Sisler Ranks Right
Behind Great Tyrus

New York, Aug. lo.-George Sisler
is probably more responsible for the
sudden flight of the Browns toward
the flag than any other player.
Sisler is already a recognized star.
Though this is only his second year
as a professional ball player, he is
regarded as the best player in the
league next 10 Ty Cobb and has
been picked as the successor to the
great Tyrus.
Sisler can do anything with a ball.
He can hit and run bases and play
first base and pitch. He won a game
against Walter Johnson last season.
Sisler never argues with an umpire.

a game starts until it is over.

FIRST OF GLASS B
CITY SERIES TODAY
Murphys and Chris Lycks Will
Tangle This Afternoon at
Ducky Holmes Park.
CORRS BATTLE M'CARTHYS
BY FRANK OUIGLEY

When the asbestos drops at Ducky
Holmes park sometime in the neigh.
borhood of twilight this evening, one
team will be eliminated from further
participation in the Class B cham
pionShip finals. and the championship
of the Southern league will be defin.
itely decided. The first game will be
between the Corr Electrics and Nc
Carthy's Sunnybrooks at l:50 p, NJ,
and the second offense, Murphy Did
Its against Chris Lycks, at three whis-
ties and half.
Rivalry of the sour sort exists be
tween the Corrs and Mccarthy S
pennant aspirants OF the Southern
league so debate that would inject
life into balky mule will undoubt-
eddy be the outcome. These two
teams are approximately even in ev-
cry respect. Donahue or Barry will
hoist EN- over the platter for the
McCarthys and the Corrs will have
Krejci on the firing line.
A tough battle for the winning
number is anticipated when the Chris
Lycks, the leaders of the American
league, and the Murphy Did Its, pen
nant dudes of the City league, clash.
According to the Murphy Did Its, it
is just a question of going through
the motions with them or rather these
city elimination games are only es-
sental preliminary games that will
take the place of an alcohol rub to
get them in condition to fight tor
the National Class B amateur cham
pionship. They have already got
their trunks packed and all they are
waiting for is the proper hour to roll
around for a choo-clioo wagon to
haul them to their destination. The
Murphys have coolies of confidence
and, of course, it is valuable asset,
but the road to fame is rocky and
the Murphys might find themselves
in an extremely unpleasant mess be-
cause one of the other Class B pen
nant winners might prove stumbling
block and cause serious upsets to
their ambitions. Pnault, the youth
full wonder, will slip them over to the
CONSERVATION of the Murphys, and
Wizard Maxwell will hoist EN- for
the Murphy Did Its.

was said later that the reason for the
defeat was that the youngsters had

borne out by one OF the "bushers."

time ago between the Nourse Oil Co,
and the C. B. Athletics, which re-
suited in a victory for the lads across
the muddy but was protested by the
Nourse, he was turned down. The
directors thoroughly investigated this
matter when the game was protested,
and they made a fair decision, conse-
quently they did not care to rehash
the case. Without this game the
Nourse Oil cannot reach the top roost
of the Southern league, so Manger
Joyce decided to forfeit that l4-to-5
game, of which three innings remain
unplayed, to the McCarthys. Said
treatment irritated Albert Joyce so
much that he requested the directors
to take the Nourse Oil appellation out
of the Southern league standing, and
he also informed them that his team
would play independent ball here

consists OF Marty Krug, manager Of
the Omaha Western league team;
George Clark, chief supervisor OF
amateur base ball for the city, and

"We have q great navy; we shall
have greater one, unless all the signs
of the times are meaningless; and 1t
will be evolved on orderly, balanced
and efficient lines. 1t will be built,
not for conquest, but for security. Its
material structure, Its human equip
ment and its correlated portions will
unite to make it the most efficient

The Boy Scouts

Meeker's young opponents OF wood
craft, who went on hike, last week,
to the head waters of Coal creek, re-
turned to town last Friday, having
had a good time.
The troop was composed as follows:
Rev. Philip Nelson, scout master;
Rev. Kenneth Martin, assistant scout
master; Scouts Robert Kyle, Richard
Lyttle, Gordon Lumm, Francis Rea,
Robert Clinard, Edgar, George and
Ralph Peltier. Scouts Claude Riley
and Edwin Walden Joined the camp
later.
While at the Wilson park saw mill,
Mrs. Fred Riley replenished the camp
larder In handsome shape.
It was a bit humorous to see the
boys and their officers march out of
town, all afoot, with their sturdy
horses packed with grub and bedding
but, inspiring, nevertheless, to see a
United States flag heading the pro-
cession and another borne at the rear.
While in camp, q large national flag
flew from fall pole.
The Boy Scout idea is good way
to train our boys to be good citizens,
and Rev. Nelson is to be commended
for his efforts In organizing the Boy
Scouts In this community. The or
ganization is entirely non-sectarian
members of all creeds being enrolled
In the local troop. The return trip
was made In three and half hours
good marching time for Is miles.

OBITUARY
MRS. n. +. roRDHAM

In last issue Of the Glenwood Post,
the following particulars were given
OF the death Of Mrs. Fordham:
The entire community was sadden-
ed Thursday morning by the news
that Mrs. r. e. Fordham had died
the previous evening at st. Joseph's
hospital In Denver, death following
an operation for gallstones.
Mrs. Fordham had been . sufferer
for more than . year past from gall
stones and pernicious anaemia. About
three months ago she WAS taken to
Denver where noted physicians were
called on the case. Finally an opera
ton was deemed necessary and this
was performed on Wednesday.
Because Of the low Vitality Of the
patient as result of her long illness
she failed to rally and passed away
Wednesday night.
Deceased was woman Of beauti-
full Christian character and in her
death Glenwood has sustained a
severe loss. The sympathy Of the en-
tire community goes out to Mr.. Ford
ham and his children in the great
personal loss which they have sus-
tanned in the death Of wife and
mother.
Mrs. Fordham is survived by her
husband and two daughters and one
son. Winifred, Genevieve and
Arthur.
Funeral services were held In Den
yer Friday morning and the body
was cremated at the Riverside Gre
matory In accordance with Mrs.
Fordham's expressed desires. Mr..
Fordham is expected to return to
Glenwood today.-Glenwood Post.
The news OF the passing Of Mrs.
Fordham was received In Meeker last
Friday. While 1t was q shock to
many, it was not unexpected to those
who knew Of the poor health Of the
deceased, for long time past.
At the time her mother, Mrs. Mil
Ter, died, Mrs. FordhAm was In q san
itarium at Boulder, and she left that
Institution to attend her mothers
funeral services. This was strain
on her weakened condition, from
which, 1t Is said, she never recovered.
Maude Miller Fordham came to
Meeker with her parents In 1884. She
was \ very young girl then. Here
she grew up and received a liberal
education. Here she was married.
Here her children were born, and
here most Of her life was spent, until
she went to Glenwood to live, when
her husband vas appointed register
of the land Office 1t that place. She
Was always q great favorite in Meek
er, and all who knew her will be sorry
to hear that she has passed away
particularly the old timers.
The sympathy Of this community
goes out to the stricken husband and
children.
