PAoNlA WINS FROM DELTA
SUNDAY ON THEIR GROUNDS

Sunday the Giants journeyed over

Peach Pickers.
The attendance from Delta was a
very respectable size crowd coupled
with the unusual large turnout by
Paonia made, it was said, about the
largest ever assembled. The specta-
tors were orderly and there was no
differences over decisions of umpires
and Paonia won, too.
Paulicheck, that famous twirler from
the Denver sandbars and elsewhere,
was in the box for Paonia, this be-
ing his first game of the season in
this position, and he threw wonder
full good game. in fact little too
good for heavy hitters, and allowed
but five hits.
K. Eberhardt, did the twirling act
for Delta, striking out men and al
lowing but four hits. Eberhardt sur
prised many Delta fans that accom-
panied the team. as well as many of
the batsmen that faced him.
The Paonia team are a mighty good
aggregation of players and they are

McGRAW AND LUBY THROW
WONDERFUL GAME TUESDAY

Baseball fans had the privilege on
Tuesday at Delta of witnessing bet
ter game of ball than are rs percent
of the big league games.
The game was between the Montrose
Indians and the Delta Giants, and
nine innings were played without a
score ON either side. In the tenth
chance long drive from Downey's will
low brought in two scores for Mont
rose and won them the game-two to
nothing.
Both teams played their best, there
isn't a question of doubt. The Delta
boys were at some disadvantage in
batting a new pitcher who had both
the reputation and points of phenom.
Luby pitched a wonderful game and
but for the one chance hit held them
down to outs at bat and first in one.

tire ten innings, and these are plac-
ed to the credit of J. Eberhardt with
2 and Dunn 1. He struck out II and
allowed walks. His smoke and
clever delivery is all and more than
could be expected of a semi-profes-
sional twirler.
Luby's work is to be commended.
He struck out and gave no bases on
balls, allowed but hits, and two of
these were obtained in the 10 inning.
1t was no mans game until the
close, as the chance which gave vic
tory to Montrose might have come to
Delta in the same way, in that or in
any other closely contested game.
Some of the Delta fans started in to
the game, having had it doped out to
them that he had always been petted
and that raw roofing would get him
mad and cause him to bust" He may
have got mad, for the language used
was plenty to warrant it, but he didn't
blow up" SO that it could be noticed.
From all appearances it spurred him
up few notches and he pitched his
game to the finish. 1t has often been
said that fans are tickle. and this oc-
casion proved no exception. The audi
ence, which, by the way, was one of
the largest ever in attendance at a
game in Delta, was soon entranced by
the great playing of both teams and
