miles long. Giant mountains are walls.
running up thousands and thousands OF
feet, the sunlight and shadows combin-
Ing to paint the most beautiful silhou-
cites and fantasies on those giant can
vosses designed by the hand Of the Ar
chitect of the Universe.
|. 1.-The Colorado river, as you no
doubt know, runs through the Grand
Canyon. The stream is 500 feet wide
and yet from the top of thett giant
crags it looks as though one might
step across it..
Lieut. Pearson, the American ayia-
tor who got lost in Mexico some time
back was in the Conyon the day we
were there doing stunts. We could
hardly see his plane from the top.
Pixies Peak.
1--WE climbed Pixies Peak, the high
est point in the Rockies. On top Of
the peak there is an observation tow
er.| We climbed that. 1t isn't easy to
breathe in the atmosphere of this sem
tinel of the Rockies which towers
above. the surrounding mountains to
the height of 14,109 feet.
"As I was going up into the obser-
vation post the fellow who sold me
my ticket said: Go up the steps slow
and come down as fast as you like
"I,didn't quite understand him then
but after hadsclimbed step or two
I did. 1t is hard job and man with
a bad heart hasn't any business up
there.
Going down the mountains from
the summit Of Pixies Peak we ran into
snow storm. Think Of it-a snow
storm on June 3d. The snow is some
what different from our snow. The
flakes are about like our hall stones
although the snow is not hard I got
into snow ball battle with another
gentleman; but + was glad to give 1t
up after throwing two or three balls
I hadn't realized how weak l was up IN
that atmosphere"
Other Places or interest,"
"There were many other places OF
interest we touched at San Francis
CO, Los Angeles, Denver, Colorado
Springs and other cities all presented
many wonderful sights sand visions or
the extraordinary and unique.
Coming back some of the older men
of our party volunteered the asser-
ton that if they were younger they
would sell out and go to California 1t
is a wonderful country alright and
was. much struck with it; but l guess
I prefer Clover and York county and
South Carolina"

Founders Romp, on Legionaires.
Clover's Town r unders' mopped
up with the American Legion Larrup-
ers. of Yorkville on Hawthorn Field
here Saturday afternon, to 4. 1t was
all kinds. of an old ball game and the
drizzling rain that fell throughout the
nine frames made it really dull and
drab.: Clover deserved to win. The
locals played baseball while the SOL
diers just 'soldiered" all the way
through. Howard McMackin, hurlins
for the visitors pitched a fair game
but part of the heart was taken out
Of him in the very first inning when
Pop" Simrill, right fielder bolted an
easy one like seasick man on his
first trip does, and "Pep" Ashe let one
through his legs as. easy as an eel
would get through. Louis Smith OF
Filbert, Presbyterian college hurler
had the better. of it over McMackin
and furthermore had jam-up support
which McMackin didn't have.
Agnew, Erskine college backstop
catching for Glover, caught a great
game for the ".Rounders' and put the
fear of the sphere in every soldier
who attempted any ;hieving to second.
The soldiers tied the score A IN
the seventh and had two more chances
to win the old ball game when the
bases were twice drunk" but as usual
none Of the batters could be counted
on in a pinch. Martin, left fielder for
the Legionaires starred with the will
low for his team and Paul Bratton,
soldier centerfield was there with the
goods as usual; but it was only
mediocre performance on the part the
other performers.
