ORDWAYS, z; INDIANS, o

"Ring the bell softly-there's crepe
on the door," That's what they are
singing over In Rocky Ford since the
Ordway base ball team delivered that
awful drubbing to the Indians at that
place last Sunday. And yet the Rocky
Forders see little sunshine In the
gloom, for they consider that at last
they have in a measure squared things
for the severe frost the band from
their town suffered when it tattempted
to give band concert at the Crowley
cOunty-seat on the night Of the clcc.
tion last spring.
Last Sunday was an ideal day for
game, and as II consequence big
gang OF rooters accompanied the team
over to see them trim the Indians.
The attendance was not large, nearly
half of "those present" being from
this town. When the financial man
went around to collect, the magniti-
cent sum OF SS was realized, about half
OF IL being contributed by the boys
from Ordway. As sport and free
spcnder, Hetty Green. has the Rocky
Forders backed Off the board and they
would make miser look like spend
thrift. How such gang could 20 out
and see fast game and then throw in
about four bones gets past us.
| The game was good one all the way
through. The Ordway boys had their
Opponents outclasscd and outplayed
all the way through. and only for the
fact that the day was SO hot and they
got tired chasing around the bases the
score on their side would have been
larger. The list OF casualties was as
| follows:

In New Quarters

ing and is now comfortably established
and ready for trade. This store for
the past two years and a half has oc-
cupicd part OF the New Era's Office
room, but growing business demanded
larger quarters. These were secured
in the Miller building as soon as its
erection was decided upon, and now
the proprietor, NJ. A. Rhodes. has
about the niftiest little place In town.
Go and see him. He will treat you
right.

Base Ball Bits

We want to call your particular at
tcntion to the fact that the Ordway
team is playing some ball these days
and doing the mig maturity of 1t with
strictly homegrown material, too.
The changes in the base ball park
are now completed and the next game
will be played ''inside the fence" and
the deadheads will have to dig up or
not see the game. All OF which is
good stuff.
Rossen, the Haswell dummy. has
signed up with the Dcs MOnes team
and is now playing In the Western
league. He was tried out in Pueblo
last week and pitched nine inning
game in which he demonstrated his
ability as Il twirler to the satisfaction
of the Dcs Moines manager.
The experience of our team at Rocky
Ford serves to show that there Is only
one way to play base ball-and that is
to fence the grounds and keep out the
mudheads who will go to forty games
in row and never dig up cent. II
a man isn't sport enough to pay to see
eighteen men work under hot sun for
two mortal hours for his amusement,
he ought to be kept where he belongs
on the outside OF the fence. HE
never would be missed"
The game next Sunday will be with
the La Junta Boosters, who have Il
reputation for playing real ball, and
every body ought to turn out and see
what promises to be about the best
game OF the season. The Ordways are
playing winning ball right along now
and the boys should be encouraged to
keep up their gait. Go out and see
the game and the new improvements
