Incident The most event ot of the game in the Railways half or of the With Pace on first Pictures Margetts came up lie He tOok kindly to thE seCOnd ball that Webster I l t with Ith and It to for keeps The looked d like Uke a comet as it whizzed out between second and thIrd something ilke eight feet teet above the earth parth But Risley was it t As s he heard the bat crock crack against the ball p

scored on Paces dou hIe Bert came to bat He been abe to do anything with Web Webster ster and the Salt Laker was mightily kled when PIctures missed the first two he struck at The grin was still stUl on countenance when he sailed one straight toward the plato plate It suited ette sufficiently for tor he whacked I It out among m nS the trees In deep riGht rIghta a field anti and arOund to third There he ed however for ferr ASbury sawed and 1 Beville perished perish d at first I The other Margett Nels gave guve a exhibition of lion how to play I the Initial He accepted twelve chances some Home of them difficult anel had no or er I of omissions lons or commission Nals sol solve Bevill s puzzles though I for tor he fanned three times imes New Rules Satisfactory The operation of tie tte revised rules was wat hed with considerable inter est und and the general verdict was that the changes are all rIght Umpire Smith seem to be a bit well posted on them He attempted to call a man out when he fouled after aCter two strikes but RIsley protested and showed him the law It sa says that fouls are to be caned called strikes up to two but after that the pla player er is entitled to miss clean or have the th third ld strike called on him Another time tried to out a urve against Nels Margetta ribs I ls Is promptly started for first but was called back for ler the new rules a hit by a pitched does oes not entitle the batter to a base Yesterdays s game holds out high promise or of baseball to come score do does s not indicate a very ing contest but the Railways made an all of their runs In two Innings and the SuIt Salt Lak Lakes s aU all or of thel theirs In three The tames tallIes were mainly the result of butter fingers at critical periods but some hard hitting was isna a prominent factor The strikeout recO records 5 of the pitchers It ill be seen are large arge This is ne ac counted for by the fact that the 1901 rules are an all In favor favol of the twirling staffs It Is easily within the bounds of truth to sa that say forty strikes yes es I were called on fouls The work of the opening day was ly scat enough to furnish a line Une on what I the m men n can do Beville has non an assortment I of curves but he was as wild as a Hock Rocky goat He seemed to i get a shade the worst of the umpirIng too hails being caned called In several in I stances that almost split the plate Even Een with his wildness and the umpirIng however er Beville might have won his game with proper i I Shepherd Is out of his element at short He Is a heady little pitcher and IL a good outfielder but he is weak on ground bulls balls anti amI showed it ft Barnes needs bracing at second He Hc went Into territory and missed fly In the sixth and started a balloon ascension for the Railways from which they descend Still it Is hardly fair to blame Barnes for there was no body to tell Liar ilm that Asbury was corn com lug Ing up rp behind after that same fly Cap tale tain was way out In center and even If ff he had tried to coach his voIce have been heard The net result of the error was five runs and a ease case of rattie from whIch the ClIppen de derites rUes reCOver wind pad

e The other Salt Lakers with one or two played ban ball fast enough for Au gusts gust instead of April The Game in Detail The two first Innings were devoid of interest except for tor s catch and for tor Paces es single lIngle tire the first filst of the season In the half of the third led Jed off with a single Be yule ville duplicated the hit although he evidently trIed to sacrIfice Shepherd fanned but Barnes pushed a slow one I down to Hanley which was badly messed and lecke scored Kimmerer I Was next He gave the redoubtable I an opportunity to touch off a double play but Duds equal to th the occasion He lot let the bull ball get clear aWa awty from hint him while BevIlle skIpped across the plate flied filed to and Pace ended the agony ugny by I Jetting the hall ball beat him to first The Railways got Into and out of a tight place In the third drew n a pass Beville failed to han handle tle bounder and with n nobody bod out things looked squally But McQuade flied filed to Gamble bounced one down to first that Bert took care 0 of and by the third fIrst route It was for both sides side in the fourth but In the fifth WU was imminent Tire The Railways s had the first chance chanc After Beville and Shep herd hu ha i been put away Barnes laced out n a corking s1 single col ol lowed with a double but ulI Iti Shanahan could do was to lift tL ii fly to The Salt Lak Lakes 8 had bad un an even evon better chance Margetts Nelson tailed failed to connect but Webster hit safely gt tree free transportation to the first corner Mc Ic Quade do business wIth Be Then Gamble was wan ticketed and the sacks were aU all occupied Hanley tried hard to the ball bail over the cen fence but the best he could do waS isaS a grounder to who was unkind enough to throw hIm out at first There was nothing doing for the RaIl ways Ip the sixth but the Griffin aggregation aggregation gation collected quite ot of tal lies Ues Four safe drIves a double b by Risley coupled with ith a brace of errors and a notable absence or of head headwork headwork work did the trick I The Seventh was wai unproductive for I U fl 1 I l 1 I c 1 11 r A l V 1 11 I 1 w wj wI I I t III I I 11 I j jj

former In th the latter The Railways half of the eighth as already ady been de described described scribed Th The Griffin push puh picked up a couple In this subdivision without overexerting themselves The big 0 was the tho Railways portion In the ninth and having accumulated sufficient for day the Salt Lakers make any anymore anymore more trouble for their opponents Comparison of the Teams Taken as a whole the Salt Lakes seem strong r than the Railways That was the impression the average spectator tor gathered from yesterdays exhibition exhibition tion Both teams are short on collective i work They have not practiced als I enough to be thoroughly posted A sample of thin was given by b the Salt SaIt Lakes Captain Risley was on and McCausland on first when Morrow came to the bat The They started to work a double steal and In at least two In Instances instances stances had the trick all but turned when Morrow spoiled It by attempting II to bunt Had he let the ball bail go by either time the runners would have I advanced themselves The Railways showed theIr lack of team work when both Asbury and anil Barn Barnes s started for the same fly In right I field It was properly A ball baU but Barnes mistook signals or get gat any and the result was that he col i i with Asbury und and the ban baIl hit the ground while several runners scored I OJ o the individual work of the Salt I Ln Lakes es there is considerable to corn com I mend The outfielders Zieta McQuade j jand and Gamble hall hail little to do c catching n I I only four flies files between two fell feU to None Kone of the chances was at all difficult Hanley appeared I somewhat weak at second but his er error error was no more Inexcusable than His Ris Hisley leys ley and Risley is ranked as one of the most reliable of infielders Nels Margetts might cover more ground at first Had he been playing a little fur further further ther from his bag he might have cut cutoff oft off one hit yesterday Morrow had four chances at first accepting three ot of them with neatness and dispatch He HeI Is likely to prove a valuable man manThe I The Salt Lake battery was aU all that could have been desired While the Railways got more hits off of Webster I than thun the other side did off of Beville the former was steadier throughout S allowing only two bases on bans balls Mc McCausland McCausland Causland caught In his form formund und and that Is sayIng all that can be said of him He Is as good a catcher as was wasI I ever seen on the local diamond The Railway outfield Is strong f enough to go against any of the teams Shanahan Kimmerer Asbury had two putouts each but the latter was deplorably weak with the stick Un Unless Unless less the players sho show better form the Railway Infield will ivill have to be strengthened This Is specially true of I short and second played yesterday b by Shepherd and Barnes They accumulated accumulated four errors between them on easy chances Barnes redeemed himself in ina Ina a measure at the bat but Shepherd did I nothing commendable there Bert Ma getts nt at first and at thIrd showed to good advantage although the latter is charged with one error Beville pitched splendidly for five fie In Innings Innings and then let down H He may show stronger as the season advances Pace catch atch a particularly good game gume His throwing to bases Was quite weak and he had one passed ball baU Beville was wasa 1 a hard man to catch yesterday esterday how however ever eyer and with a steadier pitcher Pace ought to improve In his work Hell HeU have to develop his throwing qualities though The detailed score follows The summary Salt Lakes AB no B H PO A E I 1 f 2 1 02 0 2 O 0 0 McQuade c f i 2 i 1 1 0 0 G Gamble r t 0 1 1 0 0 Hanley 21 b 5 2 1 1
