GREAT FALLS. Aug. l Some of the s reaeons for yesterday'a defeat: Abbott waa hit by a pitched ball In the first Inning and had to retire, making It necessary for Perkins to catch while Blankenfhlp covered first base; Perkins being out of condition to catch, Morftan. who pitched like one of the 'blr stx" to the .opening game here, got awav with a bad 'lart and by the time he settled down his teammates became upstend'1. " ' And HchlmpfTs good right arm wasn t true and a bad throw allowed a score. Perkins caught a listless game and threw so badly that the Electric almost ran wild on him. and to make matters worse he mrnillted two third strikes to get away from him. each of the men getting get-ting to nnri. On of them scored. .Twice Perkins threw so badly to aeeond that the runnera were advanced a base, with anything like the usual team rjlay behind him Morgan should hsve got try with hla game, because Belt l-ake pounded enough hits to win and several of Great Falls long hit, which scored runs, should never " hsve happened but for errors ahead or them. , , Great Falls scored two earned mna In the first Inning on a alngie by Murphy, e sacrifice by Prout and a home run by Toner. The latter hit tha ball on a line over ehort and before the outfielders oould Set to It It had rolled so far thatthe eal thlrd-aacker had made the rounds. In the second Vance hit at Devereaux. the ball taking a bad hound and rolling safe. Vance purloined aeeond, Orr falling to back up Perkins's bsd throw, so ths ban rolled out to Schlmpff. who threw It badiv to Devereaux and the sphere disappeared dis-appeared Into the bleachera. eendlng Vance home Morgan permitted Great Falla to open the third with a walk to Toner. The latter took second when Orr booted Footer's Foo-ter's grounder. He took third on an Infield In-field out and scored on a similar plav. Kan singled with no one out In the fourth and was sacrificed to second by Murphy. Prout singled, putting Kane on third. Prout atarted to steal second and Perkins heaved the ball far wide of that base.

Pendleton struck out. Salt Lake waa unable to do a thing with Kane's bender until the third, when a double by Orr, a elntie by Pendleton and a three. sscker by Schlmpff netted two. Spencer scored Sslt Lake's other ran tn the seventh, when he took a run at one of Kane's slow ones and drove It out for the longeat hit ever seen on the local lot. Huelsman had previously held the long-distance record, but Great Falla players and fana alike atata that Spencer's Spen-cer's waa tha longest ever. A similar drive at Cooley park would have hit the top of the barn outside of the far comer of right field. , Schlmpff hit for two bases In the first of the eighth, but all other hands flssled out and the usual eleventh hour rally of th Skyeerapera went glimmering. ' Twenty-five, hundred persona saw tha game, end It le estimated that more then two thousand one-dollar tickets were eold. The dav waa known aa Boosters dsy throughout the town and all of the receipts, re-ceipts, with the exception of Salt Lake's guaranty, went Into the local baseball fund. One of the amusing features of the day occurred during the middle of tha game, when Howard Murphy. Great Fslle center fielder, was handed a telegram tele-gram - that the Murphy home at Fort worth. Tax., had been blessed by a visit of the stork. Murphy told some of his friends and they told the crowd. Murphy was erven an ovation when he came to the plate, and he lined out a pretty single. sin-gle. BlanktmUp Fined. One ef the playing features of the game waa the fielding of Schlmpff in center. The epaclotie level plalna which cnnatltute the local outfield are to SrhtmpfTe liking and In each of his appearances In the local center gardsn he haa grabbed files In a manner that haa made Blankenshlp wish that he had enough reliable pitchers ao that h could use Schlmpff aa a rexular eutflekler. He hit the ball splendidly, also. Orr hsd a good day at bat, but be waa somewhat off at short, Morgan ajraln had big Huelsman ejt hi etaff, etrtkfng him out twice with men on basse and forcing "Hippo" to submit to v eaay cute In each of tha tlmee up. Manager Blankenshlp waa fined tl for disputing atrrnuouaiv with Umpire Toman To-man ever a third etrike called on blm. Tleorge Hummel will do Salt Lake's pitching honora today.
