Pecos, Tex, July 18-PecOs humili-
ated the fast Fort Stockton team here
yesterday before a large crowd by win
ming both games of a double header,
4-3 and 40. Fort Stockton gave the
local team the fastest ball yet seen
in this city. It is planned for Pecos
to play FL PasO three games this week
and upon the outcome depends the
amateur championship of the south
west The PecOs team has already de-
feated every team met from New Mex
leo and Texas.
1t is not known by baseball officials
of the FL PasO City league what team
is to play PecOs. It is certain that it
is no City league team.
They must be laboring under some
delusion," said president Art Woods
when advised Thursday morning of
the dispatch from Pecos to The Her
aid. The City league contains the
strongest teams in FL Paso, and to
gain the championship of the south
west Pecos must play the leading City
league team. I have heard of no local
team which viii play PecOs"
