. Even some of the Kalis-
pell people felt elated and three
generous chaps in Kalispell made a
present of SIS to the Whitcfsh
team.
One feature in the game was
that there was but little kicking
on the umpire. Both Mazurie and
Sorenson were very fair and there
was never kick from the bleach
ers.
This will probably end the base
ball season here, as several of the
players have left already. Both
towns have two games apiece now,
but we went them one better, get
ting game on their own grounds,
and every fan in Whitefsh is sat
isfied to let it rest that way until
the next season.
