WHEN THE
SUN WENT OUT
Canyon Took Two 10 Amtr.lO'S
Blank Score Yesterday
Afternoon.


the sun is shining bright
And somewhere men are happy and
somewhere hearts are light
And somewhere women sing, and
somewhere children shout
But there's no Joy In Amarillo
mighty Noonan has struck
out"
(Revsed Works OF Casey--1st Ed
After pitching an alright game
for three innings yesterday, with the
locals hanging on to the tied score
like bull dogs, Hugely" Weber had
everything in the way OF bad luck
happen to him in the fourth and the
Canyon City Cow Boys spilled two
runs across the plate with a couple
OF the scratchiest kind OF hits and
two errors, one OF which he gener-
ously contributed, the other was a
gift by Right Fielder Dewitt,
The final count was 2 to 0 and
those two scratch hits and those two
errors caused defeat to the Panhan-
die champions in the first game of
the AMARILLO Canyon series.
The locals couldn't have won the
game with the fourth inning cut out
unless someone had chloroformed
Roy Mitchell. They bumped only
five hits off him all day and never
had chance to score except in tho
eighth inning when two safe swats
came near enough together to almost
score Smith and he would have
scored with cleverly engineered
coaching.
A draw is the best the locals could
have grabbed off even with the rag
ged fourth removed from tab.
big Mitchell out pitched Weber
by several degrees, observing the
anti-pass rule with very strict neu-
trality, and permitting only two To-
Gals to reach third base. Weber
gave one pass which was intentional,
Mitchell also gave an intentional
pass and made bum pitch which
punctured the grand stand.
Smiths glove proved slippery on
one occasion and strebel reached
first, DeWitt's arm proved too strong
on one occasion and Bell scored the
first run of the game, these errors,
added to Webers pair, were the only
mishaps charged to the locals, Holl-
man made the star catch Of the game
In the fifth inning with two strikes
and three balls on him, Dewitt pick
ed out a good one and ticketing 1t
for two bases, Hellman leaped into
the air and pulled 1t down. Canyon
City had only one error and this was
not of the costly kind. Hellman and
Young, however, made plays of the
winning kind. Young's catch of But
ler's "near-home-run" drive in the
second being pure robbery. Weber
disposed of three Cow Boys in row
in the first and Mitchell did likewise
to the locals. Bell broke open the
second round for Canyon with a
beautiful triple. Mosely went out
on a long fly to left field, Wicker
rolled puny grounder to Hollander
and was thrown out at first, He'll
man sent a fly to Butler, closing the
round.
Things happened in the fourth,
Weber soaked Mitchell in the Stats,
Bell forced Mitchell at second, Nose
~ approached the plate with his trus-
ty Sarah game and singled clearly,
Wicker stalked up and with a lovely
solitaire reached first base, Dewitt
returned the ball and 1t almost went
over the grandstand and Bell scam
pered home with the first run of the
game.
Hellman hit to Weber who glanced
to first, to third and then TO first
and was lost, Mosely started for
home and when Weber secovered he
heaved wildly to Foye and Mosely
scored. Weber pulled himself to-
gether and famed Hunnlcut and
Hubbard these we're the only counts
OF the game.
During the gamo exactly seven
Amarilloites reached first alive, five
on hits, one got his base and one
on a muffed fly ball. Foy reached
second in the ninth and the fans were
ali pulling for Noonan to init 1t over
the fence" but Noonan struck out
and there's no Joy in Amarillo"
McCloskey is pitching today.
The score:
| AMARILLO.
