THOSE COLTS
OF OURS
They Measure Up Well When
You Look At EN-
THE ROSWELL BOYS, TOO,
And All the Fellows Stand Out Like
Good Soldiers OF the Diamond
No Game Next Sunday-The As
ISOLATION In Line.

The race for the HERALD peDnant
goes merrily on. Tucson has backed
up against the artists of Yuma and
Phoenix, coming out OF the fray by
good majority. Professor Davis led
his team of Roswell cadets to victory
in two successive contests, as the
Amarillo boys were not capable OPP
ponents for the husky young soldiers.
Ell Paso, the centre of the great
struggle, has picked up team OF
locals that are hard TO outpolnt. ia
CODY, that sterling little shortstop. has
proven himself a champion tnfelder,
Erwin has no superior at third and
Backett is the premier outfelder of
this section. The grandest surprise of
Eli to the fans WAS the new conner who
cavorted around the center pasture.
George Hansen was his name
and great was his record.
During the entertainment OF
Sunday last the big Cleburne boy
tossed the hide bound sphere from the
deep middle garden with great accura-
cy and at the bat displayed the ability
of q king. He Is the best we have yet
seen and should the Pass City develop
a brace of his calibre the peDnant Of
fered by the HERALD will never leave
the city. 1t is great club, these colts
of ours, and with the addition of
George Markley they have q chance
Roswell Is, of course, hard custom
er TO turn down and Skinny's Snperbas
from the Santa Cruz valley are hard to
defeat, but Captain Noyes says that the
Colts are the superiors OF them all.
Albuquerque Ia soon to begin opera
lions in the diamond shaped arena and
that means a strong contest from the
north. Roy Mcdonald, Husky King,
Snapper Hale and a few more make q
terrible aggregation but what can they
do If Gallup, Las Vegas or Ration get in
the swim?
This is the year of base ball, that
grand old sport when science Is
mingled with fun. Everyone should
De in. The pennant Is worth struggling
prIze which will stand for the best base
bali in this corner of our glorious
country.
There will be no game Sunday nextas
there is to be some change in the
ground, but the Ros we'll soldiers will be
here shortly and the game with them
all hands will want to witness. Otero
and McDonsld are regular national
leaguers fl to edify: Long, Shelton, and
Psderewski Hansen are in the same
class.
The game is on from this date and
the HERALD pennaut goes to the
Victors.
The Pinos Altos correspondent OF
the HERALD writes: The Boer Base
Ball club, of this place, has so far
failed to make itself invipcible, but
the boys are trying to set their eve on
the HERALD pennant prize. Probably
they may some time be heard FROM"
THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION.
The association is all right. The
managers are now in the game for
keeps and mean to have the premier
team of the southwest. Business like
methods will be the order of the day
and their meeting OF yesterday showed
their willingness to cater to the spors
loving public. All free passes will be
suspended, the gate will De changed to
a more desirable location and the game
will go merrily On. The youngsters
are fit TO battle with the Ettest and with
q capable captain will uphold Ell Paso's |
Help them out, for they are |
the people.
