The SPORTS WILL BE- GREAT
The Santa Fe Baseball Team Played 0loss
Games at Albuquerque, But Was De-
feated-An Albuquerque Team Will
Play Here This Week.

| Aoatou dA Albuquerque loam Will
Play Here This Week.
The Santa Fe baseball team returned
home this morning, having played
match games with the Albuquerque
Browns on Saturday AFTERNOON and
Sunday. The scores stood II to 10 and
IL to 1S in favor Of Albuquerque. A
| large crowd was in attendance to wit
ness both games, and when the Albu-
querque boys got behind in the seventh
inning yesterday they were pretty Sc
verely roasted by the audience, which
fairly yelled itself hoarse when the
game ended in q score of one in favor
of the Browns. Manager Conway's
boys were simply pickup team about
town, and the fact that they made such
record as they did Is, under the cir
cumstances. highly creditable. They
worked to a great disadvantage in the
first game. owing to the grass on the
ball grounds. and having no spiked
shoes. but Manager Conway provided
spikes for the second contest and thus
materially cut down the score. The Wis.,
itors were we'll received and entertained
by the Duke City baseball enthusiasts.
The Journal Democrat says
| without exception the Santa Fe
team are perfect gentlemen, possessed
of not little of that delicate sense of
| chivalric honor. which Is put to such a
thorough test in athletic contests of any
kind"

zens who stated that they would be
