Sebree, KY, Jan. 1S.-The most

With no water works and no

Sundays Games

Rocky Ford defeated Las Animas
last Sunday at the Bent county met
ropolis in close and exciting game by
a score of 8 to 2. incidentally La Jun
ia put the skids under Lamar and the
Cubs are on top once more.
The game at Las Animas was one of
the seasons finest, featured by the
pitching of Jackson and Keeler and
sensational catches by Maxwell and
Culp. The latter snatched liner from
Keeler's bat in the fifth that was label
ed for three sacks and Maxwell ended
the game by a great running one
handed catch of long fly from Zeller's
bat with Keeler on first praying for a
long hit.
Jackson had the edge on Keeler in
the box allowing but three hits and
striking out sixteen batters. The

and gave them severe beating by a

Starr was in superb form and the en-

their supporters.

result was never in doubt after the
first session.
Athletes Beaten
With ball game without pepper the
game of Sunday between the Athletes
of this city and the Sugar City team
seem like old time to the 200 fans who
attended the game, which resulted in
victory for the visitors by score of l6 to
8. With the loss of Catcher Beall and the
consequent shifting of positions coupled
with two accidents which put Campbell
out of the box and the left fielder into
right, the home team was handicapped
but the visitors must be given the credit
of playing the better ball and while the
hitting was free on both sides both sides
using two pitchers the Sugar City boys
punched hits when they meant runs and
played with more spirit.
Bridges started the game in the box
for the home team but after the visitors
had secured eight runs in the first two
innings he was taken out and Campbell
was put in and kept the hitting down for
the: next two periods. A split finger in the
fifth put him out of business and Bridges
was again put in. For a man who has
not played for some years, Clore who
was catching for the home team,
was partial success but never attempt
ed to throw to second so that base was
gift if a runner reached first which was
feature in the Sugar City run column.
Horney and Donley were the battery for
the visitors but in the sixth Horney was
replaced by Walker, south paw, who
finished the game. Both men played good
ball and while theywere hit hard at times
the hits were not punched to any extent.

LETTER CARRIERS
Rocky Mountain District Associa-
tion Holds Enthusias site conven-
tion In This City Last Sunday

Although there was a slim represent
alton from outside states at the twelfth
annual convention of the Rocky Noun
tain District Letter Carriers association
in this city last Sunday, the several
towns of Colorado were quite well repre-
sented and in consequence this conven-
tion is reported to have been one of the
most important and successful that has
ever been held in the Rocky Mountain
states.
AS most of the delegates came in upon
the morning trains the forenoon was
taken up with reception of delegates,
appointment of committees and other
necessary matters of organization. At
/ 80 p. m. the credentials committee
reported the following delegates present
and the business proper of the convention
began:
George Reynolds, B. F. Newell, A.
B. Gregg, G. D. Durham, F. B. Scha-
fer, Albert Graichen, Chauncey Shaf-
fer, Fred Alderman, B. F. Grain, John
Reinhart of Denver; N. r. Torrino,
Trinidad; E. M. Ross, Boulder; Henry
E. o. Kane, Lamar; A w. Regius,
G. w. Lott, c. j. Suter, w. S. Speery
and E. l.. Vorney of Pueblo; Roy H..
Wilson, C. R. Gardner, w. B. Brice,
S. r. Koons, Colorado Springs; A. H.
McCrum, Victor; H. S. Dickey, Colo
RADIO City; B. E. Warren, Rocky Ford.
Ed.I .Cantwell, national secretary was
present from Washington, d. C.. and de-
livered a very important talk to the as
sociation.
His address was confined mostly to the
provision of the Hamill retirement bill
now before congress, which provides for
a astraight pension for superannuated EN-
ployes of all departments under the
civil service act, and he urged the MEM
bers of the association to support only
such congressman as were favorable to
the bill.
Because of the fact that Arizona, New
Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming were with
out representation at the convention,
and it was further shown that only at
one annual meeting had any of these
states ever been represented, it was by
unanimous resolution decided to surrend-
er the charter of the Rocky Mountain
District Letter Carriers association and
apply for state charter.
The national secretary gave this ac-
ton his Endorsement and under his di-
rection the Colorado District Letter Car
riers association was organized with the
following officers:
President S. Dickey, Colorado
City.
Vice-Presdent- H. Graichen,
Denver.
Secretary and Treasurer M.
Rayce, Boulder.
Delegate-at-large- w. Jones.
Examining Board-A. w. Kohler,

A. w. Regius, Pueblo.
The next meeting of the association
will be held at Denver.

Promptly at the appointed hour
III a. m. on Tuesday-County
Chairman Vaudeville called the
Otero County Republican as
sembly to order in Wonderly's
theatre and the delegates assem-
bled listened with deep attention
to an earnest invocation by Rev.
Goldie of La Junta.
After the reading of the call by
Secretary Winchell the county
chairman engaged the attention of
the assembly with few remarks
previous to calling for the elec-
ton of temporary chairman.
Mr.. Vaudeville called the at
tention of the assembly to the
crisis that the Republican party is
facing at this time. and stated
that if ever there was time
when a change was needed both
in state and county politics it is
now. The speaker called atten-
ton to the fact that extravaganza
had increased taxation until it
had become Il burden and that it
devolved upon the men of the
Republican party, if called upon,
to take up the burden of office
even at the sacrifice of personal
business.
The spirit of the assembly was
made manifest in the hearty ap-
plause that greeted the speaker,
who concluded his remarks by re-
ferring to the split in the party
and of the prospect of a fusion
and hoped that in all the nomina-
tions and the deliberations of the
assembly it would be borne in
mind that now we must have the
best there is in both factions.
Fred l.. Johnston of this city
was the unanimous choice of the
assembly for temporary chairman
and Earl w. Haskins of La Junta
for secretary.
On several motions the follow
ing committees were appointed
and the assembly ado ourned TO
1:30 p. m. to give them time to
prepare reports:
A conference committee of five to
meet with a like committee of Pro-
gressives and select a county ticket if
possible-Dr. Stubbs and George Barr
Of La Junta, Judge Spencer of Manza-
nola, ]. H. Price and D. L. Joehnek Of
Rocky Ford.
Decentralization Of La Junta. Shell
ton of Holbrook. Clews of Manzanola.
Observation-Disclosures and Seeley Of

Ford and Bird of Manzanola.

The New Era In Mexico.

While The Herald has believed the
presidents opposition to Huerta an UNI
warranted interference with the affairs
of another nation, we are not sorry that
the Mexican dictator has thrown up the
sponge, thereby giving the Washington

hone they will succeed. The peace be-

about through the mediation of the A.

maintained. This is in itself no small
triumph, in view of the nearness to hos
tilities at Vera Cruz. To the question,
