Show i Gunnison Flays Elsinore Team j The Gunnison Kings had little difficulty dif-ficulty in trimming tho wings of the , Elsinore ball team in a league game al the Gunnison diamond last Saturday Satur-day afternoon. The game for the major ma-jor part was of little interest, due to the fact that the visitors were outclassed out-classed and real ball playing for the home team was never forced during the entire game. The Kings walked away with a score of ten. while the Elsinore boys .piled up six. two of which were earned. Leo Pace, on the mound for Gunnison, Gunni-son, played a splendid game and gave a demonstration of his ability. He allowed ten hits, but all were scattering, scat-tering, and with the support from his fellow players the game was never in danger of being annexed to the belt of the visitors. During the game Pace struck out ten of the players from tho southland. Oral Nielson. playing second base for Elsinore, was the star player of t he day. At five times at bat he landed land-ed two home-runs, struck out once and was walked to first twice. The doughty batter is a farmer, and before be-fore coming to Gunnison weeded a half acre of beets, took a bath, rode forty-seven miles in an auto and landed here as prime and vicious as an old leaguer. , , Nielson was not the only one who picked a. home-run during the game. Dick Pace clouted one and stepped iu the Babo Ruth class. R. Nielson, the pitcher for the Elsinore Elsi-nore term, did not prove very effective ef-fective in his first appearance on the Gunnison diamond. For a lime he. started cut sharply, but it did not take the Kings long to drop on to the curves. During tho fifth and sixth innings he was pounded for eight safe hits, seven of which resulted in seven runs. In the opening inning three runs were made by the Gunnison lads and this resulted in Nielson tightening tighten-ing up until he weakened in the fifth, lie was credited with seven strikeouts strike-outs during the melee. The game was played before the first Saturday audience in Gunnison for many years. While the crowd was not as largo as was expected, there was a goodly sprinkling, and t is believed that when tho fact comes more widely advertised that tho games are being played on Saturday Satur-day instead of Sunday, the home crowds will be much larger and the. boys will receive (lie patronage they are justly cut it led to.
