ELKO DEFEATS WINNEMUCCA

The game of baseball between
Winnemucca and Elko Sunday af-
ternoon was one Of the best ever
seen in Elku. As we we're unable
to see the game We give the fol-
lowing report Ct it by one who saw
it:
Winnemucca's baseball team paid
our city visit yesterday afternoon
and advised us they here 20 indulge
in practice" gam, with our
local hoys. Those of us who lad
the pleasure of witnessing the game
are forced to remark that the Win
nemucca boys were obliged to
practice" all the arts known in
basebaudom in order to hold their
own with the Elkoites.
The rain clouds that overcast the
sky caused many to forego the
pleasure of witnessing one of the
most exciting baseball games seen
here for years, when the Elko stand
patters overcame 5-run lead and
won by the score Of 8 to Z.
Owing to the cold, damp day
our Rube was slow in warming up
and Winnemucca got a runaway
lead of 5 tallys. After the 9TH
inning, however, Rube settled down
and during the rest Of the game
had the "Muekeys' eating from
his hand, as they only scored 2runs
after the 4th inning.
Watt, pitching for Winnemucca,
started out fine, but weakened early
in the game and was touched for
7 healthy hits, one being a homer
by Bryant which put the game on
ice for Elko.
Our Indian shortstop, who bears
the immortal name of Casey, add
ed more laurels to the name by
being right on the job with three
bagger when three men were on
base, and he was largely responsible
for Elko's winning. Ryan, Taher.
Helfrich and Hicks played error
less ball and played the game all
the time.
The Winnemucca boys are gen.
tlemanly sportsmen and conducted
themselves accordingly and we hope
to see them in action again later in
the season.
There is one disagreeabie fea.
ture, however, that must be elimi
nated if the gen, raj ublic patron
age is appreciated at these games,
and that is betting money on the
result. We understand that close
to $1,000 changed hands yesterday
on the result of the game. While
the team appreciates the confidence
The local hackers have in them,
they would be perfectly satisfied
with their moral support.
One of the Elko hoys who was
responsible for Winnemucca's de-
feat was approached before the
game and offered $50 to throw the
the game. He was an Elkoite,
however, AMI refused and bent his
every effort to bring Elko in a
winner ard succeeded. Betting
has been the death of every sport.
SO let baseball live in Nevada.
Elko made s runs, 7 hits and 5
errors and Winnemucca Z runs, z
hits and 8 errors.
Frank Krenkel umpired for the
Winnemucca team and n. U. Castle
for the home team. There was the
usual amount Of jawbonc wasted
on the decisions, but both umpires
escaped without physical injury.
Their .tempcrs may have been
slightly rufIled at times, but no.
thing more serious happened to
them.

VILLA A NEGRO

When Spencer Young, an octo-
room lad went 10 one of the Ecgro
schools Of northwest Baltim re and
talked to his classmates Of some
day becoming a second George
Washington in some enthrslled land
his colleagues did not dream he
ever would have chance TO satisfy
his ambition.
Today Spencer Young is Gen.
Pancho Villa, successful leader of
the Constitutionalists in northern
Mexico.
At least that is what Alfred
Young, colored pastor Of Whatcoat
Methodist Episcopal church, says.
The PREACHER says also that he is
Vilt brother. Likewise he claims
the Baltimore.Mexican leader has
changed his name at least twice
since he was officially christencd in
n little col0red church near Cam
bridge, Dorchester county, in which
locality nc was Jorn.
Born Spencer Young, the youth
assumed tie name of Spencer
Meyer when he enlisted in the
Ninth calvalry in 1889. Then he
drifted TO Mexico and became
Panrho Villa. AT least that il what
Rev. Mr.. Young says and he ought
to know, being as he asserts, the
brother of the arch foe of Huerta.
Until II years ago, when his
mother died at their home, in
Twenty first and Half street,
Young says he corresponded with
his brother, Who was chen at Tux
