NOTES OF THE GAME.
Jim Van Arsdell looked az clumsy as a
Lowitzki hack.
Jim Hughes led the Sims in the field
and Gortner at the bat.
There were many of the fair sex pres
emit and all enjoyed the sport.
Carson couldn't catch ball if it was
handed to him on Dresden china platter.
Ad. Walker was to busy "posing" for
the ladies to give much attention to the
game.
The total weight of the Sims was LOO
and the Fats 1890. It was "quantity"
and not equality" that ruled the day.
Dreamer is neither sprinter nor a
slugger; bets that he couldn't hit the ball
with barn door found no takers.
Jake Levy could not drop the tradi-
tional wlggle of his hands in consequence
of which he missed many easy ones.
Cunningham chad good eye" as the
boys would say, and bombarded and
smashed the horse-hide at every oppor-
tunity.
The Fats say it was just as easy as eat
ing ice cream, and as Gable said: San
ESQ uimau1 team could have shut them
fellows out"
Billy Burley hit the ball terrifcally, a
home run, three-bagger and two-bagger;
but if he got near the ball during the
game, nobody saw it.
Webber, the first man at the bat, slid to
first base, but he found the sacks were not
stuffed with feathers or cotton and ran 80
far away from the next one that he was
put out.
Gortner, after knocking homer and a
two-sack hit ex mplfied the old tradi-
ton anent the GROWER that went to the
corner grocery once too often, he tanning
twice thereafter.
Helms fort was the skirt dance on the
bases, which, while interesting and anus
ing to the "boards" was not appreciated
by the Fats basemen, who caught him
con the wrong foot" twice.
The only trouble with Gable was he
failed to understand the philosophy of
saving time by stopping the ball instead
of running it down, hut always insisted
on running it to a standstill, against the
fence.
Dolan was supposed to be around third
somewhere, but he would have been just
az useful in bed, for the horse-hide would
hit him on the chest, bang him on the nose,
play hide and seek with his feet and give
him the horse laugh generally.
Lorion Miller lived in Albuquerque so
long that very little was expected of him,
but he proved an exception and put up
the best article of ball seen on the col
lege grounds this season. He played Sec
ond, short and third at one and the same
time.
Col. Brady played an errorless game,
and reliable timers say he made the cir
cult of the bases in the second inning in
just sixteen seconds, (only two less than
the fastest on record); but in the field he
appeared to be taking observations and
measurements for reservoir to catch the
balls in.
If black hatred and vehement criticism
by the Sims could have any weight on q
mans position in life, instead Of pitching
the Fats to victory, Twitchell would have
been shoveling coal where Dante pic
nicked when fair Beatrice gave him the
shake in the days of the merry past and
gone.
Twitchell pitched a phenomenal game,
striking out seven men in the four in
nings, but his batting average was even
worse than his victims. He busted the
breeze, famed the circumambient, killed
thousands of microbes and invisible
aerial insects with mis-, club, but strike as
he would, he couldn't hit the ball.
1t was too bad that Joe O'Brien and
Dixson didn't play better ball for their
respective teams; their work cost many
runs, and O'Brien seemed to think that
because Jim Hughes 10 sixsfeet two in
ches and shining mark that ball
couldn't get passed him, and this deluslon
was fruitful Of much evil for the Sims.
Col. Matt. Reynolds, armed with plug
hat and club, and Abe 6piegelberg, with
a SLOUGH hat and brace Of revolvers, un-
dertook the hair-curling task of umpir-
ing. Their bluff worked like charm,
for, though Abe went into a trance, and
some OF Reynolds decisions bordered on
the "vile.n the rooetere took their mAdi.
cine' and offered their benedictions
silently.
GREAT GAMK.
What was, without the least doubt, the
prettiest and best played game Of ball
seen in the west in years was that between
the Free Coinage base ball club, under
the management Of Charley Lyon, and
the Santa FEES, on tho Cerrillos grounds
