the Mavericks played rings around
\ SiIrer City, letting the visitors
down Sunday afternoon with score
OF eightto two, just two more than was
done to them Saturday afternoon Sun
day. like Saturday. the local team Just
simply played better baseball than the
Miners. In neither game did the Silver
ties make it interesting enough to

the ball to the batter or to a base
without stepping out OF his tracks, and
this is what fools the runner. Stealing
