pAu|SAOE EXCURSION
A GREAT SUCCESS
Eureka Team Brings Home Hall
the "Bacon" After Contest With
Two North End Clubs

returned home Sunday about 6:15 D.
M, having made the trip both ways
safely and in good time. When the
Eureka delegation alighted from the
train a round of cheers went up from
those awaiting them, for it was known
that the Eureka ball team brought
home a slice of the ''bacon"-if not
the whole piece.
1t was a good natured but tired
looking crowd that lined up to follow
the Lobster Club Band and the Eu-
reka Baseball Club from the depot up
town, but the band enlivened the
party by playing some of its spirited
marches en- route, and after the'line
of march was broken up it rendered
a number of selections on Main
| street.
The general report of all having
had a most enjoyable trip was ex-
pressed, for besides the ball games,
a continual round of amusement was
provided them. A majority of the
visitors to Palisade from Eureka,
Beowawe, Buckhorn, Union, Carlin
and the surrounding country attend
ed the laughable comedy, Miss
Topsy Turvey." very creditably pre-
sented by Palisades dramatic talent
there Saturday evening. and partici-
pated in the dance that followed.
After the ball game a number of
Eureka people took the evening
train and went up to Elko-combin-
ing business with pleasure, and were
fortunate in finding a street carnival
in full blast. which they took in and
later attended the ball in the Bradley
Opera House.
The Ball Games
The SENTINEL's representative who
accompanied the baseball excursion
Saturday says it was a complete sue
cess. The fans who followed the
team had an opportunity of seeing a
game that was we'll worth the trip,
although the score was a bit high
the result of rough ground-the
game being intensely exciting from
start to finish. Those who had the
good fortune of observing the boys
in action on foreign grounds were
agreeably surprised at the way in
which each player gave an account
of himself. Although the Eureka
boys lost the game. due to an erron-
eous decision in the eighth inning,
they played all around their oppon-
ents in spite of the fact that Palsade
had an all-star infield they had picked
up at Carlin and Buckhorn.
The game was called at Ais p. m.
and Eureka went first to the bat,
but failed to score in the first inning.
Kitchen, our left handed demon, took
his position in the box and started
pitching that high speed ball that
had Palisade guessing. Palisade had
their star men at the bat, but were
unable to land a hit off him. Owing
to the fact that Kitchen has had
some trouble with a strained shout
der, it was found that he could not
control the ball. and the result was
several men walked to first. 1t was
finally decided to put Cardinalli IN
the box, when was done. and at the
end of the second inning the sltua-
ton was well under control. The
score then stood 6 to 0 in favor OF
Palisade, and it looked like certain
defeat for Eureka; the noise was
coming from the Palisade side; Eu-
reka seemed disheartened, but the
boys came to the bat in the third
inning determined on making a snow
ing and the result was they scored.
The air was now full of hats and
tin cans and the noise coming from
the Eureka side would do credit to a
New Years night in a city. ms
tally stimulated the players as wen
as the fans, and the boys went into
the field in the last half of the third
with that same determination that
they had gone to the bat in the hrst
half. Cardinalli was now pltcnlnR
at a shut-out gait. and what few balls
were being hit we're picked up IN the
infeld and shot to first to the utter
disgust of the Palisade fans, VINO
were doing all in their power to turn
the tide in their favor. for, at this
stage of the game. Eureka was max
