SOLCIER BASEBALL TEAM FAIL-ED FAIL-ED -TQ SHOW BUT GAME IS STAGED ANYWAY The soldiers from the fort failed to arrive Sunday to play ball It rained so hard in Salt Lake they called the game off, but the Bingham boys sooner than disappoint the crowd that gathered to ste the game organized two teams of (Bingham players, and gave a very good exhibition of fast baseball. The betteries of the two teams were Whitley and Nicklos for one Bide and Ed Shaw and Joe Cush: man for the other. The game went nine innings and there was some fast playing and hard hitting on both teams. The i.Miners won by a score of 10 to 9. Next Sunday Bingham will play Tooele here. The game will be called at 3:30, and this promises to be the best game of the season, as Bingham Is out for revenge for their defeat In Toole, Way 19. The Tooele team Is composed of some professional players, play-ers, and with Ambrose pitching for them and with Len Scott behind the bat it sure looks like Bingham would have to do some fast playing to win, but Manager De'Laney claims the boys are practicing hard, and if they lose will blame no cne but themselves.
