Douglas and Ell Paso Play a
II Inning Tie Game at
Washington Park.

The shades of night were falling fast
when "Ducky" Gowan. the umpire.
having visions of a downy couch, called
the game at Washington park Saturday
afternoon at the end of the 18th inning.
The score stood for FL Paso and for
Douglas.
Oh, but it was a glorious contest, one
that set the red blood of the Ell Paso
fans to running like the water In the
Rio Grande runs not at this season or
the year. But five swats were secured
by the Mavericks in the II innings that
they faced the veteran Sorrels, and his
faultless support made the contest
most interesting one from start to fin
ish
For II innings Olmstead was on the
rubber for the locals and he acquitted
himself most creditably. Then Ables,
the southpaw. went in for the MAYS,
and he put them over the pan so fast
that the Shelter City bunch could not
connect with the speedy ms and outs
and everything else that the big fellow
slipped them.
L Ell Paso made many errors, six were
chalked up against the local boys but
for all that, the game proved fast and
furious and three times the locals made
double plays.
t vi ~ innings DOIn Sl0eS tried WITH
might and main to cross the plate, but
all to no avail, and the fans stretched
and looked at the lowering clouds,
wondering how long the contest would
last

who went in to bat for Olmstead, and
the big fellow got free pass Flick
famed. Gray was on to his job, and
when Jackson hit safe to center he
made third in jig time. Jackson went
to second on the throw in. Then Har-
per passed one and Gray crossed the
pan with the first run for the locals,
while a cheer went up from the grand
stand Graham sacrificed and speedy
Jack, running like a race horse, crossed
the plate with the Ifeing run The
grandstand went wild. Jones was hit
by the pitcher and took first, but was
caught trying to steal second and the
scoring was over.
Ables went in to pitch for the locals
and he seemed to have more speed than
ever, shutting out the Dons. Sorrels
did the same for Douglas and the game
was called.
1t was d game well worth the see
ing and the fans fingered long after
the final inning, hoping that the game
would continue, but an agreement had
been made that it would be called in
the 18th. Then both sides scored and
it was decided to go another inning, but
the last round was of no avail. The
