1t is rather strange that the average
patron OF baseball lacks the conf
dence In the manager just as soon as
things are not going right. Let few
games be lost and every nine out Of
ten so called fans will be there with
suggestion for changing the lineup Of
the team.
1t stands to reason that the individ
ual most vitality interested in teams
success is its manager, and when that
man has. had twenty-five years ex-
perience In baseball 1t would be wise
to display confidence In his Judgment.
But II Is perhaps the reason for the
popularity Of the sport that the spec.
tators consider themselves capable of
doing the managing.
1t is privilege which goes with
every admission ticket. incidentally,
it Is hut natural that the so called
fan should have no trouble convincing
himself OF the logic of his argument
when the team is not doing what 10
should. but 1t also stands to reason
that the only way success can be at
tanned is to have one man use his
Judgment.

President John NJ. Ward is using
1876 methods on his Boston Nationals.
so say the Boston critics. He expects
his pitchers to do as much base run
ming and batting as any one. He in
structed one once to try to hit bit
sooner at the ball just after he had
seen that one ground out to the second
baseman. BY hitting sooner. Ward told
him. he would hit singles through the
pitcher. all Of which is very true.
Pitcher Hub Perdue says Ward ought
not to expect them to play as the boys
did in &c when there's no one on the
team who saw the games of &c.

his subject was one covering wide

THEATERs CONSOLIDATED

An arrangement has been made be-
tween w. S. Parkison and Ollie Thorson
by which Mr.. Parkison will control
both the Isis and Odeon theaters of
this city. For the present the Odeon
will be closed and the Isis operated as
a moving picture show. 1t is probab."
that the Odeon will be opened occasion
ally for road show and next summer
it will be operated again as moving
picture theater.
The above plan has been contemplat
ed for some time and is made because
there is not sufficient demand in Gler-
wood for two picture shows, especially
in the winter. Manager Parkison say's
he proposes to maintain in the Isis the
high standard which has always char
acterized the Odeon and that the people
of Glenwood will not suffer in the
least for entertainment on account of
the consolidation. The new arrange
ment went into effect last Monday.

Grand Junction, Jan. 30.-Secretary
Fred Shaffer of the Grand Junction
Chamber of Commerce has received re-

publican state committeeman to insure,
in his opinion at least, one of the re-

Junction.
A campaign to land the convention
has been carried on quietly for several
weeks and Secretary Shaffer has OBJ
tanned pledges from many members Of
the committee who declare that they
will vote for Grand Junction.
1t is probable that the convention to
select delegates to the national con-
vention will be held in this city.
An invitation also has been extended
to the democratic state committee to
meet in Grand Junction. The Chamber
of Commerce has offered to provide an
auditorium capable Of seating 1900
delegates, ample hotel accommodations
and also every facility for the news
paper men for both democratic snd re.

SALE SET FOR FEB. II

Pueblo, Jan. 2S.-February II has
been designated as the date for the
sale of the holdings of the Union Trad
ing company, which was recently de
clared bankrupt. The sale will be held
in this city, at which time all the
stocks of the fourteen stores that were
controlled by the Colorado corporation,
fixtures, notes and other assets has
been formally ordered by Referee S. d.
Trimble, who conducted hearing III
the federal building yesterday aftel
noon.
All efforts to straighten out the af-
fairs of the Union company have been
without avail and the disposal of the
holdings by sale was the only conclu-
sion that could be arrived at by the
stockholders, many of whom congre-
gated in Pueblo yesterday to watch the
course the events are taking. Every
effort was made to patch up matters
at three meetings that were held yes
terday.

was subjected to a sort of a grilling
during the afternoon, especially while
the examination was being conducte
by Edmon j. Bennett, Denver attor-
ney, who represents large creditors of
the corporation. 1t remained for Porter
Plumb, Delta attorney to imply that

company on the condition that stores

stores never materialized, but still they
have been unable to get their money
back. Attorney Plumb was rather

MESA VERDE DITCH
ADJUDICATION

The Mesa Verde ditch hearing on an
application for the adjudication from
Rifle creek came before Judge Shu-
mate Thursday, this being continua
tion of the hearing of last December
which was continued for more specific
evidence as to the carrying capacity
of the ditch. This is the ditch recently
completed by Sam and Ed McLearn
and R. p. Davie and waters a part of
the Graham mesa. AT the hearing in
December Judge Shumate intimated
that he would allow this ditch an ad-
publication of 9.s6 second feet provided
it could be shown that the ditch would
carry that amount.
At the hearing Thursday it was
shown that in the weakest or smallest
place the ditch would only carry S.66
second feet and decree was entered
for that amount, this being sufficient
for 433 acres.
The adjudication was protested by
number of the Rifle creek ranchmen
practically the same ones who last week
sought to separate Billy Murtle from
the job of water commissioner
1t was shown, however, that the
ditch, aside from one or two weak
places, would carry II feet of wate-,
and that water had been applied to
beneficial use. At the best the owners
