erect than the other, marched seeming
ly with as much alacrity as their
young and handsome escort.
After being introduced to the party,
all were seated, and as the old confed-
crate expressed himself after the elab-
crate rspast, he said he never dreamed
of such hospitality SO far north. He
said if all this genuine hospitality had
been extended in his beloved Dixie
that it would have been nothing more
than he would have expected. He
told the generous young party that he
would bet his old right arm that if
they could trace back their ancestry
they certainly would find they were
from the Sunny South.
But the most interesting part of this
brilliant affair. occurred at late
hour. when they took their leave.
The two old boys in their blue and
gray stood erect with clasped hands
wishing each other many more years
and prosperity. Col. Keating remarked
to Lieut. Witten that he thought to
make this occasion an absolute sue

ladies came forward at once and with

part of the elegant bill of fare. They
responded as one man that they were
also sorry they were not soldiers. =

GleawOOd Loses Out

The Glenwood ball team returned
Tuesday night from Ouray where they
played two games with the local team.
The tlip was not succe ssful so far RS
winning was concerned as all four
contests were lost, two at Delta
against Telluride and two at Ouray.
However the Pets have very reason
able excuse to offer for their poor
showing as they were unable to take
along their regular team and even the
old players had to play in new posi-
tions. The consequence of this was
very disastrous and bad support was
responsible for the loss of two of the
games.
In the first game at Delta, Wilder
of the Grand junction Rubes, was
in the box for the Pets and he al
lowed 90 hits. The game was one
sided, Telluride winning II to 3.
In the second contest Caldwell. a
youngster from Delta, did the twirl
ing and pitched a beautiful game but
bad support took away all chance of
winning Result to a
The team left Delta for Ouray Sat
urday where they were Joined by
Pitcher Ballinger of Fairplay.
In Sundays game the Pets played
miserable ball, Ouray winning l2 to
/, but Labor Day contest was a
pitchers battle between Ballinger and
Folk and was one of the fastest ex-
hibitions ever seen in Ouray, the home
team winning 9 to O..
This was the only game in which
the Glenwood boys seemed to strike
their gait, and had not Page made a
couple of errors it is doubtful whether
Ouray could have won.
1t is probable that both Telluride
and Ouray will play the local team
here in the near future and we predict
that the regular Glenwood team can
turn the tables on them. Any base
ball player knows that when the reg.
nlar line of a team Is broken that
it disorganizes team and makes
them fully SO per cent weaker, and we
firmly believe that this is the reason
the Glenwood team made such bad
showing rather than the other teams
being stronger.
