The lassles, heartened by the coun-

services, however. They quote num-

MoNTROSE TAKES EASY
GAME AWAY FROM DELTA

The Montrose baseball team came
down Sunday and went nine rounds
with the local aggregation, taking
home the honors to the tune of to 3.
The visitors brought one Clark who
blew in from Provo, Utah, several
weeks ago, and while his pitching was
only of the ordinary variety, his sup
port especially in the infield, was gilt
edged, the Mayo Brothers, Collins and
Hemphill pulling three double plays
which tended to NOW off the local
baserunners pretty rapidly.
Delta started with Rice in the box,
but he was pulled in the second inning
and replaced by Brouse who was suf-
fering from a sore arm. At any rate
he succeeded in tanning six of the
visitors and Rice one, while the visit
ing pitcher famed eight.
Brouse also knocked long fly
which connecting with a couple of
bingles in the outfield allowed him to
make home run. Bill Graham had
the same experience with long
drive, but Bill had the good fortune
to have Screeton on base, so two
runs were scored. It is an unusual
circumstance when two out of the only
three runs made are home runs.
1t was an off day for Delta, but the
tide will doubtless turn next time.
Sheriff Gill of Montrose and Mart
Thorp of Delta were the umpires. and
while the visiting umpire was accused
of favoring his team by calling strikes
balls when Delta was at bat. he
evened things up fairly we'll in the
long run by calling some balls strikes.
Sunday next Delta will play at
Fruita and the following Sunday
return game with Fruita will be play
ed here.
