son for many days was pulled or
al Base Ball Park last Sunday
when the Sidney Ball Iossers lined
up against the Invincibles One
of the three games which the In
vincibles have lost this season was
won by Sidney on their home
grounds several weeks ago, and
this was the return game. lhe
Invincibles were determined to
even up with Sidney and the latter
were equally determined to win
second game il possible from the
Invincibles who are recognized as
the best players;in Northern Mon
tana.
The result OF this enthusiastic
but friendly rivalry was a snappy
ten inning game with victory Tor
either side i'm the balance until the
last hall oil the tenth inning, when
Mccormack, who was suffering
from a broken finger received ear
lier in the game, went to bat and
made base hat and was brought
IN by three bagger by Dugan.
In the first inning the Sidney
boys were retired in one-two-three
order, but when the lnvlncibles
came to bat Dugan and McCor-
mack each made tally.
Both teams secured goose eggs
during the next two innings. In
the fourtn Sidney made her first
tally, brought III by Leach, while
the Inylncibles tailed to connect
and the score stood 10 IN favor
OF 0ulbertson.
In the htlh Sidney retired w,ih
big goose egg while HSrstrom,
Slette ana McNeil rolled up three
tallies Tor the Invlncibles making
the score 5 toI.
Brownlee, the Sidney pitcher
was exchanged for Leach at tins
time, and the Sidney boys girded
up their Ions and showed they
were still dead game sports.
Leach held the hits down IN the
sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth
so that the Invincibles secured
only big oyphers in each OF these
innings.
While catching a thrown ball IN
the sixth Mccormack, the catcher
for the InvincIbles had his third
finger disjointed so that the end oil
the bone stuck out through the SKIN.
He was forced to retire for time
and Dugan was put IN as catcher.
In the eighth inning while Sid
ney was at bat Smith, the Culbert-
son pitcher seemed tn relax a little
with the result that McLane,
Leach, Mitchell and LZioker each
brought in a tally ior Sidney which
tied the score hve to FIVE. AT this
II stage the enthusiasm on both sides
was unbounded and Umpire Slat-
terry had hard time keeping the
fans of the diamond. The Irwin
cibles failed to score in the last
.. halt OF the eighth and both teams
failed to score IN the inth.
Enthusiasm was at its height IN
the tenth, Sidney failed to score.
Mccormack came back to the
grounds after having his finger
dressed and gamely went to bat.
He made a base hit and was
brought in by Dugan's three base
hit and the game was won.
