MINERS LOSE NUMBER ONE.

In a pitchers battle between Par
sons and Mitchell, the Gilpin Mines
boys took the short end Of hard
fought, ten-inning game at the City
park Tuesday afternoon. The game
was the best witnessed on the local
grounds in years, and, although com
ing out of the struggle with one lone
tally. made in the first inning, the
boys did fine, considering that this
was the first game the Miners had
played this season.
The Mines lone tally came in, the
first inning after which Mr.. Mitchell
made them whiff at nothingness for
the remaining nine innings. He held
the boys safe at all times after the
initial inning. Twelve of the mighty
sluggers of the Mines team fell VIC
Tins to the curves of the gentleman
who did the heaving for the Idaho
team.
idaho Springs scored her first run
in the third, after which "Pugg" Par
sons held them safe until the tenth,
when three punched hits netted Ida
no Springs one run and the game.
Parsons made ten Of the willow
wielders of the Springs team fan the
breezes, and not one Of the visitors
time to first base, unless he happen
ed to get in the road of one Of the
Central lads famous "fade-aways."
The park has been placed in first
class shape and from now on good
base ball will be given the fans, pro-
viding, of course. you will dig up"
sufficient each Sunday to meet the
expenses Of the visiting team. No
base ball team can hold out without
the support OF those who like the
game. II you come through by pat
ronizing the grandstand, or by drop
ping something in the hat when 1t is
passed, you will be treated to good
base ball during the summer months.
A return game will probably be ar
ranged with Idaho. to be played in
Central on June II, and after the
article of ball they put up Tuesday,
should prove good drawing card.
Neil Mckay has finally consent
ed to manage the team, and under
his management you are assured OF
classy base ball this, summer, with
the one proviso. however, that you
lend your financial support. 1t is not
known at this writing who has been
engaged to play the home team Sun
day.

gives the wearer the look of being

This is especially true when there
are small pockets and a cape collar.
Some of the coats that are within
three inches OF touching the hip line
have satin collars that cover the
shoulders and the bust. It would be
far better to make a bodice out of
the coat and not attempt a suit.

MAKES HANDY PICNIC OUTFIT
Girl Contrives Compact and Easily
Carried Affair Out OF Chiid's
School Bag.

One Of the most compact and easily
carried picnic outfits ever devised has
been assembled by a girl who strongly
objects to be numbered with a box or
a tea basket. A child's leather school
bag has been divided by means of can
vas leaves, stitched against the three
closed sides of the receptacle into
three compartments.
In one fits a collapsible chatting dish
and lamp of nickel or copper; into an
other a set of hemstitched paper table
cloth. napkins and doilies, and into a
third a morocco grained envelope
holding a dozen or more fatty folded
sanitary drinking cups trimmed with
fine wire and fitted with wire han
dies.
This leather bag has such substan.
tial handles that it may safely be
swung from the back of a vehicle, but
it is also SO light and wieldly that 1t
may be comfortably held up on the
lap or showed into any convenient cor
ner. And when the cups and table
furnishings have been used and
thrown away the remainder of the out
fit will go into the pocket Of Il ul-
Ster.

EIoWered UnderWear.

One of the latest fads of the season
is the use of daintily sprigged and
flower cambrics for underwear. This,
OF course, is merely a passing whim.
for there are too many women who
conservatively object to introducing
color into the scheme of the lingerie
Cor it to become a fixed fashion.
Those who have no prejudice in this
regard and who jump at anything
new are choosing early Victorian de-
signs in soft. pale colorings which
wash well and keep their tints. There
are besides embroidered cambrics and
lawns anG dotted swisses which are
put to the same purposes as well as
figured muslins. All of these GER
tainly have a dainty and very sum-
ner-like appearance when neatly and
hecomingly made.
