| Special Correspondence.
The Las Vegas ball team redeemed
their reputation yesterday afternoon
by defeating n of the strongest
teams that has played ball in the terri
tory for some time, and decidedly
| stronger than the Albuquerque team
which defeated Las Vegas last Sun
day. The Lamar, Colo, team only got
five runs, and only one of them
earned. Las Vegas piled up Is runs,
n most of them were earned. The
feature of the game was a home run
by Parsons when the bases were full
in the fourth inning. Rhodes pitched
a star game and allowed only six safe
hits to the Lamar team. The boys had
the ginger that was lacking last Sun
day, and the game was exciting
throughout despite the fact that they
pounded the Lamar boys most terri.
bly,. The Lamar boys have played
twenty-five games this season and
only lost four besides the one they
lost yesterday. The fact of our boys
nearly closing such a team out shows
what the boys can do when they play
ball. There vas a fair crowd out, and
they were well paid. The battery for
Lamar was Cummings and Wood, and
Rhodes and Parsons for Vegas. The
Lamar boys are c~aptained by Mitchell,
of Rocky Ford, and they are a gentle
manly set of men. They have lots of
life in them, and keep the music going
on the diamond. Today the battery
for Lamar will be Prentiss and Wood.
w. B. Twitchell umpired the game,
and gave good satisfaction. He was
lowing wrangling and delaying the
game. The score by innings was as
follows:
Innings: 234567S
Lamar ........O 0 2 0 0 1 1 L 5
Las Vegas .....2 0 4 4 0 2 l lis

too much progress before she arrived
here and little benefit was noted. She
was 81 years of age, and lived with her
mother on Eleventh street. The re-
mains, accompanied by the grief
stricken mother, were shipped today
back to her home in chicago.
