.SCOBEY WINS BY
LARGE SCORE
Daniels County Team Takes Last
Game of the Season from Local
Team In a Rather Queer Exhibition.

The last game Of the season on the
Plentywod diamond was won by SEQ
bey last Tuesday afternoon before a
crowd of over 1900 fans, and Scotey
carried off the hOnors by a score Of s
to z.
The exhibition was a disappoint-
ment to those who witnessed the
former game with Donaldson pitching
for Plentywood and Risberg for SEQ
hey.
In the first inning, Scobey annexed
runs, the rally beng started by an
error of Hester, a first baseman
from MinOt, who happened to be In
PlentywOod was To nave the best ma
and was hired with the idea that
Plentywod was to have the best ma
terial available.
In the third inning Scobey again
annexed three scores through errors
and umpire decisions that caused the
fans to groan as they sweltered in the
hot sun. Time and again as the ball
cut the corner Of the plate, the UNI
pire's voice howled out ball, and the
cclored pitcher laughed aud went back
\ t. the box to cut the center cf the
plate or work a strike out o. the bat
+ ter after he realized the umpire would
not give him the corners.
Anyway Scobey won the game and
/ it was a game in which Scobey got
all the breaks while the Plentywood
/ batters whanged the ball for long
fly hits which fell into a well as the
Scobey fielders gobbled them up.
1t was a hard game TO lose with
Donaldson pitching a wonderful game
against a severe handicap and it was
a great sight to see the colored Won
der go into the box laughing as his
team mates mutfed a ball or the jumps
gave the close ones to Scobey.
The Scobey team played a real star
game and they have a real aggrega-
ton Of ball players who know the
game from A to u and who play ball
for all there is in it. and Plentywood
has gotten together the only team, in
i Northeastern Montana and western
North Dakota who could give them
a run for their money.
The Plentywood team has had q
string OF bad breaks in the team this
season. 1t seems that ball players
who had quite a record before coming
to this city slumped in their batting
and fielding after joining the Plenty
wood team. These ball players were
let loose and others hired and the
same thing occurred. The team did
not seem to be able to get the ma
chine to working smoothly although
good salaries were paid the players
and they seemed to have a good rec
ord in former years.
The Plentywood team will play g
few more games away from home anC
will then disband one of the games
being today (Friday) at Scobey.
"A number of the PlentywoOd base
ball fans are figuring at this time OF
/ a different policy in forming a team
next year, and while the present
season was not as successful as many
of the fans wished, still the loca
team has put up a good brand of bal
and the fans have witnessed man!
good games.
Plentywood is without doubt tn,
best baseball town in the west for it
size and produces crowds Of fan
that would do honor to a city mucl
Z larger, and their support has beel
\ appreciated by the management o
: the local team.
/ Plans are now under way to get tn
{ fans together and formulate a neV
: and better team for next year unde
different basis and one which vii
no doubt appeal to the fans next sea
son.
