ANOTHER ROUNDUP
Canyon City Cowboys Take The Medicine
Man Fully as Administered BY Dick
Lewis and His Supporters,

III lht pIehtnCt OF 4Vu eNkcl rams
Dick Lewis presented tho Canyon
City Cowboys with large, juicy
lemon yesterday afternoon, The
Cowboys were simply lassoed and
the game dragged away from them,
II all happened this way: Lewis went
into the game to win and he had the
Indian sign on the Canyon aggrega-
ton from the time he pitched the
first ball The big fellow was ably AS
sisted by Captain Gallaher and his
pals,
The Rosemonts started In early TO
win the game, jennings, the first
man up, took three frantic strikes
at the rather damp atmosphere.
Weller duplicated the feat, Then
with Captain Gallaher mp and Lewis
on deck Amarillo stock scared high,
The captain answered the rousing re-
ception given him by rapping out
beautiful two-bagger When Dick
Lewis faced Mitchell, his old team
mate, the way Amarillo fans dam
aged Manager Rowan's grand stand
was a sin. Lewis had blood In his
eye and an overgrown young tree in
his hand. Two strikes had been
called on him and the fans settled
back to take what they regarded as
the inevitable. But there was a
sound Of crashing timber and far out
in right field a player was seen to
make dash for the sphere. But.
there was no use; the ball was seen
high In the air, then 1t disappeared
probably in the river three miles this
side OF Canyon The big fellow
made the circuit and was presented
with a shower of small change from
Amarillo fans. Bell went out to Grst
and the side was retired.
In her half the Canyon club me lie
a noble effort to score, but OF no
avail. Carter misludged one from
Mitchells bat and when the ball was
returned the Canyon player was
perched on the third corner, Wicker
singled and by brilliant work Mitch
ell was nabbed at the plate. Arm
strong sacrificed Wicker, and with
Mckay at bat things looked good for
the Cowboys, but Lewis took an eX-
ira hitch in his belt, spat in his NIT,
put on an assortment OF curves, ben
ders, etc, and Mr. Mckay padded
the ozone.
In the second Canyon tied things
up on single, double and couple
of sacrifices, In the third Lewis de-
termined to unite the score, and with
Weller at second and two men down,
he placed the horsehide in a garden
that joins the ball park and again
made the circuit of the bags. After
this Canyon went to pieces and Lew
Is, seeing that he had the game won,
began to loaf and Canyon garnered |
az compile more safeties off his de-
livery
After a long absence Mellard VS.
again in tho Roscmont lineup and |
he slaughtered tho horschidc, as he
always has. Melard was up FIVE
times and got four hits, batting
average of 500 per cent.
Captain Galaher also hit the ball
in addition to putting up fast field
ing game. He was up FIVE times and
got three safeties, two doubles and
single. Lewis, Trippett and Bell all
hit well. Weller was all over the
field He took line drives from back
of third and second that were sure
hits, besides covering his own ground
in excellent shape. Mckay, Mitchell
and Reynolds led in stick work for
Canyon City.
p All in all, 1t is evident that since
I the Amarillo team has gotten to-
gether they have the Canyon team
out, classed two to one Canyon will
be here for one game Saturday
Wicker will try to get revenge for his
defeat here Friday. But Captain
Gallaher says he will have to import
IN few more big leaguers to do it.
The score;
