Show I STANDS ON HIS' HEAD AFTER CATCHING FLY-Fortier FLY-Fortier Does Amazing Acrobatic Stunt and Spencer Steals Home, but Ogden Wins Game 8 to 1. Hp OD AY'S game between Ogden and Salt Lake will be called at I 4:30 o'clock instead of 3:30, in order to give fans an opportu-nity opportu-nity to visit other attractions if they wish to do so. Morgan and Mann will be the battery for Salt Lake and Erickson and Perkins Per-kins for Ogden. I What for a time promised lo bo. one of the clafsleat ball games of the series turned Into a. Plugging bee In Its later, stapes yestorday. and McCloskcy s herd of pill pushers hung an S-to-I victory over the Cooleysox. Again, as In the first game of the present engagement. It wan-Irvine wan-Irvine .TcnKen, a former Skyscraper, that pulled up Ogdcn'n flng. Irvine's ball was a red-hot ono over the Inside of the plate, right close to the battels chin, then a lazy one would slip over the plate In ueh wrlgglv fashion as to glvo tho unlucky un-lucky Coolcysox a cold chill. This would be followed by a speedy drop or some other effectlvo twister. There were a handful of ardent boosters on hand and Jensen's performance mot with considerable disapproval at their hands. They therefore undertook to "kid" him. but that was of no avail. They sought to divert his attention by calling him "Little Annie," but that only made things worse. Jensen Just kept plugging away und when the game was over ho stopped sweating and smiled. George Blttrolff took tho ruhber for tho home team and for the first five Innings ho was somewhat of a mystery himself. He used lots of saliva and when ho got tho pill well saturated ho put such a deceiving kink into It that three lusty twines or a little pop up and a drink of water Just about accounted for each Mackman In turn. In the sixth Inning, howover. It was alleged that "Bit" lost his bitter alum because the moist stuff lost Us effectiveness effec-tiveness and Ogden leaned on him for threo runs. That did not tell the tale elthe'r. for from then on tho mysterious bend lost Its mystery and Blttrolff was easy picking. There was not the necessary pep behind be-hind George, while on tho contrary Ogden Og-den played errorless ball and was full of ginger. Billy Fortier pulled off a circus stunt. Some one banged a long fly to left and BUlv Jumped up Into the air and speared It. That was not all. Fortier was going so fast when ho mado said leap that when ho came down it was tho top of his head that hit the ground first. He was not hurt, though, and tho next bounce set him square on his feet while his body failed to touch tho ground at any time. It was the first tlmo a ball plnycr caught a fly and stood on his head on the local grounds. Another thing that thrilled the crowd was a theft of homo In the first Inning by Heine Spencer. This was done when two were out and two strikes on the batter, so you sec how closoly Salt Lake escaped being shrut ouL Buck. Weaver la not yet able to catch and Mann took his place again yesterday, yester-day, Mann was In the poorest form of tho year and besides being credited with sevoral passed halls he let the baso runners run-ners run their own game. Ogden began tho run-getting In the first when Spencer singled down the third-base line and, after stealing second and third, scored on a passed ball. Salt Lake took its only counter in the last half of the first when Spencer doubled dou-bled to left center, took third on an infield out by Bauor and sneaked hqmc. That stopped all scoring until tho sixth, when McCloakny grabbed three. Van singled lo center and Wcssler took Arst on Pendleton's boot. Schlmpff put them on third and second when he got first on an error, and then Jensen scored both Van and Wesslor with a hot single to left. Perkins singled to center and scored Schlmpff. Another run was added to Ogden's scoro In tho seventh when Wosslcr beat out a bunt, stole second and third and then scored when Mann dropped Schlmpff's third strike. In the ninth a triplet of counters was put over. Spencer doubled to center and took third on a passed ball. Van singled and Spencer scored. Wcssler hit to Dres-san, Dres-san, and as thoro was no ono on first to take Dressan's throw Wcssler was safo. Then Van and Wcssler -worked tho double steal, taking third and second, respectively. re-spectively. They both romped homo when Schlmpff hit a clean single to center. OGDEN. 4 AB. R. H. PO. A. E.
