Show SKYSCRAPERS DEFEAT MISSOULA Dick Cooley's Skyscrapers won the first game of their series with tho Missoula top-notchers Tuesday afternoon, after-noon, the scoro being 10 to 5, and the result being duo, to some extent, to the fact that Manager Blankenahlp was banished from the park early in I the game, and was consequently un-lablo un-lablo to direct the work of his men I during the remainder of the game. It lis also intimated that Umpire 'Speck" Hurlburt had a bad dav on balls and strikes. It Is even alleged that at one time after a batter had struck at a ball the umpire called It a ball. But neither team was robbed, and the battle bat-tle was a good one. Blankcnshlp s men got a run In the first, and gae the Salt l-'ike fan9 a chill. Then Salt Lake made three points, but in the fifth the Missoula men chased in three more runs, and the fans got real nervous. Heinle Spencer settled the dispute, however, by batting the ball clear over the right fiold fence with two Salt Lake men on the bases. Dressan for Salt Lake and Bush for Missoula pitched very creditable ball. |
