The sun shone Sunday morning was
shining all day. He shone in the morn
ing on large contingent of our sports
at the passenger depot waiting for the
overland flyer to come along and carry
them to the alfalfa fields of their Love-
lock friends with whom they intended
to try conclusions in a game of baseball.
The girls were there too smilingly tell
ing the boys how they wanted them to
come home with the laurels of the day.
and the other fellows who couldn't win
the girls were there also warning them
to study up the story of chow it all
happened" as they would have it to tell
when coming home with their collars all
crooked and their hair out OF curl.
When Manager Short appeared on the
scene with a checkerboard cap and
necktie Dunkle's nerves were shattered
He said it was hodoo that no mascot
could prevail over and the tally sheet for
Wadsworth would be checkered with
goose eggs. When Nasty Macpherson
came up the back stairs of the car with
some whiskers on his cheeks he said
the Lovelock girls were used to it and
would have no other. Arthur was very
happy till he saw Vic Geery come along
with that delicately carved bunch of
bronze on his chin and then he knew his
nose was out of joint for the trip How
was there and solomon in all his glory
could not have smiled oitener than did
j. G. There was scramble for posi-

Keim and Ed. Allen took POSSESSION OF
the coach and all the Young ladies in it
with vocal efforts that were applauded
by everybody but an old lady who had
task to even try to keep three hand
some daughters. from flirting outrage
ously with the goodlooking crowd OF
sweet singers. Tom Douelin tried to get
a wink of sleep after working all night
but he might as well have tried to get
hinge off st. Peters gate. The boys
thought for moment when they got to
Lovelock that Captain Dynan had been
sidetracked but he was only out of
sight because OF u 200 pound maiden
standing in the way. He got into clear
by elbowing and was greeted with
cheers. The Lovelock boys led the way
to the town hall where the visitors pre-
| pared their suits for the contest. An
excellent dinner was provided at FELIX'S
hotel and the boys did so much JUS
tice to it that that they couldn't do JUS
tice to themselves until it settled. The
! ield near the schoolhouse is level but
the ground is dead to the ball AMI it
| bothered our colts for awhile. Bob
Pollock bought up all the fish horns in
town and our young rooters turned out
in full force and did good work. There
were several hundred interested specta-
tors grouped around and the game was
soon on. Those hayseeders went to the
bat and smashed out six tallies in the
first inning. About that time we looked
for Manager Short and saw his coat tails
turning distant corner with Jack Ede
and Arthur Macpherson close seconds.
They tried to relieve their feelings by
chasing pigs to bring up for rooters we
suppose. but they condn't catch pigs

haloon appeared in tie distance and the
