Huelsman's Fence Ball.

In salt Lake s half OF the fourth
Captain Huelsman picked out the first
ball pitched and sent it over the fence.
1t was a peculiar drive in that il never
bent as much as an inch before it went
over, this fact being proof Of the pow
er which the captain put into the blow.
Probably it was the hardest hit of the
year, although it didn t look so. I'm
fortunately for Salt Lake, there was
none on bases when the captain laced
it over.
1t was q case of ticktack in the fifth
on both sides.
In the sixth there was. something do
ing for the visitors, when they got
their two counters over,
Potts was an inheld out. Hester
doubled to the center field fence. Faye
followed with a single to left field. The
ball took bad bound on the cement
like surface and Huelsman had diff
Faye scored when Kelly doubled to
left with a clean drive. That was as
far as the visitors got then or there
after.
The seventh was McGlypn round
by wide margin. If the crowd need.
ed any further introduction to the new
HEAVIER than it already had, that intro
duction came in this inning.
The session started with Dresser fy
ing out to Galena, who appeared to be
stationed out there for the express pur
pose of eating up fly balls. Davis hit
q fly to short center. Galena made a
brave try for it but he couldn t quite
reach and Davis lived. Schimpff flied
to Potts. Strip got neat little sin
gle over the infeld and then it was
McGlyun s turn.
The crowd gave him a great hand as
he passed the stand. He must have
heard the prominent citizens in the box
and decided to grab off an honorable
place on the honorable board Of city
commissioners, for he smiled a little
smile and clasped his stick.
Williams leaned backward and then
forward and, Zowie! the ball hit the
roof of the house Just outside the lot.
sion across the plate, the participants
being Davis, Strip and McGlynn.
Crowds in Uproar.
The stands fairly went wild over this
performance and they had good right
SO to 90 wild, because it was such a
performance as calls for wildness.
The Great Falls folks had one man
rally in the ninth, but it fzzled. With
one down, Toner doubled to right field,
but he got no farther. McGlynn cor
rectly interpreted the particular desires
of Delhi, who was put in to hit for Ca
lena, and of Chuck Weaver and he
certainly put those balls where they
couldn't hit 'em safe.
In spite Of the fact that the circus
was doing business directly across the
street from the ball park, an enormous
throng witnessed the game. The pres
ent series has afforded the best base:
ball Salt Lake has seen this year, and
the remaining two days no doubt will
see a great outpouring of fans.
There is some talk of transferring
one of the Butte-Salt Lake series to
this city, as finisher of the season,
Salt Lake did not make Butte on the
former northern trip, owing to the
races being a counter attraction. On
the journey which begins next Sunday
night Butte is scheduled for two weeks.
Also there is talk Of bringing the Great
Falls series at home to Salt Lake in
case the races prove too great an at
traction The people of Great Falls,
however, probably would not stand for
such swap.
Arrangements have been completed
for a game at Pocatello Monday on the
northern trip. Pocatello has fast team
and no doubt there will be spirited
battle in the Gateway when the Sky
scrapers clash with the Pocatello boys.
