fans the Albuquerque Mcintosh
Browns Yesterday afternoon, at Trac-
tion park, after a beautiful exhibition
Of clockwOrk baseball, chalked up n
score Of 6 to 4 against the invincibles
from Trinidad. It was the most SEN
s%ational baseball played on the Albu-
querque grounds for many a day, and
the victory was won to the accom-
panimcnt of an earsplltting din from
hundreds and hundreds of cowbells,
auto horns. buzz saws and hewgags
and shrieks from the throats Of as
loyal q bunch of rooters as the Browns
could desire. II was In fact the most
strenuous and exciting afternoon the
park has seen for several moons.
The game was o cleanly ana
neatly. and one of the best profess
sional bail teams in the west was sim =
ply outplayed by the semi-profession-
al local aggregation. 1t was won by
sheer steam and cleverness, and the
Browns not only got the game. but
they got the everlasting and unequiV-
ocal admiration Of the Trinidad men.
