MissouIa fans and the members oil me
Salt Lake team alike burst ont in yens
Of Gerson for the wr,S5t aes,sion coMld M have
given but one excuse for making sucn
decision. and that is that he might
not have seen the play at all
Dressan Well Supported.
Both pitchers were hit quite hard TO,
day, but Salt Lake played an ,mproeea e
sationally behind Dressan,
Iarns. was again wild and the SKY
scrapers also took kindly to his oner'nss
Salt Lake drew first blood. In the sec
ond Orr was given lifa at first wnen
Thompson dropped his long fly and inc
eaux -hit for Il single over second. Singles
by Orr and pendleton gave salt Lake
another In the fourth.
Van walked In the sixth, stole second,
took third on Walsh's boot of OTIS
grounder and scored on pretty hit and
run with DevereauX.
In the seventh Dressan singled and
ronped home when Spencer HIT for two
bases against the left field fence. Not
until the eighth did Salt Lake put the
game away for safe keeping. but In that
spasm johnny Pendleton relieved the
anxiety OF Manager Blankenship, who
now watching the game through
hole in the fence,
over Murray's head. Pendleton surprised
and outguessed Jachs by taking three
balls and no strikes and picking out the
fourth one which was right in the
groove, and driving il far over Thomp
sons head in what is locally known as
Hell Gate canyon.
Dressan hit for two sacks, hut Umpire
Wright called Perkins out at the plate.
Spencer also walked and stole second,
Both Dressan and spencer scored when
Dashbaugh funbLed Abbotts drive and
later threw badly to frst,
Missoula's first run was an earned one.
McCaftnrty opened UP with two saCker
over Spencer's garden and MoNey Manuel
sent In his new manager with single
over second. Manuel took first In the
seventh when DevereauN failed To handle
his tantalizine bounder and scored on
single by Fennell and a secrifice fly by
Jachs.
Pendleton Hits Homer.
Aside from Pendleton's home run drive
one OF the bright features Of the game
vas the hitting and base running OF Leo
Dressan. Drsssan hit the ball on the
nose every time up ard ran bases like
Ty Cobb
Perkins after a rest of several days,
caught an elegant game and Orr and
Pendleton played as Salt Lake fans have
seen them on their best days. The team
as a whole played much better Than yes
tcrday and the inftelders have accus
toned themselves to the Missoula infield.
Brick DevereauN. whom Mssouans
have dubbed Brigham Young" made a
big hit with the fans Brick was in n
joshing mood today and caused many a
laugh from the stands.
In the eighth he opened the inning by
hitting the ball almost to the club house
IN center field. While rounding first
Jacis began TO kid Brick by informing
him that he was pretty lucky"
Brick came back with the reply. That's
keeping your hits scattered. jim: some
outside and some inside OF the fence"
