THE TICKLE MOB.

THE FICkIE MOB.
tBy Rooney Dobbs.)
When McGill's smoke has settled
and the battle won,
If it only happens that your team
There is always a merry and joyful
band
OF heroes who are eager to shake
You hand.
The largest circus tent would not
begin
To hold them the day you win
But If you r beaten when the
struggle ends
You don't need assistance to COM
pute your frineds
For there are many who are less
piOidSC
With their admiration on the day
you lose.
McGill, Nevada, Yes Sir. that am
the name of our camp, and, Sir, we
also have baseball, and Away close
exciting games. But. Sunday, Sir.
We had a very bad day, We and our
two teams. The smelter and
concentration played nine innings
and, Sir, the score at the finish was
IA to Z in favor of our mill boys.
But. Sir, you have to erase such
scores as that because 1t only occurs
cnce a season.
Getting down to facts, let us hope
that so much said will be the truth
for the coming Last Sun
days game of baseball at McGilfs
Polo grounds was more or less a
joke.
To start the game, We saw Jack
Reilly on the mound for the smelter
Jack struck out the first man to face
him. Pretty SOFT" was murmured
by one of our pretty lady fanettes
and soft was right, that strike out
being the one feature of the game
and the only feature.
There was enough different play
- l-kl .e.,. - r.nIa nnAfhn1
team. In every inning there wa
either a change in the lineup, or
man taken out of the game for no
making enough errors.
The day was really cold and meal
for a baseball game. The runs tina
we're made by the concentration wers
largely obtained through errors
Toward the latter part of the game
there was some good clean hittins
done on both sides. The real ex
citing moment in the game was II
the first half of the seventh inning
II. Scott. the first mar up. hit the
ball for a single. Cottrell, next up

Reilly, who was nov playing third

10 reach first In safety. Crawford
now shooting them over for the
smelter. passed Eberly. making the
cushions full. Then up came oul
friend, Harry Kelly and hits tbs
spheroid for a two base wallop ovel
the right felder's dome, scoring al
three men. The next three went out
in regular order.
There is a great deal of credit tc
be given to Mister William Wallace
Paterson. the umpire. He did wei
on all decisions, and there was not
kick heard from the fans or players
1t looks now as II the players realize
that Ii is the best thing not to be
aggressive with the imp.
The game was witnessed by some
one hundred fans, but a great many
of them left before the ninth inning
on account oil n emily weather
and the one-sided score.
We hear that next week will see
the first of the county league games
McGill's players should now get to-
gether and try their level best to be
the winner of the league the coming
season. The fans are certainly with
them and as long as there is any
kind of good playing being produced
the rabid bugs will surely help to
swell the treasury of MeGill's base
ball team.
