MISSOJJLA, Aug Salt Lake met its
first reverse on the road here today when
Red Fennell Missoula's new catcher
hi, the ball over Cordtz's head in the
ninth scoring one run ahead OF him and
then crossing the plate when Orr threw
the relayed sphere against the thrd-base
bleacher.
Moxsy Manuel recently released by
Great Falls. and Willis Morgan furnished
the local fans with one of the prettiest
pitchers battles seen in the league this
season.
Morgan pitched gilt-edged ball nnd
after Missoula had tied Salt Lakes two
ID run lead In the third. Manuel settled
down and he. too. held his opponents
helpless
Except for Cordtz's scratch nit In the
eighth, Salt Lake was unable TO connect
safely with Manuel until the ninth, when
Van lined out one OF the former big
leaeuers slow ones and sent il far over
the right field fence for a home run. This
booked like the winning run in view OF
the successful manner in which Morgan
had been able 10 puzzle Joyce's men In
the previous innings.
Missoula Rallies in Ninth,
Mlssoula surprised everybody, how
ever. in the ninth. Cangnon, the hrst
man up. singled between short and sec
ond. NcCafferty, on a hit and run with
Changnon hit TO Morgan. but the. Mis-
soula third sacker was caught at second,
McCafferty getting TO first In sa1ety rem
nell, with one ball and no strikes on
him. hit the next one high In the air
over center. Cordtz made an awkward GET
away after the ball and then ran back
sideways with his gloved hand out
a ,.l.1 fnh Inc r.
ball in that manner, but Instead OF turn
ing his back and making for the renee,
Cordtz lost the ball but relayed II to Orr
just as Fennell was rounding third. orr
sent the bail into the screen and Fenne!l
also scampcred In with the run that
broke up the game,
II was a hard game for Salt Lake to
lose and Cordtz has caught great MANY
0v balls that were more difficult than
the one hit by Fennell.
Salt Lake was first 10 score. with one
down in the opening inning Aooott HI,
for two bases. Thompson made grand
catch Of BlankcnshlDs drive down the
third base line and then Cordtz drew a
walk. Cordtz scored moment later
when he and Van successfully worked
double steal. Van going TO second. Orr
retired the side by goink out: third TO
FIRST.
The skvscrapers were unable to register
again until the ninth, when Van hit the
bail over the fence.
Missoula bagged two In the third. Fen
nell drew n Walk ana stole seCpnNs Ndiluci
sending him in with a pretty single
through the box. Manuel WAS out al
second on Murray's fielders' choice, Muir
ray also stole second and scored later
on Thompsons single.
Morgan pitched alright ball after that
and twlrled himself out OF several bad
holes
Joyce's banked clay tnfield bothered
Pendeton and other outfelders, Pcndle-
ton especially was unable to play any
where near his usual fom and booted
three.
Umpire Rasty Wright and Secretary
O'ReiIly OF the Missoua club engaged In
quite q heated argument prior to the
beginning of the game, when the latter
refused Wright the privilege OF changing
clothes In the refreshment stand, claim
ing that Wright was responsible for the
Manager BIZ joyce finally needed the
plea OF the local fans that he remain out
Of uniform and off the playing field and
has consoled himself by remaining at the
ticket gate during the Dast TWO games.
Before the beginning OF the game the
Missoula players met In the clubhouse
and elected Charley McCafferty field
manager of the club. The entire Mis-
soula team has played improved ball to-
day and is apt to make considerable trou
bic for some OF the leaders before the
season is finished
Because Saturday is circus day here
Joyce at first announced a double header
for tomorrow. but changed his mind so
there will be only the one game this
Thursday, Dresser will pitch to Blank
cnship. Cummings and Fennell Will be
the Missoulas battery
