DURANGO THE WINN Err.

IN lhc llfSt game ol the series, also
Of the season, with Manager Sharp
less Aztees here yesterday, under
azure skies, with breath of wind
blowing, just enough to temper the
suns rays, the locals showed their
mastery Of the Indians, to A. That's
the story in brief of the contest.
To turn this noteworthy trick, the
locals were forced to do all in their
power to knock the spots off one said
liildebrand. They did this little thing
in approved fashion under pressure Of
eight loud and timely wallops. STAN
ley was the boy with the big stick,
getting three hits out of four times
at bat; one of the three being two
bagger. Carbis also tilted one for
three stations that was pippin.
Manager Sharpless finally yanked Hill
debrand, sending Godfrey, Durango
boy, in to stop the heavy artillery.
Lest ye fans think he didn't pitch
some, be it recorded that only nine
men faced him in three innings. He
whitfield only one, was given magniii-
cent support and went through the
melee on the bit.
The errors chalked up against each
team aided in the run getting and
as far as the pitchers were concerned
it was the prettiest kind of duel.
Durango by punching her hits in the
third and fourth got the edge on the
Indians. About every kind of play
figured in the scoring.
The Indians were blanked in No. /,
started the scoring in the second by
getting two men across the plate. Five
big, nice o's were all they were able
to record in that number of innings.
IT. the eighth they scored two more,
had the bases full when the only
double play Of the game was made.
The batter sent u hot skipper to
Grady at short, who whipped it to
Carbis, who in turn heaved it to
Buchanan on third, thereby retiring
the side. In the ninth it was one,
two, three and--out.
The locals were forced to be con-
tent with two nice goose eggs in the
first two sessions. In the third they
secured two highly priced scores.
Again in the fourth, by clouting the
horsehide, scored three men. 1t be-
gan to look as If funeral music was
in order for the Indians, but by ex-
ceptionally good work it was prompt
ly declared out of order and canned
for future occasions. For the remain
der Of the game there was nothing do
ing in the scoring line.
Every spring and summer there Is
a great cry about there not being any
entertainment for the people. Mean
while the ball team struggles along
trying, always willing, to furnish the
public in the manner in which it wants
to be entertained, and at the time it
wants its entertainment, with scant
attendance at the games. Week after
week of the most perfect weather is
to come. Get baseball fever and pack
the stands and bleachers-don't wait
until about the first Of October, when
the snow begins to fly and then won
der why Durango never had any ball
team-it takes money to pay expenses
Of visiting teams-and it will only
cost you 35 cents to see some of the
classiest baseball played anywhere.
Just TO convice you glance at the fol-
lowing: Pittsburg New York, time Of
game 2 hours; Cincinnati-C Cleveland,
1857; in fact pick up any paper and
glance at the time it takes to play
a game in the major leagues and then
compare it with the time made by
our local team and see for yourself IL
they are not worthy of your support.
But they can't furnish this article Of
ball ON AIR.
Tomorrow the two same teams will
play at the fair grounds.
The score ofyesterday's game is as
follows:
