NO COURT HOUSE
FOR LAVINA
SUNDAYS BALL GAME At MARION
PARK DECIDES THE COURT
HOUSE NATTER.

Lavina's crack ball team went up
against the locals at Marion park last
Sunday and in an interesting game
met defeat.
Roundup's famous battery was Grip
pied by Nelson having bum nit, the
result of a previous game, and Kane
as catcher could not make good and
Lavina scored a run in the first in
ming and might have scored more runs
but Nelson came to the rescue, and
forgetting the crippled wing played
in old-time form.
The boys from the alleged county
seat got II hits while Roundup Sc
cured but eight. For lack Of space we
will not mention the errors.
Anyway, the score stood A at the
end Of the ninth and in Lavina's half
of the tenth it looked rather serious
for a few minutes but the thing ended
up all right with nothing doing in the
score line
Roundup came up strong in their
half and with two men on bases Toner
found the ball for hit to the tall and
uncut and as the two men on bases
We're making the rounds the crowd
began to disperse. 1t was a victory
for Roundup and sorry day for the
would-be court house pilferers.
The Lavina team was composed Of
perfect gentlemen accustomed to tax.
ing defeat gracefully, and with few
exceptions they played good, clean
ball; Roundup did not. Our boys are
not used to defeat and when it begins
to stare them in the face as it did for
a time Sunday, some of them show
their rough-neck qualities. much to the
disgust Of fans who pay their good
money to see ball game and not
rough and tumble fight such as was
only prevented Sunday by the timely
Interference of Manager O'Neil as he
took certain ball players by the arm
and forced them off the field.
A large crowd enjoyed the game, the
umpire's decisions were the best we
have seen here this season, and out
side of the occasional coarse" work
on the part of both teams, it was
good game.
The score by innings:
Lavina .......1 0 0 0 0 l "a
Roundup .....O 0 0 0 Is
Roundup will play Layina again

BY n. C. BYRD.

The post-season series was financial
success. Enough money was taken in at
the gate to pay all the expenses and
guarantee that each of the players will
receive fair portion for his share.
The. receipts for all the games are not
to be obtained just yet. but If the other
sections did anything in comparison to
what was accomplished in section the
proceeds will more than exceed expecta-
tions. If the other sections had even fair
success in the way of collections there is
every reason to believe that the players
will get share amounting to more
money than they have received in several
years.
The receipts for the games in section A
alone totaled within few dollars less
than a thousand. In fact, to be very
nearly exact, the amount taken in at the
gate for the games played in that class
was nine hundred and sixty-nine dollars
and some cents. This would average a
little over eighty dollars for each game
played which is not a poor record by
any means, when it is considered that no
fixed prices were charged, each entrant
bein eallowed to contribute whatever he
liked.
OF course the average for the other
contests was not as great as that in sec
ton A. 1t was not to be expected. but
it can be seen that il anything at all was
done at the gate in the other sections
and in the intersection series the players
and managers of the clubs will get a
