Show CEDAR BALL 'TEAM WINS TWO GAMES In Fast Holiday Match Local Pill Chasers Show Too Much Speed for Beavers. Well, Cedar City is on tho base ball map, and if the boys' live up to their present professions and promises, we are there to stay. All that is needed is persistence and a little of the right kind of support, and' Cedar City will have thechampion, ball tossers of-thu south. You would have gotten a "kick" out of it had you been in MinorsviU'e to see them blossom out in their new suita(?). You felt like gettting out of sight for fear you would hear some disparaging remark concerning your homo town. But, oh, boy! it wasn't long after the game started until you felt quite comfortable in the presence of all of 'em. The game with Mincrsville was a simple experiment, and consisted of Cedar batting tho apple (core and all) all over the lot until the men were tired out racing bases, and then of turning the stick over to the Miners-ville Miners-ville crowd and holding them down to only(?) 15 tallies, Cedai-'s scoro being 27. Mont Hunter eublazoncd his name on the honor roll of the day by scoring scor-ing the only home run. A number of the boys, however, were credited with thrce-baggcrs. Tho game with Milford tho following follow-ing day was quite a different matter, and both teams settled down at the outset to playing real base-ball tho big league stuff, you understand. And right here we want to say that Cedar has tho fastest bunch both in and out field that wo have ever hnd here. The vame was nip and tuck all tho way through, and was won as much by tho brilliant fielding of the Cedar team as anything else, though tho battery also did splendid work, holding hold-ing tho opponents down to a remarkably remark-ably small number of hits. Tho score at the end of tho game stood 8 to 7 in Cedar's favor, with another innings due our men which thoy did not need to win. Tho battery of the Cedar team for the game with Mincrsville was L. Nelson, Geo. Nelson and P. N. Wilkinson. Wilkin-son. For the game with Milford it was Ross and Bassler. Following is the complete lineup of the Cedar City team: Rassler, Wilkinson, catch. L. Nelson, Ross, G. Nelson, pitch. Leigh, 1st base. Root, 2nd base. Watson, short stop. 1). Nelson, 3rd base. Davis, right field. Milne, center field. Hunter, left field. In conclusion, wo have to say that Cedar City hns a baso ball team worthy wor-thy of support, and it is going to be supported, judging from the way tho business men loosened up the first time they were called upon. |
