Rocky Ford enterprise., 1916-07-14

The Arkansas Valley league
started the second half of the 1916
season on Sunday with brighter
prospects than those of the first
half. Thru lack Of support at
Las Animas the franchise of that
city was transferred to Pueblo.
This change should help the
league all around as Pueblo will
no doubt prove Il better drawing
card than Las Animas and as the
team of that city has the backing
of the Chamber of Commerce
and a number of the leading bust
ness men they can be counted on
having ball club that will prove
strong contestants for the PEN
nant.
Charles Winters is manager of
the Pueblo team and he has secur-
ed the best players of the Pueblo
semi-pro league, which broke-up
last week. The games at Pueblo
will be played on Saturdays and
Sundays. instead of Thursdays
and Sundays as in the other towns
of the league. Thus when one of
the other teams 60 to Pueblo they
they will play two games, which
will reduce the number of trips
just one-half.
After three months of strenuous
work in looking after the financial
affairs of the Rocky Ford ball
team the board of directors
''threw up the sponge" last Friday,
announced that they were thru,
admitted that they had enough
and incidentally discharged the
members of the team.
No sooner had this action been
taken than Fred Knause made
the announcement that he would
take entire charge of the team and
finish the season according to the
schedule. Fred has piloted the
local team for two seasons and
won the pennants both years and
much credit is due him for the
action he has taken. The men,
bers of the team have shown their
confidence in his leadership by
assuring him that they would stay
to the end of the season. salary or
no salary.
Running ball club is no easy
job at the best and the citizens
and fans should get behind the
team with the necessary financial
and moral support and aid Mr..
Knause in keeping a team in
Rocky Ford. If the team had
been allowed to disband we would
have lost our franchise in the
league which would have meant
the death of baseball in this city
for some time to come.
In taking over the affairs of the
club the manager assumed no
liabilities and likewise no assets
and is thus handicapped at the
start in securing players to patch
up the weak spots in the lineup.

Concrete is either plain or REINFORCED
One is concrete without any kind of
reinforcement and in which all the
stresses are carried by the concrete.
The other is plain concrete. re-en-
forced with steel bars. beams or other
forms of metal or material. Re-en-
forcement is placed in concrete in
order to take up certain stresses and
reduce the volume of concrete. Con-
crete is strong in compression. but
weak in tension. SO II steel is embed
ded in the concrete in the proper
place to take up the tensile stresses,
a great saving of concrete is effected.
