A ball game was advertised to take
place yesterday. but spectators were
sadly disappointed. 1t was the big
gest farce that ever took place on {
Durango diamond, hence no attemp
| viii be made to give the result by In
nings.
| Silverton started In with three un
earned runs, scored again In thu
fourth, three In the sixth and four il
the ninth-ekeven runs In all. whit
ON the part of Durango there were
MIR as pretty goose eggs as ont
could wish to put under q cluoaint
| hen.
There was little difference in the
playing of the Durango bsys. Thel
could not hit barn door. Some
struck at lalls two feet above theil
heads. and hereafter box will bt
handy for them TO stand on. Agah
when they did hit the ball it was tC
no purpose. And In the field 1t was
the same. It was mum, mum, all the
time, two errors allowing Silvertor
to get in-seven runs. And in the Aace
of this the Durango pitcher struck
out 13 men. discounting his rival
from Silverton. But when the &l
verton boys found the ball 1t was to
count, partly from hard hitting and
again by muffs.
Only one Durango player reached
third and only two or three second
And starting out It looked good. Her
rick was Rrst to bat and given base
on balls, stole second and made
third. Roberts followed and was Civ
en- base on balls, also making second
Herrick was put out at home plate
and then the nine went out like a
flicker. And this was the only op
portunity given to score.
With the same players there will
be only empty benches at the ball
games in the future.
The Durango ball team, as at pres
ent hsoked up, should practice with
the High school boys, Fort Lewis In
