SECOND DAY RESULTS.
From Thursdays Daily.

Ball game won by Durango 12 to Q
One-half mile dash won by Joe D
in Sly, Rags second.
1t took three heats to decide the har.
ness race, Black Prince winning first
and Arrowpine the next two. Time
first heat 2:35; second 2:32, and
third 2;31k. Better time by four sec.
rowpine.
Five-eighths mile dash won by Ches
ter B. Rabbi second, Fanchon third
Three-fourths mile Rabbi first, Fan
chon second, Gray Buck and Pearl
The latter horse ran away twice, the
rider being unable to hold the animal,
hence when the start was made the
horse was well winded.
In the buck Indian race Pamiose
won easily with Antoine Buck second.
The chicken pulling contest was. as
usual, the interesting feature. The
Indian raising the sack was on the
best horse and easily led the bunch
around the course.
The races were free from jockeying
and interesting. Joe d landing for first
money again. Indicating the horse is
In good trim.
The ball game was too much one
sided to be interesting, although the
score was on the side to please the
big majority. Rowe Pingrey was in
the box for Durango and pitched a
fine game, Silverton boys being un-
able to find him for any safe hits and
the two scores in the last inning were
largely the part of errors, the first
batter up reaching the base by low
throw to LIST and with another error
the two runs were made. Durango got
several unearned runs, the proper
score being about to 0. The Durango
boys played very good ball and made
several fine plays, one time making a
double play with an opportunity for a
triple. The Silverton boys were un
able to hold the ball and muffed sev-
eral flies that permitted runs. But
as stated yesterday, the players have
not had any practice and 1t is a won
der the score does not run higher. Al
any rate there is much interest as the
players are home boys and reminds
one OF some years ago-before the
managers imported professionals to be
occasionally let down.

The EAGLES, SMOKER.

lhe Durango Eagles entertained
their visiting brothers and friends at
Red Men hall last night most royalty.
About $50 took advantage of the op-
portunity to spend few hours pleas
antly. The program was pleasing
one.
The Durango orchestra and the in
imitable Billy Edwards instrumentally
and vocally entertained the assem-
blage between numbers. Messrs.
Smith, Harper, Johnson and Ober gave
some very clever exhibitions in clog
dancing and soft shoe work.
Haggerty Of Durango and Smith "of
Pitkin" gave four round boxing bout
in which Smith was given the deci-
sion. Smith is the cleverest of the
two, but he is about twenty pounds
lighter than Haggerty and was short
on wind. Haggerty is not active
enough, either with the mitts or foot
work
The next was six round go be-
tween Frank Underhill of Durango
and Kid Harding. While this bout fur
iiShtu a boou utdl IL
was not much in fistic line. Harding
assumed the Nelson crouch, and was
evidently doing his very best to keep
from hurting the Durango boy. After
the first round or two there was not
much to it. Underhill. who put on
the gloves to "fll in,' made some
clever jabs and ducks, but he lacks
ring experience. However, he was
willing and made a fair showing.
Harding, who was announced as a
Silverton boy, is from Cripple Creek,
where he has gone against the best
of them and stands at the top of his
class.
There was to have been a six round
| go between Billy Doll and George
Blakesley, but when they were sized
up it was found that their arms were
too short for jabs in the face, and, as
boxing stills have not yet come into
use, the bout was called off.
