more than perfected road along the

Gunnison High School won Its first
interschOlastic track and field meet
last Saturday from the Monte Vista
team, scoring 104 1-3 points to their
visiting opponents 20 2-3.
Preceding the track meet, two base
ball games were played, both being
won by the Cowboys by . good score.
The first game was played Friday
afternoon, resulting in q victory for
Gunnison, 31-S, in 0 innings. Monte
Vista played loose game, with many
errors. Crook, their left-handed pit
cher, was good, but received ragged
support from his team. The regular
catcher, Smith, was IN center field on
account Of an injured hand, and the
substitute catcher, Gonzales, couldn't
hold Crook. Monte was also weak at
the bat, enabling O'Neill, Cowboy pit
cher, to strike out eleven men in the
first six innings, out of 18 to face him.
Mckee went In for O'Neill in the 7th,
and made three strike-outs in the two
innings. He was replaced in the 9th
by Ecchar, the freshman pitcher, who
kept the visitors scoreless.
Aiken was the star batter for the
Cowboys, making six runs out Of
eight times at the Bat. Captain o.
Neill made i've runs out Of seven
times up and brot in five scores.
Harvey Nelson lined out o homer
in the 8th with three men on bases.
After the sixth inning, Joe Midget"
O'Neill replaced Chuck Wright be-
hind the plate, and in addition to his
good work in catching for Mckee,
furnishes much enjoyment to the spec
tators with his good natured panning
Of the Monte Vista batters.
The Monte Vista team consisted Of
Ginders, Stoddard, Haggard, Smith,
Crook, Shultz, Cornell, Gray, Kerry
and Martin.
The second game, played Saturday
morning, attracted but small crowd.
Monte Vista showed brace and held
the Cowboys to . score Of 12-4 in .
fve-inning game. Crook showed an
Improvement and his support was
much better.
Ralph Wright umpired the games in
an excellent manner.
