Base Ball and Horse Races the Prin.
cipal Amusements of the
Annual Picnic.

Old Settlers day in Kinsley was a
decided contrast to the ones previous
ly held here. in so far as the weather
was concerned. The atmosphere early
in the qnOrning vas somewhat haZy,
but Old Sol pushed his way through
and made things hot for the0big CROWD
which had assembled to enjoy the
day. The process one headed by
Marshals Tatum and Carter and the
Kinsley band, started for the South
Side park at about 10:30 O'Clock,
where the ball game .bet@een Lewis
and Garfield was already in progress.
Booths and refreshment stands were
scattered over the grounds and the
large tent belonging toe the old Set
tiers was already erected in its accus-
toned place. %
In the base bali matches the Gar
field team carried 0off the hOnors
Lewis and. Garfield were scheduled to
play the moIning game dand the Kins-
ley club was to play the victors. This
program was carried out In 1.-The

Garfield, by virtue of her victory in
the morning, crossed bats with Kins-
ley in the afternoon. This 0game was
much better performance thar the
one in the morning, and but for sew
eral unfortunate misplays the score
might haUe read differently. Clarence
Deford, the little butcher who has not
been in II match game since his ar
rival in Kinsley ando who ioas had
scarcely any practice, gas on the
rubber for the locals and pitched an
excellent game. He used good judg-
ment in throwing to bases and in
} other ways demonstrated that he has
the real stuff in him. In the early
part ofOthe game, HottewitZ was spiked
by Poison and after that hisOplaying
and base running were not up .to
the standard and bordered slightly on
the "dopey" order. {.
Kinsley won the toss and Garfield
led Off E. Grandy struck out, and
the next man hit to short. Earl
Smith's throw to first was high and
the runner skipped on, scoring II mo-
meht later on Fagan's out. The neS
man went out. In Kinsley's ohalf OF
Q the first, Hottewitz hit for two bags
aud scored on Walt Misner's three
bagger. Misner scored and the aneXt
three men went out. Score to l.
