LOrdsbug Wins Over
San Simon

The first notch the Lordsburg
Junior Baseball team puts In its 1915
bat, Is on the winning end. The game
Sunday afternoon was an easy walk
away from the first ball pitched until
the curtain dropped According to
their wire Of Saturday evening the
San Simon, Arizona, boys arrived on
the scene Of action Sunday afternoon,
but they we're completely out-classed
and didn't have smell-in for the
bacon. They we're a good bunch Of
sports and took their lammlng with
out a yelp but the local boys played
all around, above and below them and
when the adding machine was rushed
on deck at the end Of the ninth spasm
the tab stood 25 to 5 with the big
figures on the home side.
The crowd was good and everyone
chipped in cheerfully toward defray-
ing the expenses of the slaughter
The local orchestra furnished music
between innings and a strong wind
made the day rather uncomfortable
and the wind WAS against the pitcher
at that. But back to the music; 1t
was good and helped liven up the
afternoon allie same opening OF the
big league season There was good
representation of townsmen on deck
TO witness the struggle and some Of
the girls will be hoarse for weeks to
come. The only reason the roofing
wasn't stronger was because every
time a fellow would open his mouth
he would get throat full of dust
which formed brick between the
thorax and the appendix.
Leslie McGeein heaved good game
| local uh
form, keeping the San Simonians
under control at all times. Leslie
has the goods and will give all on
comers a run for their money. He
was we'll supported behind the bat by
| Bill DlaZ, who caught a good game
Coils and Ralph Constable, in center
field and first base respectively, made
good nabs Of everything coming their
way. Patricio Barela and Jimmie
Hughes guarded Bird and 2nd bases
we'll and made good at the bat. Pepe
Diaz and Malcomb 3ammon did good
work in the field although very few of
| the San Simon players raped the
bail out that far. Howard GLADDEN.
started In TO break up the game with
a'home run in the first inning and did
well at bat throughout the contest.
Quilla Hardin played in right filed
half of the game and rang in one run
during his chance to slug Harry
Foley made a good coach for the boys.
The san Simon boys were: r Mar
rett ID, j. TuTney. II E. Smith, 30.
and c Lefty Holt, 2b., A. Hearn, p ,
b. Barksdale, rf., N. Justice. c., II
Williams, CT, w. Smith, 2b., G.,
White, SIS, and L Buck, p Hearn
has a good wing for a southpaw but
the local team batted him out of the
box. 'Lonnie" Buck came to the
rescue and was also hit all over the
lot. Buck is veteran but was still
game and helped his boys as hest he
could. The San Simon bunch has
some good material in its nine but 1t
wasn't goud enough to compete with
the local players.
The collection taken at the game
netted S755 which was used in enter
tanning he visitors during their stay.
A return game will be played at
San Simon on the 2lst. A large
crowd Of local rooters will accompany
the hoys.
Thirty dollars have been collected
for purchasing suits and necessary
paraphernalia for the Lordsburg Ju-
niors and the equipment was ordered
Monday by j. S. Brown.
There will be a meeting of the
Senior ball players at room II OF the
Hardin Hotel tonight friday and
everyone is urged to be present.
