.SHOSHONE Wins FIRST GAME
Shoshone z, Richfield 6, Result of Open
ing Game of Base Ball Season

Atkins will make the most of, but we
can use two or three fast men to bolster
up the weak spots and now have our
lines out with view to getting fast
ones here for the season. If Shoshone
viii stand by the team, we will show
our neighbors how the game is played. F"
Miner is the next nine our warriors
win line up against and following that
game will be one with Mountain Home.
BY hard practice the boys expect to
win both games.
Gooding will bring their team here
Sunday to cross bats with the home
team, and our boys are confident they
will go home with the little end of the
score. Then comes bout with Miner,
followed by a game with Mountain
Home.
AS starter for the funds to be
raised for baseball the committee have
arranged to bring Breach's orchestra
here for May y. This organization
has been increasingly popular over
the state this year, and music lovers
of Shoshone will be given treat of
harmony for an hour and half on that
evening, followed by social dance for
those present. The event promises
to be so attractive as to assure a liberal
patronage.
Shoshone turned out en- mass at the
Sunday game and the feeling prevails
that the team must be backed up to
the limit.

Decoration Services.

Memorial and decoration services
will be properly observed in Shoshone
this year as usual The general COM
mittee consists of Jud j. L. Fuller,
Alex. Morrison, and R. d. Crothers.
The musical part of the program has
been placed with Rev. w. J. Barger.
These names are a guarantee of ex-
ceptionally good program as they have
been connected with this line of work
in the many years that have passed.
Every citizen of Shoshone should take
a live and active interest in these SER
vices and make them better and more
attractive each year. 1t will not be
many years that the boys in blue will
be with US to take part in these mem
orial and decoration exercises and
while we have them in our midst they
should be made to realize that their
services in the past are being appreci-
ated and that their deeds of heroism IN
saving the Union are cherished and
that their names are held IL ven
Grafton. One by one the heroes OF
the Civil war are passing from the
stage of action and the years are now
few till the last ore will have passed
to his reward Many have gone to (
ioin their comrades where war alarms ,
are never heard and the war drum
never beats. {

Richfield and its ball team invaded
Shoshone on Sunday last in crowd a
hundred strong, but they went home
hoping to do better next time. The
Shoshone tossers we're too much for
the visitors holding them to shut-out
until the eigth inning when a base on
balls, an error and two hits netted
them four runs. Richfeld again
threatened in the ninth when Sam
Foster belted one deep center with two
men on bases, scoring two.
Jack Atkins at first base played an
errorless game for Shoshcne, while
Walter Gwin at short t-stop played phen-
omenal ball for youngster. Swope
was steady as rock behind the bat.
and Mike Morton pitched gilt-edged
ball to him right up to the closing in
nings when an error behind him put
him cup in the air - The final score
was to 6, but should have been a
shut-out as the six runs were gifts to
the visitors.
At meeting of the team and the
fans on Monday, Jack Atkins was
elected captain of the team and Jerre
Purdum chosen for manager. These
two men make combination that will
get together winning team for US, as
both have the experince backed by an
aptitude for making things happen.
When interviewed today, Manager
Purdun said ''Our team has some first

ALAsKA-YUKON EXPOSITION NOTES
Magnificent Stadium Will be Fin
ished Before Opening

Seattle, Wash, May 5. The Stadium
of the Alaska Y ukon- Pacific Exposition
viii comfortably afford seating capacity
! for twenty thousand spectators, and
every seat will command an unobstru-
cted view of the track, two base ball
diamonds and foot ball field 1t is built
on the edge of the Lake Washington,
and from the grand stands many of the
larger aquatic events may be viewed
Across the lake the snow covered peaks
of the Cascades, Mount Rainer and
Olympics are close at hand, and supply
noble back ground.
The Stadium track is of the new
spiral type; it is oval in form and scales
four laps to the mile. 1t contains
straight away of 220 yards and
both tracks are as fast as can
be made Two base ball diamonds are
laid out in the center, and the football
field is placed between the grand stands.
In the track construction, the follow
ing course was followed; after excava-
ting, six inches of course gravel was
laid and this was heavily rolled; on top
cf this is laid a covering of fine gravel
of the same depth and this is crushed
into place with fifteen ton rollers. The
top dressing is of cinders. six inches
deep and rolled in thin layers.
The tracks are thoroughly drained by
tile and a fast course is always in
sured while heavy going is obviated-
Sprinkling apparatus has been installed,
and during all weather dust will be
avoided. The long distance of the oval
is from north to south and the site is
ideal.
The grand stands are two in num-
Der and built IN the east and west side
of the oval. In dimensions they are
360x70 feet. The entrances are made
direct from the bottom of each aisle,
which prevents any congestion in exit
or admittance. Both buildings are fit
ted with row of stage boxes having
seating capacity of from four to eight
people The height at which the
seats are placed permits of sufficient
rise to insure uninterrupted view from
every position, and in overcoming the
fifteen inch difference between seat
platforms, two short stops are used
Particular attention has been given to
view point, and the sight lines are ideal
All aisles give away on the oval. and
between the grand stands and the track
an open space of sixteen feet has been
reserved for entrance and exit
The dressing rooms, baths, and toilet
rooms for contestants>and rooms for
the public are provided for beneath the
grand stands, and are fitted with all
conyeniences.
All entrances of stadium contestants
will be made directly into the oval from
the central arch of the grand stands.
and in this regard will closely follow
the old Roman method. BY this system
an unusually effective and desirable
end is accomplished, and does away
with the scattered and struggling ap-
generally observed.
The Stadium and tracks are designed
by Mr.. Louis Beader, assistant director
of works, and the work of construction
is being carried out under his personal
All work on the Stadium
will be completed by the middle of May
and on the first of June when the ex-
position is opened to the public, the

WILL GO AFTER HIS ELK SOON
Alpha kinsey Will Leave for Jack
son Hole Country Next Month

Mr.. and Mrs Alpha Kinsey have been
spending week in Shoshone and while
here succeeded in getting some young
animals for their park in the Devil S
Corral. They went out the first of the
week locking for stray horse and cap
tured eight young coyotes which they
will take back with them to the Corral,
preserving them as part of their
managerie.
About the first of June Mr.. Kinsey
will go to the Jackson Hole country in
Wyoming to secure his pair of elk
which he has purchased of j. j. Carter,
the elk dealer who resides there. Mr..
Carter has offered to show him in one
view herd of 20, 600 elks and if the
number falls short in the least, he offers
to pay Mr. Kinsey's expenses both
ways. This might look like an attempt
at romancing, but when the facts are
considered, it is not so much of a
romance. The state of Wyoming is
feeding and caring for these elks and
it is quite likely that twenty to thirty
thousand of them can be seen now at
one time, from proper view point.
Mr. Kinsey states that notwithstand-
ing the care and protection taken by
the state of Wyoming to maintain this
herd of elk intact, that many of them
died of starvation. 1t might be menti-
oned in connection with this that Harry
Kinsey who is a joint owner with his
brother in this magnificent park, is now
in Ogden, Utah, where he is making
for securing and having de-
livered 200, 900 trout fry for their park
lake. The road leading in and out of
the canyon to the park is now about (
and in a very short time
will be fully so. This road connects the
river road on the north side directly
with the park and also with ali roads
on the north side of the tract Hereto +
fore it has been very difficult to get
access to the park owing to the steep
ness of the canyon walls, bnt with the
completion of the road, this difficulty
will be removed and access viii be COM
easy.

was effected at meeting held at the

ago a joint association for Newport
news and Hampton was formed by
alumni of the Virginia Military lnsti'
tu,e. but for various reasons it was
decided that separate organizations
would be more desirable. One OF the
reasons, and probably the chief OF
ahem, is the fact that each alumni
association is entitled 10 an institute
scholarship, and to combine the New.
port News and Hampton alumni would
mean that only one sch olarship would
come to the lower Peninsula.

ing to order last night, and Col Z. W.

tary. Permanent officers were
chosen aS follows:
