The Denver Times had a woman
"do' the Chamber of Commerce day
Saturday. Here is some of it:
Taking backward look over the
grandstand at Broadway park yester-
day afternoon-and one did take a look
back there often in spite of the inter
esting exhibition of the national pas
time out in front of the Sandstone
was struck with the certainty that Dem
yer is rapidly developing into a base
ball town where women patronize the
games. Now don't think that the wo-
men crowded the husky masculine fans
to any marked extent, for they proba-
bly, never will do that in any city. but
they formed a big percentage Of that
cosmopolitan gathering.
Some of the women were interesting
looking and some of them odd. When
the sprinkle Of rain started-for that
rain hoodoo chung to the Chamber of
Commerce venture, the big-hatted be-
plumed sections Of the box occupants
moved as one woman to remain stand
ing throughout the greater part of the
game at the back of the stand, but fol-
on the diamond.
Some of them looked as if they
wanted to run or cry when the demon
stration was made against the jumps
after he chased Manager Hendricks to
the club house, but when nothing came
of it but just large volume of Kissing
and wise talk directed toward the one
unfortunate man in a blue serge suit,
they decided it wasn't worth getting
scared over.
You can tell the newcomers at a ball
game. The women not accustomed to
coming into the bedlam of noise and
good humored raillery that assails her
ears when she passes the revolving
gate, smiles in wondering interest as
she stands at the top of the tier upon
tier of seats and looks down upon the
sea of heads in front of her.
The longer you sit, the harder they
git, cushions, five cents" bawls ven
der into her ear and she starts and
grins her appreciation of his humor
with the result that the vender imme-
diately rents cushion.
Rasty Wright seems to be fulfilling
his promises of becoming a real twirler
this season. He went Is innings against
Rip Hagerman yesterday but is cred
tied with losing his own game in the
ninth when he allowed the score to be
tied. Cockman and Dundon hit for eX-
tras in the thirteenth, putting the game
away.
The Grizzly Bears ran wild on Haw-
kins, taking seven bases for nothing
while the Kaw braves seemed unable
to take anything on Shorty McMur-
ray.
It was fine batting for Hawkins,
Ihomason and Whitney, each getting
three safe ones in four times at the
plate. Hopke had two in three.
Lincoln Star: Wo1verton's nice record
mas attracted attention. Scout Ban
non OF the Kansas City Blues, a team
saoly In need Of high class twirlers, is
In Lincoln and will take a long look
at Jake The Lincoln staff has too
many slab artists and one must be dis
posed OF but it will not be Jake unless
Danny Shay piles up such a COB of
the hlthy lucre that Despair cannot
resist the lure. Hard luck in drawing
rain instead Of crowds this year has
rather depleted the Antelope treasury
son.
Somebody must be trying to sell
somebody.
