But the Montana man proved a sur
prise not only to the AnSonS but to
himself and his manager as well. He
didn't think he had II in him. Neither
did Egan. And as 20 the spectators,

was a great mistake somewhere, and

man from the far west there will be an
awful massacre, for, as previously

ball, but that was accompanied by

SIattery Pitches Good Game.
AT that, Slattery pitched game that
would have sent him home winner in
nine cases out of ten. He allowed eight
hits, two for extra bases, but kept
them we'll scattered, and with tighter
support would have gone the regula
ton distance without mark against
him.
Twice his support wobbled and the
Muskies pulled into the score column
on both occaS ions. On the other hand.
the westerner had gilt edged support
when he needed it. and twice double
plays interfered with the offensive
plans of the Richards clan.
Hitting was not one OF the virtues
of the home band In this particular
game and it was either rainbow or
strike out most of the time. Once or
twice the luck broke and broke badly.

was perfectly set for the plays that
were pulled, and the balls being lifted

How the visitors obtained their

connect with Frankes speed. However,
to keep the account straight, it is we'll
TO explain that the Two runs gathered
by the Eganites We're not chargeable
to Slattery, as neither was earned. The
first tally resulted from an outburst
from Martini who gave a good eX
hibition of long distance throwing, but
poor craftsmanship. This lamentable
event was pulled n the first round.
Reinhart had just selected a f1oater to
his liking and had lifted it TO left field
for two sacks and when Martini re-
| covered the ball he found Reinhart
perched on second with no apparent
desire to proceed farther az the time.
For some reasoS, however, Martini
cut loose a throw, which, It would APP

opening, Reinhart ernigrated and was
on the visitors bench before the ball
had been relayed in.
Error Paves Way to Tally.
The Muskies looked dangerous in the
the second, but Runser vas cut off at
the plate by reason of Anderson's clean
fielding and good peg. In the third

by perfect peg by Martini, complet-

he went to second on Franke's sacri-

not look especially dangerous and Slat-
terry was not forced to extend himself.
