BOXING CARNIVAL SATURDAY
EVENING PLEASED EVERYBODY

The boxing carnival which was stag
ed at the Armory Saturday eveninb
by the members Of Co. c. was
successful affair from the standpoint
of pleasing the boxing enthusiasts.
From financial standpoint the boys
did not come out as well as they might
have.
The first event was between Side
bottom and vandespool. The boys
were very evenly matched and for
lads of 10 years of age. their exhibi-
tion was well received.
Lewis Sidebottom and Eddie Farris
mixed in a scheduled six-round go.
but the referee called it off in the
second round. Sidebottom being con-
siderably heavier than Farris made the
bout too one-sided-
Nick Paul and Bill Crawford were
the next up for scheduled six-round
mixup. They made things lively for
awhile until the two bumped heads and
Crawford went to the mat. Craw-
ford stated he was too dazed to con-
tinue and this match was called off
Charley Edelen of Hotchkiss and
frankie Dean of Pueblo, were up next
| for a six-round exhibition. Edelen car
ried the scrap to the noted Pueblo kid
all the way through, and kept Dean
guessing. Edelen had the pep and
punch which proved effective. Both
boys pleased everyone in their fistic
maneuvers. Edelen was given the
honors.
| Mark Blodgett and John Mccarthy
scheduled in a ten-round engagement.
called the turn in the 9th, favorably to
Mccarthy. Blodgett made things hum
for the first few seconds of each round,
but lacked the sticking qualities. Nc.
Carthy, while more scientific at the
! Eame, could not dish out anything
strong enough to put Blodgett to his
corner.
Mart Thorp OF Delta and Harry Rose
of Montrose were the referees.

GAME WAS DISAPPOINTMENT
TO ALL FANS ALIKE

The ball game at the Delta ball
park yesterday afternoon was far too
one-sided to be interesting. The Mont
rose team was crippled and employed
two Olathe men and two Delta men
to make out the team. The Delta
boys were in good trim and errors
were scarce.
Jones started pitching for Montrose,
but was retired in favor of Butler
after the first three men had raped
him for a two-bagger each. Butler
Jared better, but sustained severe in
jury during the third inning and was
forced to retire from the game. Black
burn was catcher. Shorty Williams
then took the mound for Montrose.
For Delta the batteries were Pinser
and Nicholson Umpires were c.
Adams, Alva Ratekin and Mart Thorp.
Montrose scored two runs, both be-
ing made by Shorty Williams. Delta's
tally showed IL runs.
Stub Warren was the star in the
outfield, getting one hit and four put
outs, there being three in one inning.

The property is said to be very

up in that section with several prop
critics which have been idle for years

DELTA LOSES TO oLATHE
IN SUNDAYS GAME

If one could erase the first inning
from the Sunday score it would look
hunky dee. but there is that unlucky
first Olathe went to bat and raped
Delta's new tosser for three hits and
three runs. the last two coming after
two men had been put to sleep in the
dog house. After that everybody
frightened up and through eight and
half tense innings not a man on eth
er side reached home.
Delta lost two excellent chances to
score. due to quick head work on the
part of opponents, while Olathe had
about the same experience.
Batteries were, for Olathe; Honey
cutt and Mills; for Delta; Pinser and
Warren. Nicholson played center
field owing to sore finger.
Bross covered himself with glory
for the Delta team. with his fielding
on short. Olathe had her invincible
Roy Roatcap in center field, who has
the happy faculty of coverin. several
acres of ground and grabbing every
fly in sight.
