Thi battle was between Pitchers Kuss and Scbultz of the Helena team and It hep a battle of control or rather lack of lr Honors were about even Kuss gave six bases on balls, Schultz gave only four, but he hit one batter and also got a wild pitch. Kuss wm hit safely four times and Schultz but once, but the runs were the same, three from each. Rex Ames wn found for ten sateties by his former teammates but his own steadiness in the pinches and the sensational work of the team behind him allowed him to pull down a victory.
