one of the local pitchers went in the
box for Pitkin and no more scores
for Gannison, be holding them down
Tor the remainder of the game. In
connection with this game it should
he said in Justice 10 Manager Will
llams and hls Pitkin team that NO
better sports ever played here. They
did not decide 70 come till after tram
time and then, rather than dissppoint
the Gunnlson crowds the Pitkin boys
boarded a railroad push-car and
came down here ON that, taking turns
at keeping the car in motion. Their
gameness was favorably commented
upon by several of the I~nver news
papers this week and the Gunnison
people appreciate the unusual efforts
the Pitkln players made to fill their
engagement
The afternoon game was the clean
est and most exciting that has been
played here for several years. Only
one error was made during the en-
tire game and that was an excusable
fluke ON the part of sullivan, short
stop for Gunnison, who fumbled be-
cause OF the roughness of the infield.
Two phenomenal catches were the
features of the Salida side of the
game. One of these was the grab
bing Of foul by Ford. third base
man, who after making a long run
stumbled over an irrigation ditch
just as he grasped the ball He fell
and rolled over but managed to re-
tain the ball. Gallagher, center
fielder for Salida. gathered in a long
fly shot out by kinsella, and which
would have brought two men over
the plate had the hit been safe
Gallagher ran more than loo feet
and caught the drive in his left hand
while ON a dead run Even the
Gunnison PLAYERS applauded the re-
markable catch.
The pitching of kinsella aud the
catching of Weaver furnished the
big features on the side of the locals.
In the fourth inning Salida filled the
bases and had only one out against
them The chances looked about
ten to one that they would score at
least two men and possibly three.
A scratch hit was all that WAS needed
and the rooters for the visitors were
more than confident that they would
get that hit Bot kinsella settlod
down at that point and with good
support retired the side without .
run. 1t was an uneasy five minutes
for the Gunnison hackers who fairly
went wild when the Gunnison pitcher
moved the third man down by strik-
ing him out in one-two-three order.
Daring the first three innings only
nine men faced kinsella and only
ten faced him in the last three in
nings. Only ttirty-fve men were
at bat for Salida in the entire ni,s
innings, a record of which aay
pitcher may well be proud. when f.c-
ing such q strong bunch - ~
Salida slugeers have proven thsa-
selves to be.
