FAST GAMES PROMISED THE Lo-
CAL FANS SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY

The games between the Dawson
Miners and the Las Vegas MarooDs.
booked for Saturday and Sunday, July
81 and rs. have been called off and
in place Of the coal diggers the fast
aggregation from Trinidad will go on
with the Maroons at Amusement park
on these dates. The club from Trini-
dad is the only one that has succeed
ed in defeating the Maroons on their
home grounds this summer, and, as
the club has been materially
strengthened since its last appear
ance here. even tighter game than
the one with Dawson should result in
the change Of schedule.
Tommy Lochard, the little twirler
from Trinidad, has assumed the man.
agement Of the Colorado team, which
is composed of the fastest players in
Trinidad and Colkedale. and seems
confident that he and his followers
can make things hot for the Maroons
and possibly break even in the series
Bill Burns, Jack Nash, cap" Mar
tin. Johnny McGeever, Briefly, Woods
Lott and Magnul. are some of the
ball tossers that Tommy Lochard WI
bring to the Meadow City to combat
with the local stars Of the diamond
All of these players are known t
the local fans, who will recognize
that it is some bunch of ball players
They are all clean fas fielders
and are heavy hitters, and though th'
Maroons and the local fans are con
fident that Las Vegas will come ou
on top in both games they realize tha
both contests will be hot ones. Lo
chard will twirl one of the game
against the Maroons. Sorensen an'
Lockhart will work on the mound TO
the locals.

PROGRAM FOR PROGRESSIVE
CONVENTION is BEING
DRAWN UP.

Chicago, July 24.-One part Of the
program for the national progressive
party convention was settled TODAY
with the announcement that Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt would address
the delegates in a key note" speech
at the Coliseum the evening OIL the
first days session, August 5.
Chauncey Dewey was selected hv
the advisory committee as sergeant
alarms of the national convention.
Among other subjects discussed hv
the leaders was the platform for the
third party. That it would .e along
advanced lines was freely predicted
and hints were heard that it would
contain specific reference to economic
adjustment after the fashion of the
David Lloyd-George proposals in Eng
land with reference to workingmen's
and old age pensions, and treatment
of taxation problems.

SHAVES and HAIRCUTS
FOR THE BALL BOYS
SATURDAY. is LADIES' DAY AND
THEY ARE PLANNING TO
"sPRUcE UP"

Saturday, July 27 as been designated
by the management of the Las Vegas
baseball club as Ladies Day, on
which occasion all of the women OF
the Meadow City will be admitted to
Amusement park free of charge. No
strings have been placed on ne offer
The ladies do not have to be accom-
panied by a man and no limit has
been placed on the number attend
ing the game. In fact; the more the
merrier This ladies' day offer in
cludes admission to the park and seats
in the grand stand, which can be had
FIRST come, first served"
Baseball fans among women in Las
Vegas are many, and it is expected
that on Saturday afternoon the grand
stand of the ball park will be filled
with fair danes. There is no getting
around it, pretty girls and matrons add
to the dignity and life of crowd
even at ball game and the attend
ance Of every fair fan is cordially in
vited. Then, too, the presence of the
fairer sex in the grandstaIfd will give
encouragement TO the players, and the
stars of the diamond will exert them
selves more than ever to make a hit
with the ladies.
1t is rumored that some of the Ma
rooms infielders, knowing of the plan
ned ladies' day, are doping out some
grandstands plays, for Saturdays con-
test with the Trinidad club. Two
hands on the BALI has been the rule
this year, but for the sake of pleasing
the ladies it is said that this law of
the diamond will be shelved for this
game. Tommy Clarke and Chief
Lockhart have both made arrange
ments to have tears in thir costumes
fixed before Saturdays contest, and it
will be noticed that with the possible
exception Of Jack Lyons. all of the
boys have visited the barber shop,
and Jack is using herpicide regularly
with the hope that he can cover the
top of his anatomy with a few extra
hairs before ladies' day. All of the
uniforms have been sent to the laun-
dry and no doubt on the day of the
game some of the Maroons will even
to go to the trouble of using little
TIN" on their shoes.
