The celebration Of Founder Day In
Alamo was an elaborate affair. Andy
Richard played the role of Uncle sam
and led the parade. which was the
feature of the day. Joseph Foremaster
was marshal of the day. Following
the mimicel Uncle Sam were three men
in full uniform OF the United States
army. These were the standard-bear-
ers. Lawrence Davis. Evan Davis and
Lynn Bolts taking this part, these be-
ing Alamo's representation in the
American army.
Next followed Ernie Higbiee and
Billy Lamb and others in vehicle of
their own design and construction. IL

The bishop followed next with his wife
and family in their Studebaker Six. IL
was beautifully decorated with flags
and bunting. The revival of the hand
cart company was represented by Sum
ner Stewart and his little son Tommy.
The next in order was a float repre-

was a truck bedecked with flags and
which followed a column of young
girls. each carrying flag. After the
beyy of beauties followed another float
representing the Hayseed Club. which
carried almost the entire club. This
was the last OF the parade and was in
deed a credit to the Hayseed Club. 1t
partly represented the endeavors of
the girls to make good time in Al
amo. The parade was soon over and
the program commenced. after which
the crowd dispersed for lunch.
The afternoon sports consisted of a
few horse races and the riding of a
bucking broncho and children's
dance. About 3 o'clock the ball game
was in full swing. The Caliente team.
fresh from the battle Of many con-
quests and gloating over its victory
over the Milford team, were In high
spirits and confident that success
would follow them, were confident that
victory was theirs. But 10! their de-
feat was an overwhelming one. In the
first inning Caliente made but one
tally, while Alamo made a total of
seven. From then on the Alamoites
steadily gained. Now and then the
Caliente team would make a stand and
slip a tally in. They played SO des-
perately that some innings the first
three who went to bat would go down.
Vast throngs gathered to see the game
and the girls on both sides came near
yelling themselves sick. So noisy was
the game that 1t was difficult for the
score keeper to keep in touch with
the play. One Of the Hayseeds re-
marked afterward that had they not
yelled so much perhaps the game would
not have been won. In the first half of
the ninth inning the score stood II to
7.
