Skyscrapers Score 10.

IN the big double-header today 6
Cooley park, Morgan and CARRIER will b
the pitchers for Salt Lake. McCatfert
and Jachs will work for Missou;
Perkins will likely do the catching fo
Salt Lake as Blankenship put his fir
ger out of joint yesterday, The game
are apt to be very good ones. Missou;
according to Joyce, Is due to win. A
any rate the Missoula players, althoug
cellar champions, are always aggressiv
and inclined to be dangerous. Dressar
the Sunfower southpaw, who is brigh
star on the Skyscrapere' pitching staff
will be In reserve if either Morgan o
CARRIER show symptoms Of weakening
It follows, therefore, that Missoula vii
have to play gilt-edged ball to win
Whether Missoula wins or loses, tina
team is the most amusing team In th
association and Is worth seeing at an.
time.
Have You seen Cooley's newest pitcher.
Perhaps you think Dressan is tail ant
thin. but wait until you see Jensen. the
newest one from RawlIns. Wyo.

added Cooley, that when he delivers O
ball he has to yank his right hand back
quick to keep the batter from hitting him
Blanenship was still present and he did
not contradict this.

ball over this pitchers head. II would

In the first half OF the sixth Manager
Blankenship, to make absolutely certain
OF the game, put Dressan in. Before that
Missoula had been hitting the attenuated
twirler rather, too often. II was In the
third inning that Missoula batsmen quit
lodging when he started an out curve at
Vulnerable parts Of their anatomy. They
began to bat that curve just after It broke
and netted four runs.

he was very Wild. threatening at times to
rival Jachs. Grayson. too. did not have
good control of the ball at first and when
he finally began putting them over the
plate the Skyscrapers pounded him Sc

Missoula Team Eccentric.
The AI!ssoula players do the most sur
prising things and just when they are
apparently going to pieces they rally and
become dangerous: Despite their gray
uniforms no two players look alike Each
one has his little Individual eccentricity,
but about the time the fans are ready
10 begin calling them ''bushers" they do
something brilliant for a second or two.

Manager Blankenship decided Yesterday
that Missoula should not monopolize the
circus business, so he attempted a spec

a foul tiD but The wire netting prevented

Dressan demonstrated again yesterday
that ne is a real pitcher. He also ex-
ploded the old notion that a pitcher can
not bat. Next TO Jensen. the most ex-

Blankenship still has hopes OF Jensen
when he gets tanned. He comes from the
part OF the country that made Owen
Wister famous. but most OF the fans
yesterday were OF the opinion that when
pitchers get TO be as tall and thin as
Dressan IT Is OF no advantage To be taller
and thinner. or course, Cooley having
