Take One GAME Apiece.
Lovers Of base ball we're given two
choice tres : In yesterdays games be-
tween the Leadyille Blues and the Albu-
Querque Browns Not tince the great
game between Ration and AlbuQuerque
at the fair tournament last fall have
there been such interesting and exciting
games witnessed In this city. The Blues
won the morning game by 3 score Of 5 10
! and the Browns the afternoon game by
o score OF IL 10 q.
There was a slim attendance at the
morning game, but those who attended
we're we'll repaid for their presence. The
frst inning gave little promise OF a
splendid game. The Browns scored three
runs anu the Blues two and the spec
tstOrs commenced to think that IL was
going TO be q slugging match with the
scores running up into the twenties and
thirties. In this they were happily
disappointed. a. the innings which
followed were fine exhibitions OF good
base ball playing, the score for the three
innings standing 8 TO 8. In the eighth
inning Albuquerque scored two runs and
Leadville one, making the score Z 10 8 at
the beginning OF the ninth inning Al
buquerQue was retired withou { a score,
a bunch OF errors permitting LeadviIle TO
bring In two runs, winning the game by
q score OF s to I.
The feature OF the morning game was
the pitching by Farrow. whose work in
tn box won him praises ffem ell sides.
While a number OF errors were made
by the Browns, some OF them were excus-
able owing to the sun shining In the
eyes OF the players. The Leadyilles came
out Of the game with only two errors
marked against them.
The visitors early In the game objected
10 some OF the decisions OF Umpire Wood
mRnsee aud he retired, after which Burt
Jones umpired tho game TO the satisfac-
ton OF both sides.
The news OF the excellent game In the
forenoon attracted u large crowd In the
afternoon. The game again opened in
auspiciOusly, the score standing 8 10 l in
favor OF Albuquerque at the end OF the
third inning, and the spectators had
commenced 20 despair when the Lead
villes made n squirt and gave the Browns
Eve goose eggs" In succ ssiOn. at the
same time increasing their own score 10
3. 10 that at the beginning OF the ninth
inning the two teams were tied. This Is
one Of the strong points Of the Leadville
tesm-they are stayers and seem 10 play
best when the game IL going against
them AZ the beginning OF the ninth
inning matters looked dubious for Albu-
querque, when they again found the ball
that had proved 10 elusive In the
previous five innings. Bailey was
on second base and Holland on first and
DeFrance was at the bat with one man
out. Tie made q beautiful hit and then
a wild throw 10 the home plate brought
In three uns LAadyille was unable TO
overcome this lead In its half OF the
ninth inning and Albuquerque won by a
score OF II 10 y.
Bailey's work In center Geld wa the
feature OF the game on Albuquerque's
aide. SEWERS, .eadyille's left handed
pitcher, did very effective work for the
visitors. Jones pitched for the Browns
and while he did not do a. nne work az
he has at times In the past, he inspired
the players with a confidence which a..
sisted materially In winning the game.
The Leadville boys have demonstrated
that they are fast players and will do
their share towards making the tourna'
ment n success.
The scoro by innings Is as follows:
