ROSWELL IN
THE TENTH

1t took ten innings TO decide the
base ball contest at Amusement Park
yesterday afternoon, but Roswell was
finally the winner over Lake Arthur,
eight to seven. The game was clean
through it's first half, the only score
being made in the first by Roswell.
In the sixth came a shower Of hits.
scratch hits and errors, and out of
it all Lake Arthur made six runs and
Roswell four, making the score six
to five in favor of the visitors. There
was nothing doing then until the last
half of the ninth, when Roswell tied
it up. In the first of the tenth Lake
Arthur scored one, and in the last
half Roswell ran in two with but one
out, ending the game at a period
when many more runs might have
been sent in had they been necessa-
ry During all the latter part of the
contest the excitement was intense,
and as the true enjoyment of a base
ball game is excitement, the fans
were delighted with it, whether they
won or lost
Big Jim pitched for Roswell. Brat
ton pitched well for Lake Arthur for
five innings, but after the sixth Wal
ker went in the box.
The feature of the game was the
batting of both teams. Walker, Cald-
well and Reed each got three hits,
Walker having one two-bagger and
Caldwell two. Metcalf, Nichols, Muir
ply, Leland, McCaslin and Big Jim
each got two hits, and Fred Wilson's

fence.
League Organized.
At a meeting of managers at the
Payton drug store last night the Pc
cos Valley Base Ball League was or
ganized with w. G. Lawrence, of
Lake Arthur, as chairman, and Cyrus
J. Leland, of Roswell, as secretary.
These officers are temporary and a
meeting will later be called to effect
permanelS organization. Others pres
ent were H. l.. Harsh berger, of Lake
wood, and NJ. d. Burns and w. P.
Anderson, representing the railroad
company. The towns included in the
organization are Roswell, Hagerman.
Lake Arthur, Artesia and Lakewood.
An attempt will be made to get
Carlsbad in the league. There was
quite a spirited discussion over the
three names that had been proposed,
the Barb-wire League, the Alfalfa
League and the Pecos Valley League,
and the latter won.
The league proposes to have a reg
ular schedule of games all summer
The railroad has given a permanent
rate of one and third fare for the
round trip, not only for players but
for all who wish to go to other towns
to attend the games. Regular umpires
and scorers will be secured.
The first lot of games were set as
follows: Lake Arthur and Lakewood
at Lakewood ON April "a; Roswell
and Lake Arthur at Lake Arthur on
the 2Sth; Roswell and Lakewood at
Lakewood on the 29th.
