red.hot, r%ival-town ball game here
Sunday afternoon. The game was be-

little town twenty miles north on a
branch Of the Northern Pacific. Darcy

for an exciting time. We were not
disappointed.
The game began at three o'clock.
Both teams were good, and the bat
ting throughout was fine. The be-
ginning for the first inning was rath-
err weak, but both sides frightened up
after that and the fielders "glommed"
everything in sight. The Darcy
team, not being regularly organized,
brought along a few men from ROds'
ers, il town on the same line closer
To Sanborn. Their catcher, from
Rodgers, was a heady player, and al
ways knew what to do. He made no
errors. On the local side, Harry Dun

crowd cheered wildly.
1t was a good game, played well and
fairly, and with only a few errors.
The pitching on both sides was good,
and nobody-this was early in the
game-had anything to say about the
umpire. Every thing pointed TO a
close game, finished with satisfaction
on both sides as far as satisfaction
in such cases usually goes. But there
were some in the crowd who had
seen other Dazey-SanDOrn games. II
these were seer to shake their heads
doubtfully, in evident distrust OF the
smoothness with which the game was
being played. The tronble79 started

The thief on second sack had slid,

game frightened yisibly. They were
playing wonderful ball when they
closed up the seventh and entered
the eighth inning when Taylor, the
Sanborn pitcher, was hit in the eye
by a bounding batted ball, and fore

began to get a few more hits from
Taylor's successor, but the local man
