DELTA LOSES FIRST
GAME TO SOMERSET

1t was lively aggregation of ball
players and fans which came to
Delta from Somerset and other points
in the upper country Sunday to wit
ness the initial game of the Western
Slope baseball season, so far as Delta
is concerned.
George Rush held down the box for
Somerset and very creditably too,
while Pete Atkins acted as husky
backstop in his usual good style.
Delta produced a variety of tossers,
starting first with Red Hall from Ce-
daredge. Nicholson was star catch
er and was in perfectly good form.
Hall started off fine, allowing only
two hits up to the opening of the sixth
inning, but owing to a bum arm he
lost his control in this inning and al
lowed his adversaries to plant four
safe hits and an equal number of
runs. He was then retired, James
Killian occupying the mound for two
innings. The U. F. C. heavy sluggers
also found Jimmie a little too easy and
brought in two more men. He was
then retired in favor of Erwin San
key but the jinx had got too good a
start and they couldn't stop those
sluggers. At the beginning of the
sixth inning the score was to 0 in
favor of Delta but the Somerset team
got down to bushes and the lineup
for Delta was repeatedly changed in
the hope of filling up the weak spots
and each time little more disastrous
ly. it seems and when the curtain
rolled down on the last count the
score was 7-5 in favor of the visitors.
Rush allowed only eight hits and
struck out seven men: Killian one
Killian two and Sankey one. Hall
struck out seven; men; Killian one
Sankey three.
1t is announced by the management
of the Delta Club that Robert Bill
brough, who did some good tossing
last year. will return about the 18th
of this month.
A world of pep was added to the
afternoon by the Pea Green band who
furnished excellent music throughout
the game.
The score by innings was as follows
