The last real Of pictures depicting
the Rocky Ford Cubs and Ia Junta
Starrs In 1914 action. took place It
the cave Of the said Cubs last Sunday.
and With this three thousand feet Of
nerve racking action also went Rocky
Ford's keg Of horsssAoss and Jawn
Whits-S0x Jackson's famous record
Of no games lost.
We feel that ws can uss the noun
horseshoes with impunity. for Y ever
. bunch OF ball players had the luck
Of beginner At poker In their former
contests with Ii Junta. those Rocky
Ford Cubs are the ones. This IL not
our opinion exclusively. It Is shared
not only By the starrs. but by many
OF the Cubs themselves.
But In our good fortune lets forget
these former reverses and again move
up to last Sunday. when all those 10y.
al fans who had an automobile. or
could horn themselves into some enc
else's. hied TO Melonville on the
Rhine (melon-rine). to see what the
slightly changed line up Of the Stars
could do In this their last attempt.
They were fully repaid for the "Trip.
Katherine. and you. too. Pauline. for
Of all the exciting. nerve racking ball
games you ever heard Of this was the
climax Of them all.
When the STAIRS took the field for
practice the line up showed Davis.
(l7 years old. catcher: Old Rip In
the box. Pap Eberling on first. Yant
second. Pyle. short stop. Oberling
tGod bless him). ON third. with
Lovett, Bagley and Barnes In the out
field. II was sure some ball team.
Neither side scored until the
fourth. when the Cubs. through =
shady peg and aliiQs tumble on
first. coupled with later hit, got 0
man across. In the fifth. with two
down. I'd Oberling pickelsd one for .
single. aadsthen cane Rip-and say.

relays. Oberiiag was sittins on the
bench and Rip was roosting on Third.
that being ~ far ~ he could get with
his IFS pounds Of flesh and his
eighteen pound gray sweater. Lit.
tie Davis then famed. but the score
was tied.
Neither side could score from then
on. although Rocky Ford had . man
on third aud another on second. with
none out In the eighth. but the old
side-wheeier struck out the next two
men and the third was an easy out.
which was = mighty good thing for
the La Junta fans who had bsen hold
ins their breath during this last reel
Of film.
In the ninth. Stonewali Jackson
seemed 70 feel = little bit nervous.
passing the first man on four vide
ones and hitting the next batter on
the arm. putting two on. Comes now
the Aforesaid I'd Oberims. who pro.
ceeds 70 place his third hit Of the
zane. and following him one Rip
Starr with his eighteen pound gray
sweater. RIP tried 10 duplicate his
fifth inning stunt. but the ball fell
about eight inches short Of the other
one aud Rip stopped at second bass
this time. but ~ three runs had been
scored there was NO hurry anyway.
Though . couple Of fumbics and boots
by the Cubs. La Junta got another
score In. making five for the game.
