WEIGH AND TRIBE INTO
CAMP AFTER THRILLING
DIAMOND BATTLE.


trouble. The strain of that twelve-inn-
ing battle between the Smokcstacker-
and Marysville was terrific and when
the winning run came over about 1000
fans were fit subjects for a Iunacy com
mission. Percy Coffin got down on his
knees and offered up a prayer of thanks
giving before he could total up the dope
while the writer so far forgot himself
in the excitement that he gave away a
cigar to q total stranger.
1t was grand game. folks. viewed
from any angle, and was cram-iam full
of excitement from the opening hymn
to the benedction. That little town of
Marysville has one grand ball team and
its members would rather beat the
Smokestackers than shake the hand of
William Jennings Bryan. From the
time the teams faced each other at the
umpirc's call we knew we wcrc going
to see a beautiful scrap and believe us,
Clarce it was dandy.

TO tell all the sensational plays would
be to chronicle every inning Seemingly
impossible fielding stunts were pulled

drove an easy one to Martin and to the
horror OF the crowd ne let 1t get away
and h"ppler annexed third. Q'ugIey
stole second. keppler scored ON Dun
cans long fly to Welts. Just then SING
made his only wild pitch of the game
and Quigley scored, Slow music
In the seventh Everett took the lead
Ladd hit for two sacks Singleton
dropped one Just out of reach Of both
pitcher and shortstop and Million
walked. Martin hit and I.add was ont
at the plate. Levin hit, scoring Single
ton and Million. Old Reliable GiddingS
drove a stinger into right and Levin
scored Right mcrriIy the bell pealed
three times. In the eighth the hated foe
had to tie the score on two hits and
a sacrifice. Mr. Quigley. of course had
to play the stellar role of bIastor OF
our hopes. That young athlete was the
fly in the ointment all the way through
getting four hits ont Of five times up
stealing second twice. scoring one run
and driving in another and making him
self generally obnoxious,
From the eighth to the twelfth it was
neck and neck The tide of battle
flowed first in one direction and then
in another Sam Walker gripped his
seat in the "magnotes' box with both
hands while steady flow of entreoty
flowed from his lips. Hold EN- fellows
hold 'em! Singleton was growing
stronger with every inning, while Welsh
was plainly weakening under the strain
Three innings of magnificent support
saved Welsh but the end came suddenly
