In the greatest struggle ever seen on
ttie local grounds the “Markers” won
out in the ninth inning last Sunday
afternoon. A large and enthusiastic
crowd cheered Heeter’s famous road
builders to victory. Old man Heeter
himself occupied a front seat in the
grandstand and as each “Mucker” came
to the bat he got the “hit-the-ball-or
lose-your-job” eye. Thus encouraged,
the boys went after “Spider” Anderson’s
shoots like fiends. The II. A. C. aggre
gation were handled by “Vandyke”
Donaldson, assisted by .lohn Duncan,
the famous coach.
“Pop” Cobb, who hsiked after the in
terests of the initial sack for the Muck
ers, assisted Sehalier in coaching their
team, and their combined generalship
went a long way toward paving the way
to victory.
Frank Diver, a dark horse fiom Pio
neer, was rung in by the city chaps at
the last moment, and covered third base
in a most creditable manner.
Benny Mayo covered himself all over
with glory, striking out eight < f the
eagle-eyed town dudes and bringing two
of the five hard-earned runs across the
plate.
The muckers searted out like winners.
In the first, Ben Mayo hit safe, stole
second and was put on third bv Bob
Sehaber’s grounder. Pop Cobb smashed
one, scoring Ben. Bob thought he heard
his wife calling him and tried to get in
on the hit, but Squire caught him on
t'.ie line. Sam Harper sacrificed, ad
vancing Cobb to t'lird. Wield lined one
out, scoring Cobb, but was thtown i ut
at first. A. Harper was an easy out
Sundborg to Htidgin. The K. A. C.
bunch got their first run in the third.
Hudgin bit safe, got to third on an
error and scored on Squire's bit.
The Muckers got or.o more in the
fourth by Andrew llur]>er’s clever base
running.
The "Willies” tied the score in the
eighth round, to the delight of the
cheering crowd. Ill their half the
Muckers made one last grand rally to
save the day and hold their job. With
the “supe’s” tierce, stern gaze u|*>n

them they sent their two old reliables,
Benny and Bobby, across with the goods
after two were down. Cobb retired the
side by getting caught at second.
The “beach combers” made a half
hearted attempt in their half, but after
tearing a few chunks out of the air they
discovered too late that each one had
picked out a crooked bat to kill the ball
with. Benny had them under his
thumb all the time, and while they got
one man on second they were never
dangerous.
The time of play was but an hour and
fifteen minutes, which is remarkably
fast time, even in a professional game.
W. \V. Crockett, an old-time player and
considered the greatest first-baseman of
his time, umpired the game and gave
good satisfaction. The score:

K. A.C.’s I) 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0-3
The infield needs to la* improved,
weeds making ground hits hard to field.
Benny’s arm was a little sore in the
early part of the game, but after he got
warmed up he put ’em over in tine
style.
Jack Welch says Sunday’s game re
minded him of the days when he played
with the l'umpkin Center Stars in Bossy
county, Indiana. Jack gave a tine ex
hibition of clever base running, as usual.
After the game a few of the It. A. C.’s
were out with a big bluff offering to
back their team in a return game. The
Muckers stand ready to cover all bets,
ami S. K. fleeter will bet his farm,
chicken's included, that his hardy sons
of toil can turn the trick again.

Supplies for Quail.
After a couple of days in camp ar
ranging for the forwarding of supplies,
Fred Cassidy departed Monday morning
on bis return to the mouth of Quail
creek, where he and II. (Shorty) Olson
have built a dam and expect to take out
considerable gold during the open season
yet remaining.
The dam was built to keep the Trou
blesome water from spreading over the
extensive bar at the mouth of Quail. It
answers its pur]>ose admirably, but the
high water in Troublesome has backed
up so as to obstruct the outlet for tail
ings and has thus interfered with
sluicing. Mr. Cassidy has rocked some
on the bar and averaged ll.IiO an hour.
With even one month of uninterrupted
sluicing he lielieves a nice stake can lie
taken out.
This is But a Little One.
While counting up the staui|>edes, it
is just as well to take note of a mild one
that has lately taken place to a creek
that enters the Yukon on the right limit
thirty miles lielow Tanana. Men who
came up on the young vesterday say the
creek shows tin*1 pro-jarts, but pay has
not yet been found.
