They Played the Baby Act

Under the head of "Umpre Wins
Game the Grand Junction Sentinel
publishes grand howl about the
treatment their ball team received at
the hands of the umpire here last
Sunday. We are little surprised
that Brother Bunting would lend his
usually clean little sheet to voice the
spleen of few sore head individuals,
such as the item referred to, shows
the management of the Junction ball
team to be.
As matter of fact, the bunch of
ball players brought up here last Sun
day should never be allowed off their
own corner lot, as they have no more
show of winning game, than anyone
but < Grand Junction man has of
winning the road race. AS regards
the road race, of course the fact that
pa was the official Handicapped had
nothing to do with the crack rider of
the Junction getting "A IL minute
handicap, but when the whole family
wanted to bet all kinds of money that
they could pick the winner, it looked
as if there was cinch somewhere.
The people of Glenwood were wise.
however, from their experience of two
years ago, and no bets on the sure
thing could be secure1
Then the ball game came up and
the manager and official Handicapped
wanted to handicap that also, but
were not allowed to do so, and in
consequence, a clean game was the
result. Not satisfied with the first de-
feat they insisted on another game for
a purse, and insisted on the umpire
who had robbed them in the first
game, officiating in the money game.
Throw rock among bunch of
dogs. and you can tell the one hit by
the way he yelps. 1t looks to us as if
tie one hit in the ball game is re
sponsible for the yell that emanates
from their mouthpiece, the Sentinel.
to play ball, they were defeated and
when they came home they did not
howl their heads of about being
robbed, but simply said. 'We put up
poor game, and were skinned.
OF course the Grand Junction boys
would like to make good with their
home people, and the rotten umpire
is their only excuse, but as matter
of fact. they never had show to win
that first game after our boys went in,
in the first inning and touched up
their pitcher for six safe hits which
netted five runs

Strange Conduct of GIenwOOd Chef

Oscar Wolff, late chef of the Hote
Glenwood. left his home Sunday af
ternoon about two clock, saying to
his wife that he would take strcll
on Lookout mountain. His absence
continuing long after he should have
returned, the family told their fears
to the neighbors, and a number of
friends followed the Lookout trail ir
hopes of finding him. Monday morn.
ing larger number set out, among
them Fritz Wolff, his son, w S,
Cowles and Charlie Hubbard, neigh,
bors. In the afternoon Sheriff Zim
norman, w. r Lee and Billy Coha
gan mounted horses, and ascended
clear to the summit of the mountain
rious directions in vain. Tracks were
found for some distance, but were
soon lost. The mountain is so covered
with pinon and other growths that
discovery would have been merely an
accident.
However, in the afternoon, Mr.
VOLTS family and friends were re-
assured by IA report later confirmed,
that he had appeared in the morning
at f. o Stevens ranch and asked for
water, saying that he was camped. in
tha hi lie Inv, A rafraN l, fr
draught, he disappeared again. This
news was late getting in, as Stevens
has no phone, and besides did not re
alize that VOLTS disappearance was
out of the ordinary, rs people some
times camp in that region. Mr.
Wolff had taken no camping outfit,
and had slept on the mountain all
night a la Rip Van Wrinkle, but the
numerous friends of the clever chef
were determined that he should not
stay away so long
Finally he returned home of his
own accord about six o'clock Monday
evening 1t is said he has been rather
nervous of late, and had been needing
rest long time when he left the EN-
ploy of the Hotel Glenwood Except
ing the fatigue naturally resulting
from his prolonged solitary constitu-
tional, MIR. Wolff at last reports
seems to have recovered his good
health. and there is nothing alarming
in his condition He is one of the
best known chefs in the state, and
was steward of the Hotel Colorado
two years ago.

Shooting the Rapids

Shooting the rapids of the CIR ant
above town, is a feat that was never
attempted before Tnesday afternoon
so far rs the memory of man rune h
back. At sunset r. NJ. Fishback and
Dan Nc p hersou launched a boat neal
the mouth of Noname creek, two and
II half miles above town. and fifteen
minutes later the craft was tied up
near the light power plant. The de
scent would have been made in even
shorter time but for the fact that
twice the boat had to be beached to
empty it of water As there are on ly
few places where SIN 1oth water and
sloping sand bars are found perhaps
half the time of the descent was con
sumed in emptying the boat The
boat nearly stood ON her bow end in
the worst part of the rapids, and the
occupants got thorough wetting
Mr.. Fishback sat amidships and han
died the oars, while Mr. Mcpherson
steered with a paddle. The boat
bumped the rocks twice on her bottom
and the shock could be plainly heard
ashore, but no harm was done.
The boat was built for Mr. Fish
back at Salem, Ohio, by the w. II.
Mullins company, and reached Glen
wood about two weeks ago. 1t is IS
feet long and four feet beam, and has
a bottom of steel sheeting screwed to
oak frame and gunwales Water tight
bulkheads in the bows and stern pre-
vent sinking, were leak possible,
and the width of the boat makes cap
sizing difficult Mr.. Fishback had
Dan Corners to construct a two wheel
truck with cradle for the special pur-
pose of portage
After his perlous trip MI Fishpack
stated that he had been used to water
all his life, and had shot rapids else
where with Indians in canoes, but
that new problems had to be faced in
the descent of Grand canon that he
had never met elsewhere Shooting
the rapids requires II quick judgment
and steady presence of mind, as there
is no time for reflection or debate as
to what to do. The carriage that took
the two to the launching place, with
boat truck following behind had
much to do to keep pace with the boat
as it came down.

EIGHTH ANNUAL
ROAD RACE
Pulled Off Last Sunday Over Track
Between BdSdIf and G.eRwOod
---ROdd Was Fine and
Good Records Made
GRAND JUNCTION BOYS WINNERS

Eight car loads of people went up
to Basalt last Sunday to see the start
of the big road race, and twelve
coaches returned. Large excursi ons
came in from Aspen, Lsadville and
Grand junction to witness the con
tests in which their champions took
part.
Bicycle entries from Aspen were
Gordon Sullivan, Richard Townsend,
Ralph Watson L. ID Park. Ike Well
man, Walter Helmer and John Han
sen; from Leadville, John Mourey
and G. Wlthrow; from Grand juno
tion, Felix Carson. B. Van Horebeck,
Lou Zieman and l.. Barber; Fruita,
Roy johnson; Cardiff, C. A Deering
Sunshine, Vic Johnson; and Robert
Harris contested the honors for Glen
wood. Entries for the motor cycle
race were c. H. Patrick, Of Grand
junction; Ted Cooper of Aspen, and
f. ]. Mund and Joe Dale of Leadville.
The course covered was 23 1a miles,
beginning at the railroad crossing
some two miles below Basalt. Very
good time was made by the racers, as
will appear by the schedule, and when
they were lost sight of IL few miles
beyond Cardiff, the train had to make
quick time to enable the excursi onists
to reach the foot of the state bridge
in time to see the finish G.. A Deer
ing of Cardiff was expected to be
among the winners. by his townspeo
pie and other admirers, but had sever
al accidents on the way with his
chain tnat quite put him out of the
race.
Barber, last year champion as to
time and place, sustained his reputa
tion as to time. His handicap was
so great that it was not expected he
could win as to place. Van Hoore-
beck pushed him close for time hon
ors. Clip this schedule out and put
it in your hat lining for comparison

SECOND GAME.

The visitors took their defeat hard.
and vented their feelings by occasional
colloquys with the umpire, W. P
Kennedy, amid loud cries of play

The following was the lineup in
The Glenwood post., 1905-07-29

6. Else b Williams [ F

s. McKinnie Happe p
g. Beal P Slrrdan c
In the second game Grittiths pitched
and Bracken caught for Grand juno
tion. There was no one out when the
winning run was made. Happe was
at his best in both games, both in
game he made two three baggers, one
two bagger and one single, ana he
struck out thirteen men, practically
winning his own game. His support
from Sirdan, the Carbondale catcher,
is worthy of praise, for Sirdan
certainly caught some good balls
Happe made two full hits in the
second game, and struck out six men.
Grand Junction showed up weak on
the bases throughout, and number
of the local boys gave them hits
which would not be held if the visit
ors We're used to catching flies Good
man made two good three baggers and
two doubles; he scored twice. and
brought men in ahead of him. Good
man is the man who cleaned up the
bases pretty nearly; he hit the best on
his side. Gritfiths played good ball.
Grand Junction should have tied
the score in their half of the seventh
inning, if Ely, when fly ball was
hit by McKinnie to Magnall in the
center field, had not started with
big lead for home, when if he had
held the bag and then started he could
have made winning run, or what
promised to be one.
Tomorrow G!enwood will play at
Red Cliff. There has been some cor
respondence from Leadville trying to
arrange match with that team. but
nothing definite has been concluded.

only one to come in. He made 10 80
time. Ted is a brother of young Mr..

failed to make train connections, and
was not in the race. Mund and Pat
rick had trouble with their machines.
The judges We're Manford w.
Smith of Aspen, c. Van Hoorebeck of
Grand Junction and George Keeler of
Leadville. The race took place with
out jar. and the defeated have no
complaints to make
There were only two incidents on
the train returning The engine ran
into COW on r. l.. Hardwick
ranch breaking the animals right
fore leg, which occasioned short
stop. A short distance on. the other
side of Carbondale Miss Irene Lehow
got rough fall by jumping from the
moving train, but was seen to get mp
and walk away as if unhurt. 1t was
later asc ertained that she had no Sc
rious injury. The Grand Junction
and Glenwood brass bands furnished
music on the trip. Later in the aft
ernoon great crowd assembled on
the lawn at the Hotel Colorado and
listened to an open air concert by the
Grand Junction band. Bandmaster
Boyer received many compliments on
all sides for the skill shown by his
men.
Both baseball games were won by
Glenwood against Grand junction
last Sunday on the local field, the
score being Is to in the first game
and to in the second game. En-
thusiasm marked the entire play, but
in Glenwood' 8 half of the seventh in
ming of the second game the local
rooters expressed their views in a
spirit bordering on frenzy. This is
how the scores stood:
