French took more than 1900 prisoners,
including 200 wounded. Some of the
prisoners believed they were within

re dogs in the COchetopa and Pike

Of forage that the rodents feed upon
would be sufficient for about 1880

which would be valued at about $780,
%. This work was done at cost TO

judging by the cheering and shouting
at times everybody enjoyed themselves
except the Whitmans and their follow
ers, even though the scores were one
sided, and errors and hits took a prom
inent part.
The Whitmans, with Fitz among
the absent, owing to sickness, through
their own efforts. particularly in the
second game, lost a double header, and
finished up the second half as tail
enders.
Through the victory OF both the
DAlembertes and Hugheys, a tie for
the second half resulted, both teams
finishing with a record Of Won and
lost. which will necessitate the play
ing off of the tie on next Sunday, to
decide which team will face the Handy
Kids for the winner for the season.
Mack Lewis started off the first
game for the Handy Kids, and the
Druggists greeted him with a bonn
bardment Of shot and shell that re-
minded one of the European war. Four
hits, and all of them solid smashes,
square on the nose, for a total of three
runs, were collected by the Druggists,
to start the inning, one of which was
a double by Motta Mack assisted in
his downfall in this game, by letting
in the winning run when he let loose
a high wild pitch, Van Matre scoring,
and Sanchez going to third They
scored three more in rne sixth inning
on a collection of two hits, three err
rOrs and two outs. Farinas who was
on the hilIock for the Druggists, was
never in danger, except In the fourth,
when the first two men up singled.
Villar the next man up popped TO short
and with one gone, John Gibson lifted
a high one to Sanchez at rnird, which
Phil gathered in easily. Brown pulled
one. by going down to third before the
catch. and Sanchez easily doubled him
at second. This was really the only
chance they had, as Farinas had them
at his mercy for the balance of the
game.
