Overtime Ball Game Between Lewis
town and Philbrook Captured by
Locals in the Eleventh.
AN EXCITING CONTEST
Big Crowd of Fans Kept Up to High
Pitch of Interest by Many Thrill
ing Situations.

No person subject to heart disease
had any business at the ball game
played last Sunday afternoon between
the Lewistown White Wings and the
fast Philbrook aggregation. on the
grounds of the latter. The contest
abounded in situations which were
trying to the nerves of the most
phlegmatic fan. 1t was a thriller
from start to finish and only the
gamest sort OF playing by the White
Wings enabled them to put over a
work.
Philbrook Team Good.
PhllbroOk has as good team as
any town OF its size in the state can
boast 1t is an aggregation of ex-
perienced. heady base ball players, not
one Of whom ever permits an advan-
tage to be overlooked. But on the
form displayed Sunday, Lewistown
has slightly better team and de-
served to win just as Philbrook de-
served to win the game played here
the previous Sunday
Big Bunch Of Rooters.
About fifteen automobile loads Of
rooters accompanied the team to
Philbrook. Every man OF them got
his moneys worth several times over.
Philbrook had the mighty Bell in the
box and the big fellow is certainly
somep itcher. For Lewistown, the
little southpaw, eli" Toresdell, did
the twirling, and won place in the
hearts of the Lewistown fans by his
superb work. Unfortunate at the
start and somewhat wild in spots, ne
tightened up whenever the other fel-
lows became dangerous and pulled
himself out of holes in big league

and precision, and then it rained great

Within a generation the nation re
members three great welcomes before
the one of today-to General Grant in
San Francisco, after his triumphal
tour of the world, following the ex-
piration of his two terms as presi-
dent; Admiral Dewey on his return
from the Philippines, and to William
Jennings Bryan after tour of the
world. The welcome to Grant was
the most tumultuous; that to Dewey
the most elaborate and stately, but
the welcome to Roosevelt today was
shot through with dramatic ex-
pectancy which long ago found popu-
lar expression in the typical phrase
"the return from E.lba."
Grant, on his return, was still a
political possibility, but foredoomed
to defeat
Admiral Dewey was hero, not a
national leader. Bryan, prominent
as his part had been before the peo-
pie, had never been entrusted by them
with executive responsibility.
Roosevelt had been something OF

statesmen and a soldier and sailor

an especial friend of the West. His
welcome today brought men from al
parts OF the country. 1t was ma

Start With Rush.
Philbrook started off with a rush.
After the Lewistown boys had been
retired in the first inning, the Greys
scored two runs on pass and two
hits, one Of them two-bagger. In
the remaining ten innings, they got
but four hits and one run, which was
scored in the seventh. Lewistown
got theirs one at time. One came
in the second, one in the sixth, one
in the seventh and the deciding tally
in the eleventh. The clever base
running OF McKeen and Shaeffer and
the hitting of Smith, who played left
field, was largely responsible for the
scoring, although the other boys did
their share toward pushing the
runners around the circuit by clever
sacrifice hitting.
The score stood three all at the
end OF the ninth. Captain Shaeffer
led off with his second hit of the
game. He stole second, went to third
on sacrifice and then stole home
while the ball was being passed from
the first baseman to the pitcher after
Baker had sacrificed. 1t was an ex-
hibition Of heady ball playing Shaeffer
did here and won the game, as
Toresdahl did not give the home boys
chance in their half of the eleventh.
All Played the Game.
There were features galore.
Tommy Baker saved trouble by max
ing fine catch in center and shoot
ing the ball to Moe at the plate, COM
pleting double play and cutting off
run. Smith made great catch in
left and doubled the runner at first
Sweeney got long one in right

at third, had eight chances, some Of
them very difficult, and never made
a bobble. Shaeffer ate up everything
that came out toward second in his
usual neat style. Skalacky missed
nothing at short and McKeen saved
his side kicks some errors by digging
several thrown balls out of the grass.
