FOR BENEFIT OF CEMETERY


II anyone who attended the game
at the bal park Tuesday expected
to see n "so-callcd" game of base
ball merely for u charitable purpose,
he changed his mind by the close of
the second inning and discovered he
was witnessing u sure enough game as
played by players wwho knew the
game and were there to play it. Ev-
cry business house of Deming closed
its doors at 2 $50 to give all chance
to witness, by reason of the object
object of the game and the ersonnei
of the players, what was to be- "the
game" of the season 50 The grand
stand and bleachers were filled to the
capacity.
Promptly at , o'clock Mayor John
COrbett ex-captain of the Deming
Fats. pitched the first ball and fol-
lowed up with three more, all over
the plnlc--very much voer-- and ten
feet out. Newt Bolich represented
the city government ut the bat, but
as Newt couldn't hit II fair ball with II
scoop shovel, the effort Of the pitcher
to "wnlk him" was wasted.
The Boosters went to bat first and
from start TO finish the play was fast
and snappy.
Frank Nordhaus and the Lawyer
Vaught were the umpires. and there
was Just enough kicking on their de-
cisions to convince them that they
were attending to busines.
The game ended by score Of 10 to
0 in favor of the Yellow Kids. show
ing that the "old boys" of Deming
unlike Jim Jefreries. can "come back.
The first five innings seemed To he
age and experience VI youth and vim.
In the sixth inning the "o!d boys ap-
peared weary, and in the seventh al
most went to pieces and the young
sters scampercd of with five runs. a
change of pitcher was then made and
the old timers frightened up their belts
fixed their caps, and with grim de
termination declared "thus far shalt
thou go and no farther" and from
then on the youngsters were not I'm
il" and the Yellow Kids piled up sew
en- runs in the last two innings.
Guess Henry Raithers mascot did
it.
George Leffler was crippled at first
base in the fifth inning, and had I"
be replaced by Bixler.
Morris Nordhaus' arm went out on
him in the sixth inning and Biyler wa
put in the box.
The several double plays during the
game proved our boys played ball
with their heads AS well as with
their hands.
Bixler's diplomacy in the ninth,
with three men on bases and one all
but scored, would have made McGraw
love him.
