GAME DEVOID OF FEATURES
Mr.. BardweIl of Colorado
Takes in Forty Boys.

The baseball game yesterday afternoon
at Athletic park was one devoid Of any
special interest. The score resulted in the
Eagles defeating the Owls by a score Of
Il TO g. The grand stand was fairly well
filed and also the bleachers. Probably
thirty ladies graced the game BY their
presence. The stand was full OF boys.
Mr.. G. D. Bardwen OF Lake City. Coiora-
do. was in the city and went out 10 see
the game He asked them if they wanted
to go inside. With shout the answer
was Yes" Mr. Bardwen then went to
Mr.. Alexander and asked him what rate
he would charge him for tickets for forty
boys. Mr.. Alexander said ten cents
piece, and the contract was closed, and
the boys went in with rush and clam
ored to good places in the grand stand.
While gathering his young friends togeth-
er. a. man passing, said: He had better
line those boys up and take them 70 Sun
day school" Hereafter they VIII not be
admitted.
Although yesterday was bright and
clear. il was little bit cool without wraps
in the grand stand, but the players did
not seem 10 mind it. Nichols for the first
time this season failed to get bit off
Harlan, who did the pitching. Gwinn, as
usual, got in one of his long drives and
took three bases, although sharper field
ing would have probably stopped him at
second. Cheatum got a two-base hit
Flake made several assists. muffed an
easy pop up and failed TO get hit. Har-
Ian, who was pitching for the owls. pitch
ed a very clever game and received good
support from Riggs. Thompson on third
for the Owls did very good work and had
more ginger in his actions than any man
on either side. SEWERS in right made two
splendid throws and made a pretty run
ming catch.
