Hot1y Contested Ball Game
Played Monday.
SINGLE Men Of the Commercial Club
Found Their Superiors on the
Ball Diamond. DE
feated by One.

The single men of the Commercial
Chb received trimming at the hands
of the married men in ball game
Monday. 1t was close game but the
married men say they let the boys
oct ahead to make them feel good and
in the final ninth beat them out by one
score and still only two men out and an
bour till sundown, so there is no telling
how many they would have made if
tbey needed them.
The line up for the married men as
the game started was as follows: At
wood chased all balls not hit by the
batters, Roberts stood where on the
pitchers box, Grothe was called first
baseman Doran worked hard around
second, assisted by Garrett and Hall.
Tucker was on third base and every
ball his way kept him very busy. Out
in the field where the most work SEEM
ed to be was stationed Bennion, Gar
ret and Barber.
The young unmarried members of the
club, after several weeks tryout ar
ranged their men as follows: Logan be-
hind the bat, Ewing pitched, Sigmond
first, Lang second, Nee third and
Dayer short stop. Brokan, Greene and
Austin in the long grass.
Everything went lovely for the un-
married men for the first two innings
as no one reached home, but the third
inning proved bad one when Bennian
surprised the crowd, the players and
himself by batting the ball so far in
the field it took three to get it back.
By the able assistance of the entire
married mems team and most of the
married men and some women in the
crowd, he reached home safely and
after careful treatment by DIR. North
was able to go into the game at the
next inning. This was signal for the
batting to start as it was made up be-
tween themselves and everybody took
long soak at the ball for long hits all
the way from half mile to a six base.
Things were going along nicely until
Gothic tried to slide home and was cap
tured, then Barber showed his weak
ness followed by Hall. Six scores were
now to their credit against three for
the opponents.
The married men began to show their
"unlasting' qualities when the fourth
inning started and before an injunction
could be served 13 scores We're in, MAX
ing them 16. This was the outfelders
inning and it is estimated that Bennion
run eight mile and half.
The married men began to shift po-
sltions on the field and change places
with subs on the bench in their half of
the fourth and with fresh material cap
tured another six scores.
The game dragged along this way
with sorts of fancy playing until to the
satisfaction of the married men the last
mali of the ninth came with their ''ins"
and after desperate struggle and
some change in the batting list made
ne hve necessary scores to win the
game. Atwood was awarded the BAN
ner Tor being able to make the circle
without touching the base. Ewing was
seen no more after the fourth inning
ana 1t is supposed he went up in the
oaioon. DR.. Nee played third and it is
stated he preferred this position be-
cause 1t was near the ladies. Sigmond
VI hrst did some fancy work but as
'nefe was so much going on few people
saw them. Bennien was the all around
''ar' that is he was all around the field
