ATHLETICS VS.. LEAGUE TEAM
GAME CLOSED By SCORE or TO
is FOR DENVER
League Players Were Up Against Stir
Proposition Until About Sew
enth Inning.

Every one interested in base ball
and that means the majority Of people
in GOOdland-was glad 20 know that
the management OF the Athletic asso-
citation had arranged for a game be-
tween the GOOdland Athletics and the
Denver League team, to take place in
GOOdland last Monday. The prospect
Of seeing some genuine professional
players was pleasing one, but even
the most hopeful hackers Of the local
association did not dream OF seeing
anything like an even game They
knew, Of course that the Athletics
could play ball, but when it came
20 putting them I'D against league
players why, it almost gave timid peO-
pie nervous prOstratiOn to think about
it And the appearance Of the Den
yer players was not calculated to
SOOthe delicate neSves5 either They
ready for a scramble, or a bunch Of
prize fighters than they did like an
ordinary base ball team
Monday afternoon was particularly
disagreeable, the wind blowing a gale
from the south, but even the disagree
able weather did not prevent a large
attendance and when, shortly after
o'clock, the game was called, the dis
comforts OF the day were soon forgot
ten in the excitement Of the game
Those who had come expecting to see
the GOOdland players put completely
out Of the game were certainly disap-
pointed. The first three innings were
played without a score being made
by either side The Athletics were I'M
able TO get beyond second, while the
Denver players simply could not find
Germans balls 1t was not until the
fourth inning that they succeeded in
getting a safe hit, and in this inning
they scored but one The Athletics
failed to score in the fourth, but fol-
lowing Denver's unsuccessful attempt
in the fifth, they did some exception
ally fine work at the bat, and scored
twice With GOOdland in the lead, the
crowd went wild. Then Denver sue
ceeded in making three more runs,
and in the last half Of the sixth, Ma
honey sent the ball whizzing over the
fence, and chased around the diamond
making a home run for GOOdland.
With the score standing as il did at
the end of the sixth, either side stood
a chance to win out, but in the sew
enth1 when Everett was counted safe
at first, and a few minutes later, when
Fowler made a wild throw. it was
seen that the game was lost for Good
land.
The game was a fast one, but errors
were made by bOlth sides. Taking
the standing Of the two teams into
consideration, the Athletics may we'll
be proud Of their record. The follow
ing IS the score:

FOR POP FACTORY.

Fred Benzing Of Seneca Here to Look
Over GrOUnd-OId Time Resident.
Fred Benzing, who is the proprietor
Of pop bOttling factory at Seneca,
Kan, and who formerly lived in Sher-
man county many years ago, was in
GOOdland a few days this week, look
ing over the ground with a view to
establishing pop bOttling works in
this city.
He found that there was no large
outlet to the east on the Rock Island,
as there are bottIing works Of this
kind at Colby, Norton and other points
down the line but that west Of Good
land he would have all the opening
that exists, as the pop business had
not yet passed over the line into Colo
RADIO He said that to make the bot
tlinO works successful financially, the
output would have to be twenty cases
a day, and that if the demand run IN
der that, it would hardly pay to open
such an establishment in GOOdland-
He figured that the demand in Good
land would not exceed seven or eight
cases per day.
Mr. Benzing has returned to his
home in Seneca, but Will keep an eye
on GOOdland, as he may open a bot
ting establishment here at some fu-
ture time.
