BASEBALL DOPE

Owing to the fact that the Needles
Baseball club announced at the last
moment that it was not coming, the
locals were unable to schedule
another game and therefore took on
the local Rip Track team Although
there was no comparison between the
two teams. very good game was
played. the Winslow ball club winning
out by score of to a. 1t looked as
though the game would be a shutout
affair until the locals eased up in the
last few innings and permitted the
Indians to make their few runs. At
times it looked as though the Rip
Track boys would make several
scores. but Manager Hixon's hirelings
would end such dreams by putting
over a snappy double play. Evidently
the Winslow team was unused to a
slow ball pitcher as the Indian slab
ster with his slow going ball kept the
hits pretty we'll scattered and no one
was able to hit the pill for any dis
tance Catcher Lowler. the backbone
of the local team, was conspicuous by
his absence, Rush taking his place
for the day and doing very good
work
The coming week the locals will
take on the Santa Fe team at Al
buquerque and fast game is assured
unless more of Manager Hixon's hired
men leave town. First baseman An
derson has left the city and his place
is hard to fill. The writer is wonder
ing why the locals are having most OF
their games scheduled for out OF
town. Perhaps Manager Hixon can
enlighten him as well as others OF
the fans.

tect and the builder of a greater and
better community and it should have
both the moral and financial strength
to get back of every proper effort for

 The San Pedro valley is capable of handling the situation. and with the aid of the creamery company will soon be supplying the state with the products Of the dairy
