the city and the parade was cay
est ever witnessed in the tow
best of order and good cheer prevail.
The rock drilling contests ELECTED
much interest among the miners ms
well as strangers in our midst. This
afternoon great crowd is witnessing
the second game of ball between the
local team and Durango. The cele
bration continues over tomorrow.
Silverton, Colo. Sept 1.-The col
ors of the Durango ball team went
down yesterday afternoon, while the
home colors are floating in the
breezes. The game was a loosely
played affair on both sides and there
was considerable wrangling over the
decisions of Umpire Turner, but If
wrong, We're unintentional. Hughes
pitched for the Durango club and the
Silvertonians fell on him like brick
house. Added to this the support
was very bum. In fact. the Durango
boys went up in the air early in the
game and were not able to get down
to business. with the result that at the
end of he game the score stood IA to
Il in favor of the home team with the
locals not playing the last inning.
Beckwith. of the Durangos. made the
finest record in the game. A long
fly was sent into the field which
every one expected would land way
beyond Beckwth but he started on
a run and caught the ball over his
shoulders with his back to the dia-
f,1n L, 4
and he never dreamed of the ball be-
Ing caught and was at third when
Beckwith threw the ball to first, max
ing a double play.
This afternoon an immense crowd
is witnessing the game and Durango
boys feel confident of winning, Davis
and Beckwith being slated to occupy
the box.
In the game yesterday Jack Cole,
catcher. had his hand badly split, It
being necessary to take six stitches
in 1t and he will not be able to play
in any of the remaining games. Gene
Mckinney and Leon Hills also met
with mishaps. putting their knees al
most out of joint. Hills was run into
by base runner while Mckinney fell
while running in the field. Both are
on the shelf
SILVERTON, Colo, Sept. 2.-The
third day of the Labor day celebration
Is proving success like the preceding
days. The attendance is still good
the mines having closed down until
Wednesday morning and the town CON
tinues full of miners. The large pa
rade of yesterday is still the talk of
all. The number of men In line was
phenomenal.
The ball game in the afternoon was
well attended and resulted in Duran
go's favor by score of s to in the
face of some rotten decisions and
which came near ending the game, es-
pecially one decision, and all unpreju-
diced witnesses state that Durango
had just kick coming. 1t means a
new umpire this afternoon Guy Da-
Wis pitched for Durango and was very
effective, allowing the home team to
score in only two innings Consider
able money changed hands but more
will change this afternoon. Beckwith
is in the box for Durango and he will
make it interesting for Silverton.
TELLURIDE, Colo, Sept 1.-The
feature of yesterdays celebration was
the ball game and IT was sort OF
razzle- dazzle affair In the first place
there was nearly two hours wrangle
over the umpire Ouray objected to
people who were backing the home
team heavily. They asked for two UNI
pires and this was objected to and
then they wanted to name the umpire
and this was also refused. Then 1t
was finally agreed that all bets be de
clared off and the purse was also
pulled down, and the two clubs play
ed an exhibition game for the gate re-
ceipts, 90 per cent to the winners and
40 to the losers. Shere was some
good playing and also some poor. The
Ouray team won by score of to 3.
The rock drilling contests and ball
last night were interesting events and
Labor day will be pleasantly remem-
bered.
LINCOLN. Neb, Sept. 1.-Two
drunken men were fighting on the
