Show OGDEN DEFEATS liUMdIRtU I till When eighteen husky balltosscrs, comprising the two best amateur clubs in "Weber county, cannot trim "Dad" Gimlin's fast bunch, in fact fail to score a run against the team, Ogden fans will stnrt arguing with themselves Just whero to look to find an aggregation that can take tha state league champions into camp. The threatened down ifall of Gimlin's men failed to take place at the Fair grounds yesterday afternoon. To be exact, the attempt fell so flat that a big crowd of holiday fans was rubbed of an expected pleasure that which would have come with the defeat of the fast local bunch at the hands of the suburbanites. Gimlin's men prac-tically prac-tically scored at will, riling up eleven runs in the prescribed number of In-nincs, In-nincs, while the North Osden and Plain City allied forces failed to put a man across the counter. But If the result was unexpected, the gnrne nevertheless furnlshod an afternoon of rare snort. The game was one of tho first cf its kin 1 eve played In the intormountain country, and will be remembered as nno -which will come the nearest to oh owing tho real strength of Oglen's 1911 team. The micrtnintv of tho out rami and Ihe varied opinions r.hnrcd hv the fans war; ver plnluly rteunnstrato-1 In tho assortment of fritn iiy wagers which are paid to have been placed on the result Count ry dollars were. laid Jit ten to ono that te allied tonus would not be blanl ed. while even mon-. ey and five to two wna placed that the combined forces wou'd win, Tim unwloldllness of a team of eighteen men was conwWolv overcome, over-come, and the gnmc went along as smoothlv as any contest ever risked on tho local p-pnnris. The ordinal arrangement ar-rangement cillpd for the. North Ocdon and Huntsvllle team, but the latter organization ccase'I playing a few days ago an I it 'var found lmnoselbln to get the members torotbor for tlh game. Consn iciitly the Plain Cltv club wab called upon to nolo out. !nd as this team recently won the Weber county bun' in In amaVir circle': tho change brooked no good for Gimlin's men, Tho members of the two lpp.m: were asBlgilcd to their regular positions in tho plnylpg field, except that they aB-surned aB-surned a position either In advanco or in the rear of the normal stand which would have been taken bad there been but one team in the field. Tho North Ogden battery, E. Randall and Snooks, worked In the first four Innings, and the Plain City battery, 8ingleton and Richardson, worked lr the last half. Tho extra pitch": served as an inlieider while not work ing in the box and the extra backstop looked after foul flies behind the active ac-tive catcher. Charlie Froine, on the mound -for Ogden, had the amateur batsmen on his hip at all stages. He allowed them but five singles and struck out seven of them. The batting list ofthc nU lied teams was so lengthy that only twenty-four of the men faced Freinc a second time, the remaining three having but opportunity each to strike out, which they promptly did. At no time throughout the nine Innings In-nings did the suburbanites become dangerous. In their eighth round i base on balls enabled two men to reach second, but their activities ceased at this station. The first man was caught napping and tho second expired from general causes. In spite of the thickly populated playing space, especially the outfield, Gimlin's men swatted out some clean hits, four of which went for two stations. sta-tions. In several cases hot grounders hurtled through three cr four of the amateur players, but there were at the some lime some strong spots in the line-up of the combined team"'. Poulsen, a Plain City man at second, made a fine showing, and Brown, in the left garden for North 0?den, showed some speed. Both teams showed weaknesses in their pitching departments. E Randall, who is a veteran of tho game and worked for the North Ogden Og-den team, hurle-1 the first four Innings In-nings and was very unsteady. A com- uiiitbiwii u' ihu iubi2tjo, t mu ui singles sin-gles and a couple of doubles, gave Ogden Og-den its first three runs in the third round. No more runs were gathered during Randall's term of service. Singleton, the Plnin City slabblst, is a much younger man and appeared stronger than his North Ogden rival when he went on duty, but eventually proved less successful. Six safeties were cleaned off his delivery in the last four innings and, netted "Dad's" men their other eight counters. The score: OGDEN. ? AB. R. II. PO. A. E.
