Show HEN'S TRIPLE PLAY IT SEENBY UMPIRE Special to The Tribune. OGDEN. May IC Manager MeCloskcy's Ogdcn bund name Into its own this afternoon after-noon after eight straight defeats, and administered a sound drubbing to Mc-Cafforty's Mc-Cafforty's Miners. By virtually driving two hurlcra from the mound, the Macks walked (o the wire by a 13 to 7 count. it was not that the visitors did not hit the ball, but ratlwr that the Mackmen hit it oftcner and with more telling effect, for out of fifteen safe blows, two were homers and two were triples. "Artie" Schimpff. in addition to working work-ing ns backstop during temporary disability dis-ability of Alexander and Stevens, had two home runs nil to himself. There was more "pep" displayed by both clubs In today's affairs than In cither of the two previous games, and every member of the gallant little crew In the grandstand grand-stand and bleachers left the park singing a praise chorus. Had It not been for an oversight on the part of Umpire " nasty" Wright, the Ogdcn club probably would havb added a triple play to Its excellent day s work In addition to reducing tho visitors' score to about three. In the third round, with Dockstador on third und Mathes on second, sec-ond, Whaling hit on a lino to Pilcher Vvarron, who blocked the ball, but it glanced off his glove and was caught on the fly by Shortstop McQuald. When the ball was hit. Wright started for the plate to see the expected play on Dockstadcr, and did not see McQuald catch the ball. Kxpectlng nothing else save a clean hit, Dockstader was across the plate and Mathes was on third when the ball was relayed to third and second for a triple, but as lie did not sec tho ball caught, the official could do nothing save declare all three men safe. The total of four runs In this inning would have been cut off had Wright called the triple. If the game had resulted in Butte's favor Manager Man-ager McCloskcy had ample grounds on which to protest. Manager McCafferty went Into pitch his first game against the locals, and tho ten clean blows In five Innings was sufficient to drive him from the mound. JImmio .Tachs succeeded the Butte lender, and was less effective after his first two innings, tho blowup being almost complete com-plete in the eighth. With the Indian sign on McCafferty and Jachs, and Carl Druhot suffering from a bruised thumb, as the result, of blocking a hot grounder in yesterday's game, there docs not soem to he much left for the Miners in th0 remainder re-mainder of the Ogden series. "Kid" Warren, the 19-year-old recruit, again demonstrated that he has the makings mak-ings of a classy hurler. Outside of possibly possi-bly two rounds he had the visitors com-plotcl com-plotcl outguessed throughout today's struggle. Both lineups underwent considerable revision for this game. Owing to the Injury to Thirdbascman Duddy, Manager Man-ager McCafferty sent Levy to third, whaling' to second and stationed Catcher Kafora on first. Strlpp worked behind for Butte. For Ogden "Artie" Schlmprf succeeded Substitute Catcher Stevens, and, worked like a veteran' backstop. Wcs.slcr worked at second and Big Ed Lrlckson was stationed on first. He covered cov-ered the bag with credit to himself. The score: BUTTE. t-v , . , AB. H. H. PO. A. IS.
