Babe Ruth Fires 39th Circuit Clout Of Season
The Yankee star fails to loft a short fly in the ninth, setting in the winning run as Blue collects five hits in a big day. Two Games in Butte draw likely the season’s largest crowd aside from Mines league attendances. Meaderville and Three Forks clash on the Meaderville diamond with both teams boasting strong records and eager to add a scalp. The Meaderville squad, 35 games for 40 wins, posts a .859 mark, while Three Forks also holds a high winning percentage. Managers plan varied lineups. Burroughs or Smith will start when warmed, Penhale behind the plate, and most regulars expected to play. The Mines league attraction at Columbia Gardens features the Black-Specs versus Colo-Pitts, a hot contest after recent one-run losses. The Bruce clan remains a tested foe as Colo-Pitts seek solid starts from Curley or Stodden with Gerry as a possible main pitcher. Play starts at 2:20 and lasts nine innings.
