Following is what the Trinidad
Picketwire has to say of the coming
games:
Revenge has saccharine qualities,
they say. And there is a certain clan
Of birds which is going out to sip
whole lot of that sweetness the end
of this week, if there is any way to
make baseball bats meet pitched balls.
Clayton is due for four-game series,
the first of which contests are to take
place in Trinidad Saturday and Sun
day.
Then on Monday and Tuesday the
same teams will clash at Clayton and
Trinidad hopes to make up for the
margin which now exists between the
two mines. For, be it remembered,
Clayton holds two of the victories
which have been gathered against the
Eagles this season, the only other one
having been taken by Van Houten. And
to make up for those two the Eagles
feel that the only thing to do is to take
the entire coming series.
Some great baseball will be staged
when the teams do get together, as
they put up one of the greatest games
seen here few weeks ago when Clay
ton took an thinning contest after the
prettiest sort of a fight.
Manager Cescolini will add another
twirler or two to his list and will be
ready for a hard siege. Hogan, the
new man in left field yesterday, will
probably remain as a fixture. He is
an infelder, but he also knows thing
or two about the handling of the long
hits in the outer circles.

Base Ball Tournament?

The present dream of the baseball
fans, which it is hoped and likely will,
prove a reality, is the holding Of
monster baseball tournament in Clay
ton in August or September.
Clayton already has string of vic
tories behind her and with the present
lineup it is contended she will be in
position to meet any amateur aggre-
cation, regardless of where they hail
from.
Clayton's strongest rival, Trinidad,
has met defeat twice at the hand of
the locals. They have broken even
with Dalhart, ditto with Texhoma.
This latter team has a normally
strong lineup and on each occasion
Clayton played against ''hand pick
ed" bunch made up of both Texhoma
and Liberal men, the later team her.
aided as one of the strongest in the
entire country.
The strongest Pueblo amateur team
even now inspires no terror in the
hearts of the locals-ditto Denver.
By the time the latter part of Aug
ust rolls round Georges Blues, at the
rate they are gaining form should be
capable of meeting anything that
wears base ball suits this side of the
minor leagues.
A series of ten games at home
against the fastest teams in the coun.
try should constitute an immense
drawing card.
with few additional facilities fol
accommodating crowds at the baseball
park and thoro campaign of adver.
tising Clayton should be able to carve
niche in baseball history hitherto
unheard of in the small town class.
AS yet the plan for such a tourna
ment has no definite form and mucl
depends upon the result of the foul
games scheduled between Claytor
and Trinidad Saturday and Sunday

Local socialists drafted a resolu-

Socialists maintain that it will put
their party papers out of business as
those publications depend almost en-

The trend of the resolution advocates
advancing the second class price on
papers that carry paid advertising.
