ABOUT THE PLAYERS.

1t is generally conceded that La
Junta has the greatest bunch of
amateur basebali players in Colora-
do, and some'of them are destined
to be in big league circles before
many seasons. A brief sketch of
who's who in local baseball circles
will be of interest and is as follows:
. George Pratt, pitcher--Hails from
Springfield, Mo played college and
independent ball in Missouri: tried
out with Pueblo league team in
1908.
Will Morris. left field Chillicothe.
Mo; played with amateur teams in
Missouri.
Will Lehr, catcher Home is

George G.. Anderson. of Denver
engineer in charge of the construc-

District. was La Junta visitor last
Monday, while on his way home
from trip of inspection to the dam
site. Mr.. Anderson has ordered an
additional steam shovel installed at
once IN order to make absolutely
sure the completion Of the dam be-
fore the winter season sets in. 1t is
the intention of the officials of the
Otero Irrigation District to give an
excursion to the reservoir site i'm
Chaffee county early in September
in order that the business men and
citizens generally of La Junta may
become familiar with the work, and
eye witnesses of the immensity and
stability of the great project whose
successful operation will be of ines
timable value in the development
and prosperity of this community.

Several members of the La Junta

cassie banks Of Lake Meredith this
week. Reports from the camp in
dicate that they are landing 'scads'
of carp and catfish. Also some

The Phipps' Prides represent the
Phipps' Consumptive Sanitarium in
Denver. where they have the finest
diamond in the west on the santa
rum grounds and play for the
amusements of the patients. Mil
lionaire Phipps is great baseball
fan and the boys are not handicap
ped for expense money. In Denver
the Prides play altogether on the
sanitarium grounds.
The Phipps' Prides of Denver
played series of two games with
La Junta on Thursday and Friday of
this week. The first game was one
of the fastest ever played on the
local diamond, and was won by La
Junta by score of to 0. La Jun

WEEKS FIESTA OF BASEBALL.

La Junta has had weeks fiesta
of baseball. and the Boosters an un-
broken record of continuous victor
les. Two games were played last
Saturday and Sunday with Sugar
City, two games Tuesday and We'd
nesday with the champion Trinidad
State League team. and two games
Thursday and Friday with the
Phipps' Prides of Denver, in all of
which the Boosters came out victor
ious.
In the game with Trinidad. the
Boosters distinguished themselves
by shutting out the famous Trini-
dad organization. Pratt. our star
twirler. was in the box. and had the
heavy hitters of the coal fields at
his mercy at all stages of the game.
He not only pitched gilt-edged ball,
but played all over the diamond as
well and did not let even desperate
chance escape him. Trinidad's only
chance to score was in the second
inning. when, with the bases full
and ever. body holding his breath,
Pratt struck out the third man.
Only on one other occasion did
Trinidad player succeed in reach
ing third base. In the eighth in
ming the first two men up got hits,
but Captain Webster hit into fast
double, and the side was retired
when kerner flew out to Pratt.
The features of the game were the
batting of Jordan. Morris throw to
the home plate cutting off arun, and
the circus one-hand catch of Web
ster on second base.
The story of the game in detail is
told in the official score which is as
follows:
La Junta tribune., 1908-07-04

Yer City League had not done very
well in the Arkansas Valley up to
the hour OF gong to press. having
lost four out OF the six games.
In one of the greatest games of
baseball ever played at Colorado
Springs. the Zebs last Sunday won
the second game Of the series
against Trinidad by the score of 5 to
4 in twelve inning contest.
Captain Hugo Jordan. of the Las
AnlmaS team, who played second
base for the Boosters during the
Trinidad series, is rival of Teddy
as a weilder of the big stick, making
three of the five hits in the first
game.
Rocky Ford trimmed the Phipps.
Prides in two games this week. On
Tuesday it required twelve innings
for the cantaloupe rollers to win by
a score of 4 to 3. The Prides were
shut out on the following day by
score of Z too.
Booths home run in the last game
with Trinidad netted him a donation
of SIG. and he very generously di-
vided the pot with Denniston. whose
two-bagger Immediately preceding
the home run event brought in three
of the five scores made during the
game.
The game with Rocky Ford today,
the day we celebrate, will be stem
winder. Each team has won three
games from each other during the
present season, and the contest for
the odd game will be for "burlood'
and all the trimmings incident
thereto.
On July 9th and 10th the fast
Glenwood Springs team will be in
La Junta for series of two games.
They were the winners in the eigh-
teen inning game with Cripple
Creek few weeks ago, the most
extended inning game in the history
Of baseball in Colorado.
During the present season the La
Junta Boosters have played thirty
two games. and have won twenty
four, lost seven and played one tie
game with Las Animas. The per-
centage of the team, in games won
and lost, is 766 greater than any of
the league teams in the country.
The batting average of the La
Junta Boosters, including the two
games with Trinidad, is as follows:
Lehr, 367; Daimler, BOG; Schmid
295; Hill. 270; Denniston. 267; Nor.
