The Abilene baseball team broke
the long suspended spell Of defeat
yesterday when 1t walloped Clay
Center in a fast game of ball by the
score Of 8 to 1. Abilene had Clay
Center out cIassed in every thing
with the exception Of bone head
work.
The Clay Center crew led off at bat
and Gramley through a hard effort
and an error gained third. Parks
then signaled for squeeze play. Will
liams wound up and placed a pretty
one right over the pan which Parks
hunted, Gramley tore up the earth
for home, and Parks did Likewise Tor
first. After the dust had risen Gram
ley was peacefully taking a drink and
Parks was safe and stood smiling at
first. That was all that Clay Gen.
ter could terminate during the game
as Abllene's fielding work and Will
liams excellent pitching formed a
blockade.
Abilene did get men on second
and third several times but could not
get them to count a run until tne
eighth.
The eighth was the glorious inn
ing of them all as 1t dragged Abilene
out of It's dungeon Of defeat and gave
It new start to reach the top notch
Of the ladder Of victory. 1t was this
way, williams was the first to step
to the pan. He carefully looked the
pitcher over. waited for a good strike
and biffed the minute globular horse
hide over the center fIelder's head
for a three Dagger which would have
otherwise been a home run, had
not the traitorous alfalfa detaineu
n on its far distant journey. This
started the fire works for Abilene
and as Clay Center was a visiting
team Il thought II would hardly be
iustiflabIe for 1t not to help the
snort along 30 It took a balloon as

squeeze play but alas, the ehas-

THE NATIONAL STOCK SHOW.
Prospects for the Greatest Show Ever
Held In the West.

Entries for the National Stock
Show at Denver close this week on
everything but carloads and entries
already indicate the greatest show
ever held in the West. There will he
horses from Canada. from Ohio, from
Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas and
most of the western states. Among
the prominent herds Of cattle coming
are the Shorthorn herds of Carpen-
ter & Ross of Mansfield. Ohio;
Thomas johnson & Son OF Columbus,
Ohio; C. E. Clark of Minnesota;
Frank Harding of Wisconsin; The
Elmendorf Farm of Kentucky; w. j.
Miller of Iowa; A. G. Binnie of Iowa;
]. E. Bales & Son of Iowa, and many
others, all the beef breeds being rep
resented by the best in the country
There will be sheep from all over the
United States and Canada, all of the
breeds being represented.
1t is expected that the car load cx-
hibit of feeder cattle will be the great
est ever held and big feeder buyers
are coming from all parts of the coun-
try to purchase the prize winners.
The business end of the Denver
show always attracts considerable at
tention. The stockmen from the
west bring their choice cattle and
sheep to the show and sell them at
fancy prices and the big breeders Of
the east bring their cattle, sheep and
horses here and sell the best of them
to the western men. This is where
the show is doing a great work. 1t
is placing within the reach of the
western breeders the best the country
has in live stock and within a very
few years the western men will be
winning the premiums and the east
ern man will be pretty well out OF it.
The railroads are making very rea-
sonable rates through the West for
the week of the show. In Colorado
half rate will prevail while in New
Mexico, Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Wyom-
ing and Montana, the rate will be
fare plus 50 for the round trip. This
will bring in great number OF stock
men and with the stock show and con-
ventions, Denver will be busy place
during the week of January Sis. With
the new buildings being erected and
the magnificent big pavilion COM
pleted last year, the show will be in
shape to take care of the crowds COM
fortably no matter what the weather
may be, but there is usually good
weather at that time OF the year.
