FIRST BALL GAME

hastily-organized ball team
from Monte Vista went to Del Norte
Sunday to open the preliminaries and
were defeated by score of % to 4.
Mason and Macarthur did the pitch
ing for Monte and Akers showed that
he is regular catcher. Roy Wells
used all his smoke and had the
Monte batters at his mercy part of
the time.
The game, in spite of the unpre
paredness and cold weather, how
ever, served to stimulate interest in
the pastime for the coming season.
Del Norte has some new material,
brand new uniforms and the deter
. mination to have a winning team
Alamosa has good aggregation that
played the Denver Gas & Electrics a
to / contest and are preparing to
meet all the ID. & r. G.. teams for a
summer series. So that prospects
for good base ball are exceedingly
bright and the fans of this place may
rest assured that Manager Baird of
the II. o. G.'s will have a likely
bunch that will take on all-comers.
