Right off the reel they began to wallop
their opponent pitchers offerings to all
corners of the lot. Four hits was regis
tered in the first inning that Melted them
two runs. Then in the second frame they
clouted out a single and a triple that
gave them one more counter. These three
runs that they gathered in the first two
stanzas would of been sufficient to win
the game if they had put up any kind of
defense work. But on the contrary, their
wild throwing, muffing and bootirg the
ball about the lot came near to costing
them the game.
The third, fourth and fifth chapters the
locals were held scoreless, while at the
same time they allowed the visitors to
come from behind and tie up the score in
the fifth. Then with the opening of the
sixth and last stanza they allowed the
visitors to get two points the lead in the
game. However, the locals still had on
their war paint when they came to bat
and it filled the local fans with Joy to
see the local batsmen pound out a victory
in the last chapter.
Thompson worked upon the mound for
the visitors during the first four frames.
He was relieved in the fifth by Altman
who was successful in holding his OPP
ponents scoreless for one inning but with
the opening of the sixth frame he passed
one man and allowed two hits that filled
the bases and none had been retired.
Thompson then came to the rescue, think
ing perhaps he could stem the tide and
save the game. But, alas he allowed two
sacrifice hits, single and double that
netted the locals five counters in the last
frame. Thompson allowed nine hits and
struck out three men, in five innings.
During Altman's period in the box he al
lowed three hits, passed one on balls and
issued one wild pitch.
Santo who did the pitching for the
locals seemed to have an off day as we'll
as his teammates for he contributed quite
literally to the error column. His work
in welding the willow was good. He
made three trips to bat and connected
once for triple that drove in score
and again he layed down "a sacrifice that
brought in another score. He allowed
seven hits, passed three on balls, issued
three wild pitches and struck out two
men.

BASEBALL

The Silver Bow baseball team from
Minneapolis who crossed bats with the To-
Gals on July oath was administered to
terrible drubbing. The locals won the
game by hard hitting and when the last
man was put out and the final count was
made, the locals had the best of the en-
counter by to margin.
The locals more than crowned them
selves with glory in their offensive work.

PERCENTAGES
J.. r. S.

By request the scorer is contributing a
few facts as to how the local baseball
players are standing in their batting and
fielding averages. Lack of space will not
permit full detailed account of each and
every player so I will be obliged to con-
fine myself to those who have participated
in each and every game.
The whole team at this season of the
year has batting average of 2S3 per cent
while their fielding average stands at
S74 percent In the individual batting
percentages ON leads that list with 80
trips to bat and 10 hits to his credit that
gives him percentage of .487. Hick is
second with .429, while Biers is trotting
along in third place with 1888. San oc-
cupies fourth place with 1882 and Bona
is following close on his heels with ITS.
Eros is in sixth place with $50 to his
credit and Burn is coming along in his
wake with .242. Bile has made only nine
trips to bat but his percentage figures out
.222 and Loh's percentage is .202. VOL
has 200 points to his credit and liver
brings up the rear with .135 per cent.
Well who played only three games came
to bat six times, and sorry to say his per-
centage stands on the zero mark.
In the fielding percentages Wei heads
the list He had seven chances in three
games and handled all without an error,
giving him 1000 per cent. VOL has
played in two games and had only one
chance and by him accepting the same it
gave him 1000 per cent. Bona stands
third. He has had 10 chances in all and
slipped up only once this gives him a
percentage. of .947 and Burn has had 86
chances and juggled only five of them,
thus he has .942 points to his credit
Hick has had "a chances and seven of
these got by leaving a total of .917 points
to the good. ON stands next on the list
He has had II chances and one of these
got away, thus leaving him a percentage
of .9O9. Lob has had 50 chances and 8
of these slipped through his mitt leaving
him percentage of 1854. Eros comes
next. Out of as chances for him he has
made hobbies which has left him 1926
per cent to the good. Out of 46 chances
for liver he has slipped up on ten of them
therefore he has .7S3 points to the good.
San has had 81 chances and he has ac-
cepted "a of these, or percentage of ITS.
Biers is on the rear end with a per cent
of .71S. He has made two errors out of
seven chances. J. S. R.

Practically every animal but the lion is
taught to do what is wanted by giving it
reward every time it does it or makes
an effort to, either lump of sugar or a
vegetable or bit of fish or some other

possible with the lion as it eats only meat
and is only allowed a certain amount at
that. This increases the difficulty of the

and short muzzle, with curious black
patches about the eyes, give it an extraor-

live on roots, vegetables and bamboo
