oLATHE MEETS DEFEAT HERE
sUNOAY-INTERE GAME

A fairly good game of ball was wit
messed by about 800 ball-hungry fans
last Sunday afternoon, the participat-
ing mines being Olathe and Delta. The
grounds were in very bad condition,
owing to heavy rains Saturday night,
and several picturesque stunts not or
dinarily associated with baseball, were
staged.
While the pitching on both sides
was fully up to the standard set by
the Western Slope critics, errors on
both teams were about as thick as
dandelions, the local team pulling a
couple of dandies in the first inning in
! rapid succession.
The battery for the Onion Huskers
was made up of the usual combina.
tion, Neal and Mills, while our Karl
and Milt did the necessary for the
Giants.
The visitors filled up vacant spot
on second sack with one Wienie Spahr.
and of course he came in for his full
quota of riding from the grandstand.
The game started off with no hits
and no runs for either side, while
errors were about as thick as hasty
pudding. The locals put two over the
plate in the third, the visitors one in
the fourth and two in the fifth. This
made things begin to look up for the
visitors, the score reading 3 to 2.
However, in the 9th with two down

reaching home. There was nothing

they make 'em. They will be seen

Editorial Comments.

The Democrats continue to ignore
Mr.. Hughes speeches to the extent
that all they do is to Sputter and gasp
Let It be conceded there are really
strong grounds for the opinion that
President Wilson may carry Texas
next November. If these indications
are taken at their full WORTH some
bet that the tide will sweep on until
Mississippi and Alabama are also en-
rolled in the Democratic column.
Many big Democrats willing and
ready to speak for Wilson are care
full that their money shall not say any
thing on his side.
President Wilson says he is utter
ly Indifferent as to his reelection.
Perhaps that explains n good many
things nobody has heretofore been
able to understand.

Charles f. Hughes cannot get so far

there do not feel the jolting of his
criticisms. In fact. the Democratic
leaders at the capital city show synp-
toms of sea-sickness from the way in
which the ex-justice of the Supreme
