Show ROTARY CLUB VICTORS OVER FORT OFFICERS Though the game between Salt Lake and Ogden at Lucas field yesterday attracted at-tracted most of the attention of Salt Lake's fans, it was not the only ball gamo that commanded more than ordinary ordi-nary Interest. Out on the Fort Douglas diamond the 'husky athletes of the Rotary club and the officers of the Twentieth infantry engaged In. a pitched battle for more or less of six innings. At the end of that time the score showed that the Rotary club was ahead, 17 to G. It had been agreed by both teams that five Innings only should be played, but in the fourth inning, when the score stood 11 to 1 against them, the officers retaliated to such an extent that they managed to get five runs across the plate- It was then decided to play six innings, in order that the officers might have a still further fur-ther chance of winning. It looked for a. while as if they would tie the score, but all hope of this was quickly d&pelled when Centcrfielder George Relf of the Rotary club made a sensational running catch of Captain Shlpp's liner and retired the side lilght officers came to bat In this Inning. In its half of the sixth, however, the Rotary Ro-tary club piled up six more scores, thus cinching the game. The feature of the contest was the batting bat-ting of Harry Brown of the club team, who drove out a home run and four three-baggers and made the circuit of the bases another time on on error by the officers' center fielder. The teams lined up as follows: Rotary club Sam Neel, ss. ; George Relf. c. f.: George Ames, p. and 1 b.; Wiiliam Gill. 1 b. and p.; Lawrence Reynolds, Rey-nolds, c. : Harry Brown, 3 b.: Freeman Bassett, r. f.; Al Cowan. 1. f.; Joseph Nibley. 2 b.
