WOULDN'T THIS KILL YOU.


The Cadets Think They Hav
played a Professional Team Il
the Colts.
Many Ell Pasoans will be surprise,
to learn that Ell Paso Is represented b,
a team of national league leathe
chasers, but the Roswell Record ha
this to say anent the recent game be
tween our professional (?) Colts ani
Roswell:
"On May 18th the cadets met E
PasO's crack professional team or
their own grounds. Every man on the
Ell Paso team was league man, and
professional player. Il was magnifi =
cent game, and perhaps the best base
ball of Coach McDonald's life.
The Dallas News records the game
among the great league games-the
very best in the union for that day.
After nine innings the score stood to
in favor of Ell Paso. It was the
greatest game ever played by a team
OF students in all the west, and the
| best ever played in the southwest at
| any time, by any teams Out of three
| games with professional players, the
N M. M. [. has lost only this one-snd
| this was the g-es test honor they have
won, though they lost. The cadets
won great praise by their gritty
play ing and excellent conduct"
Comment is unnecessary on this, but
it aptly illustrates the old saying that
to get the news one must go away
from home" However, for the bene-
fit of outsiders the HERALD will state
that the entire local team Is composed
of amateurs, boys who have lived in Ell
PssO from six months to ten years, and
none OF them draw salaries for their
playing.

Alp Main street.
The games If arranged for as herein
suggested, will come during the week
OF the teachers convention and will be
good thing for the crowds of visitors
who will then be in the city, The Ath-
letic association will take lthe matter
up at once. Thus the contest for the |
HERALD pennant goes on.
Ho, FOR TUCSON
The locals will undoubtedly be the
opponents of that lively Tucson bunch
Of leather chasers il the near future,
as it Is known that they are eager to
tackle our forces. Word comes from
the management of the Greys that
:eries of three games at Ell Paso would
be just to their liking and the colts are
eager to tackle any old thing in their
inc. This would easily be the draw
ng card of the season as it always has
oeen and just at present the Greys and
Browns are anxious to settle up few
I'D scores. chihuahua likes our game
Ind thinks return match played in
he Mexican city would be the proper
'aper and perhaps change few figures
n the race for the HERALD psnnaut.
