Show Legionnaires Lose In Series With Visitors The Legionnaire ball team if this' city lost two games out of three with the Tintic Standard mine team in J the series of three games played on the local diamond last Sunday, Monday Mon-day and Tuesday. The big victory for the locals was on Tuesday when j the holiday crowd, numbering several hundred, saw the Legionnaires take the miners in with a,12-to-2 defeat. The locals certainly did things and the playing throughout was real league stuff. Smarting from the defeats of Sunday Sun-day and Monday every one of the Legionnaires was "pepped" with determination de-termination and at the opening of their time at the bat in the first inning in-ning there was strong evidence of "capping" the bacon and with this in j view the first four men to take the I willow clouted out hits, two being j for single bases, one a three-bagger and one for two bases. The introduction intro-duction put fear in the hearts of the visitors and never during the game was Gunnison in danger. Sorenson, the first to face the opposition, smashed a single and Jones followed with a two-bagger, afterwards stealing steal-ing third. Ernest Halverson, also with the fever, clouted out a single, scoring Jones. Pace hit for three bases, afterwards coming in on an error. The play gave Gunnison three scores. In the second Newman got a hit, Sorenson walked and Jones again singled, scoring Newman. The so niai; enviable records for themselves. them-selves. Mr. "Captain" Fowler did the twil ling l-ing for the Standards in the holiday game, and he was out of form at nil times. From the start the locals spotted his curves and it was easy. It might be a shame to tell on a "feller," "fel-ler," but it's a fact, the locals pounded him for 18 hits and, try as they might, the best he could do was to strike out only four men. Of the eighteen hits, five were for two bases and two were for three sacks. Following is the score: Tintic Standards. R. II. E. Nelson, c 0 0 0 Deval, lb ;0 1 2 Miller, 2b 0 1 0 C.
