CAKE WALK
FOR THE COLTS
But the Blues Of Chihuahua
Got Five Credits and
SHOULD COME AGAIN
And Come Often, And Bring Ali
Their Friends To See the Sport.

Their Friends To See the Sport.
Chihuahua came, saw, but failed
to conquer.
The colts we're tried out and it was
clearly proved that they are winners.
1t would have been a great game, but
there was no one to play against.
With the sounding of the favorite
tin horn in the hands of the young ter,
the hurrah of the fan and the melod y
of the Mexican concert band the great
est sport on earth bad its 1900 insug-
ursl yesterday afternoon. 1t wss q
great day.
A great crowd OF enthusiasts gather
ed, but it was not great scientific ex-
judge of the game to officiate as um pire.
The Orndorff hotel was crowded yes
terdsy noon with admirers of the rival
factions and each one of the Assem- bled
rooters waited with much eagerness for
the grand inaugural. 1t came. You bet
it came, and with the greatest come
that y on could imagine.
The band played, the players sung
that familiar old chorus of "If only
hal job" and with the turmoil csus-
ed by the tin horn, csliope and sound
lungs they paraded to the square
arena.
Headed by Wsnness Heart it made q
grand sight, each one full of activity
and anticipation.
The Blues were confident of ultimate
victory; in fact they were giving odds of
2 to l on their chances. How they could
ever have thought to win was hard to
see when their subsequent playing was
watched by the eager fans.
The colts were all right as players,
the Blues were all right as good fell
lows: but there was no chance for hot
play with such com bInation.
Markley, the great, was in the box
for the visitors and on him was sup
posed to rest the chances for success.
Well, George proved good one, but
what could the poor boy do? he did
not have support enough to win a
chance in a tomsle contest.
It 10 long lane that has no turn but
the road the boys had to travel during
the contest of yesterday was enough to
make any one lose heart.
The gong sounded at three thirty
and with the band playing "Ses the
Corquering Hero Comes" "Dobey"
Jacoby walked up to the platter. The
boys had failed to score and
all was left to the kittish colts.
"Dobey" walked, Hansen also receiv-
ed free transportation to Christieville.
Both crossed the big dish on q nice
little bingle by the great and only
Hackett. That boy Hackett IL a conner
and should he choose to follow the
glittering career Of the diamond ex-
pert, no one can stand ahead of him
In the race for fame.
It was a cake walk for the colts. A
genuine present, for no club Ia the
south west can hand q bunch of defeat
to that hustling little band. The colts
are winners from the WORT 90 and
none can stop them. 1t is not the
'ault Of the management that the Blues
were outclassed. They were supposed
TO have a team but failed to show it.
The captain of the colts wanted
George Speck to umpire the
great match and if that
had been chosen
there would have been no dissatisfac-
lion. He Is known as q capable UNI
pire as he follows all the points of the
game and is strictly independent. He
follows everything and should have
been selected for his great following.
The game itself did not amount to the
great spectacular treat promised, but
there are better days coming. Base
ball has secured a permanent foothold
and some great games are promised In
the future.
The result of yesterday, 2l-5, was not
As bad as 1t should have been, accord
ing to form, but it was enough to win
put.
LINE DRIVERS.
Hackett and Hansen are good pair.
Shauers is still talking. Why don't
he poor boy quit the orasoricsl ring?I
he is a good ball player but cau't find
t out.
