By the same score which Idaho
Springs twice defeated the locals
s to 3-the Gilpin Mines boys hit
their stride and defeated the George
town team on the local grounds Sun
day. The game was close and excit-
ing, and was in doubt until the 7th
inning, when the Miners scored
three runs and relieved the suspense.
Bolsinger pitched the entire game
for the home boys in a most credit
able manner. Several times it look
ed very much as though the visit
ors would gain a commanding lead.
but with mastery pitching and good
support, the Miners pulled out of the
hole. The team is gradually commeno'
ing to round into shape. The third
station and the garden are pretty
weak in spots. This year seems to
be an off one for Ray Parsons and
he should be given a chance to rest
up. Ray is warm weather player
and maybe little later on in the
season, will make 'em all sit up and
take notice.
