There was silence on both sides thereafter there-after until the fourth, which was Salt Lake's best inning. In the fourth the Saints settled the licorice .ball controversy contro-versy and also made four runs. All of the four runs were earned. Looks Like Victory.

Then Bayless drew a walk, and Orr knocked it over the left field fence.

Would that the memory of the first half of the seventh might fade quickly and permanently; but, alas, the dice don "t fall that way. Me Larry started the crime of 'lf by drawing a walk. Bassler replaced Boles, and singled. Davis followed in kind, filling the bases. Then Jim Galloway, lame in one of his long legs, but manifestly sound in both of nig long arms, knocked a scorcher into right, scoring McLarry, and leaving the bases still full. At this point Fittery was sent in. It appeared as if Fittery surely had Mag-pert Mag-pert struck out, but the umpire didnH call them that way, and instead of being be-ing fanned, Maggert slashed a two-bagger two-bagger into center, scoring Bassler and Davis, and sending Zabel, running for Galloway, to third. Ellis hoisted a sacrifice sac-rifice fly to right, and Zabel scored. Where 'twas Lost. Welter pushed a stinger into right,1 and Maggert scored, with the run that won the game. Koerner also singled, and then Joe Schultz had to make himself him-self heard with a double that sent in both Wolter and Koerner. McLarry, upon his second appearance at the plate, 1 grounded out, and Bassler walked. The side retired when Schultz and Bassler essayed a double steal, Schultz .being nailed at the plate. In Salt Lake's eighth, Quintan singled and Sninn walked. Orr fanned, and Hannah was hit with a pitched ball, filling fill-ing the bases. Hall relieved Hogg at this interesting stage, and as soon as Bassler got hold of the hall he picked Hannah off first, making two out. Fittery Fit-tery hit Davis, who filing him out at first, ending a promising chance for a! few runs. In the ninth, Brief got a single, but! as there were two out at the time it was . in vain.
