WHY the Football Squad Laughed.

Those who were there when this
incident happened some twelve years
ago never tire Of telling the following
yarn on I. I. Cammack. assistant su-
perintendent Of SCHOOLS:
Professor Cammack was vice princi-

The morning after the quarrel Ber-

asleep till the night was well spent,
the heated seething of her rage keep

It was only as the dawn paled the
square Of the window that she fell
into heavy slumber, disturbed by
dreams full Of stress and strife.
She looked up at the clock; It was
nearly ten. Dominick would have left
for the bank before this. so the
wretched constraint Of a meeting with
him was postponed. Sallow and heavy
eyed. her head aching. oppressed by a
sense Of the unbearable unpleasant

AS Seen by a Fan

Being a baseball enthusiast,
the temptation to comment on
the game Sunday between Belen
and Albuquerque cannot be re-
sisted. Therefore, Mr.. Editor,
if you will lend me, not your
ears, but a small space in your
most interesting paper, | will
greatly appreciate the courtesy.
1t was plain 10 be seen that
Albuquerque came here, not only
with the best players she could
muster, but also with blood in
her eye for past defeats and the
firm determination to win
through fair means or foul, and
after trying for four unsuccess-
full innings, the score was there
that those who ran might also
'~aaaa -ehe got ma1 and .ql,it be-
cause one Of her runners failed to
make safe connection with 3rd
base by a small margin. To
please the grandstand, which
with one voice cried Give it to
them, and to show Albuquerque
that we play gentleman's game
only, umpire of bases Branch
revoked his decision and the
game was resumed. Imagine
the disgust afterthis nauseating
dose from the Albuquerque
babies when Scoop" " the off
cial scorekoaper for Belen made
the startling discovery that TIE
"Hookwor-." manager for AL
buquerque was attempting to
sneak in { better batter than
Baca, Whog2 turn was then due
at the bat. The yells and Kisses
must have proceeded the dis
gruntled tam to Albuquerque.
Notwithsts nding these as we'll as
other unpleasant episodes, it was
a good ga~a and there were
spectacula, plays made by both
sides. Pitcher Spencer proved
beyond doubt that all he needed
was good support, by sending
back to the bench three men on
three strikes in quick succession.
Come again Albuquerque-we
can outbat you, outrun yon and
outclass you all around. But i.
helps pass the time away and
and besides is good exercise for
our vocal chords.

busy with the plans for the most
successful meeting the association
ever held.
Among other publicity matter
which the association is sending
out is the following preliminary
announcement:
The Mountainair ChautauQua
is now a statewide organization
and the people Of New Mexico
have made it what it is. The
discovery of so much latent talent
in the new Sunshine State has
been a pleasant surprise to many
and has accelerated development
along the line of progressive
thought as nothing else could
have done.
The program this year is made
upon similar lines as that Of the
successful one given last year,
peculiarly fitting to local condi-
tions and environment. A great
deal Of it is historic, some Of it
literary and some of it inducive
to material progress and develop
ment. Intermingled is sufficient
Of the humorous end entertaining
to round it out in an attractive
form and it is all educational.
Although this Is the sixth an
nual meeting and many have al
ready enjoyed the attractions of
climate, the beauty of scenery
and the uplift from association
with the noble men and women
who meet annually on Chautau-
qua park, there may yet be those
who are not familiar with the
location Or prevailing conditions.

will say Mountainair is located in

though we have several good

Lets on

The Gallup baseball team is
sues challenge to the Belen club
to play at Gallup, Belen or AL
buquerque, the latter city pre-
ferred, according to a letter to
the sporting editor Of the Jour-
nal from R. C. Beddow, manager
of the Gallup club.
Beddow says his team will put
up from 5000 to $500 as a side bet
that it can beat Belen. He also
says that Gallup for some time
has been trying to get Belen to
meet its representatives, but
they have been unable to agree
upon the terms, although Gallup
has offered the cutoff" mana
ger $75 to bring his team to Gal
lup. Belen, he says, would not
pay half of the Gallup teams ex-
penses to go there.
Gallup and Belen undoubtedly
would stage a classy game. Both
cities have walloped Albuquerque
teams. Owing to the fact that
Belen and Gallup have been un-
able to play in either of the home
cities the match, if it is settled,
probably will be staged here.
The fact that Albuquerque
would be neutral and that the at
tendance would be greater here
probably will influence the play
ing Of the game here.

The 4-A's of Albuquerque met
their match Sunday afternoon
when they went up against the
local ball team here. 1t was
evident at various instances Of
the game that the visitors had
come down to defeat the locals
by fair means or foul, but the
final score showed that they had
failed by a score Of s to 6.
Hartline and Valdevalde were
the batteries for the visitors.
while Spencer and Gilbert Off
ciated for the home team.
The first half of the first
inning gave the visitors, two
scores, and the visitors seemed
to think they had a snap of the
game, especially when the local
players failed to score during
their half. The second inning
added two more goose eggs, one
for each side. The local boys
took a fall out of Hartline in the
third, by hitting him easily,
scoring three times. The 4th,
5th and 9Th added goose eggs
for both sides and showed good
ball playing.
In the 7th Gonzales for the
visitors struck the ball to left
field, and attempted to make
third, to which he was beaten by
: safe SlAT3v,,. II+c @ 2M 2M,!1ys
out by the umpires, when Man
ager Matthews showed the yell
low streak, by starting a wran-
gle. The visitors decided to have
the decision or not play, and had
already put away their bats.
The local boys magnanimously
asked the umpire to give them
the decision, so that the game
might proceed. The next man
up went out at first. This petit
glaying only nerved our boys to
great effort, resulting in hitting
Hartline all over the field during
the the last of the 7th. When
the smoke cleared away, the
score stood 8 to 2 in favor of Be
len, which the 9Th failed to
change In the 9Th, Matthews
again tried a trick, that of sub
stituting man at bat, but was
caught before the player had
connected with the ball. His
sheepish grin showed only too
plainly that he was trying TO put
one over on US. Four scores
were added by the visitors in
this inning, making the total
8 to 6.
Features Of the game which
called forth especial applause
were the stealing Of bases by
Voelker and the taking in of a
foul by Gilbert, in which he had
to run into the fans crowding
close on the lines to make the
catch.
Spencer pitched a good game,

The above from Wednesdays
Albuquerque Morning Journal is
part true and part misleading.
1t is true that the Gallup team
has offered our team the SIS to
come to their city and play their
team, but our boys did not feel
that they could accept this pro-
position as the amount would not
cover the expense of the boys On
the trip. As to the statement
that our team would not pay
half of the Gallup teams expen-
Se3" to come to Belen, this is not
true, as our boys have offered to
meet the whole Of the expense Of
the Gallup team if they would
come here.
Our boys did offer to pay half
the expenses Of the Gallup team
when they intended coming here
to play and then going to San
Narc;al, the understanding being
that Belen and San Marcial would
divide the total expense between
the two teams, which is no more
than fair.
On Tuesday Of this week

Bolen Association sent three diff
ferent wires to the Gallup boys.
