Pitches Good Game

What was the matter with the
Fallon base ball team Sunday is the
question heard everywhere from
those that witnessed the listless
game of base ball put over by the
local boys last Sunday.
Because Carson cancelled at the
last minute, Loveloek was called ON
the long distance telephone and con-
sented to come that the crowd of To-
cal fans might not be disappointed
Mr.. Parks of Loyelock can always
be counted upon to get together on
a moments notice a good aggrega-
ton of ball tossers as was evidenced
on the local diamond Sunday. Play
ing a brilliant game at short-stop
himself is an old story for him. At
first base, the high school boy, Ko-
foed showed to good advantage in
many difficult chances in the field.
Wightman from the same high
school in the pitchers box showed
nerve In tight places and proved
himself capable of coping with the
best of them when It comes to hand
ling the heavy hitting batters of the
local team. At times his work in
the bex proved an enigma TO the To-
cal batsman and set him back to
their dug-out after hitting the air
for three strikes. Again and again
IN the pinches the boy pulled him
self together and sent the local to
their bench in one. two three order.
The local fans showed their appree-
iation of Lovelock players fast work
by loud and continuous applause. In
the first inning Foulkes the fast sec
ond baseman of the local team made
a hit, went TO second on a wild
heave. stole third and came home
for the first score of the game when
Powell sent a line drive over second
base which was good for two bases;
Hawley flied out TO left field and
Dickerson went out from pitcher to
first base retiring the side. After
that the men on both teams went out
in rapid succession until the Love
lock half of the fourth inning when
with an error by Ferguson. playing
at third in the absence of Waite.
Herbert of LoYelock got a life on
first. went TO second with the aid of
a hit by DAWN. Park, the heavy hit
ting short-stop OF Lovelock leaned
against one OF Bailey's spit-ball Of
ferings for a three bagger scoring
two runs and then with daring base
stealing stole home, a thing that
Bailey had never had happen before
in his base ball experience With
the count three TO one against them
Fallon succeeded in putting a run
across the plate in the fifth inning
with two two-base hits and a three
bagger In this inning Bailey show
ed brilliantly on the bases, stealing
second by the aid OF the elassiest
kind of a hook slide ever witnessed
on the home lot. Right here the
Loveloek players. Park, Koloed and
Wassen pulled a neat double play
which nailed Bailey at the home
plate on very close margin which
retired the side and broke up a raj
ly which might have proven most
disasterous to the visitors.
In the seventh inning another bat
ting rally was staged by the local
players who succeeded in putting the
game on ice. so they thought. by
scoring three runs and giving them
the lead. In Lovelock's half of the
ninth, they got to Bailey again for
two hits which aided by some aero
plane work on the part of the local
inflelders gave them two runs with
no one out; after that Bailey took
another hitch in his belt aud the
next three men went out In rapid
fire play.
A big crowd of fans watched the
game but found little to get excited
