CentraIs Win from 4. !. Lewis 8 Son.

The team from A. Il. Lewis & Sons Of
Denver proved "easy marks" for the
home team Sunday, although the locals
did some very loose playing at times.
The heavy batting OF the Centrals, as.
sisted by slow fielding and poor throw
ing Of the Denver team in the fourth
and sixth innings, accounts for the big
score. Semmens' three. base hit in the
fourth inning, with the bases full, was
the feature Of the game. Hartzell, OF
Golden, the man with the elongated
body and short legs, caught for the Gen.
trails and did good work. The game was
called after the first half of the eighth
inning to allow the Denver team to
catch the afternoon train. Following is
