of both teams.
The game was characterized by
fine feeling and showing of friend

In the first inning Gunnison scored
one through the good play of Oryille
Potter. Ouray scored one in the
same inning and one in the second
and then until the 9th the score stood
two to one in favor of Ouray and the
playing was beautiful.
Then an error or two was made
and Gunnison lost heart and courage
and went up IN the air. The score
crept up to 10 to one in favor Of Gu
ray and SO 1t closed.
Excellent work was done by the
Gunnlson battery and especially is
honor due to Eugene Martin
the pitcher.
After the fifth inning Martin was
instructed to take things easy a. be

the team. He followed instructions
but even then his playing ELECTED
every ones admiration.
