Leaders Take Another One
La Junta won from Fort Lyon
again on Sunday by the score of
8 to 5. Ballinger blew up in the
third when Is runs were made on
3 hits and numerous errors. 10y
who relieved him allowed but 4
hits and 2 runs during the bal
ance of the game. Stevens for
La Junta pitched good game,
striking out Is men. The home
runs by Pelky aud Sievers with
men on bases won the game for
the league leaders.
"Pickups and Popups"
As an all-arouid ball player the
honors go to Charlie Cochran. Not only
is "Chuck" the fastest and most reliable
center fielder that ever played in the val
ley and one of the heaviest hitters in the
league. but he can play any position on
the team. In last Thursdays game
after Las Animas had butchered An
drews offerings and secured S runs in
the third inning, "Chuck" was called in
from center to save the day. and save it
he did. During the six innings he pitch
ed the visitors received but one score
and in addition to his sensational work
in the box he raped out home run
with two men on bases, which was the
longest hit of the season on the home
grounds. In Sundays game our light
haired center fielder played second and
accepted five chances without an error
The Las Animas Leader makes a
holler this week about the way the score
was kept in last Thursdays game. claim
ing that the Rocky Ford team were al
lowed hits that should have been oharg-
ed up as errors against the Las Animas
team. This wall on the part of Las An
imas looks like small potatoes with few
in a hill. They failed to send a scorer
along with the team as is customary and
the scoring was left 10 Will Sellers. the
Rocky Ford scorekeeper, who scored the
plays to the best of his Judgment which
has always been satisfactory, II this
scoring don't suit the Leader they had
1 better send scorer along next time to
keep tab OH the errors made by their
home team,
The Denver Grizzlies had lots Of fun
at La Junta last Friday when they trim
med the chesty leaders OF the A v.
league by the decided score Of 90 to S.
Nine home runs were made in the game
and lesguers touched the La Junta
pitchers up for seventeen bngles. The
Denve. team did not use any of their
regular pitchers. but worked two fielder S
in the box. The showing of La Junta
against the Western leaguers was far
below that of Rocky Ford. Denver
made almost double the number of scores
in this game that St. Jos made in two
games against the Cubs.
Las Animas comes here on Sunday
and tho game promises to be one Of the
most interesting OF the season. Renell
will probably work for the home team
and Galgano for the visitors and a battlo
between thesa two veterans will be well
worth seeing.
Bobbie MeGraw pitched his first game
for Montrose on Tuesday and defeated
the Delta team on their home grounds by
score of to o. The game went ten
innings and McGraw struck out z and
allowed but two hits.
MiGoF Harwood. our fast second base
