THURSDAY ANOTHER BIG DAY.

THURSDAY ANOTHER BIG DAY.
! Yesterday was most beautiful
day. The San Juan sun shone in all
his glory. There was scarcely q
cloud to be seen in the heavens, some
thing unusual at this time Of the
year when there is big fair in prog
ress. 1t was common comment that
the day was most delightful and that
there would be record breaking
crowd at the fair grounds in the af-
ternoon. BY noon the streets were
! filled with those who had gone out
to take in the carnival shows and
games. Many came in their autos
from various sections Of the San Juan
and the San Luis valley to swell the
srowd that was to go to the fair
grounds in the afternoon By o'clock
Main avenue was lined with cars on
their way to the park, and many
cars had by that time selected their
positions at the grounds for the af-
ternoon. 1t was evident that the peo-
pie were on the way and that the
crowd would be as large or larger
than that of Wednesday. By 2
all available space at the grounds
was occupied. The grandstand was
full and cars were well around the
race track. 1t was an inspiration to
the ball players, the horse men. tight
wire walkers and others who were to
take part in the program of the day.
Not only did they come to see the
games but the agricultural and art
building had as many visitors as US
ual.

The baseball players were called to
their positions by Umpire Bluck with
Alamosa at the bat. Dougherty came
to bat and went out at first as did
Birch and Clyde Anheier in short or
der. Then came Clark to bat fol
Monte Vista and he too went out at
first, but ]. Mcintosh and Wallace
thought it would save time by their
striking out and the first inning was
over with no scores.
Hinkle led off for Alamosa in the
second inning and went out at first
Jones got down to first on an error
and got caught in the act of taking
third. Carl Anheier got down to
first on balls and was also caught
trying to purloin third. Then Seiber

first score. Burger struck out and
c. Mcintosh was caught trying to

the fifth inning for Alamosa and put

to frst ahead Of the ball. Dougher-
ty struck out and Birch flew out to
left. Then came G. Burger and hit
safe but got caught trying to run to
