Victorious At Longmont.

Well, Arvada seems to be again
riding on the wave of triumph, a
sweeping victory a week ago
against thu News-Times forces
and again a shut out for Long
mont in a most spectacular game
of 2 to nothing. 1t was hard
fought battle as it was on the
opponents grounds and having
an enviable reputation to de-
fend the Longmonters made
them fight over every inch of the
ground. Nichols, however. was
not the only star player on the
diamond, as every player starred
at some place in the game. If it
was not in the field or at base it
was at bat, so that each member
of the team felt that he had
something to do with the glorious
victory achieved. Nichols was
in fine form but he found the
voodoo lurking in the wake of
the bewhiskered spheres which
heretofore had fooled so many of
his foes. They were a wary
bunch and when they swung the
slab something generally happen
ed. Some of the balls are said
to have broken all aviation rec
ords, but when they came back
to mother earth usually some
body was there. The best Mich
OILS could do was to fan eight and
allow four hits, while his oppon-
ent famed 13 and allowed seven
hits. The features of the game
aside from the artistic work of
the battery of Nichols and Ler-
cher, was the two-base hit of
Richards and the sacrafice hit of
Graf. The fielding was very
Sensational as well as the roofing
of the Arvada fans.

New York, Dec. 8.-A roaring north
easter today swept the Atlantic coast
at go miles an hour from North Caro-
lima to Maine. The storm has been
blowing for more than 4S hours. Ship
ping at many points has been COM
pletely paralyzed. Many vessels
which put out before the blow began
are unreported and much anxiety Is
felt for their safety. The damage
along the coast will amount to $1,000,-
900 or more. 1t is the worst storm the
coast has known in many years.
Chief among the many wrecks cast
upon the shore was an unknown war
ship with four tunnels and a fighting
top, which went ashore yesterday near
Ocean City, Md. The identity of the
vessel was hidden by cloak of fos
but it's desperate plight was manifest
ed by continual shrieking of it's whis
tie during the forenoon for help
which could not be given because OF
the high seas. Shortly after noon a
telephone message from Ocean City re
ported that the warship had freed it
self and had proceeded seaward.
