Show WASN'T IN IT. THAT 18, PAY80N WASN'T IN THE GAME LAST 8ATURDAY. Provo Has nn Etsy Tim With tho Boasted Piijrson Baseball Team Our Friends From Our SUter City Were Not In It at Any Stage. Tho Payson baseball team camo over last Saturday to play ball with the Piovo champions. We regiet to say that the Paysunltej had been "all swelled up" by their Fourth of July victory over Sllvor City and the fulsome ful-some compliments paid them by the Globe-Header, but when they ran against a ball team thoy speedily lowered low-ered their colors, Tho victory was full and complete, and the Payson crowd got out of town so quick that they forgot to hid goodbye good-bye to their friends or even wait for their expense money. Poor boys, loo b.ull We must say that Wrldo, tho Payson umpire, did ihc bei-t he could to carry i oil the gann-, but the team failed to second his efforts. Both Harrison and King for Provo did excellent work, although neither had played a game for a month; In fact, tho former to save his arm presented pre-sented SHvnral hits to the Paysotiltcs after tho victory for the homo team was certain. Irvine, the Payson "wonder," proved (inly to be a womtor to his friends who hacked him, as singles, doubles, triplet anu homo runs rapidly followed each other every time the Provos weut to bat. Tho batting record of tho Provo team was pheuomlnal, and clinches their claim to being tho strongest, hitting team in Utah. (Ask King and Choules.) Victory for tho home team was assured ufler tbo first Inning, and the boys were not obliged to put up as good ball as they are capable of. The following Is the uttK-vv: Provo. Posltlbus. Payson. W.
