At Provo Springville 1, Provo 2, 12 innings. j Ninety-nine and two-thirds per cent of the baseball fans of Provo missed the most thrilling and exciting excit-ing game played here since Fifth West was Provo's Main street, while the other one-third and the large crowd of kids that played tag in the grand stand saw the most hair raising and animated ball , game when the Timps defeated the Springville nine Wednesday afternoon after-noon in the first 12 innings game of the season by the score of 2 to 1. Say, Ben, there was enough meat in that contest to last for six months conversation. ' And t lie few fans who follewed their instinct and went to Timp park even though it did rain like sixty just before the game were paid in full for their trouble. They saw a game which more than once caused them to stand up and yell themselves hoarse. The tense situations situ-ations that arose Inning after Inning In-ning made little electric sparks chase each other up and down the bneks of the fans. Although the Timps touched Snow for eleven hits he kept them pretty well scattered allowing only two hits in each of the second and twelfth inning, no hits In the first, ninth and eleventh innings and one each in the remaining innings. Davidson scored the first run in the second on Connnt's two-bagger. Snow scored Springville's lone tally in the fourth. went to third on Christenson's two-bagger. two-bagger. Things looked mighty dark for Provo at that time. Groesbeck was saved on first, while Christenson Christen-son stayed on second and Davidson on third as Smith sent the ball to the home plate Instead of to first base. While it looked gloomy at hte time, perhaps it was the best thing that could have been done. It was then thnt Raile sent Dyer to pitch while Westover took Dyer's place at shortstop., Raile stopped Davis' hot grounder ground-er and shot the ball home just in time to prevent Davidson from scoring. scor-ing. Packard struck out by Dyer and the fans breathed easier once more. It was in the twelfth that Provo scored the winning run. Dyer was out on a centerfield fly and Davidson David-son filed out to third base. Berry connected for a safe one. Snow was afraid to let Conant get anywhere around the ball and let him take first on a walk, thinking, no doubt, that he would strike out Mantage, who had taken Hinckley's place in thp right field in the tenth and who on his previous trip to the bat had whiffed the air. Montage felt keenly the sting of being picked out as a weakling and to get even smacked one of the first offering's from Snow with a healthy swing that sent the pill straight over second base and into the outer garden. Berry lost no time In covering the bases and was home a second or more before the ball was in the catcher's hands. And Provo won the most exciting excit-ing game seen here for a long time, while the fans congratulated themselves all the way home for not letting a little rain scare them away from a ball game, Smith pitched another wonderful game for the Timps. For ten and one-third innings he allowed only six hits. To save him from defeat Smith was taken out in the tenth after one man was out and all the bases were filled. Realizing that Smith was iiiesirMiced Jin the game to solve such n situation, Rnile sent Dyer to relieve him at that stage. Smith was given a glad hand by the fans as he went to the dug-out. i That tenth inning had the perspiration per-spiration standing out several inches on the foreheads of the fans while the mercury went way down their spinal columns. Jones reached first when Conant muffed his grounder down the first base line, but was out the next instant, in-stant, Dyer- to Raile, as Davidson, a new Springville player, reached first on a fielder's choice.
