slDELIGHTS on THE GAME

I.oca, fans. who had not seen
the playing grounds Of the Ardmore
TO league team prior to yesterday
afternoon, were pleasantly surprised
when they entered the grounds. Very
little grass covers any part of the
infield or outfield. and the field IS
perfectly level.
An unobstructed view of all parts
of the field is visible from any sec
ton Of the grandstand and bleachers.
The boxes at the foot of the grand
stand were very popular with the
fans yesterday and all were filled
with rooters, at least half of whom
were of the feminine sex.
Considering the fact that the game
was called at p. m. yesterday, which
is rather early hour. the crowd
present should lend encouragement to
the management of the local team.
The team itself, after showing the
high caliber it was made of during
yesterdays game. warrants capacity
attendance at all home games.
Val Mullen won first place in the
rooters ranks yesterday His candi-
dacy was unopposed, although many
rooted for minor positions,
Pemberton, Ardmores catcher won
for himself the name of smiley yes
terday. Throughout the entire game
even when things looked little blue,
Smiley" had his face covered with a
smile that won't come off"
"Smiley's" smile is contagious-for
when a person sees Smiley" smile
that person must smile with him.
That's the way it appeared at yes
terday's game.
Naylor, the lanky first baseman,
won for himself place in the hearts
Of the Ardmore fans by his splendid
performance.
Not only did the fans praise Nay
lor's work, but Immediately after the
game the manager of the Omaha
team complmented him on his work
and even offered him position.
