| ArteS1a lost the base ball game at
Amusement Park Saturday afternoon
| in which the teams of the Roswell
and Artesia high schools were con
testing, but so hard was the fight, so
close was the game and so even was
| the score that honors were divided.
However, Roswell was the victor, win
ming in the tenth inning by the score
! of three to two.
Roswell scored in the first inning,
when Moore, who had gone down af-
ter being hit by the pitcher had gone
| to second on Nelson's base on balls
and stolen third, ran home on a muff-
ed ball by the pitcher. Hall made the
second score for Roswell in the third,
when, after hit and stolen base, he
scored on Nelson's hit.
Artesia scored one il the third
when Will Lynn, who got hit after
Williamson was down on base on
balls was advanced on a felder's
choice and an error, and finally scor-
ed when batted ball was thrown to
first. Artesia scored again il the
fourth when Crandall went down on
an error, was advanced by a base on
balls and ran home on hit by Call
The score was tied in the first of
the fourth, two to two, and from that
time neither side was able to make
a run through six almost perfect in
lings. Both teams played as steady

when NorvelI, in left, caught a nice
drive and made a double by throwing

work was fast and clean. In the last

walked. The bases were full and

rule, he was instructed to bu1t. The
situation was critical. Lynn, pitching
| for Artesia, showed his realization of
the situation and excited condition
by passing two men. Then came Bur
rus bunt. Instead of going on the
ground it flew to the pitcher, who
caught it, threw to third, from where

sia boys or not could restrain a
shout of applause for such a play.
coming at such time.
This was the first triple play made
on Roswell grounds this year, and
there was only one such play made
last year.
In their half of the tenth the Arte-
sia boys could not score, and in the
last half of the tenth Norvell scored
on three hits AID one error, and the
game was over.
Moore pitched great game for
Roswell. Although he struck out but
two men, only two clean hits Were
made off of him. Two more are credit
ed against him, however; but they
were scratches and should have been
fielded but for errors in judgment
His only weak point was in lack of

ting one. Lynn, for Artesia, also
pitched well. He struck out Z, passed
three, hit two and allowed six hits,
three of the hits in the tenth inning.
The attendance was only fair, and
lit is understood that the management
lost money on the game.
