MCCARTHY WINS THIRD
GAME WITH KENNECOTT
McCarthy again triumphed
over Kennecott, 8 to 6, in their
third baseball game of the sea
son, played Saturday night at
McCarthy.
The game was hotly contest
e i from the start, a slight ail
vantage in batting strength giv
j ing victory to the local nine
Holt twirled good ball for
| the miners, but their inability
i to bring in more than one run m
i the last two innings left McCar
j thy with the long end of the
j score.
Maehin started in the box
for McCarthy, with Harwood
replacing him in the fourth inn
! ing.
The feature of the game
was the stretching by Snyder
of a single into a home run in
the fourth inning on wild throws
to bases. J. B. O’Neill and Har
wood also added excitement to
the game by poling out a three
bagger apiece.
This victory gives McCarthy
two of the three games played
between the two teams this sea
son. The game scheduled for to
night will be the last before the
Fourth ot July, anti it is believ
ed that Kennecott will make
every effort to win the game
tonight and thus even the score.
The expected loss of Penn
I alien and Mach in from the local
line-tip in the Fourth of July
game is causing McCarthy fans
much anxiety. These two men,
who are railroad employees, will
leave McCarthy for Co: dova July
1st. Their absence will materia
lly weaken the local aggregation,
and Manage]1 Saiudon is adding
gray hairs to his head figuring
how he can replace them.
Go to Archie’s for your ice
cream tomorrow.
