JULESBURG MAKES
CLEAN SWEEP
DURING WEEK
CHAPPELL. TORRINGTON AND
BRUSH ALL GO DOWN TO DE-
FEAT BEFORE OUR BASE BALL
ARTISTS

Julesburgs base ball team under the
direction of Ben Diamond has been
showing some fast ball the past week
coping four more wins without los
ing a game. The boys are fast get
ting in shape and playing together
better each game and We look for
them to keep on in the winning col
umn. Smith the new pitcher secured
from Rockford, H., is getting ac-
cllmated and promises to be one of
the very best pitchers in this section.
Fussell is going better than ever and
has not lost a game with the new
club and is holding all opponents to
exceedingly low scores.
Last Thursday the team Went to
Chappell and defeated Chappell by
score of 6 to L. Chappell had i'm
ported Red Donovan, former pitcher
from the Western League but he fail
ed to stop the Julesgurg batters.
Martin was on the mound for Jules
burg.
Torrington, Wyoming, was here for
two games last Friday and Saturday,
and our ball tossers won both games
in easy fashion. The first game,
played on Friday of last week, was
won by score Of to 3. Smith was
on the mound for Julesburg and Wood,
a left handler for Torrington. The
game started off with Torrington tax
ing the lead but after the first two in
nings Smith settled down and Wyo-
ming lads were unable to make an
other run. Smith won his own game
by nice two bagger in the sixth
inning driving in two runs. The fol-
lowing was the score by innings:
Torrinyton l2 o 0 0 90 O-3
Julesbure 600 2O2 0 0 x--4
Saturdays game was a big walk
away for the home team. The final
score was Is to 0. Fussell did the
twirling for Julesburg and he had
them at his mercy at all times, strik-
ing out fifteen men and letting them
down with but four hits. Only one
TLrrington runner was able to reach
.nird base and he reached that station
en- an error. Marlatt, their star pitch
er was on the mound for Torrngton,
but our sluggers had his goat and
batted him at will. The following
was the score by innings:
Torrington 0 0 0 o 0 90
Julesburg ! 4 l 0 l 0 X--l5
Sunday the team travelled to Brush
ard again cleaned up on that Ccan
winning by score OF 8 to 4. Smith
pitched this game with but one day
of rest and pitched the best game
since he has been with Julesburg. The
Brush team was able to secure but
one earned run the rest of the runs
they secured on bobbles. The fol-
kwing is the score by innings:
Julesburg 01 l 0 2 % U-5
Brush 0 90 0 0 U o.
Diamond and his crew left this
morning for Limerick, Nebr., where
they will cross bats with the team
of that place today. Tomorrow they
will play at North Platte and Saturday
at Hershey.
Sunday Grant will be here with the
strongest lineup they can present and
make an endeavor to defeat the Jules
burg sluggers.
Tuesday and Wednesday, July 27
and %, Sidney will be here for two
game series. Sidney beat Julesburg
earlier in the season before the team
was thoroughly organized and we ex-
pect to get revenge for the former
defeats and take them to two trim
mings.
Manager Lanning is making an en-
deavor to secure the fast Trenton, Ne
braska team for Thursday and Fri
day of next week but to date has not
been able to secure definitely a con-
tract with this team.
Saturday, July 81, and Sunday,
August l, the local boys will go to
FIT. Morgan, to cross bats with the
team of that place.
