That Idaho Springs has the
fastest team in the state was de-
monstrated last Sunday when the y
walloped the strong w. O. w. As
team of, Denver by IL to score.
The Choppers have defeated some
of Denver's best and fully expected
to give our boys a drubblng, but
were outclassed at every stage of
the game.
Williams was in fine form, strik-
ing out I3 and allowing but five
scattered hits; only one of the Wis
itors getting as far as third base.
Taylor OF the Woodmen pitched
good ball in the early innings, but
became discouraged through the
lack of support aud retired in the
Sth. in favor Ct Maddox.
"Ducky'' Menzimer loosenec
one of his ribs sliding to first in
the sixth inning and Carney was
forced to work behind the bat the
remainder of the game.
Next Sunday the Stall and
Dean team will endeavor to break
Idaho's winning streak. This
team is under the management of
Nat Walker. who last year hand
led the fast Glitch bunch, and are
rated as one Of the best semipro
teams in Denver. Williams, Car
ney and Hood were on Walker s
payroll earlier in the seasan, and
are anxious to see what the local
squad will do against their old
team. mates. Collins, the. sStall
and Dean pitcher held Greeley tc
hits last Sunday and we hope he
will be going right when he faces

appreciate his courtesy in advo-
eating the selection of this city

embers of the committee were in
defatigable in their efforts to make
the visitors happy and have a
thoroughly good time and they
had it. From the time of the ar
rival of the first train until their
departure they were loud in their
praises of Idaho Springs. There

by the railroad and as this did
not include many children under

up four trains, three of which
we're drawn by dou BILE headers.

The contests in the various sports
were interesting. All we. can
say in expression of our feel
in gs for these people is "Be sure

you look good to u.s." They came
for fun and are a most orderly and
courteous crowd.
