AS result OF wager on ball game
played Sunday at Steamboat Springs
between the Pilot and the Sentinel ball
teams the editor of the Pilot is whisker-
less, and for a period Of one week will
not be editor of the Routt county publica
tion.
The game was hotly contested, and
was in doubt up to the last inning, the
seams being tie with score Of 10 to 10,
but the Sentinels boys thought their
editor looked best with his whiskers and
therefore braced up and won the game
by score OF 13 to 10.
The deal by which the editor of the
Pilot lost his whiskers was fixed up be-
fore the game, when the editors repre-
sented by the two opposing teams agreed
that the loser should have his whiskers
shaved off, "cut out" booze for period
OF three months and turn over his sheet
Tor period OF one week to the Ladies'
Aid society of Steamboat Springs.
