The Carlsbad baseball aggregation
spent Tuesday afternoon on the Arte-
sian diamond but being able to take
second money only to the score of
9 to 6, neither the visiting team nor
the local team gave as good exhibition
as they are capable of, but the game
attracted very good attendance and
held the interest of the spectators
throughout. Incidently this is the
eleventh game won in succession by
the Artesia club against the best tall
ent afforded in eastern New Mexico
The Dexter and Artesia ball teams
crossed bats on the Dexter diamond
Sunday and the unanimous verdict OF
the crowd of fans who We're present Is
that this was most closely contested
best played and most exciting exhibit
ton of the great national game ever
pulled off in the Pecos valley. Space
and the writer's ability does not make
it possible to describe in detail the
.rt,. I,,f l.
game lasts fifteen innings is tied at
the end of the ninth and is still tied at
the end of the fourteenth and winds
up the fifteenth with score of five to
four and every man on both teams has
played his darndest every minute of
the fifteen innings, 1t is some game.
Almost needless to say this score of
five to four was in favor of Artesia.
