So there! Twas Bill that busted Ed Erlelcson's i o-.ilt gait In the seventh inning: of yes-'erduv's yes-'erduv's game. 'Twas a shame to do it, because the game was lost to Helena Hallow, and Bill might have forgotten about that batting average for t one more Inning at least. After Bill had broken the airtight streak, Ed pitched another Inning wlth-oti' wlth-oti' a hit. In the ninth, Cronin sot the second safe blow for the Vigilantes and t'len Mrlckson thought the boys might as uell fatten their string and ho let them ill ae much as they wanted to. That's 'iow it wa3 that Helena got three runs In the ninth Inning. Erickson Has It All. Erickson certainly had everything yesterday, yes-terday, lie made 'cm all hit little foozles O'1 fly balls. In eight innings only twenty twen-ty -seven Vigilantes faced the big fellow. Of the three of this number who saw llrst. ine got a pass, one was hit and one cot the first safe swat Erickson was going so good that he looked like a sure no-hit pitcher yesterday yester-day and so he was until, as related, the ( urly-fialrcd Wllhclm poked his bat acainst one In the seventh. Erickson lias put up some spectacular performances perform-ances for Salt Lake, but none was more ircdllable to him than was yesterday's macteily effort. Fast Fielding. Schlmpff was the fielding wonder of the "lour. He had eleven assists in the game, some of the chances being accepted In man clous fashion. Schlmpff kept Dresden Dres-den on tlrst busy completing retirements that started in his territory. Dichhcii had sixteen putouts. Xotable among SchimpfTs numerous I glutting plays may be mentioned his stop of Menses's slam in the seventh, nhich Artie collected with a seven-foot leap into the air. Another particularly beautiful stop was that which Schlmpff inade of Spencer' f blow In the ninth. As a matter of fact, with one or two ex-t ex-t options every chance Schlmpff had was a hard one. In the first. Hurl Spencor made a thrilling catch against the left contor Held fence of Menges's long fly. a feat which was accomplished after a long backward run Davis made a llashy stop and re-coer re-coer of Heinle Spencer's hot scooter in the sixth. Cronin distinguished himself him-self h catching a high foul that the wind was carrying away from him at n great rate. Frank Huelsman, Swatsman. Captain Frank Huelsman had an off dav at bat yesterday. In four times at bat he got only one home run. To be Jure. he got also a triple, a double and a "Ingle and scored a man with a sacrifice sac-rifice fl. He batted for a total of ten bases and his blows sent four scores across the plate. It was certainly an off da for the captlng. Other Salt Lake batmen had their sa" in yeeterdav's doings, as will be noted by consulting the compiled statistics sta-tistics The game wan stopped along about, the seventh Inning In order that the players and the big crowd of spectators might watch the aeroplane as It sailed gracefully grace-fully over the ball lot. Aviator Silas fhvJatopheron was given a fine hand for hm treat. Helena Pitchers Hammered. Sullivan started the game for Helena. After two hits had been made off him In the first Inning, one of them a hom run, he retired In favor of Ames.

Dressen started with a base on bails and Spencer singled through third. Both were advanced a baso on Davis's sacrifice. sacri-fice. Then Huelsman stepped forward with his hoop pole. The first ball Sullivan Sulli-van flung to him was straight over, and what the captain did to that Is not fit to print. It was a mighty clout and almost cleared the roof of the first house outside the lot. After Sullivan had given Pendleton a base on balls, ho quit, and Ames quickly retired the side. Five in Second. While they were making runs, the Skyscrapers Sky-scrapers thought they might a well make a-plenty. In the second, then. Ave crf.iic noino netore tiirce outs were recorded. re-corded. McClaln doubled to center and trotted home when Dressen duplicated to left. Dressen went to third on Spencer's put. Davis singled cleanly through the nlleld, scoring Dressen. Huelsman followed fol-lowed with a single and both advanced on a wild pitch. Then Murphy dropped a neat one over second and both Davis and Huelsman scored. Pendleton drove out a blngle. sending Murphv to third, hohimpff filed to Cronin. Pendleton started for second and Crittenden made the throw to Amos. The latter returned It. but the catcher dropped the throw and Murphy was safely over. Boost the Total. In the fourth. Salt Lake added one when Davis tripled to deep center and scored on Muclsman's sacrifice fly to Murray. Two more were collected In the sixth Spencer led ofT with a single, stole second sec-ond and scored when Ames threw the ball to the base when there was nobodv there to catch It. The ball went skipping skip-ping through tho hnmpety-bumps to tho center-field fence, making Spencer's task easy. After that Huelsman, Just to show there was no hard feeling on his part, hit the top rail of the left center-field fence, but the ball didn't quite go over, counting only a double for the batsman. Huelsman went to third on Murphy's out and scored when Pendleton dropped a safe one Into short right. Salt. Lake came near lifting the count one In the eighth, when Huelsman hit It for three bases, but he died ion third, the three succeeding batsmen being easy outs. Erickson Lets Up. Helena had a ninth-Inning "rally" with a string to It. The string was In Ed Erlckson's hands. When, with one down, Cronin hit Bafely over short for the second hit for his side, Erickson saw his hopes of a one-hit game vanish and he let his good right arm hang leisurely from Its hinges. In addition to Cronln's single. Menses got a triple on which tho former scored and Mengcs came homo on Qulgley's out. LussI doubled to the left-field fence and scored on Gibson's single.
