COINS PITCHES A NO HIT, NO
RUN GAME AGAINST
KALISPELL.

The game here between White
fish and Kalispen last Thursday
evening was one of the greatest
exhibitions of baseball ever seen
on any diamond in the valley. In
fact it is only on very rare occasions
that such playing is ever seen in
the big league games.
Archie Coins was in the box for
the locals, and Kalispell got the
cleanest beating they have ever had.
Kalispell didn't get a single safe hit
and was completely whitewashed;
only one man got to first base, and
that was on account of a slight er-
ror made by McClintock. the catcher
who dropped the ball on the third
strike and could not recover 1t
quick enough to put his man out on
first base. This breaks all records
Archie has ever made. It is the
first time in his career that he has
ever pitched no-hit, no-run game.
1t 1t had been only a scrub team 80
much Importance would not be at
tached to it, but the Kalispell team
Is among the fastest semi-profession-
ais now playing ball, and Archie and
his team are deserving of a great
deal of credit.
He was supported admirably by
his whole staff: everyone of them
seeming to know right where to be
to get the ball, and it was impossi-
BILE for Kalispell to put a hit thru
the line, which seemed to be inn
Qregnable.
The only scores that were made
were made in the first inning. Skin
ner was the first man to bat, and
was hit by the pitcher which let him
to first base. Barton made nice
little sacrifice hit, getting out on
first, but advanced Skinner to sec
ond. Mackay came up and swatted
one over the left field fence. scor-
ing Skinner and himself. lMazurie
got a safe hit. but was put out try
ing to steal second, and Coins was
caught out by the short stop, re-
tiring the side. The rest of the in
nings resulted in goose eggs for
both sides.
Considerable enthusiasm was in
jected into the game by the band,
which turned out in full force and
rendered short spirited selections be-
tween each inning. The band at a
ball game is a great drawing card.
FRIDAYS GAME.
Fridays game was played right
after a heavy rain, and the diamond
was covered with thick coating of
mud. Every little while during the
course of the game there was a cold
drizzle. which took the snap out of
the players, and they played in a
listless sort of way. In spite of
that there was a good turnout to
see the game. but everything was
SO cold and damp and wet and mud
dy that very little enthusiasm was
displayed. and many left without
waiting to see the finish.
Bottles was in the box for the
locals. but seemed to be playing
in hard luck. He was hit pretty
hard all through the game and was
touched up for one home run by
Trekel. who brought in three SCORES.
The final score was 5 to 0 in favor
of Kalispell. A stranger by the
name of Stack umpired, hut
it was very unsatisfactory to the
fans, who did not hesitate in let
ting him know what they thought of
his rotten" decisions. |
TURN ABOUT.
In last Sundays game Whitefish
put it all over Kalispell again to
the tune of to g. O'Niel pitched
for Whitefish against Raasch.
Raasch didn't have thing that the
Whitefish boys could not get next
to and they just batted the horse
hide around at their pleasure. |
Hetchkoe 1attened his batting aver
age up pretty we'll by knocking two
home runs. One of them is said to
be the longest drive ever known to
go over the Kalispell fence.
Things were pretty much reversed
In the game on the Fourth. Coins
and Thompson. the two generals,
opposed each other. but somehow
kalispell got next to Coins after
the fifth inning, and coupled with
a few errors Whitefish was de-
feated by score Of Z to 2. The
game was witnessed by the biggest
crowd that has ever seen these two
teams play.
