CHANDLER
WINS OUT IN
MEMORIAL
DAY BATTLE

Canon City lost the opening number
of the baseball season Memorial DAP
afternoon at high school park when q
mitt full of errors let Chandler ou,
in the lead to 6. Lean Jawn" Ham
ilton unfolded his arm after the win
ter's Information and famed twelve
of the opponents. In addition he
picked up two hits, one double and
the other the first circuit clout OF the
season. He worked hard to win his
own game, but missed it by two count
ers.
Walker at third and later in center
field pulled off chorus of bungles
that let the locals into the cellar. He
gathered in total of seven errors,
which is some considerable collection
for a short bout.
The Canonites lit into Lewis offer
ings in the second stanza and meas
ured off three runs before the gong
sounded. Walters, who followed him
TO the slab for Chandler, was stingy
which Hamilton garnered for the good
of the cause, the other being annexed
by Duncan.
Chandler got taste of the home
plate in the second inning and then
rested on their honors until the fifth,
when two hits and an ever-present as
sortment of errors gave them four
runs. In the eighth they copped two
additional kopecks and were never
shaded thereafter, altho Hamiiton's
distinctive four base slam put hope
into the hearts of the locals in the
ninth. but it later proved of no use.
Bower and Strickland figured in a
couple of double plays which helped
vary the monotony OF the usual run
of plays.
The fact that Chandler had but one
earned run and the locals got three
shows clearly how costly the twelve
errors of the locals were.
A good crowd was out to look over
the prospects for the coming season
and were satisfied for the most part
that something can be made of the
material. Just a change here and
there is all that is necessary.
Most of the men will get some good
practice in the Y. NJ. C. A.-Church
league which opens its season Monday
night in a game between the Metho-
diafs and the Christians
