t,oel morning.
This is Pi)ehe day
And this Is the day that Ely set
aside for the diamond performers
from the community once famed the
world over
Forget about the war. Don't wor-
~ about epidemies or nard times.
Now up and away with you to the
ball game this safternoon and the glad
dest time of your life. And that's what
you are going to have and that goes
as IL lays every child from 8 to 60,
who lays his foot within the baseball
grounds. Nothing will be undone to
make it a red letter day in memories
through life.
Some citizens might enjoy watch
ing Don Quixote fighting a windmill.
Others wouldn't The latter element
will be at the baseball clash today
The delegation from the once
noted silver camp has promised to
assist as pallbearers in administering
the last sad rites to the local con
tingent. The home guards have fur
nished some of the most mournful
scenes in our national pastime the
last two years, that they might be
willing TO be laid TO rest with due
cheerfulness
Once upon true, many years ago,
the lads from the city that boasts
OF Murry Greek are said to have been
as bright and clipper as a dollars
worth of doughnuts, but great des-
pondency has crept into them recent
ly and they have been one of those
alas outfits ever since. The players
have had their lower lips wrapped
up In gloom and had to be content
with past performances.
At this time of the year when ev-
erybody is sad enough. one should
feel pleasant thoughts of ones
neighbors and that's the way Ely
feels towards the visitors from
Phoebe. All the customary frills have
said to be in reserve.
The old dope book is here with us
again. Scan the list hurriedly and
one can say that the battle bears ali
the marks of a stiff one. The start
ling information that sets the nerves
of the enthusiasts tingling is the fact
that II will be a struggle from the
time the first pill is hurled over the
plate, until the third man is sent on
his way to the bench in the ninth.
Baseball has presented yaeuous
appearance this year. The cordial
relations existing between two COM
munities widely separated vii have a
marked effect on the national amuse-
ment. The plot to besmrch baseball
here will no longer prosper. II was
through the efforts of Assemblyman
A. l.. Scott of Lincoln county that
arrangements were eonsummated for
series of games. Ole Elliott of the
Northern Hotel was a live wire when
1t came to accommodating the baseball
players from Phoebe. The visitors are
being quartered at the Northern
without expense
Regardless of the outcome of the
clash this afternoon. the Phoebe
bunch has arranged a game with Me
Gill. Elliott is showing the visitors
around the district. They were taken
up to the mines yesterday afternoon
and for the first time saw the mann
moth steamshovels in operation. Be
iore their departure they will make a
tour OF the different buildings at
MeGill. and will learn the different
processes by which the crude mate
rial Is transformed into blister con-
per.
