We were up agaJnst the leaders, the top-notchers, the lnvln-ciMes, lnvln-ciMes, the "Championa."- We feit like oid og Tray that has been worked overtime. You can't expect poor old Tray to bark every nlj-ht a eecond-Mory eecond-Mory man sidles .up-to tbe.front porch. Every old Tray must have his nights o!t But when the third inning- rolled around and the score etood 1 to 0 with the team from the Northwest having the cipher mark opposite their "score" we -began to ait up and take notice. Then when Reilly rapped TWO-TWO-BAGGERS in succea-vion succea-vion we began to pound with, our feet In the press box in the grand stand. Then we all got busy and soon our pedal extremities ex-tremities were all keeping time with that cheering martial air of "Sister Mary Walks Like This.".. Fairlyc-Well, Considering.- . Did the. Spokane teats put up .a good game? In victory we can afford to be charitable. Yes, they played f-a-l-r-l-y wa-l-l. that la cons paring, their work with any other team, but as far aa being in the sama class with us! Forglt it, forglt it, f orrlt It. - Lid you notice tha way MR. THOMAS ilayed ball. Bay Thomas can hav his in big letters like this T-H-O-M-A-8 all the time If he'll keep .up this same Arl mark. Compared with his work the Spokane team would need 'a moving van to catch the ball .In,. Thomas was tbexs wiih She xlellvary and the infield work in the 100 per cent class and don't make any mistake about thia either. The receiving end of Ihe battery, Leahy, is aUo entitled to the capital letters, ao here it is LEAHY. He had the ball down to second in what you might call gatllng-' gun time. It got there before it was due and aa a reauit any foolish Indian who stirred off of- the Thornton station wasn't started on tha warpath before he was taken into camp. . . Tnere "Wita th. Iffallet. Rellly's men were there yesterday with the mallet. Each -and every one of them discovered the slab could be used to ad-, vantage and all got busy. Aa a result they used the wagon tongue with a vigor that even the bleachers couldn't criticise. . - W sklnped a two-step home after the game and not even the theatening hurricane hurri-cane bothered us in the least. We felt as happy .aa a bull Ja a wel-nlled china shop. Nothing could have f eased us after tha game was pther. Not even the death of our mother-in-law would have materially mate-rially helped to fill- our joy cup to overflowing.- We were so premely happy. Hellly Has shown that his men canplay ball. All they need la to keep at it. There may be one or possibly two that should be placed elsewhere say sod dirlng, for examplebut ex-amplebut that will uu in time.-' As an all-around team they worked yesterday aa If they weie on -spv aktng"tPfms "wlta-one another and that all formalities of krtro-. duction had. be"v trTioxnly!fitea"4ed to' pefore "play ba41" was .caJiedt mm ',' Incidental ly it might be remarked right her that air. McKae,- who officiated as baseball Czar in the role of the umpire thoroughly. know. his. Una. He is aa umpire um-pire that is an 'umpire. McRae gets right up to the plata and keeps his eye on the ball. McRae umpires plays. Good Wprk of Thomas. But Thomas is entitled to the major part of yesterday's glory. . He has broken th ice. The Salt Lake team won. It shows what they can do. They lack nothing noth-ing but confidence. It's in .them to win and they can. Wty, we felt aa hapsy aa a man who has wrapped himself around half a dozen of Be nor Tomasso Bennettl's absinthe frappes. . Thomas had great control and plenty of speed. - His delivery had mayonnaise dressing sprinkled all over it. If any lacs waa lacking it wasn't the. fault of Man-ager Man-ager 'Chawley" Reilly. Reilly was out to m In and be certainly mad good.' Relay's men played ball as true as blued steel. -The Spokane team, with Mclnnes 4n th pitcher's box, had a good man, but then we just skimmed eight hits right off of the Indians' pitching cream. 11' 1 V. . A I . . 1. i of an even dozen of single "0's" If we bad striven a little more. As it was we came perilously near making it a shutout, but then 4 to 1 is very good, thank you. There will be many that will fall to show up for their morning chores this bright and festivs day. But then, what's the odds. We won and everything' is forgiven. for-given. We will all be around today to see Reilly again "turn the trick." . Jack McLeod was there with a red waistcoat that would have made a bull groggy. He has the exclusive rights to wear this blood-red vest anywhere below the switch line. - j-- Benor Tamasso "Bennett L" who "lost" 832 out of 332.59 recently, bet on, Reilly s men end Is now even with the bankers again. , He keeps bis money in bis shoes now and " sleeps with his boots on and one eye open. But enough. Why digress. : W won and je won in a canter. The tables -tell the tale of Joy to us In full. - I SALT LAKE. . . , , ' ' B. R. H. PO.
