Hoarts were broken and mended rapidly rap-idly at Coolev nark yesterday afternoon although a hrllliant slugging contest between be-tween Salt Lake and Great Falls which was Anally won In the ninth Inning after two men were out by a score of 10 to 9. It was a nerve-racking, but brilliantly played game. The locals demonstrated their wonderful gameness and kept coming com-ing from behind all the time. The game was filled with great hitting hit-ting and wonderful fielding. The game was a disastrous one for tho pitchers., but a brilliant, one for tho spectators. There never was a moment of confidence .for the rootors for either team, because both sides were hitting the ball so hard that a lead of two or three runs was not to be counted either way. After a. see-saw contest all of tho way the game was tied up, 9 to 9, at the end of the eighth inning. Garbor, who had replaced Morgan, blanked the visitors. In Salt Lake's half of the ninth Hlldc-brandt. Hlldc-brandt. the erstwhile hero of tho Great Falls team, made the locals a present of the game. After Garber fanned. Spencer doubled. Catcher Shannon stopped Hildobrnndt in the middle of the wlndup and Spencer went to third on the balk. Then Fortler went out. Clothier to Foster. With two gone. Hildebrandt made a wild pitch and Spencer walked home with the winning run. Pound Pitchers Hard. Hildebrandt went into the box In tho seventh, replacing Griffin, who In turn had replaced Cornelius. All cl the pltohars were pounded hard, including the former invincible Hildebrandt. Morgan Mor-gan made his first renppearance In the box since 1the return of the team, but showed that he was far from his old self. He was hit almost at will, the Great Falls sluggers getting seventeen hits, including two home runs. Garber. who replaced him In the ninth, held Great Falls hitless. but In doing this he was materially aided by Schimpff In center field, who made a wonderful running run-ning and jumping catch of Shannon's long drive to the fence. Pendleton was also a local hero. He dropped a ball over the fence for a long home run in the second. Salt Lake's' hits were noi as numerous as those of Great Falls, but they were better timed. Salt Lake, too. had more than Its share of good luck and this was one of the factors in winning the hard-fought hard-fought battle. Schimpff Pitches Today. In todays game little Schimpff, Salt Lake's wonderful utility man, will be In the box for the locals. Opposing him will be Carlon. the new Great Falls pitcher, who stopped Salt Lake's brilliant bril-liant ninth inning rally In the second Fourth of July game. Fortler will catch for Salt Lako and Shannon for Great Falls. If Schimpff falls to last through the game In the box. Hummel will replace him. Bitrolff will be Great Falis reserve re-serve pitcher. From the start yesterday Great Falls showed a dangerous familiarity with Morgan's Mor-gan's selections. B.y good luck and good fielding Morgan shut out Great Falls in the first inning, but the Electrics hit him for four runs In the second. In this frame Griffin started things by ,'oeatlng out a bunt. He stole second and scored on Clothier's single. The latter reached second sec-ond on the throw to catch Griffin at the plate, . Shannon drove one through "Brick" Devercaux and Clothier went to third. Cornelius sacrificed Shannon to second Murphy singled, scoring Shannon and Clothier. Prout fouled out and Huelsman doubled, scoring Murphy. Toner retired the side by flying out to Cordtz. Despite the disaster Salt Lake came hack hard, exhibiting the characteristic gameness that has contributed so much to the success of the locals throughout the season. Orr led off In the second with a vicious drive over short that looked good for two bags. Prout jumped high and pulled down the drive In a brilliant one-hand catch, robbing Orr of what seemed a certain cer-tain hit. Cornelius walked Devcreaux and when Pendleton came to bat the fans called for a home run. The little second baseman responded to the call and dropped a beauty far over the right field fence, scoring Devercaux ahead of him. Morgan flew out to Foster and Spencer went out Clothier to first. Foster, who batted 1.000 yestorday. getting get-ting four singles and a home run "out of five times up. opened with a scratch single through Orr In the third. Orr muffed Fortier's throw to eecond to catch Foster when Griffin bunted and Foster wont to third. Clothier attempted to sacrifice, but Griffin was caught at second sec-ond Shannon singled, scoring Foster, and later stole second, Cornelius struck dut and Murphy flew out to Van. The inning Increased Great Falls' lead by one. Salt Lake ' Comes Back." Salt Lako came close to tying the score in the third. Fortier performed his regular regu-lar trick of beating out a perfect bunt. Blankcnship's slnglo advanced him a base and they both went on a station when Cordtz was thrown out at first. Then Van doubled, scoring both runners. At this nolnt Griffin wan substituted for Cornelius and the next two batters were easv outs. H After one man was out three scratch 1 singles filled the bases for Great Falls j in the fourth. The next two men popped j out to Devercaux. Salt Lake, too. came j close to s-.'orlng In this Inning. After two iiHj nu-n were gotio Soenccr. who had reached J first on a fielder's choice, was advanced H to second by Fortier's single. Then the Hl two worked a perfect double steal. It H availed nothing, however, for Blankenshlp Hl was thrown out at first. Salt Lake's chances of winning dwln- H died when Shannon's single in the fifth f was followed by Murphy's home run, a j beautiful drive to the barn beyond the iiH center field fence. Griffin got wild In the H sixth and aided Salt Lake in gaining a H run. Griffin walked Morgan and Spencer. J ii Spencer was caught at second when H 1 Fortler grounded to Prout. but Morgan H went to third. Blankenshlp brought his 1 pitcher home with a lone single. Cordtz 1 and Van popped out to Prout. J The locals pounded Griffin from the M rubber in the seventh and apparently 1 put the game on ice, scoring three runs M and getting one run In tho lead. Orr j led off with a double and went to third j on DcVereaux's pop-up, which everybody 1 mood still and looked at. He scored on iiH Griffin's wild pitch. Pendleton singled J and Devercaux went to third. Morgan J helped to win his own game by pound- ing out a clean single, scoring Deveroaux and sending Pendleton to third. Morgan stole second. Then Hildebrandt waa sent In to replace Griffin. Spencer popped out to Clothier and Fortler drove a -long fly to Griffin, who had returned to right field. Pendleton scored on tho throw-in. Blankenshlp went out from second to first. Salt Lake's lead proved- futile, however, how-ever, for Groat Falls got two in the eighth, again taking the lead, this time apparently cinching the game. After Prout had gone out Dovereaux. to Blankenshlp, Blank-enshlp, Houlsman sent the ball to the center field fence for two bases. Spencer Spen-cer made a wonderful running catch of Toner's long fly to foul territory and the fans breathed easier. Then Fortier, next up, drove out one of the longest home runs of the season, high above the left field fence, scoring Heulsman and himself. him-self. Griffin popped out to Orr. The Saints tied the score in tho eighth after two men were out. Orr singled and wont to second on a wild pitch. Devercaux Dev-ercaux landed on tho blond pitcher for a double and Orr came home with the tying run. Pendleton popped out to Prout. Garber replaced Morgan In the ninth for Salt Lake and the Electrics went out one, two, three. Clothier flew out to Spencer. Then Shannon drove a liner almost to the center field fence. It looked good for about three bases, but Schimpff, who had replaced Cordtz In center, pulled It down after a spectacular running Jump. Garber then struck Hildebrandt Hil-debrandt out. Hildebrandt'B Present, Garber was first up for Salt Lake in the ninth and Hildebrandt balanced things by striking him out. Spencer then hit for two bases. Shannon stopped Hildebrandt in the middle of his wind-up and Spencer called attention to the balk and his attentiveness was rewarded by a gift of third base by the umpire. Fortier For-tier grounded out to Clothier and with two gone Blankenship came to bat. Tho first offering of Hildebrandt was a little wild, but Shannon hold it.

BUTTE. Montr. July 5. Butte's first attempt at twilight games was a miserable miser-able failure In more ways than one, and partook of a farce. The attendance was so slim as to make the twilight experiment experi-ment almost a joko. Butte won from Missoula with ease bv the score of 10 to 5. Both teams used two pitchers, and hits and errors were bunched, but Butte could have won at any stage of the game. The game was called at the end of the first half of tho seventh Inning on account of darkness. The score; MISSOULA. AB. R. XT. PO. A. E.
