Show H Bassey and His Little Bat B Helps Blank to Do It Again H "Highbinders" Grab the Game After Skyscrapers H Had It Nicely Tucked Away; Van . Pulls Off "Bonehead" Batteries today: For Salt Lake Dressan and Weaver. For Missoula Zamlock or Bush and Blankcnship. Game begins at 3:30. Kofer will probably be on first today as Manager Buck . Weaver has decided that Van will not do. Van will not be re-fH re-fH leased, but Kaefer will be given a try-out. Billy Davis has won IH a permanent job. If somebody has to be released it will be the weakest man on the team, whoever he may be, but not Davis. ONCE more did the Blankenship's highbinders not Highlanders Highland-ers rout the vassals of: Sir Richard Coolcy and Cooler's .jousl-ing .jousl-ing field yesterday afternoon aud when the Gooleyites, with IH bent lances, nicked' escutcheons and dented helmets, were sent into fm retirement at the end .op the ninth round, the tally stood 5 to 4 in favor of tlic visitors. H Some ball game' Yes, raaybo you think so but the thousand or more fans and i'ancsses couldn't sec it that way, for with the same safely tucked away in the ice box the Mightly Jensen weakened tH in the eighth inning- and allowed Blank's bunch to garner four count-BH count-BH rrs ifud place themselves two tallies to the good. And it all happened just when the bugs were yawning and muttering to each other "well, LH Ids ao home, it's all oer." I And then fehero were some other things which wcro not conducive to anv izreat amount of hiliirity on tho part of the faun. Salt Lako came- biick Mroiijx i" Its half of the eighth inning, in-ning, scored one rim and with only one more needed to tie up tho game, Van pulled off a. play which, sad to admit, must bo classed as "bonehead." With one man down Orr was on third and Van on first. Several tunes Van had a fair chance to swipo the second lack, but he clung to tirft like a barnacle. When Pendleton fanned Van made one grand dash for the second sec-ond station The hall boat him to tho sari; by fifteen fcot, yet ho konj, on coing and was put out. Had ho turned back toward first and made the Highbinders High-binders play for him, Orr would have had time to sneak in from third. Hill taken all in all it was a. good lame from almost every point of view, i There was -plenty of popper all .the wav aud t,he playing was fast and spci'tneulnr. Tiupiro "Speck'' Hurlburt was on the .inb and started the. gamo five minutes min-utes ahead of time. Outside of that and being impartially incorrect in colling coll-ing balls and strikes, he spent a very siH'CCfisfnl afternoon. There was plenty of spectacular stuff all through the game. In tho fourth inning Billy Davis pulled off a stunt which only'goes to Mrongthcn the general gen-eral belief that he always knows what he is doing on the ball field. Ho drew a pass and when Orr grounded out to the infield Changnon left, third uncovered, uncov-ered, going" almost to second baso to back up Oriet who took the ball. "Davis saw the opening and started for third. He and m Changnon. ran a pretty race, but Davis won by a nod and a moment later scored on Van 's short, single. This bit of play bv .Davis resulted in one of the almost priceless runs which tho Skvscrapcrs annexed during the conflict. con-flict. Jensen was doing some great slab work for the Oooloysox up fo the fatal eighth, allowing only threo hits up to that time. Then ho weakened and with two men on bases Bassey slapped the pill fquaro on the main seam and away it sailed over toward Stato street. Another An-other tally also went to tho credit of t,he Highbinders in this session and the old ball game wa3 shot to smithereens. smith-ereens. Rut what's tho difference. They will go at it again today. Coolcy still has honea. ''Where are you all going to a fu- neral?" he shouted as the downcast fans filed out of the stands after yesterday's yes-terday's slaughter.
