surprised that he had not inyestigat

When George Washington was pres.
ident, and it didn't matter very much
just how or when things were done,
all went well with the date of inaugu-
ration, the time for the meeting of
Congress and the holding of elections
on the first Tuesday after the first
Monday in November. But now nearly
"a hundred million people have finger
in some part of the scheme of things.
and there is a crying need for many
changes; nevertheless. our young
Government is so welded to its own
customs that it is almost impossible
to break away from the old time order.
Senator Works of California, evident.
ly feeling encouraged by the fact that
the constitution has been amended
twice within the past few weeks, has
tackled the problem of terms and
elections" Through two bills he has
introduced he would change the elec
ton day from November to August
and provide for annual sessions ol
Congress from the first Monday In
October to the first Monday in June
Congressman would assume office II

Locals Win Once-lose Once.

Fair sized audiences were out to
witness two baseball games in this
city since last issue of the Independ-
ent-one on Decoration day and the
Other Sunday afternoon-and there
was considerable enthusiasm on the
part of auditors and fans. The occas-
ion for this hilarious feeling, however,
was vastly different for each event.
For the first game-a contest between
Cedtredge and Delta on Decoration
when the score stood II to in their
favor, was quite enough to cause some
joy, but in the second, on Sunday af-
ternoon, enthusiasm was far fetched" !"
the hands of Paonia by a score of 8
to 1, and in the second, arrest was
promised if the game was pulled off
on the Garnet mesa grounds.
Word went out Sunday morning that
some resident of the Garnet mesa
district had protested against base
ball games on the mesa park on Sun
day, and it was also reported that if
'pinched.' Manager King and his
team and the fans in general, however,
decided to go ahead with the program
as advertised and the game had pro-
gressed to the fifth or sixth inning
when an officer put in an appearance
and gave the word from bottom row
in the grandstand that all present
were trespassing disturbers, etc.
Just then some player made a two or
a three base hit which caused cheer
ing and the man with the star accept
ed this show of enthusiasm as directed
at him, and he excitedly stated that an
arrest. would follow for any individual
who made other such outbursts. No
further demonstrations of this kind
took place and the game came to a
close at the end of the seventh inning
as previusly arranged, with the record
book showing Delta defeated by the
score above mentioned. No arrests
have yet been made and the chances
are that none will be made.
The game itself was not a bad one
by any means, even if Delta did take
the short end of the glory, for there
were many good plays on each side.
The local team was strong at three or
four points, but clearly weak at others
or else needed thorough course of
coaching and training. Bross and Rule
held the points for Paonia. and Lowe
and Belford for the locals. And that
man Bross, by the way. seemed to
have all the mystery necessary in his
delivery to keep our boys hitting the
air. The only hit made by the home
team was by Beans Gale. The sin
gle run to the credit of Delta was
scored by Beckley. who was fortunate
enough to have his ball fumbled in the
infield and he managed to pass
around the entire circle and cross
home plate on series of errors.
The score by innings was as follows:
