fruit raiser OF fourteen years ex-
perience in this section. who owns
a so acre orchard FIVE miles
southwest. of Paonia. says: The
fruit is only slightly damaged +,
and there are plenty of buds to
make a much larger crop than
we marketed last year. The
damage is conhoed largely to a
very few of the orchards lying
on the lands near the river level.
Orchards on the mesas will have
to be thinned as usual to get the
best results have examined
and am familiar with the condi-
tions for a distance of eight miles
extending out onto the Rogers
mesa"
John w. Daley. FIVE miles west
OF town. says that while many
buds were killed IN the last freeze.
the trees are still heavily loaded
with live blossoms and that there
will undoubtedly be large crop
of peaches. His observation is
that the damage is greater on the
low lands than on the mesas. bu,
that the low lands trees will be
heavily loaded with fruit. Mr.
Daley brought in yesterday a
bunch OF blossoms from the Burk.
art ranch. and OF the number oi
buds examined only two were
dead.
Mr.. Burkart thinks he will have
a largar crop than las year
Another feature which wall help
to swell the total crop above last
year is the number OF new trees
coming into bearing this season.
and hundreds OF trees which last
year bore only partial crops. with
an added year to the age. will this
season produce larger crops.
Altogether, there is no reason
why this should not be the most
prosperous year in the histoty OF
Paonia and the Paonia fruit belt
as a whole. This year will spread
her reputatian wider and more
firmly establish this little city as

Hotchkiss VS. Paonia
Was Humdinger Game

The baseball fever has taken
Paonia on the hip. and we think
the Apple Pickers can put it on
to almost anything in these dig
gings when it cones to dallying
with the great American sphere.
1t may be that handling such i'm
mense quantities of apples makes
them deft in the use OF the base
ball and keeps them in practice
and fine physical condition the
entire year, which of course would
give them shade the advantage
OF an other section of the Western
Slope. Notwithstanding that they
showed Hotchkiss last Sunday
that they were badly outclassed.
they are still willing that Hotch-
kiss should CONG " occasionally
and practice viz !. am and pick
up few OF the hne points of the
game.
Its a shame to publish the
score. but our duty to the public
as purveyors of the news impels
US to the disagreeable task.
There may be some comment
on the fact that Paonia was COM
PEELED to put in two or three sub
stitutes during the progress of
the game. but that is explained
by the fact that several of oui
players exhausted themselves
running bases After making 81
runs IN the second inning they
positively refused to 60 any
further, the point being raised
that they had not signed up for a
full distance Marathon. but to
play bast ball
There were no special features
OF the game with the exception OF
the spectacular home run by Rule
of Paonia. Paonia made two ,
base hits and one 3-base hit.
Hotchkiss made two phase hits.
Time OF game: All afternoon; at
tendance. abou. half of Paonia.

Paonia District Escaped
Serious Frost Damage

The scare about a possible
peach shortage this season IS past.
and there now seems no doubt
but that we will have big crop.
In a few isolated instances the
damage will hurt individual grow
crs, but taken as a whole the Pao-
MIA district came out ali right. and
will have a larger Number of cars
for the market this year than last.
and the problem in the end will
be labor for the picking and
packing
w. +. Taylor, of Taylor & Bird.
one day this week drove over the
mesas and gathered samples of
peach branches from a dozen diff
ferent ranches. which he brought
TO The Newspaper Office and were
eNamined and dissecied by many
critics. In no instance were there
as many as one halt of the buds
killed, and the average did not
appear more than fifteen or twenty
per cent. Tender young branches
four or FIVE inches long. which
could not successfully bear more
than one peach. would contain
from three TO six live buds
These were branches taken pro-
miscuously from trees in different
orchards without any selection.
with the sole object in view OF OBJ
tanning fair average OF condi-
tions upon which TO base an esti
mate OF the crop. II is the opin.
ion of those with experience here
tha, Paonia will ship more fruit
this year than any season within
her history. and peaches will be
as last year and year before. when
We shipped more peaches that all
the rest OF the state combined.
Among the many men whom
we have interviewed personally
and by phone VIC quote the toll
lowing. as nearly in their exact
language as possible. and all with
whom we have talked are as opti-
mistic and sanguine of big
peach crop as the samples we
submit. AS for the apple crop,
there has never been any question
of fear. as it was not far enough
advanced to suffer by anything
short of solid two-days' freeze.
Here's the way the ranchers gen
orally are talking:

Business Suspended
To See Ball Game

Can Paonia play ballr Well,
guess some. Paonia is just one
big ball team and a few umpires.
They play such a fast. perfect
game that when the town is di-
vined into two teams i, is difficult
to defeat either one.
OF course the East Side, having
more sunshine. good air and
butcher shops. has a shade the
best OF the playing ability. and
naturally won the game yester-
day. Despite our inherent mod
esty. we must limit this, even if
it was ".our side" And now. to
dope" up on the comparative
strength OF teams. if the Paonia
team could beat Hotchkiss 81 to
s. and the East side could beat
practically The same team to s,
where IS the team that can beat
the East Side? That's going
some tor a pipe dream
Yesterdays game was a fast
one and very close throughout.
You will probably not see mucl
better amateur game this season.
Each team scored one in the first
inning AT the end OF the fifth
the score stood s to in favor of
the West Side. In the eighth the
East Side made one run and tied
the score. In the ninth the West
Side had to be content with
goose egg. In the las, half OF
the ninth. with the score tied,
Shupe went out. Graham went to
second. Hammond went out, and
Dowdell came to bat and sent a
smashing fly through left field.
which brought in Graham and
ended the game.
While the West Siders pounded
Dowdell pretty hard in a couple
OF innings. his pitching and his
timely hit in the ninth were the
features of the game, and un-
doubiedly won for the East
Siders. There were many good
plays on both sides worthy of
special mention. but we were too
busy roofing for "our side" to
keep tab.
Every business house in the
town, banks, barber shops and all.
closed up and all hands went out
to root for their favorites. Fol-

GOTCH is UNBEATABLE.
Zbyszko Easily Beaten in Straight
FaIls-First in 6 IA Seconds-Giant
Pole Was Completely Used Up.

Chicago, June Frank Gotch of
Humboldt. Ia, tonight successfully de-
Tended his title as wrestling champion
of the world by easily defeating STAN
islaus Zbyszko. the Polish champion,
in straight falls at the Coliseum
Gotch outclassed his bulkier opponent
in every department of the game, after
winning the first fail in the prenom-
onds.. 1t was only a question of how
long the Pole could hold out against
the brilliant and varied attack of his
more skilled rival.
After the men shook hands GOtch
stepped back a bit and then made a
fierce flying tackle and before the Pole
realized what was happening his
shoulders were pinned to the mat. This
probably was the quickest fall ever
decided in a championship bout. 1t
was won by d bar arm and half nell
son.
1t was all over so quickly that Zbys-
zko apparently was daZed, and both he
and his manager, Jack Herman, pro
tested to Referee Dick Fleming, but
their protests were futile.
The Pole was more wary when they
came together again At no time was
Gotch in any danger, and when the
Pole would secure any advantage Gotch
would quickly break his hold and jump
to his feet. Gotch would foreStaI his
worse than hopeless for the Pole to at
tempt to assume the aggressive. At
the end of % minutes both men were
on their feet
Zbyszzo showed a flash of promise
when he forced Gotch to the mat by
sheer strength The American en-
deavored to extricate himself but he
was lifted in the air and slammed on
the mat again. In less than thirty
seconds Gotch broke the Poles hold
and both men We're back on their feet
ZbyszEo was again forced to take the
defensive and Gotch roughed him about
considerably. They rushed to the ropes
and suddenly the Pole appeared to
weaken A look of distress crossed his
face and he turned back to the
center of the ring he was seized in a
vise-like grip and in u few seconds
his shoulders were pinned TO the mai
with 4 bar earm and wrist lock This
fall was gained III q minutes Sc sec
ondS.
The champion at the conclusion of
tonigIt's match was borne from the
ring on the shoulders of a bowling
mob, while the defeated Pole with a
look of pain fon his face. was barely
able to <taeger down the ladder from

Mana ger Tommy Bannon and his
Middletown men caught Norwich with
a crippled nine and shifted lineup
on Wednesday afternoon at Sachem

victory, s to 1, that stood to the crtsl-

great game of talk with scrappy Tom

the limit as he saw his proteges step
ping into the league leadership over
the heads of Norwich.
1t was chilly football weather and
not the balrny kind needed for the
national game, so that only a handful
OF fans journeyed up to the park. On
the umpiring job, Mr.. Edgarton of
WlIIlnantic was seen for the first
time, doing fairly good work but

which would have counted Noonan.
The next two were infield outs. AS
before mentioned. Bill Boldt was do
ing some topline pitching, retiring Nor
witch in order in five of the nine inn

When the home team took the field
it was seen that the injury to catcher

checked Middletown's dangerous start.
