Was a Great Base Ball
Game.
DIXIE CARRIES OFF HONORS
Delightful Weather Adds to
the Pleasure.

The Fourth of July of 1912
will be one long to be remember
ed by the people of Elk City and
those that were the guests of
the city.
The day was ideal so far as
the weather conditions were con-
cerned, and the crowd began ar
irving early and by noon the
city was we'll filled with a jolly
throng, all bent on enjoying
the entertainment that was to
follow.
On Wednesday evening the
Dixie base ball team, with a
number of friends, arrived and
met with a hearty welcome, as
the annual game between Elk
CITY and Dixie had been the one
great anticipation of our National
Holiday.
The morning hours were sE ent
by friendly visits and by L
o'clock the crowds began to move
towards the ball grounds. After
the preliminary practice, Seth
Calvin, who had been chosen to
umpire, stepped to the plate and
announced that the game be-
tween Dixie and the ancient
enemy, Elk City, was now on,
and called play ball, and what
proved to be the best game OF
ball ever seen in Elk City started
amid the cheering of the crowd.
The first two innings were
featureless, in that neither side
scored, but Dixie succeeded IN
getting two men to second base;
In the last half of the third
inning. Litchfeld hit safe, stole
second and came home on a
safe hit.
III the first half of the fifth
Dixie scored three runs, but none
of them were earned. This was
enough for the Dixie rooters
and from this time on the game
was fought hard on the bleachers
In the seventh both side'
scored two runs, and the game
was now considered about al
even break, as both teams wer
playing good ball, and there wa
no signs of either being weak.
In the eighth Walding, Dixie
catcher got a foul tip on tn
finger and he was out of tn
game. AS Dixie had no othe
catcher, Earl Moses was borrow
ed from Elk and the game wa
finished with Moses playing O.

runs that should never have bee
made. Elk scored one run
