and Ogden's chance % lash itself 10
second place on the league ladder
went glimmering. Tho dusty horde
from Salt Lake city swooped down
upon the local players and carried OF
Ogden's scalp by a score OF TO 4.
They are now resting, jubilantly, on
tho second rung OF the ladder. while
the Lobsters have backed down 10

The game broke away with a dash.

The Occidentals opened the second
Inning with a three-base hit 10 left
by Langley, who came homo when
the man following him hit a fumbler
TO third. The third man up went 10
first on a passed third strike, but
was put out when he attempted TO
steal second. Robinson dropped one
iu a desolate corner OF right field,
bringing in a score from third. Cans,
the heavyweight coal complexionel
right fielder, waited the air, but
Mooney, of more lanky proportloBS
drove one along the ground TO right
and Robinson, who had reached third
by a steal, chalked up another tally,
tieing the score. The side was re-
tired without any more business At
the home plato.
Dad GimliD and Murphy each made
phenomenal catches In the sixth. Rob
Llson, the Occidental second base
man. pulled down a lofty drive with
one hand IN the fourth which moved
the shaded grondstand 10 applause.
Throughout the game there were
number of bone-headed plays on the
part of Ogden players that were e1-
tremely costly and which many fans
say were paid for with the game. Tho
home team attempted rally In the
eighth when Ramshaw nit an elong-
ated drive 10 center for two sacks.
Gimlin followed In his footsteps and
pushed the sphere to right, allow
ing Ramshaw 10 score. Dad reached
third and could have made his head
quarters at that sack, but the coacher
urged him homeward and he was
mapped at the rubber. The next two
retters went out and the game fin
ished tamely. as neither team showed
any inclination to score in the ninth.

Saturdays Game,
Saturday afternoon on the diamond
at the Fair grounds, the Ogden team
put another one over on the Salt
Lake players In grand style. There
was no time in the game that the
Saints had a show with the locals,
and 1t looked probable up TO the sew
enth inning that 1t would be another
shutout against the Salt Lake team.

did a little rough work In the seventh.
and from then until the finish of the
game the score stood 3 10 4.
An immense crowd of Ogden
ball fans, including a big percentage OF
feminine admirers of the game, was
in attendance and the good plays Were
vigorously applauded. The boys from
the Industrial School were guests of
the local management and the little
fellows enjoyed the courtesy to the
utmost. following the game with eX-
pert attention and giving vent to their
excitement In no uncertain terms.
Excellent Work by Both Teams.
IT was really good game and both
teams did excellent work at times.
There were a number of sensational
plays, not the least Of which occurred
In the latter half Of the ninth inning.
Salt Lake had men on bases and hot
drive was let loose toward second
base. 1t looked like safe hit and
money that Salt Lake would not tie
the score went begging for moment.
The crowd had not reckoned with
Plake, however, and TO the surprise

This play retired the side and ended
the game.
Wessler's Play.
Another spectacular play was Wess-
ler's catch of hot liner oil sec-ud
base. better stop has not been
made here this season and the base
man improved the opportunity still
more by making a double play.
Taylor was the star of the day

each time as If he were on the pro-

of the sixth being the most spectacu-
lar OF the afternoon.
