A Lively GAME
But Las Cruces Could Not Do Much
With Our Boys. - Interesting
Notes of The 6dme.-flne lndi-
Vidudl Work

|
the boys played ball from the begin
ming until the last man struck out In
the ninth inuing. There was q good
crowd out to see yesterdays game, for
Las Cruces hsd promised 30 bring a
| fast team down to eros bats with the
Colts and even said that they would
have . dollar or 80 10 hes on the re-
suit. But the fast team as we'll Is the
money was conspicuous by Its absence.
err any pitcher could have stopped the
Colts in their batting yesterday. They
started In to win and win they did with
plenty of runs to spare. The boys all
did we'll at the bat, Erwin and Hansen
leading with Eve hits each in seven
times up. Erwin also led in the num-
Der of stolen bases, having FIVE to his
credit.
FL Paso used two batteries as they
had advertised so that the crowd mig ht
see both pitchers work. The crowd
was not disappointed as there was
not Q safe hit made of Long In the
four innings that he pitched aud only
one off Prischard and that WAS in the
last half Of the ninth.
FL Paso played two new men, Nc
Cue and Snaefer. They are both good
catchers and are good additions to the
team. Shaefer was handicapped yes
terdsy with q game leg but hopes to
be all right soon. But McCue gave Q
fine exhibition behind the bat and
will hold the position down In most of
the games. he lie not a new man here
however having played here lass year
with Alsmoyordo.

NOTES OF THE GAME.
Captain Krause played ball yester-
day. he got Two hits, was hit by the |
pitcher twice, got his base GA balls |
once, scored Eve runs, stole four |
bases, and only made one out. But he |
had two costly errors. He 10 q good |
leader and when be has played a few
more games At fret will be star.
McCue caught good game and
batted hard but in hard luck. He has
. good arm and man has to be . fast |
one who oan sseal Q base on him.
Little Jacoby was right there again |
and although he did not come up to |
his standard in batting he played ball
from the start. Made . nice sacrifice |
hit and stole two bases.
Erwin was one of the stsrs Of the
game. BE put up good game in the
dAl6 nd hat faA Ra nd heaI
way he stole bases was caution. II
he has at last gotten his batting eye
then she pitchers who face him will
suffer.
Hansen has rounded into form again
and simply killed the ball. Five hits
for eight bases IL not half bad. And
bis hits came when they meant runs.
Tom Beall made the longest hit
ever made on the grounds. IL VAS .
clean home run. It called on line TO
the sand bank In left and then bound ed
TO the fence. Tom had crossed the
rubber when the ball WAS picked up.
he also got shree Dagger and played
u star game in the field.
SohAuers played him usual good
game but retired In the fifth in favor
Of Shaeier, Nc Cue going to left and
Shaefer behind the bat. but it proved
Q costly mistake to make the change.
Nc Cue was not used Co the sun field
and dropped q fly that cost q run, and
Shaefer bad two passed balls that cost
as many runs. Schauers ran for
Shaefer however and did some nice
work on baseR.
Hackett was the star fielder of the
game. Twice he shut runners off a,
first after they had made wha, looked
10 be safe bits to right. One of them
looked to be good for at least two bases
and he only got the ball after hard
And long run s1d then with q perfect
'hrow while on the run he fred the
ball to Captain Krause just in time to
