aroused by 1t. Death came 30 sudden

TWIN LAKES IDEAL
FOR SUMNER OUTING

One of the prettiest spots in all
America Is the region about Twin
Lakes, Colorado.
The two lakes, each from two to
three miles in length occupy a little
pocket in the mountains surrounded
by peaks higher than Pixies Peak.
The mountain sides are as green as a
New England range and the peaks
show snow the year around.
The lakes and mountain streams
are ideal, and the whole situation IL
one for a painter or a poet.
However. plain, ordinary citizen
can have a mighty good time there
for a few days or weeks.
Twin Lakes has one of he best
mountain resort hotels in Colorado.
1t is Hotel Campion. This was for
merly the summer home of John F.
Campion, the millionaire miner.
bought at a cost OF over $60, 900. 1t oc-
cupies a scenic point between the
two lakes with an outlook that is
simply superb. 1t Is handsomely fur
nished, in fact it has the same fur
niture and decorations put in by Mr..
Campion.
The lakes and streams are said to
abound in fish and some big record
catches have been made. especially
20 the big trout weighing up to 20
and % pounds each.
Twin Lakes is convenient for Can
on City people and certainly offers a
pleasant retreat for people here who
want to get up into the mountains in
the summer time.
One can leave Canon City on Rio
Grande No. 1, get off at Granite, drive
across seven miles of fine mountain
road and be at the Hotel Campion
for dinner.

The schedule for the new series is
as follows:
Christians VS.. Baptists Monday and
Wednesday, July -, and 14th.
Presbyterians vs.. Methodists Tues
day and Thursday, July 18th and 18th.
intermediate Ca vs.. d. Friday the
18th and B. VS.. c. Saturday, 18th.

intermediate B. VS.. C. Saturday July
gath.
It is hoped that superintendents,
teachers, and pupils Of the various
schools will take hold Of the matter
with new enthusiasm. Each team
has an opportunity to win in this Sec
ond series. The organization that
has been best backed by the entire
school which they represented, won
the pennant in thefirst series. The
Christian Tigers have had more sup
port from their school than any 9TH
er team on the field. The superin-
tenden has not missed but one or
two of the eleven games they have
PLAYED. Superintendents of the d.
partments, teachrs, offers, and the
pastor as we'll as the pupils have
stood back of their team. This they
have done for the betterment of their
school. They say they have been ben
efitted thereby. We predict that If
the support from the other schools
Is as poor during the next series as
1t has been during the past, the re-
suit will be very similar and the
Christians will have two banners to
hang in their church Indicative of the
fact that they have a school spirit.
Five hundred schedules Of the games
for the next two weeks are now
printed and will be distributed. There
is no reason why YOU can not know
exactly when your team plays and be
present once in a while to encourage
the boys in clean sport. This effort
is for the Sunday schools. 1t is not
a Y. NJ. c. A. organization. The en-
ployed officers OF the Y. NJ. C. A. are
spending quite a bit OF Association
time endeavoring to promote 1t for
the good of the Sunday schools. They
might run a commercial league in a
different way and limit 1t to associa-
ton members. Instead of this. an ef-
fort has been made to make athletics
of some benefit to the Sunday schools.
Will the schools that have represen-
tatives in the league aid in the un-
dertaking by rallying to their team
during this last series? The time of
the games is $50 and the place the
high school grounds.

CHRISTIANS WIN PENNANT
m SERIES OF GAMES
Thursday Game.

In we'll played game Of base ball
the Methodist Cubs were again de-
feated by their old rivals, the Christ
ian Tigers, by a score OF 8 to last
evening. The grounds were somewhat
muddy which aided in making the
game rather slow. Great enthucasm
was manifested by the supporters OF
either side, and for the first time IN
the history of the Canon City 8. s.
A. l.. a magaphone was on the
grounds. AS usual the Christians had
the largest number of rooters present.
The teams from the larger schools
are in constant wonderment as to
why their teachers, officers and
classmates do not turn out according
1y to support them in their efforts.
Fridays Game.
The Presbyterians crossed bats
with the Baptists again last evening
and won the game by a score of 10
to s. Because of the teams not hav-
ing out nine men it was necessary
for several from the Cubs and Tigers
to play with them. The game OF
last evening finishes the first series
which is won by large majority by
the Christian Tigers. They receive
the penant for this series.
The standing of the te ans to date
is as follows:
