Corlett Simpkins was, taken from his position ns driver, and played right and left field, Corlett had not plnyed for some time nnd was not sure on fielding, thus tho shift from right to left, but to no avail they insisted upon following him. But tho errors thnt ho mndo were well evened up when ho came to tho bat, out of four times up, he mado three clean hits. Richfield game, August 17, Richfield i 11, Cedar City 4. This was a good' game and all tho boys played well, if there was any individual who deserved , special mention it would he Root, who played n wonderful game on second base. We wero up agninst a pitcher with'n reputation of pitching numerous numer-ous no-run and no-hit games, who nlso received a salary if $200 per month for pitching.

This was a six inning gnmo discontinued in account of rain. El-1 sinorc was reputed to have one of the best if not the best tenm in thnt sec-1 tion and the game was just like tho1 score looks, a fast snappy camo both1 teams playing unerring ball. George Nelson pitched n wonderful game for. Cedar. Marysvale game, August 20, Cedar in, Marysvale, C. All tho men were on their toes and played good consis-' tent ball and tho result was never in doubt, although the Mnrysvale team1 nnd its rooters never lost hope until tho last mnn wns retired. Tne Codnr tenm is one we enn well be proud of, ns ball plnyers they, showed up well in fnct they were n better batting putfit by fnr than nny tenm wo hnve yet plnyed. On this pnrticulnr trip tho tenm wns under n big'handienp. The loss of Wntson nt Pnngultch. who wns cnlled homo bocnuso of the denth of his father, was a shock to us, ns well ns lenving the short ston position emptv, knowing know-ing wo would hnve to trnvel n lomr way to renlace him.
