BIGGEST SERIES EVER

age of the team Brugge, the clever
short stop, played a star game this
year for Denver University during
the college season and was easily one
of their best men. Hogart and
Cherry. their other college men are
from Colorado College and were
mem bers of this years championship
team. Both are good stick men.
Glenwood undoubtedly has the best
lineup they ever had but with all
this they haven't any license to beat
Grand junction. Toner is the best
Independent pitcher in the state and
many who would have been inclined
to dispute this statement at the first
of the season are beginning to see it
in a true light succeeding his remark
able performances during the past
string of games which have resulted
in giving Grand Junction a record of
/ 8 won out of II games. Toner'S
worth comes not only from his arm
work but his splendid fielding of
scratch hits and bunts. and his bat
ting. AS a stick man he has hardly
three superiors on the junction
lineup.
Goldsworthy's work is too well
known to need elaboration. He is
always consistent player. he never
plays the star game and never was
known to play poor game. His
headwork is probably the best of any
man on the team and ever since he
has played in a Grand Junction uni
form he has headed the batting list.
There is nothing quite so satisfying
to the Grand Junction fans as to see
Goldy come up TO bat in close game
with man on third AS a catcher
his only drawback is his whip to sec
h iOh ic haf m 10
ent time than at the first of the sea
son.
Moorehead is another valuable
man not only from his reliable field
ing but from his ability to hit He
has had more home runs since his
engagement with Grand Junction
than any other man on the squad and
yet he doesn't have to be classed as a
slugger for his batting is steady
Sweet on first is good man but
his best position is behind the bat He
came here from Cripple Creek. where
he played this position on the cham
pion Cripple Greek state league team
This is enough recommendation of
his back-srop ability. Joe Connors
in left field has made more sensa-
ton field plays and hard and sue
cessful trys than any other man who
has played this season with or against
Grand junction. Dukette on second
was a good find. He has all of the
dependability of Weybreight, the last
years second sacker and had him
shaded for batting. In the last game
with the Star-Journals he hit three
times out of four times up. He also
has good headwork and keeps the
team in good humor and pep"
Shorty Mcneil. on third, from the
first won home with the Grand
Junction fans and he is by all odds
the best third base man Grand juno
tion ever had and so far this season
has had 1t over any man he has ever
played against. Dow's best asset is
his base running. He is sure of
fly in right field but is somewhat
below the average in the batting box
but If he ever gets on a base, look
out, for he is going TO score. Seldom
a game goes by that he don't get a
stolen base or two.
The ninth man of the team this
year. who has done as much as any
other to win for Grand junction her |
laurels is Lawrence, the infallible
and heady shortstop. On two differ
ent occasions this year it has been
his good work with the bat which has |
won the game. He is one of the |
speediest players in the West.
Spomberg, the new pitcher, has
played but a few games with Grand |
Junction, suffering from a sprained |
