SEASON STARTS
That's More Than the Lamar Baseball
Team Did, However


Manager Knause brught his melon
rollers down last Sunday for the open
ing game of the league season, and
our boys must have been melons, for
the way the Fordites rolled them was
real "kruel." In fact if Secretary
Whitehead of the society for the sup
preston of cruelty had been present
every one of those Rocky Ford boys
would be in Jail now, where they be
long.
There was one of the largest crowds
out that has ever been on the home
grounds and they stuck loyalty to the
home team throughout and when the
game was lost beyond all hope still
rooted for that one little score that
would have prevented the first white
wash on the Lamar league team, but
there was no help for it. The melon
rollers played in mid-season form
showing the effects of the practice
they have been taking, but the Lamar
team was most of them playing to-
gether for their first game and acted
the part.
Manager Byrnes has some good ma
terial and we believe will soon have a
team that will match any in the val
ley. In fact he says now in the words
of that eminent base ball authority,
jeff Tessreau, well beat them there
birds next Sunday" We hope so, but
on Sundays form it is hard to even
hope. For, believe me, those melon

The above much abused expression
is the only thing to fit the situation in
Which the Colorado Springs auto tour
lists have been placed. They Travelled
four thousand miles through Iowa, IL
linois, Indiana and Missouri without
getting stuck in mud once, and then
when they reached the dry belt of
western Kansas and Colorado met
with a streak Of mud that almost fore
ed them to abandon the trip. They ar
rived in Lamar just six hours behind
their schedule after leaving Lakin on
time, but decided to cut out sleep for
one night and make La Junta in time
to keep to their schedule. They were
given dinner at the Ben-Mar by the
Lamar Commercial Club and then
went on through the night and mud
hoping for the best.

rollers played some baseball, both in
the field and at the bat. Every ball
batted by Lamar found man right
in front of it or right under it, while
most of theirs got away from our boys.
At that the famous Littler battery
showed it was just as good as ever
and some of the Lamar team played
good ball. All they need is team
work
The sad tale is best told by the box

La Junta took the opening game
from Fort Lyon. The game was play
ed at La Junta and the score was 4
to 2 The result was largely due to
the fine work of the newly imported
La Junta battery. According to the
Rocky Ford papers John Jackson,
last years Rocky Ford pitcher, is to
play with La Junta this season.

Two old Lamar vets met on Monday
morning with long faces and admitted
to each other that they had just man
aged to pull through the long hard
winter on the hopes of seeing the
Georgia minstrels and the opening ball
game. They saw both, and then wish
ed the winter had got them.

stand were only too anxious tn go ahead
but were blocked by owners Of prop
erty who are asking more for their
land than the Board is wont 70 pay.
The latter, while they have the power.
do not want to resort TO condemnation
proceedings, hut desire to reach an
amicable agreement with the proper
ty owners. The enlarged play ground
will add much to the school and is

ment. Let US hope that something
will be done soon.
