In its items Of thirty years ago, the
Transcript says: The Colorado Central
was playing an important part in the
rebuilding OF Central City after the dis.
astrous fire at that place. When the
Teller House was built. the freight on
lime by wagon from Golden was 80 40
per barrel, while the railroad was laying
it down there a. about 20 cents. To aid
in the rebuilding Of the stricken city the
railroad reduced its freight charges on
building material from $500 to sl2.00
per car.
Golden Globe: rhe Reds went up to
Central City Sunday and suffered the
first shut:out OF the season. Mcintyre
md Bates each made nit that would
have been home run on any other
ground, but according to the ground
rules at Central a batter gets only one
base on fair ball knocked outside the
lot. Our boys played with only three
errors.
Globe: Central City is strictly base
ball town and spectators at the games
throw ali kinds Of money in the hat to
encourage them to play good ball. The
business men OF Central have helped the
locals secure first class catcher from
Denver and the crack short stop from
the Cornell university team at Ith aca,
N. Y. At Golden, we are informed, the
receipts seldom pay tho expenses Of
game, and the team has to deny itself
considerable necessary equipment.
