BLOOMERS VS.. TUCUMCARI
Boston Boomers and Home Team Play Ball But BIoomers
Couldn't Do Any Business With the Boys


Owing to high winds she Bloom
er club were unable TO stretch thelI
canvas tent at the place advertised
and the game had to be pulled OF
AT the baseball park; the wind was
responsible lor most Of the errors,
as fielding was next to impossible
The home team opened up the
game, with Darth as the opposing
slabs.womsn, and the way the
local talent 80, on to the ladies'
curves would have thrown a wood
en- Tan into fit.
Stewart let of with a hot one to
riyht, which scorched the grass
in that pasture, and before the
/ ball cooled off he had two sacks to
his credit; Hutchinson followed
with we'll placed bunt and beat
It out, and in the mix-up Stewart
crossed the rubber; Herring died
ON an easy one via second and iirst
route, and Hutch was thrown out
IN an attempt to sreal the second
sack; Simpson handed the lady one
too warm to hold, and through the
kindness OF one OF the ialr sex
Shaw was presented with a bag,
Kendall then landed on-to one ol
iair one drops and lifted It over
the right guardians head, and while
the little one was chasing the
sphere, everybody came home.
Bess ended the spasm with foul
to catcher.
Scant courtesy was shown the
ladies' in their halt, as they we're
handed parcel oi the one, two,
thre" variety, and not a tar one
reached the initial sack.
Darlington started the fireworks
of in the second with a double,
and Baker kept 1t a-goin' with
single; and Stewart got there on an
error, and Hutch hit the sphere on
the nose, making the grass smoke
in deep center, and the diamond
looked like a county lair race
course, and before said ball was
recovered everyone had tailed;
Herring and Simpson died on IN
field grounders, but Shaw tore oil
a hot one which the lady passed
up, Kendall doubled and Shaw
scored; Bess followed with double
to right and Kendall walked IN.
This ended the run getting Tor the
home team for a while, as the tar
chunker resigned her position to
one OF the sterner sex, and he held
the locals down until the eighth
when Herring ripped one OFF in the
right garden ior a home run.
The Bloomer girls got into the
game in the third and succeeded
in pushing two across the plate,
they also got busy in the NTH and
sixth and added two more to their
score; they also started something
in the seventh, after two had been
passed up, Nation, the tair one on
first, tore off a hot triple and
emptied the sacks, but she was
out trying TO stretch it into home
run. In the eighth the ladies add.
ed two more scores to their string,
and shut the locals out ia the ninth;
and in their half, the FIRST up was
presented with pass, and was
called out while making an attempt
to puIloin second; this ended the
ball playing, hut a Joint debate
was started instead, with his
"Umps" as the subject, and while
beautiful and iorceiul thoughts
were advanced bv the iair ones
on man as a whole, yet they
were counted out on points.
The Bloomers put up talr ex-
hibition OF ball playing and while
making a bad start, succeeded IN
tying II up pretty close at the
finish. Considering the fact that
the home team has had no practice
since July and that old players
were substituted by new ones, their
game was as good as could he
expected.
