DALHART WINS
3 OUT or 5
(From Mondays Dally)

The last two games In series
OF five between Dalhart and the To-
calls were played at the Glenwood
park yesterday afternoon to one OF
the largest crowds that has ever as
sembled at this popular resort. The
first game OF the series was played
here and resulted In a victory for
Amarillo, the next two we're played
at Dalhart, both being Dalhart ylcto-
ries, and hence the interest in the
two games scheduled for yesterday
was the more intense.
Three coach loads OF Dalhart root
ers accompanied the team and were
most enthusiastic In their support Of
their boys While there was a great
deal OF good natured "hurrahing,"
wrangling and disputes were conspic-
uous by their absence. only once In
the course OF the two games was
there any signs OF real bloody war.
This was when some husky lad Of
about seven feet ny three whose
nationality was Dalhart, became en-
Unused at the outlook for a victory
and ran amuck in the park, execut-
ing various and comlcal gyratlons in
the, air and emitting quite as various
an assortment OF remarks in his
own tongue, But, alas for him, his
enthusiasm was cut quite short when
he made the fatal mistake OF ad-
vancing too far into hostile territory
and narrowly missed a head-on GOLF
sion with Threckeld who immediate
ly declared war, with the result that
a great deal OF noise was ceased and
one vicious warrior vanished slowly
into oblivion.
The first game In which Lynch
did the pitching for the visitors and
Threlkeld for the locals, resulted In
score OF to 4 for Amarillo, and
in which each team secured home
run. The game was closely contest
cd and runs we're notably scarce UNI
I'll Putty for the visitors who had
made several errors at short stop,
redeemed himself by losing the ball
over the left field fence. There were
two men on bases at this particular
juncture, the result being three
scores for Dalhart, making them a
total OF four runs. However, the
home boys worked the timber with
unerring accuracy and at the end of
the ninth inning the score stood four
and four, Then came the second
sensation OF the game. The locals
were at bat. Two men we're retired
and one rested at third. Therlkeld
was up and had passed up two strikes
when In twinkllng, and without the
slightest warning, he ook the pig
skin at the end OF his bat and sent Il
to Join other winner somewhere in
Palo Duro canyon. The official score
only recognized one run, but that
was sufficient to win the game. ,,
The second game went to the Wis
itors by a score OF 3 and 2. In this
Smith held the mound for the visit
ors and Weber was master of cere-
monies for the locals. There was
nothing but hard and determined
work In this game and the scores
with possibly one exception, were
well earned
This gives the honor to Dalhart
for the series, and all Amarillo feels
that they are Justly due the same.
Amarillo must bow to defeat as to
score, but II is still believed that the
home boys are the best yet, as II
has been proven that they play good
ball one game with another and their
percentage OF winnings for the sea-
son is greater than any team in the
Texas league. With Weber and Pee
Ter and Threlkeld and smith they can
Justly claim the honor OF having a
battery equal to any in the state.
All Amarillo fans take off their hats
to these loyal lads and great things
are expected from them in the big
tournament at Albuquerque.
