LAMAR LOSES FIRST
League Season Opens With Holly and
Las Animas Teams Winning
the Games.

The Lamar team went to Holly on
Sunday and played the first regular
league game of the new Bent -Prowers
Baseball League season there. The
crowd was large and there We're many
people down from Lamar for the
game. The pitcher for the Lamar
team, who had promised to be ON hand,
failed to put in his appearance and as
a result Holly won rather easy game,
the score being il to G. At the same
time Las Animas was beating Fort
Lyon by an equally decisive score of
ii to Z on the Las Animas home
grounds.
Next Sunday Fort Lyon will play
the first league game of the season al

This will be the opening game of the
schedule here and all the fans should
turn out and give the team encour-
agement. The league is organized Sc

matched. Only one salaried man is

and if this rule is honestly carried ou,
the league can make good. and o
schedule of games worth seeing be
played. The trouble in the past has
been the various teams breaking ovei
the rules and hiring professional play
ers. The expense bills soon mount far
beyond the possible gate receipts and
bankrupt treasures soon put an end
to the game. The valley towns car
support a fair grade of base ball bui
all professional teams are impossible

considerable number. A very bounti-
ful spread had been prepared and all
present were in an especially fine
frame of mind when the feast was over
and the heavy oratorical guns began
to pop off. The speakers were all en-
thusiastic over the progress that has
been made along the route in the four
years since the highway was estab-
lished and better still was pronounced
for the future.

SKIRTS

In days gone by we can't deny
That skirts were worn by ladies fair.
The skirts were round and touched
the ground,
And one could see no stockings
there.
Our ladies dear, it seems quite clear.
Have changed the fashions sorter.
New skirts all seem to try to scream,
We're shorter! shorter! shorterl
Each time we took another look,
1t seemed the skirts were raising;
And men galore, as ne'er before,
On ladies' legs were gazing.
The skirts III swear. that make US
stare,
Amt longer than a minute.
A shorter craze-another raise
And they will reach the limit.
In two years more, or maybe four,
Some prophets say a year,
Like olaen kings and ancient things
The skirts will disappear.
Now listen dear, and you will hear.
The way TO save lot Of grief.
Why try TO work upon a skirt,
When you could simply wear leaf
As prearranged, the skirt has changed,
And il is shorter, thin and tight.
I'll bet dime in future time
The skirt will vanish from our
sight.

Got the Goods.

Sheriff John A. Simpson gathered
in a couple of bootleggers last Friday
who had in their possession eight bot
ties of the real stuff that once spread
sunshine and pink snakes all over the
horizon of man. He also took in a
fine six-cylinder car as a memento of
the occasion but its value is trifling
compared with the eight quarts. The
possessors are now languishing in jail,
and certain friends who were offered
some of the goods but failed to take
it for fear it was home brew are also
anguishing-cven though not in jail.

Tip Sans had twins
And a razor-backed sow.
Five dogs and a mule
And an old roam COW;
A bone-spavined filley
And n one-room house,
And a little wrinkled woman
Just as meek as a mouse.
Old Tip raised tobacco
And he trafficked in skins,
For he had seven sons
In addition to the twins.
And every mothers son,
And the little nanny, Jude,
Smoked pipe all day
And the twins both ehewed.
But Tip kept a-digging
And he never lost heart,
For the dogs hunted rabbits
And they caught right smart;
And the bone-spavined filly
And the mule pulled a plow,
And they lived of the givings
OF the old roam COW,
And the acorn-fattened farrow
OF the razor-back sow.
But here the story closes
OF my little romance,
For the seven sons are sleeping
On the battlefields of France;
But their daddy grows tobacco
And trafficks still in skins,
And the little wrinkled nanny
Has another pair of twins.

Approximately s90,ooo,ooo new stock
of the American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company will be offered at par

ing yesterday the decision of the di-
rectors TO raise new capital for the

h. Thayer, president, said that there
are at present 151 900 shareholders who
have the right to subscribe. This right
will expire at the close of business
July 20,
The new issue was provided for at
the annual meeting of stockholders
year ago last March, when the author
ICED share capital OF the company was
Increased from $500, 100000 to $780,
100000. The proceeds from the sale Of
the $90,000,000 issue will be used for
additions and betterments continually
required in the conduct of the COM
pany's business.
Following the announcement of the
new financing the price OF American
Telephone and Telegraph shares on the
Stock Exchange broke from 10s to
1o6ss. The closing sale was at 1867, a
net loss for the day of III points. On
the Broad Street curb market an active
market in the rights" to subscribe to
the new stock developed. The opening
bid was 7s and later sales took place at
81, but later decline carried the price
down &c %, with the closing transac-
tion at u. More than 100000 of the

The company has a total funded debt of
S3l7 ,429 900. Commenting on the new
stock offering Mr.. Thayer said yester-
day:
"Of course, this action will be no sur
prise to the stockholders or to the pub
lie. The program since the period of
Federal control has been perfectly OBJ
vious to any one having sufficient in
terest to study it. 1t was, first and
foremost, to get the service up to the
pre-war standard; second, to get wages
up to the postwar standard Coinci
dent with these moves and essential to
them was an increase in the revenue by
raising rates.
eve were prepared, therefore, at the
time of the annual meeting in March to
announce a change in our dividend
rates TO postwar standard which
would make participation in the fnanc-
ing of the business desirable to our
stockholders.
''The steady and satisfactory growth
of the business offers profitable field
for the investment of the new money.
We can see an outlook for the company
which will make the stock most at
tractive to the investors, and therefore
we are making this offering to our
stockholders"
