GIANTS WIN IN THE TWELFTH
FROM KANSAS CITY, SCORE aTo 2
(By Kaiser Bergerhoffl

Delta defeated the strong X. c. Red
Sox team to in IL innings yester
day. 1t was a fast game throughout
and as fine an exhibition of baseball
as has been seen on these grounds in
sometime "Keyhole" Bill Hill twirled
for Delta while Lovoks started for X.
c. being replaced by Lefty Fletcher In
the 10th.
Delta and Kansas City had several
chances to win before the 18th. but
the pitchers either tightened up or
great fielding stopped scoring. In the
ninth and tenth Big Hall struck out
three men in a row.
Corwin played his usual star game
yesterday and was certainly there
with his old Betsy by again breaking
up the game in the 18th with two men
on and no outs. By the way, he is
the man that our friend Newhouse of
the Denver Post says could not hit the
ball. Addington, our new second base
man also played the game. He is full
of pep all the time and is there with
the fight. He never says quit. Last
but not least we must say word about
our friend "Wop" Flynn and his little
stunt in the 11th. "Wop" says he did
not know he had the ball until he had
completed the double play unassisted.
With a man on first and one on third
and no outs "Wop' catches a line
drive about three feet from the bag
and then catches the runner by about
Is feet.
Crawford played his usual game for
the Red Sox. He is a man who han
dies himself like big Lacquer 1t is
great to see him work double play.

and the ball goes SO fast you can hard.

the close score of 4 to 3.
No one really expected it-few, il
any, even hoped for it-and it ali
happened so fast that it was like a
moving picture film run at top speed
but Lord! you can never tell what this
foxy bunch of players will do.
In this particular game Billings, our
little new pitcher, made his debut, and
you may be sure everyone was pleased
with his first appearance. The Sox
took thirteen hits off him, while Delta
bagged eleven off Kansas City. Each
side got the sum total of four strike

all right, fast and almost errorless, and
as gentlemanly bunch as you would
want to meet. And talk about your
sluggers! Well, you know these Sox
games were played on the 2x4 Mesa
park grounds, and there were number
of long drives that nearly reached the
Cedaredge thoroughfare at the foot of
the mesa. But our boys were fielding
deep, deeper, deepest. The only way
we located right field was by Berger

brow of the hill And so it happened
that none of the Missouri boys" reach

drive.

An Open Letter
to County Voters

On August 1, 1916, l was named, with

My nomination upon the Republican

Over thirty years ago l identified
myself with Delta County. My home

If elected, ECONOMY and EFFI-

DELTA SHUTS OUT THE
GRAND JUNCTION TEAM

The Grand junction baseball club
made their initial trip to Delta last
Sunday and played their third game
with the locals. The game was inter
esting throughout, starting off with
all the pep" that anyone could want.
There we're a number of enthusiastic
rooters with the visitors. There were
about fifty fans accompanying the
team by rail and number of cars
conveying persons to this city.
Hall was in the box for Delta and
Bergerhoff was behind the bat. Davis
and Dittman made up the battery for
the Mesa county club. Hall was in
fine trim Sunday and the longer he
pitched the better he semed to be-
come. Davis, too, should not be pass
ed unmentioned, for he is a good clean
pitcher, allowing our boys but eight
hits, while the visitors took bTee from
Delta. Davis struck out seven, while
Hall put the finishing touches to IS.
The main trouble with the Grand
JuHctioh poyS "dS idSh VI suPpoit' ei-

put four safe ones home, only one was
earned.

declared that further delays would
only decrease their chances OF
good weather for the journey.
The dogs and komatics were
made ready. four teams of nine
animals each, with ample provis-
ions and camping materials, so
that their trip might be taken in
comfort.
1t so happened that the relief
party from the yacht arrived at
Camp Argyle upon the eve of the
day that had been selected by
Peter Saint for the start toward
Quebec. Stephen Mallabee had so
far recovered that he was now up
and about, and he decided to i'm
mediately abandon Camp Argyle.
Thus, with the two departures,
the entire camp was nothing but
hustle and confusion.
The morning broke gray and
cold. After assisting Peter Saint
to make everything taut on the
komatics, Jensen returned to the
underground home with a heavy
heart to say farewell to Kerry
Malabee and her father.
He found them together in the
living room. Mallabee was seated
before a glowing thermal radiator
that furnished the only light
there. His daughter, who had
been handing him some medicinal
draught as Jensen entered, turn
ed and said:
Boy, you are going?"

fighting hard to down the hunger
that was in his heart. "And |

you will believe me sincere when

He bowed and backed toward
the door. At his first words, Nal
labee had risen to his feet.
"Mr. jensen" said Mallabee,
holding forward his hand, you
need offer no apologies. There
has been nothing in your conduct
that was not compatible with the

added vigorously, land loyalty to
