The scoro was fi to 1. Tho gome was played on tho Poplar Grove diamond and was witnessed by close to 200 persons. The gamo was more interesting than the score Indicates. The clerks showed good early season form and two or three times made tho colts extend themselves a little to prevent scoring. There was a chill In tho air, however, and Blanken-shlp Blanken-shlp warned his men to take no chances on arm Injuries. The colts played errorless ball, while the clerks made four misplays at. critical crit-ical times, Johnson. Lees, .Tones and Gal-laclier Gal-laclier being tho worst-offenders. The clerks' lone run was mado off Byrd. Blankenshlp's prize twirler, who halted the Boston Red Sox No. 2 on Cummings Held last week. Jones, twirler twirl-er for ilie counter jumpers, broke into the home-run column In the eighth to save his nine from receiving a goose egg. He cannectcd squarely with one of Byrd's speedy offerings and tho ball, which wont to right field, took a bad bound and the clerks' slab artist circled the bags. Jones Pinks Two. In tho seventh Jones grew wild and hit two men and after batting In the home run in the clerks' half of the olghth gave way to Gallacher In the box. Aubrey for the clerks broke into the hit box for a three-bagger off. Byrd. Blankenshlp worked Hummel three innings. in-nings. Mackey throe and Byrd three. The clerks got one hit off Hummol, two off Mackey and five off Byrd, a total of eight hits as against only four obtained by the Colts, but the clerks were unable to make their hits count for runs. Blankenshlp's efforts along the linn of building up a machine are beginning to show, and tho Colls are rounding into form slowly but easily and well, and with a few more days of practice -will begin to Indicate what they are capable of. Tho Colts could liave run up a bigger big-ger score Sunday but Blankenshlp. besides be-sides being afraid to allow his men to take chances In the chill air. Is trying to build up a machine rather than to pile up largo scores in exhibition games- Blankenshlp hopes to practice on his own grounds today, and Saturday and Sunday it is likely that Ogden will be brought here for two exhibition games. The clerks give promise of developing into one of the fastest amateur nines in the city. They are managed by Chester Ches-ter Gremctt. while M. C. Smith acts aa coach and publicity man. COLTS. AB. R.
