The only semblance to a professional game which the Reds and Blues have this season played came off on the square yesterday before very considerable I con-siderable and a very enthusiastic turnout turn-out The Blues were this time the victors vic-tors by a score of 13 to 12 electrifying their friends and if we mistake not 1 somewhat astonishing themselves Barker Bar-ker went in to pitch for the Reds but was withdrawn when the Blues had made nine base hits off him in oneinning Kelly Golding succeeded him and displayed a skill which will very soon rank him beside West and Griffiths the game was very tight from the beginning the score standing 7 to 7 at the end of the sixth inning the Reds then took ustomaryspurt and at 41m rJ ff fV n ntfylit Innin fr the score the end of the eighth inning was announced as 13 tolOin their favor in the ninth the Blues scored but two runs and as they lacked one of coming to the Reds the last half of that inning up in-ning was ignored und all hands made ready for the foot race Just as the race was about to be called a reporter of THE HERALD in taking down the score detected that the runs only footed up 12 to 12 the scorers attention being directed to this it was found that one run had been credited the Reds in error and that the score had really been a tie at the conclusion of the first half of the ninth innings when the playing ceased As soon as the race was over therefore the bat and ball were taken up again with much hopefulness by the Blues and some protesting on the part of the Reds The latter made no runs in their ninth each one of the three balls being taken on the fly two of them by Gordon in centre the Blues then came in for their tenth amid much I excitement and scored one run the Reds came in and sustained a whitewash white-wash and the Blues were declared the victors amid a frenzy of yells Swift j made the remarkable play of the day the in sending a ball clean beyond trees over the fence and scoring of

much anticipation The Syracuse boy proved very pretty to look at but he must return re-turn to his native salt beds for a lifetimes life-times training before he ocsns rw to omnnwith Tibbets A good start was cope made and the runners kept even for a fifth of the distance when Tibbetts easily took the lead and kept taking it so persistently that before he had reached the goal he was able to slack his pace and look behind at the retreating retreat-ing form of his opponent The heat could easily have been made twentyfive feet The time was about 12 seconds A IrospectUc Pigeon Match A rumor has been circulated during the past day or so to the effect that a couple of the members of the Salt Lake shooting club will shortly issue a challenge chal-lenge to any two pigeon shots in the Territory for a goodsized purse The conditions of the proposed match if it can be so call lroposed not yet been made known although if there is anything any-thing in the rumor they will doubtless be known ere many days have elapsed The gentlemen whose names are linked with the affair can make a very interesting inter-esting match we believe for any who may choose to oppose them Tibbotts In Training The race run yesterday with HoeCQer docs notjgivt a fair instance of Rolla Tibbetts powers as he was somewhat fatigued from playing a heavy game of ball immediately in advance of it he is in daily training for the event with theO the-O den man Wright which must come oil sometime before October 12th for 50 a side Homer J Stonehas Tibbetts somewhat in charge and runs with him every morning before breakfast on the race course One method used in training I train-ing which Tibbetts has beenusing for some time past is to have one and one eighth of a pound of lead inserted into the soles of the shoe on each foot and whenever any practical running is done to wear these leaded shoes then when I the race comes off put the man into a pair of the lightest sandals or slippers and like a bird freed from a stone the theory is that he will go with redoubled velocity Logan Fall Meeting We are in receipt of a circular from the Logan Driving Park Association announcing the two days meeting at that

the streets yesterday smiling as cheerfully as if all the races had gone he opposite way to what they did Yes said he to our reporter we got left pretty badly and I am back with nothing but the Jiorse they were too fast for one thing and I was unable to get good shoeing and the horse did not come up to his own standard However we may get there yet Beach made preparations for his race with Hanian and he was hopeful of success He even went so far as to fit his boat with all the new rowine appliances ap-pliances He had his boots screwed on the stretcher in the same manner us Hanlan had his This is now believed to be a wonderful advantage as it gives far greater power to the legwork than the ordinary straps usually used by rowing men Beach trained under the superintendence of Tom Kelly who in his day trained Rush Tricket and Lay cock and it is Kellys opinion that Beach is better than any of these in their best day Some professional cricket players are wellpaid sportsmen Not so many years ago in England 25 was considered excellent pay for services rendered in an intcrshiral contest Recently Friday Fri-day August 22d Mr Printer the Gloucester Glou-cester professional received 150 for acting as the savior of his side in the England w Australian match On the following day Woof was similarly rewarded re-warded for a performance which in the north would not have been deemed anything more than mediocre Bells Life addSIf we progress at this rate we shall have our young amateurs turning out on strike for an extra allowance from home for every decent score they make or for every halfdozen wickets they take Among the new California players in the east who have made their mark this season may be mentioned Gagus of the Nationals of Washington who has developed de-veloped into a firstclass pitcher Cullen Cul-len of Wilmington who leads his club at the bat McLaughlin of Marietta 0 who has been made captain of the nine and excels at third base Eogarty of Philadelphia who has made an astonishing aston-ishing batting and Helding record and can have anything he looks at in that city Morris and Carrol who by their skulfnl efforts have placed Commbus second in the American League and Live Taylor Pittsburg and Omaha with the lastnamed nine with his tar rificbatting has materially assisted in paining many important victories including in-cluding the St Louis contest The steamship Zediandia f which reached San Francisco September 8 left Sydney the day before the BeachHan Ian race but stopping at Auckland picked up brief telegraphic news According Ac-cording to what is quoted as Hanlans own statement the race was even for half a mile when he gradually drew ahead at a mile and a half led by a length Here thinking Beach was out of his own water Hanian purposely ran into him thinking to win by a claim of foul but the umplre awarded the race to Beach who finished six lengths in front Accepting this statement as true but two points need mention That Beach at a suite and a half was pear enough to collide with Hanian 1 proves him to be tho fastest sculler who ever met the Canadian No man makes an intentional foul if he has any chance twin t-win otherwise and Hanlans action shows that he felt himself beginning to weaken and knew that Beach would row him down and take the lead before be-fore the end of the race It if however how-ever possible that these conclusions may be materially modified when full particulars are received by mail |
