Two Precincts in
County Consolidated

At the last meeting of the Board
of County Commissioners two voting
precincts were consolidated and
made into one precinct. Whiskey
Gap precinct and Oil Camp precinct
are the two which were consolidated.
The voting place for both the Pri-
mary election and the General cleo
ton will be at the Wertz camp in
Oil Camp precinct.
This consolidation vas made at
the request of several voters in the
two precincts who stated that be-
cause of the few votes cast there one
precinct would be sufficient. 1t was
also felt by many that it would be
difficult to get judges and clerks to
serve in the two separate precincts.

RAWLINS BEAT
PARC0 SUNDAY
81

The hard hitting team from Parco
was defeated by h harder hitting
team from Rawlins Sunday afternoon
on the Rawlins field by a score of
8 to Z. These two teams have met
twice before, the Oil Cans winning
both games. Last Sunday was Raw
Inns day on the diamond and the
game played was one of the best
that has been played this season.
The Rawlins team has been great
ly strengthened and the last W o
games, the one a week ago Sunday
when Rawlins beat the fast aggre-
gation from Hanna, and the n last
Sunday when several old scores We're
evened up with the Parco Oil Cans,
were as fast and interesting as II
would want to see and the Rawlins
team is deserving of all the support
the Rawlins citizens can give it. for
it is playing mid-season ball and can
now compete with any of the teams
in this section of the state. Although
the Rawlins-Parco game did not have
as many distinguishing features as
the Rawlins-Hanna game, both
games were all that any fan could
ask for.
The game started last Sunday
about three o'clock under good base
ball conditions. Practically no wind
was blowing-an element the Raw
Inns team most always has to con-
tend with. Parco started out strong
the team made one run in the first
inning, three in the second and. three
in the fourth while Rawlins scored
one run in the second inning and
when it came to bat in the last half
of the fourth the score was seven
IN D~N Inu1tro rnn1a furN runQ in
the last half of that inning making
the score seven to three in Parco's
favor.
In the fifth inning a change was
made in several positions on the
Rawlins side; Morrison went to pitch
and Kingsley who had been in the
box went to third. The combination
was a great improvement, for with
the exception of the eighth inning
in which only three men were at
bat for Parco only foul Parco men
were at bat each inning and the re-
mainder of the game was a shut-out
for Parco. In the fifth inning Raw
Inns batted eight men around and
three ruiz were made. Aberding,
the Parco pitcher showed signs of
weakening. In the sixth inning
Rawlins made three more runs and
Earl waite replaced AlDerolng at
pitch-the score at the end Of the
sixth inning was 9 to Z in Rawlins
favor-the final score of the game
as both teams failed to score In the
remaining innings.
q. Parco must be given credit for a
fast baseball team but Rawlins now
has a team which is playing very
good ball and asst Sunday they were
better than Parco. The Rawlins
team is well balanced and going
strong and Is q good bet any day
against Parco. II a series OF five
games is played the teams can feel
assured of a good backing for both
teams are always out for blood n
because of their being so evenly
matched the crowd can always loo
for a close and interesting game.
The lineup was as follows:
