BASEBALL

A tired out bunch of ball players in
the last stages of fatigue staggered
through the gate from the ball park
Saturday afternoon. They wore the
green and red of Glenwood and were
too ''all- in even to smile. And
Belts OF Palisade, he of the strong
arm. was the cause of it all The
boys were dead to the world, caused
by the little game of fox and geese
around the diamond started by the
aforesaid box artist. 1t was hit and
run. then hit snd run some more and
before the boys in green from Glen
wood we're allowed to desist by Cap
tain Philips, they had swatted the
twisters OF Mr.. Belts to 'steen dozen
different corners Of the lot, registering
nineteen singles and few doubles
and triples off the delivery Of the
Aforesaid gent from the peach dis
trict. And tine Palisade fielders-oh,
what a weary looking lot. Had an
humane society officer been there, he
would certainly have compelled Man
ager Jordon of the PAlisade Green
Peaches to provide his men with SOW
sral relays Of swift horses to field the
terrific bingles Of the Barton aggrega-
tiOn.

pie partook of the ripe. red berries
before the meal was over late in the
afternoon, Not person who desired
the berries failed to obtain them.
The swimming pool and vapor caves
came in for large share of attention.
Suits were furnished free and the pool
was crowded from early morning until
late at night by hundreds of bathers.
Many a pair Of blistered arms and
shoulders are being nursed this week
due to over Indulgence in the pool.
The attendants at the cave house had
more than they could handle, and
were busy every minute rejuvenating
tired and worn out guests that they
themselves to the utmost every minute
of the day
Acrobats and clowns we're in evi-
dence on the streets and vacant lots
and their mirth producing antics were
thoroughly appreciated by Young
America. The performers we're fol-
lowed from place to place by the boys
and girls who. seemingly, never tired
of the capers of the supple limbed
athletes.
Terpsichorean enthusiasts were very
much in evidence in the evening. The
large canvas square at Eighth and
Grand was covered by dancers and the
big opera house ON River Front was
filed to overhowing. The music was
all that could be, desired. Dreamy
saltzes and lively two-steps followed
one another in endless succession and
midnight Saturday found scores of
tired but happy individuals slowly
vending their homeward way to sleep
the sleep of the weary.
From business standpoint, Straw
berry day of 1907 was the most sue
cessful of all While, perhaps, the
number of visitors would not exceed
that of previous years, better class
was in evidence, and the merchants
almost without exception, report in
creased business over the receipts for
the same day in previous years. The
tenth annual celebration demonstrates
conclusively that Strawberry day is
here to stay. and will be celebrated
by coming Glenwood generations
years after yon and have partaken
of our last dish of berries.
The various comm ittes in charge of
the different branches of the celebra-
tion deserve most of the credit for its
tremendous success Those in charge
worked hard and faithfully and de-
served the good results that followed
their labors. On the various commit
tees were: music-B. T. Napier

Ninety crates of berries. 80 gallons

cakes were used in feeding few less
than 5000 people.

How the Palisade bunch of spheroid
manipulators ever managed to hang
the Indian sign on Glenwoood is a
puzzle that is distracting local fans.
Yet they did do so a month ago in
lightning game in which they seemed
to out class the Cave men. Jordon

the water babies had received an in
lection of ginger that caused them to

artillery had started and did not cease
until fifteen runs had crossed the
plate, a high pecentage of which were
hammered in by the cleanest kind of
hitting.
Palisade. in addition to playing a
loose fielding game was decidedly
weak with the big stick. Their hard
knockers used the perforated bat re-
peatedly and many of the batsmen
might lust as we'll have used a sieve
as far as results we're concerned.
Thirteen of them helped rarity the
Colorado atmosphere around the home
nlata in vain attempt to connect
with Ballingei $ twisters and but one
safe hit was recorded off the Glenwood
twirler in the nine innings, Not a
man reached third base in the course
of the game.
The fielding features of the game
were catches by Philips and Toepfer
and fast work by Shortstop Johnson of
Palisade. Bracken, the Palisade cap
tain. is a lightning man on his feet :
although he made several errors in the
game, he went after everything in
sight and most of them were excus-
able.

Strengthened by Hogart and Hopeiy.

the centre potato patch, Palisade had
strong hopes of putting crimp in the
sails of the Glenwood team. False

plenty and then some. Scorer Nc
Carthy gives the locals only ten safe
ones off Grinning Hogart's wind-up,
but the ash wielders from Hotwater-
vile we're slashing the ball in the
snout throughout the game and most
of the even dozen errors chalked up
against the conglomeration of green
peaches from the Palisade orchard and
missed shots from the Aspen mines
were made on the hardest kind of
chances. Many Of the trials would
have been put down as hits by
scorer less strict than INC. p" The
locals performed the feat of shutting
out Palisade in two consecutive
games, only two men getting as far
as third base in the two games. Not

last six innings of the game a week
ago at Aspen and up till Sunday night
he had pitched twenty four consecu-
tive innings of shut.out ball and not

striking out an average of better than
thirteen men to the game. He also
fielded his position without an error
and got seven hits out of twelve times
at bat in the three contests.
An errorless game goes down to the
credit of the Glenwood players as the
result of Sundays contest. They
fielded in the most approved fashion
and the Palisade runners had the
hardest job they ever tackled getting
from base to base. The infeld work
was especially strong while the out
field also took care of the ball when
ever it strayed off into their territory.

AS regards the rapidly with which daily
events can be photographed and shown
within an hour or two to the general
public, the following account Of the ar
rangements made for the Grand National
1907 race will suffice to give some idea OF
this Six taking machines were at work
on different points of the race course and
a special van was in readiness for the
films to be developed while en- route for
London. The moment the race was over
the train started, and while running full
speed homeward the operators were hard
at work developing. Indeed not only were
the films developed. but they were wash
ed and dried on a special mechanical
drum.
On arrival a motor car in waiting car
ried the film quickly to the printing es.
tablishment. where $50 feet Of IL was
printed on to the positive film. As soon
as this was dried 1t was rushed of to the
Alhambra, Empire and Oxford theaters
and shown to an almost incredulous au-
dience. When the final cup tie was played
the film to London. and within three
hours a cinematograph display Of the
match was given.
The royal wedding which took place re-
Gently at Wood Norton was another occa-
sion on which remarkable celebrity was
displayed by the energetic cinematograph-
ers. The bridegroom and the procession
were photographed with apparatus watch
had been perfectly adjusted beforehand.
The moment the necessary photographs
were secured the films were rushed
through at breakneck speed. and, as Is
we'll known. the wedding ceremony was
shown to Londoners on the evening OF the
same day.
