HAD Glmlln taken thc precaution to plant a rusty horseshoe under the homo plate at Walker's ball park, thc Elders would now stand onu notch higher In the pcrcentngo column. A certain clement known as "luck" was In evidence several times during yesterday's gamo apd had the nforc-mcntloncd element ele-ment been with the Saints they most certainly cer-tainly would have Mulshed first. But Mc-Closkcy Mc-Closkcy had thc sympathy of tho flckfo goddess and as a result tho Infants cap- lurcti ono ot me prettiest and rastost games played here this season. Salt Lake had all tho license In thc world to win. Thc Saints hit as well as the northerners and fielded almost as well, but still they were unable to secure tho necessary tallies. Essick allowed ten hits, most of which wero well apart. In the first and olghth Innings the Frult-Plckers Frult-Plckers grouped their ifo ones and land-cd land-cd fivp. runs. Essick walked but one man and struck out one. Starkells Performed Well. Starkclls, too, pitcher a good, steady game. Thc Boise twlrjcr was touched up a total of ten times, but tho hits came ot the wrong time to do much damage In iwo Innings tho Elders hunched n little, but six hits netted only two runs Starkclls Star-kclls fanned two. walked two and hit two hatters. McCloskcy's gang got hi it? line work at thc opening of the game "Lefty" Houtz cut looso with a (louble-sacker and advanced ad-vanced oneXcushlori on Flannery's hard drive to Essick. Buck Weaver was given llfo on an error by Clark, who failed to hold Weed's throw, nnd Houtz romped home. McKovltt walked. Elsoy died on a line drive to third and O'Connoll hit safely to the left field, scoring Weaver, who had stolen second. Babbitt walloped out another In the sumo direction and McKevItt came In. Hansen went out on a hot one to Bruyetle Strong's Spectacular Hit. In the- Kocond Inning Strong. Uir new man hclnc- trliwi nut ! rirv,iin ,.,.),. Oobjit. Strong was substituted in right field for Glm and was the first man to bat the second time up. Strong lived up to his name and the first time ho swung knocked thc horsehide high and wldo over tho left flold fenco for a home run. This blunt threw tho grand stand and bleachers Into an uproar. Strong was unable to hold the hot pace he had sot. and fanned the next two times he batted. He was replaced in the olghth inning bv Glmlln. The Saints gathered In their tallies In four dirrerent innings. Several times the baves would be wol llnhabltcd, but In no Inning did more than one Salt Lakci score. A beautiful effort was made to bat out victory in tho ninth. With two men gone, the Snlnls opened fire on Starkells and made three straight hits, scoring one run. With two mon on I he sacks. Glmlln lifted a high one to Babbitt and tho game was over. Jones, a Butte man. umpired tho game nnd got along fairly well. His decisions ttc-re questioned at times by tho plnvers and at one lime a riot seemed imminent Spectators crowded upon the field and but for tho prompt Interference of the police, trouble might have followed.
