Agprentice Watson piloted the winners of the second and third races, reepectively. The youngster made a wide turn into the stretch with Yellowstone, just wihning at the wire by a ehort head. G. A. Wahlgreen, secretary of the Denver- Overland Racing Association, is here in the interests of the meeting to be held in the Colo- rado metropolis in June. Jimmy Coffey has given Carson his release. The latter isx @ well-behaved and industrious lad, but did not seem to improve like some of the other apprentices.

The other side, lowever, had it on them in every point of the game and it was really a tegular pipe for them to win. The contest was full of life and real ginger and was interesting and good to look upon from the first round on. There was but one bad feature to the game and that was the terrible slowness of Put- maim, the Helena pitcher. Putmann is a large“youth, built after | the plan of the mighty Rube Waddell, only a little more medified in breadth. He is a southpaw with a world of speed and elegant command of the ball. He | twirled 2 game yesterday that would have won fame for him in any place where the green diamond sport s in vogue.
