Show BUTTE DEFEATED BY SILT LIKE IN FIRST GAME Salt Lake. April CO. William Davis. . Esq , lay his chnhby form down to rest last night with a deep sigh of content They say the head that wears the crown doesn't lie very peacefully, hut they who sav that a3 wrong when they talk about Billy Da vis Davis was the hero of yesterday's game with Butte the real opener of the season In Salt Itke He has the distinction of winning the first battlo of the 11)14 Union association season for his clul. Of course, there were eight other fellows who contributed to that happy result, but Billy's Is the honor of the man who "seen his duty and done it nobl " The foundation for this panegyric is a home run The home run was mane by Billy when there were two Salt Lake runners on the bases and when the Butte team was one run ahead Inasmuch as tne Ducks never again got within hailing distance. Billy deserves the title of chief gull of the Sea Gull flock. There was ever so much clouting In yesterday ' game The Sea Culls touched up Jack Halls tor eighteen safe swats and the Ducks went to Johnny Schult for ten. In Justice to the pitchers, it should he said that it wasn't their fault that the total hits mounted so high. On dry field at least five Salt Lake's hits would have been cut off. and at least three of Butte's would never have been set down against Schultz. It was another miserable day fr I hall same. Umpire New-house was obliged to stop proceedings at one stage because a hoalthv voung hall-storm hall-storm put in an appearance and did thriving business for fifteen minutes The outfield was ankle deep In mud In spots and the flelJers could make haste bvit slowly. The ball was always wet and neither pitrhcrs nor fielders could handle It with any degree of satisfaction. BUTTE AB. R. H. PO. A. E.
