Show " SPORTS OGDEN 001 CLASSES BREENRIVER CLUB After promising faithfully to strengthen his team and send in his I very best hurier, the manager of tho Green River baseball club took his aggregation of nonr bnll players out to the fair grounds yesterday afternoon after-noon nnd saw them slaughtered in a wholesale massacre which made Saturday's affair look like a real game. The score vesterday was 10 to 0. If GImlln's men toyed with the Wy-omlng Wy-omlng bunch Saturday they simply romped with them yesterday. The first game was not bad to look upon, for Green River occasionally (twice on the occasionally) scored. This second affair was a holy riot of hits and runs for Ogden, errors, bonehead plays and mistakes for Green River. While the Saturday game cannot be considered much of an inducement, about 1,100 fans and fanesscs were attracted to tho lot, in the hope Ibat Schoonovor might mako good; that the visitors might recover their proud goat and perhaps some kind of a game might result. The first performance per-formance was not only repeated but Intensified Schoonover, tho southpaw reserved for the last battle, was hit hard, but at that he was a decided improvement improve-ment over either of the others who essayed to work in the first struggle No pitcher living can be expected to show class, or the inclination to show class, when tho support behind him leaks at every Joint. This Is the answer an-swer to Ogden's 16 runs, the 12 safe swats being merely Incidental. There Is enough Internal friction in tho Green River club to supply several sev-eral teams for seasons through. It showed up In the Saturday game and broke out at every turn yesterday. Every member of the team knows how to play the other fellow's position1 posi-tion1 belter than he knows how to play bis own. If Jones throws the ball away Smith and the other seven Immediately Imme-diately tell him how many kinds of a boob and gink that he Is. That's one way to play baseball, but there are also several other ways But, to get back to the game Schoonover lasted five innings. Aft er eight safe swats and a whole armful arm-ful of errors had put eight men over the plate, ho was relieved from duty and Gaston, who had been stationed at third base, was sent in to hurl. Schoonover might have continued throughout the game but for an error er-ror which cost four runs. This was in the fifth. Plake had singled and been sacrificed around to third. With the two men down, Clark hit a high fly to Shaw at short. It was the easiest of chances, but that worthy juggled it like a cheap busher. Plake came over and then followed a hit-fest hit-fest which amounted to two doubles and a single and spilled another trio of runs over the plate. Shaw's error netting exactly four scores. No hits were gleaned off Gaston In the sixth, but errors netted a pair of runs. The eighth, under his supervision, supervi-sion, was the worse period of the game. There were only four bingles in this frame, but they were interpolated inter-polated -with enough bots to rjike the getting of a half dozen runs a perfect pipe. It Is not hard to account for Green River's failure to put a score across. "Maggie'' Murphy was the chief reason. rea-son. Scatter two singles and a double throughout nine innings and back them up with perfect support and the Chicago Nationals wouldn't score. Murphy pitched the greatest game of the present season. He was in real danger but once. Nowell, the first man up in tho opening period, rolled a fast one down the third base line and made It stand up for a single. He purloined second and Rawlings' error, the only mistake charged to Ogden. let him around to third. But Nowell kindly assisted GImlln's men In making It a shutout. With nobody down, Mallot rolled an easy one to Murphy and the runner on third accommodatingly tried to score. He was tagged several feet off the plate. Pitcher Gaston slammed a beautiful beauti-ful two-bagger to right after two were down in the seventh inning, and Incidentally Johnny Rawlings showed that there ie something else to baseball base-ball besides catching and throwing a ball. Gaston was steaming past second sec-ond on a drive that was almost a homer when Rawlings conceived the Idea that Gaston had not touched the second base bag. lie imparted this Information to the runner as he flew past. Gaston returned to touch the bag, and then It was too late to make third. It matters not whether Gaston did or did not touch the bag, the 'limps' didn't sec It, but Gaston fell for the bluff by allowing himself to be argued out of it. Thus endcih a snd tale. What next? Walt. The Green River team Is now hankering for revenge. No, oh no; they don't expect to do It themselves, but they have an Idea that the Cheyenne Indians can do it for them. Well. Mr. Gimlln, the Ogden Og-den fans would be only too pleased to see Wyoming's crack team In action Therefore, bring on the" Indians, but please keep Green River on the other side of tho Utah Hue.
