CAuENTE LOSES
FIRST FAIR GAME

after having had 1t taken away from
them two weeks ago. the Phoebe base
ball team returned to their homes here
last evening and impaired to their
friends the glad tidings that they had
handed the hot-town boys a little
drubbing to the tune of Z to s. it being
the opening day of the Lincoln county
fair and q rather gala occasion for
Caliente-that is. until after the ball
game.
Spec" Dolan. who occupied the mar
BILE slab in the center of the diamond
and matriculated the pill over the oys-
ter in dazzling style for the Phoebe
warriors. Is authority for the state
ment that for more than half of the
game Caliente was not permitted to
make a score. but he says he is soft
hearted anyway and couldn't stand for
the woebegone expressions that adorn-
ed the countenances of the Caliente
players. and particularly their hackers,
who had evidently staked their all on
the outcome. Consequently he permit
ted them to make a few runs Just to
make it interesting-but when they
got UP to the grand total of six spec
says the gong was sounded and the
final curtain was rung down on the
Caliente efforts.
1t was a grand game. and Judging
from the bulge of the business pockets
of many of the people from Pioche
1t would seem that it was also a profit
able one.
Pioche will play Milford at Caliente
tomorrow Saturday afternoon, that
being the last day of the fair. and it is
freely predicted that the entire popu
lation of Phoebe will be on hand to
witness the contest.
p. X. Hansen. a young man who re-
Gently wandered into Phoebe and en-
tered the employ of the Phoebe Mines
Company. occupied the center pasture
for Phoebe In this game and accredited
himself with some clever gleanings of
the pill from the ozone as well as sue
cessfully clouting the little round
thing on two occasions for extra bases.
1t might be said that he sniffed the
ozone for three strikes on his second
trip to the bat. but they do say that
even Babe Ruth does that occasionally.
Those from Phoebe who attended the
game are most pronounced in their
praise of the good craftsmanship of
some of the Caliente ball players par
ticularly Lloyd Denton. who. it is said,
when an argument came up regarding
conducted himself in most gentle-
manly and sportsmanlike manner. For
the showing Of this spirit he receives
especial mention.
The fourth annual Lincoln county

although only the first day OF the
