LEAGUE SEASON
Opens SUNDAY
When Las Animas Meets the
Cubs on Local Grounds
ST. JOE DRUMMERS
HERE WEDNESDAY
Big Week Ahead for the Baseball
Bues-Local Team in Good
Shape for Open Game

It's here! Baseball! On Sun
day afternoon the season in the
Arkansas Valley league will open
and Rocky Ford will get it's first
taste in 1916 of the grand old
game when Las Animas meets the
Cubs at the fair grounds.
According to the dope sheet,
Carol Braden, president of the
local club, is scheduled to throw
the first ball and "Billy" Parks,
one of the directors, will receive
the throw.
"Wow!" "Put 'em over" "can't
get 'em over" "rotten, rotten"
Everything is in readiness for
the big opening game from
bunch of nice new white balls
down to the official score cards,
and a large crowd of fans will be
at the baseball party to see the
teams in action.
Interest is razor keen in the
game. The teams of the league
are faster this year than ever be-
fore; there will be better ball and
there won't be any wrangling to
delay matters board of direc-
tors have seen to that.
Las Animas has a strong team
and Sundays contest will be
battle royal. Manager Knause
has not announced who will start
the pitching for the locals, but it
will probably be Andrews or
Williams. The former has shown
up good in practice but has not
been given tryout in a regular
game.
One of the new umpires from
St Louis will be on the job and
the big doings will start promptly
at 2 As.
Leaeuers Here On Wednesday
On next Wednesday, May 3,
the st. Joe team of the Western
league will he here and play the
locals. This is the first time that
a big league aggregation has ever
played on the local field and in
dications are that the grandstands
will present Watermelon day
appearance. A large number of
fans from the neighboring towns
are planning on attending and of
course every body in Rocky Ford
will be there.
Owing to the heavy expense of
getting the st. Joe team to stop
here an admission of Soc will be
charged but it will be worth twice
that amount to see our old stand
by and hero of many battles,
"Jawn" jackson, in real league
uniform.
No reserved seats will be sold
so the first there will get the best
seats and if you want to get in
shouting distance you better ar
range to go little early.
Locals Lose to Trinidad
The local team went to Trini-
dad on Sunday, and in loosely
played game were defeated to the
tune of IL to 6. The Cubs did
not arrive until late and entered
the game without warming up,
which with the cold weather and
high altitude prevented them from
playing in their usual form.

age, but 1t will probably pay to spray.
Lime-sulphur at this time continues to
help prevent rot, scab and blotch.
In the average year this system OF
spraying means that one spraying
must be given in late April or early
May, another one about the middle of
May. another the latter part of May.
and another about the latter part of
July. You can figure out for yourself
how much spraying at these seasons
of the year would interfere with the
rest OF your work. If you would like
to spray. but feel that you have time
for only one spraying. give the sec

fallen.

On Sunday last Harry" and Dan, :"

 Deputy Sheriff Bates said Thurs day afternoon that physician wEol has attended Elliott in the past says the man has Bright's disease and isl not likely to live more than six months.
 EIIiott's Condition Critical.
 The condition of John Elliott, the Thompson murderer, was so serious Thursday night that it is believed he may die. On his cot in the hospital ward at the Brooklyn jail he lies with staring eyes, apparently knowing little of what is going on about him.
 Dr. George 8T Burroughs visited Elliott at the jail and again examined the fracture of the skull. Afterwards Dr. Burroughs said that the man may die. Elliott has not uttered a word since reaching the jail.

 MT. Kies took the matter up with Tennessee and got the following re- ply:

So Weak That He Was Given Cot

Elliott was delivered to Jailer AL bert s. Fields at the Windham county jail in Brooklyn Thursday at exactly noon by Sheriff Charles A. Gates of Willimantic and Deputy Sheriff W. N. Bates of Thompson.
 Elliott was in a deplorable state and had to be assisted from the automo- bile in which he was brought down from Thompson. He was helped up the steps of the jail and given seat in the office, where he sat shriveled up and trembling from head to foot, a repuIsive little man, whose head was bandaged and his face smeared with dry blood from the wounds that Burt Pettis is supposed to have in ficted upon him in the first stages of the terrible affair that ended in the death of Pettis and his daughter SybiI
