WIN THE BALL GAME
AND THE SHOOT

Tuesday afternoon Del Norte
celebrated their half holiday by
winning the ball game from Ala
mosa and also by retaining their
hold on the Hardy trophy in the
shooting contest.
The ball game was close and ex-
citing No heavy hitting WAS done
and the score of 3 to | tells the
story, except that Alamosa lost out
by making errors at critical times.
Earl Bond, for Del Norte, made
the only long hit-a three-bagger.
Hubbard pitched for Alamosa.
Schied had a muzzle on and the
game went off smoothly.
In the shoot the Del Norte
team were in fine form, breaking
100 targets out of 1875; Monte
Vista, 100; Alamosa, 96.

best ever seen in that part of the

to determine the winner, and the
final score WAS 8 to in favor of
Sanford. The ball grounds were
very rough, to which fact Monte
attributes their defeat. Four hits
were made off McGraw, three COM

good for two runs. Wallace got

CRUEL BRAKEMAN ONCE ELECTED FRANK CHANGE FROM

once pitched headforemost from

cold night in a dreary November in
the Grand Junction sandhouse, is the

Junction was chosen for his alight-

the same brakeman who risked the
life and limb of the fated Peerless
Leader were in Grand Junction in
these days. his crew mates would
beat him up as having endangered
the Great American Pastime with un-
fanlike energy.
The story goes that in the early
days in 1896 Chance caught for a
team in Sullivan, ILL.,, where the sal
airy was limited to meal ticket and
a promise to pay. The meal ticket
became colandered and the promises
did not materialize. The Sullivan
