| press day drew near,
But the devils tail" is idle since our
new press got here.
The last ball game of the season
took place on the Caldwell grounds
last Sunday between Caldwell and
predicted in The Tribune two weeks
ago, the Caldwell boys relieved their
Capital City friends of their money
with much ease and pleasure" Our
boys feel all the more elated over
their victory inasnhuch as the contest
was foced upon them by the Boise
papers continually blowing and calling
upon Caldwell "to put up her stuff"
1t is estimated that fully $1,000
changed hands on the game and fully
that much more Caldwell money was
on the field that could find no takers
The game was a magnificent one on
the part of the Caldwell boys. The
Boise boys did their best but the Ca1d-
well battery-Sebree and La Rue
was too much for them and the way
that they famed the wind was beauti-
full to look upon. The umpire, Mr..
Burroughs of Baker City, had COM
plete control of the game at all stages
and his promptness and impartiality in
rendering decisions won the respect
of both mines. After the game three
hearty cheers were given for the de-
feated team. In the evening they were
serenaded by the band and the boys
made every effort to make them feel
that they were honored guests en-
titled to the best that Caldwell could
offer, even if they couldn't play ball.
Our boys will play no more this
season but with the training that they
will receive through the Athletic club
this winter, expect to win the state
championship next summer. The final
score was 1873
Articles of Incorporation have been
filed with the secretary of state for
the Caldwell Athletic club. Caldwell
has taken the lead in this matter and
Fit is hoped that Boise City, which
should have been in the van, will fol-
low readily the example set by her
sister city. The social and physical
advantages to be derived from such an
organization are such as to warrant
the support of every sensible man and
all of our business men will respond
literally if called upon Boise Sun.
The Bachelors club lost two more
good members this week and the sur
vivors are correspondingly depressed.
But their lamentations are as nothing
compared. with the Silver City Ava
lanehe's tale of woe, which is as fol-
lows:
"The once famous Bachelors club
of Caldwell has all gone to pieces, is
a total wreck. With all of the vigil
ance which could be used to keep its
members true to their pledges, one
after another of them have fallen vic
tins to the bright smiles and lovely
charms of sweet women, until The
Tribune has been compelled to report
that the top of the beer keg where the
erstwhile presiding officer sat, is no
longer warmed and that one of the
members has eaten the bologna gavel.
AL of this would be no concern of
Silver City if the recreant members
would only stay at home; but when
one OF them boldly invades our town
and proposes to carry away one Of our
charming young ladies' we have a
right to wish that the club had been
truer to the ignoble pledges of its
founders. We have bachelors galore
in Silver City; bachelors old and
bachelors young, bachelors handsome
and bachelors plain; bachelors bald
and bachelors gray, bachelors who
ought not to count because they
smoke cigarettes, bachelors who are
worse because they drink; but also
bachelors who are many, big hearted
men who ought to be making some
loving woman happy. For years they
have witnessed one after another
sweet Silver City girl carried away
to adorn home elsewhere; and still
the cruel work goes on. But when
they let a Caldwell gentleman desert
club to which he has pledged allie
glance. invade one of the pleasantest
homes iii Silver City and capture one
OF our fairest maidens, it is time that
we should rise UP in our wrath and
cry, Out upon such want Of viliance.
Burst up your unfaithful club, oh
Caldwell. Let US start an equally UNI
faithful one here.
The residence of Mr.. Shaffer, nearl
Middleton, burned to the ground last
Monday night leaving the family en-
tirely destitute. DIR. Armstrong was
in town Thursday and raised some
money from our ever ready citizens to
relieve their present, wants.
