Like the opening of all great base
ball games. some of tine states most
noted men were there TO throw, at
tempt to hit and attempt 10 catch the
first ball. On the occasion. yesterday.
when c. E. Allen DOTTED his hat and
announced the batteries, Governor VII
liam Spry took his stand behind the
plate, Mayor John ). Bransford stepped
into the pitchers box, while, grace
fully swinging a bat on the port side,
George Sutherland. United States SEN
atOr from Utah, stood ready 10 hit the
ball. 1t took five balls to retire the
senator; two were balls and three times
he swung and three times he missed.
Mayor BTansfOrd now stands 1000 per
cent as a pitcher but the Governor ana
the senator are AT the other end or
the ladder, for II must be said that the
Governor missed catching the balls as
far as the senator missed hitting them.
With Senator Sutherland out, the
diamond was cleared for action, with
the Alta club in the field. on the rub
Der was George Ames, and catching him
was Walker Salisbury.
can Walker hold him?" came the
question from the Alta club rOoters.
Ii soon developed that Walker could,
for Ames' much-feared speed turned
out to be a series of underhand bowls,
which, if not fast, were very much on
the snake order.
Things started to be interesting from
the first as Roberts, first up, fouled
one past third base, the ball lodging in
side an automobile lamp, while every
one, even the owner, smiled. Roberts
popped out to the pitcher. Captain
Porter famed, but Gillett famed the
spark of hope into life by getting
walk and landing the first score on
COnVills hit to right. The side was
retired when Johnson sent the ball in
the air and sam Neel was under IL and
held il for the out.
When the University club took the
field their supporters took heart be-
cause of many stars and Dad COnVill
in the box Dad made good. for the
score shows that he struck out four
teen men, although at times he was
a little wild. Salisbury, first up. fell
a victim to COnvilTs shoots, and the
umpire. and was relieved in the bat
tiers box by Jack GrOesbeck. GrOes-
beck reached first on "A base on balls,
and Ames followed him, when one of
ConvilFs shoots connected with his
ribs. Ames and GrOesbeck scored on
passed ball and Roberts wild peg TO
catch GrOesbeck at third. Ernest
Bamberger got a walk, and il was
three runs when he scored on a steal
and a wild throw by COnviIl Charley
Simpson cOppered the market BY fan
ming out
Two Three-Snckers.
The University club came back in the
first of the second, when DR.. c. c.
Plummer led off with a three-bagger.
Some said il was a foul, but Samuel
NewhOuse, the base umpire, held that
there were too many automobiles TO
see just where the ball lit, and the
base runner always had the benefit OF
the doubt. The doctor, who played
great game throughout. was scored
when Lackner smashed one against
the same row of autOmo biles, and was
again given the benefit of the doubt.
Baum followed with a hit, TO score
Lackner, and the score was tied.
The tie was broken in the first OF
the fifth when Gillette singled, stole
second and scored on errors by Bam-
berger and Brown, which placed john
son and Plummer on second and third
1t looked like more runs until Plummer
made a beautiful steal TO third, only
TO find that it was occupied by john
son. and the side was out
The Alta club started in to even up
things in the fifth, when Salisbury laid
down a bunt and Outsprinted COnvill
to the bag He then stole second and
scored when Plummer booted GrOs-
beck's error Ames was again hit by a
pitched ball. Mccormick was safe on
an error by Gillett and three more
runs came in on wild pitch and hit
by Neel.
The University club got one in the
fifth and then jumped into. the lead
when five runs were scored in the
sixth. Two hits accounted for two
runs and then with two out Johnson
rolled one 10 Ames. who tossed to
Brown, but the first sacker dropped the
