Yerington times. [volume] (Yerington, Nev.) 1907-1932, 1908-09-26
OUR RENO Letter

past week as we have seen many of YOUR
citizens here. Everyone can take few
weeks rest and then look out for some
thing doing.
Mrs. Whitman and Miss Mildred we're
at the Riverside Friday, having just re-
turned from an enjoyable outing at Lake
| Tahoe. They Left Saturday morning for
Yerington.
Mayor Judson c. R. Smith arrived in
Reno Sunday evening in an auto and
was looking smiling and happy. His
duties as Mayor do not seem to weigh
heavily enough to make him lose weight.
Isaac Strosnider was having a good
time with his friends here on Friday
and Saturday last. Nothing seems to
worry him just at present.
Mrs. ]. w. Simpson and her son were
on the train Saturday night on their way
home. Luckily for her husband she had
not seen the copy of the Times telling of
the late hours he was keeping during her
absence.
AL Requa has been in Reno several
days figuring with parties here on the
location and development of some oil
lands in Lyon county.
Elmer Hanson returned from Lake
Tahoe in time to see the ball game here
Sunday aud returned to Yerington with
the players.
A. Lichtcnstein and w. Mckenzie
were registered at the Golden Sunday.
They were here to cheer the baseball
players and do what they could to ad-
vertise Yerington.
II ever a place got well advertised it
was Yerington when our baseball team
saw the sights of this city and demon
strated that they could play ball in fast
company. No one here would believe that
our boys could even keep the crack Reno
nine warm and about $50 people went
out to Moana to have some fun with the
farmers from Yerington. AS an example
of the change of opinion will just say
that after the fourth inning Reno men
bet over two hundred dollars on Yering-
ton, and after the umpire gave us Tie
worst OF it couple of times the entire
audience rooted for and encouraged the
Yerington nine and were disappointed
| when the throw from the field that lost
us the game was made, and 1t was then
just dark enough so that it was hard to
see low ball. 1t was great game and
a clean one as far as the players were
concerned. both mines playing ball all
the time and there was no wrangling.
The score by innings was as follows:
Reno. 0 / 0 l 0 / 0 10
Yerington 40 0 0 3 0 0 2 0 0-S
Johnson, for Yerington, struck out
men, while Rossi, for Reno, struck out
s. The Yerington players who came
we're: Messrs. Frank Barnett, F. Jen-
nette, c. r. Boulden. Roy Cortell, w.
c. Johnson, Lem Cobb, George West,
c. A. Brown, Andy West, Mason Nc
Leod and Barney Little. Andy West at
short was easily the star OF the game,
accepting every chance without an error
and hitting opportunely. Jennette was
surprise behind the bat and allowed
nothing to get past him. Johnson was
never ratified and had their batters guess
| ing all the time. The Reno boys are a
very gentlemanly bunch and we certainly
have no kick on them. When they visit
Yerington hope that they will all be
treated so we'll that they will want to
stay with us for good. Having heard
nothing to the contrary presume all the
boys got home safely Monday morning,
and are now practicing for the return
game one week from next Sunday.

dull loafing around, yet there are many
things happening to amuse and enter
