Third Game Taken By Ellsworth, When
1t Should Have Been Ours,

. The Wednesday game of ball,
which by every sequence, should have
been to Great Bends credit, and
which would have put US No. . in the
League standing, was won by Els.
worth ia a score of6 10 2. 1t was
good game Of ball, however, and the
fault OF losing is with the management
and not with the PLAYERS.
Taylor, a young lad from Larned,
who has the making Of a good pitcher,
but who was in faster company than
he is familiar with, went into the box
for the home team, but during the
4th inning, when the visitors were
hammering him out of countenance,
he was rellyed and Harmison put in.
Ellsworth had three to the good, and
Great Bend one. but the start of the
visitors could not be overcome.
% The visitors were great on the beef,
and one OF them got SO abusive that
Umpire Flynn sent him to the bench.
Then the visitors made bluff to take
their doll rags and go home. The
differences were Smoothed over for
the time. But later the kicker again
got loud and the umpire put him off
the grounds. After the close of the
game he and Flynn had a few passes
with base ball bats, but nobody hurt.

Weather Observer
Sullivan to Leave
Grand Junction

The announcement is made that
Richard H. Sullivan, observer of the
local weather bureau, has been pro
NOTED to a better charge, and in
short time will leave Grand Junction
to take charge of the weather bureau
station at Wichita. Kan. Mr.. Sulli-
van will be succeeded by Robert NJ.
Hardinge, who is now located at Syr-
acuse. n. Y.
Mr.. Sullivan does not know just
when he will leave the city. His sue
cessor will probably arrive within the
next two weeks. He hopes to be able
TO remain IN the city two or three
weeks after he is relieved from this
office.
The regret attending the departure
of Mr.. Sullivan will be general. He
has proved at all times most effic-
lent. accommodating and painstaking
official. Socially he is a pleasant man
10 meet and has daily grown in pop
ularity during the two and half
years he has resided in the city. This
city will regret very much to give up
Mr.. Sullivan and his family, but will
take great pleasure in commencing
him to the citizens of Wichita
Mr.. Sullivan came to Grand juno
tion in December of 1902. At that
time the prestige of the Grand June
tion station was somewhat low, ow-
ing TO certain conditions. Mr.. Sui
livan was not long in making the
office thorough in every respect and
today the local Office is graded high.
The service has been more than sat
isfaetory. Mr.. Sullivan proved
tireless and heroic worker whenever
the valley was threatened with frost,
and his efforts at these times won for
him the highest commendation of the
people of the entire valley. Weeks
in and weeks out he has been faithful
in the discharge OF his duties.
The change is decided promotion
for Mr.. Sullivan and he is deserving
of the best things the weather bu-
reau service has in store. We only
hope that the man who succeeds him
will keep the office up to the present
high standard. Before coming to the
Grand valley Mr.. Sullivan was chief
clerk in the office at indianapolis,
ind. Prior to that he was chief clerk
IN the Office at Denver. There is no
doubt that he is one of the most
men in the service.
