FEAT FOR THE CAPITAL CITY

CARSON mot IN FALLONS CLASS
Fallon's Baseball Team Started
Season Sunday by Defeating Car
son Score IL to

Fallon's fast baseball team de-
feated the Carson team on the Oats.
Park diamond Sunday by the over
whelming score of II to five. Even
the disparity In figures fails to
measure the relative offensive and
defensive qualities of the two
teams, Fallon's ball tossers clearly
outclassing the Carson boys at
every department of the game.
At the end of the fifth inning the
score stood three to three and the
fans present had no inkling OF I'M
pending events. AT this 1uncture
Willie Steve and Joe Springer, local
Indian battery, succeeded Roy Ste
wart and Rose and celebrated their
advent into the lineup by hitting
safely. Steve doubling to right field
and scoring when Springer singled
into left field. Steve doubled at his
second time at bat and Springer
tripled and both scored again, the
Indian battery being credited with
four of Fallon's runs In their TWO
times ut bat.
]. Vance. playing second base nit
safely three times and drew base
on halls. being credited with four
runs out of five times at bat while
VIM. Powell. playing center field hit
safely four times out of six times at
hat and scored three runs. Two OF
Powell's hits went for two bags and
he played great game In the field
gathering In several long drives that
looked like hits when they left the
Carson batsmen's swatsticks.
u. Vance hit safely twice out of
six times up and scored one run, one
OF his hits being a double.
Felix at short played fast game
and fielded In big league fashion
He hit safely twice out of five times
up. one of his drives going for two
bases.
Altogether Fallon gathered 10
hits off Cornwell and Moose, Indian
pitchers from the Stewart institute
working for Carson, against nine
hits gathered ny the Capital players
off Stewart and Steve working In
the box for Fallon. OF Fallons
quota of hits. six were doubles and
two were three baggers. Carson get
ting two doubles.
Stewart famed six opposing bats
men In five frames and Steve one In
the last four innings. Cornwell who
opened for Carson famed three Fal-
Ion swatsmiths In six frames and
Moose who succeeded him famed as
many In two innings. Six OF Fai-
Ions hits came in the last two in
runs.
@. Ludwig, Barret, w. Ferguson
and Yarbrough all played splendid
ball for the Fallon team, which local
fadom assert Is To be the team thai
will administer the coupe de grace
to aspiring ball clubs In all parts OF
Nevada.
Roy Stewart. who worked the first
half of the game for the locals, has
a world of speed and fast breaking
curves and gives promise OF develop
ing into great finger as does
Willie Steve the big Piute lad from
the reservation east of town. These
two boxmen may be depended upon
to befuddle the best stickmen IN the
state and they will be carried on the
clubs payroll throughout the seas
on. Joe Springer. Steve's battery
mate. is classy little catcher but
has Stunned ball practice. An
effort is to be made by Manager Phil
Hursh. Jr., to get the little Indian
interested In the game and IL he viii
consent he will be carried as the
second string catcher throughout
the remainder of the season. He
pegs to second like veteran and
quickly showed the Carson boys that
undue base stealing liberties could
not he taken with him in the game.
An unfortunate accident put catch
er Rose out of the game In the fifth
inning when fast curve ball met
the little finger of his right hand
fairly on the end, splitting the digit
for nearly It's entire length, an ac-
cident that will probably keep him
out of the game for some time.
Fallon plays Lovelock on the lat
ter's home grounds next Sunday and
the team from here will be accom-
panied by several automobile loads
of loyal fans who will 60 over to root
for success.
