FALLS BY JUMPS
GREAT FALLS UMPIRE MAKES A
BAD DECiSION; ROBS WILLIAMS
OF WELL-EARNED GAME,
SECOND GAME Tie; SEVEN TO SEVEN

Beckel may be very good third
sacker, but in the position as umpire,
the one he held down during the first
game Sunday afternoon, Beckel is
lacking in many things, but the fore
most is square deal. 1t was in the
ninth inning that the bad decision was
made. The score stood to 3 in favor
OF the visitors when Johnson and Hop
klns made the first two out Morgan,
the next man up, made safe hit for
two bases and Edmondson came to
bat and made clean hit over the sec
ond baseman's head, and while the
visiting center fielder was throwing
the ball to the catch Morgan came
racing home and was sitting on the
plate when the catcher tagged him.
He was safe by a mile but the umpire
said out" thus ending the game that
should of at least been tie in the
ninth inning.
Beckel may have thought that Nor
gan was out or it may have been
that he did not see the play properly,
out at all events, his decision was a
very rotten one and by the way, it
caused him some very embarrassing
moment before he was finally rushed
to the hotel.
The Lewistown lads were the first
to start the run getting. This was in
the fifth inning. Hopkins, the first
man up, walked, Morgan followed and
Went to first. being hit by pitched
ball. Edmondson hit safe for one base.
Hoppy went to third and Morgan to
second. Brady, the next man up, also
went to first and scored Hopkins. RAY
o'Gonhell made a clean hit through
second and scored Edmondson. and
Morgan and Brady moved up base
respectively. Hicks famed. ThirWell
1anned and Lindsey grounded out TO
the pitcher.
Great Falls made their first runs in
the seventh inning. Hestor, the first
man up, hit safe for one base. Ryler
hit to third, and when Edmondson
went to throw the ball to second to
catch Hestor, he slipped and Bvler
ana Aestor were safe on third and
second, fappa went out Oh a fly to
right field, and on the throw in Hestor
