First Game Between Las Vegas
Blues and Ell Paso Browns

BY a score of Is to G., the FL Paso
Browns were defeated by the Las
Vegas Blues SATURDAY. afternoon at
Washington park, in a game which at
times was poor, but during certain
innings was of considerable interest to
the spectators, says the FL Paso
Times.
The bulk of the visitors runs were
made in four innings; in fact every
score save one was recorded in the
first, fifth, sixth, seventh and ninth.
Six runs were made in the sixth in
nings on a series of hits and an equal
number of errors.
Fitzgerald and Young pitched for
the Browns, while Matney was in the
box for the Blues. Young twirled
only three innings but he has prac-
ticed enough this season to be in his
old-time form.
In the sixth inning, when the score
was so largely increased, Schnepp
reached second through a hit and an
error. Matnev and Lyons then batted
safe. but Schnepp was caught on
third. Lampkin, the next man up hit
out a safe one and Matney scored,
Lyons landing on third. Rathburn,
the next man at bat, famed out and
Daniels made hit that scored Ly.
ons. A succession of errors and hits
then brought the score up larger.
In the first inning which was
marked by three runs for the visitors
Lyons got to first on an error. Rath
burn, the next man up, hit out long
grounder and Lyons went from first
home. On a throw to the plate Rath
burn went to second. Through a sue
cession of errors Daniels scored ant
the hitting kept up.
Following Is the score:
