Everybody who stayed away from
Cooley park YESTERDAY missed seeing II
game of big league baseball. Plenty OF
exhibitions on the big grounds are not
so interesting or even os classy as Tues
days contest with Butte. There was II
big crowd OF enthusiastic fans there yes
terdny.
Several separate features were WORTH
the price OF admission. First there was
McCloskey's rage when Mattlles failed tc
get under fiy, That was beautiful TO
contemplate but somewhat dangerous
for the unfortunate Matthes.
There was also Pendctons s circus
catch. well worth the gate fee.
Remneas's horne run was tragedy
that did not end happily. but Tor those
who like tragedy IL WAS genuine.
Besides all this there was real UNI
p;re at work. James Toman has no
equal In the west The fact that a big
Tonan simply shows that big leasue
manager may make mistake. Per
