WELL IX FIRST GAME.
AltuMruH|, for Rakers, Wu* Well
Su|>imri/*<1 and Held Millers
Down to Three linns.
One good hall game and one excep-
tionally punk one w*u? the bill of fare
for the fans y$ au rday afternoon at
Washington Park. And It may be re-
marked In passing that the Shelter.*
have gone back to their old life of er-
ror* and alJ the good work of the last
month has been undone.'
The first game w as the good one,
and was between th** Ji.-kers and the.
Millers. The Rakers had Armstrong I
In the box, and he had perfect sup-
port. Thus, a combination that could
not hardly be beaten was all fixed up
for the Miller boys.
The game started with ' Army” Just
a trifle stale. The Baker* had been
find up and had not scored, but when
the Millers came up they hit "Army”
pretty hard. It) all they got over three
runs, and they earned every one they
made. But from the second inning
to tlie last 'Army” proved invincible
and he never let another Fiourgrlnder
touch fourth base. In the second the
Raker* began to find Cargo and from
that inning, when they made two tal-
lies. and the next, when three more
wen* registered, they had the game
all th« ir own way. This put them Just
two runs In advance of the Millers and
this kept the game exciting to the
close. The fourth and fifth innings
were scoreless, both Cargo and Army
showing great control.
It was the same story In the sixth, \
with Cargo pulling himself out of a
hole when In- bad the bases full arid
only one man down and then fanning
the next two up. He got in the same
fix In the seventh, but his support was
lacking, and Mesa and Doering trotted
over. When the Millers came up for
the last time they were unable to
score, th»'ir last man, Chene, being
put out on a great cat< h by First base-
man Thompson, who jumped for a
high one and nabbed the sphere just
when It looked like a throw away. The
game was a good one all the way
through and showed up the best In
the pitching department. "Army,” for
the Bakers, was in great form, but
had Cargo the support that ‘‘Army”
had jt is very lively that the game
would have been a great deal closer.
Fourteen stickers faced Cargo and
went out on strike*.

’optimlscrf is on* of the greatest vir-
tue*. but the fan who could be op-
timistic with those Shelton* would
have to be able to put the double
cross on a smile. when they are
good, they play a game of ball that
I* one large piece of happiness, but
when they don’t—well, 8u one fan re-
marked when they changed pitcher*
In yenterday’a game, "Change' the
whole team.”
The Twenty-second Infantry *lmply
mauled and manhandled them for
seven inning* yesterday afternoon and
why Oppett, the Soldier t wirier, ever
allowed them to make a single run is
one of those little enigmas that will
be stowed away !n the archive* for-
ever unsolved.
The game looked as if It were going
to be almost human tn the first in-
ning, when neither side scored, hut
ftom the second on It was one gay
little romp. The Shelton* pitched a
t<tal of three pitchers and caught a
total of two catchers, but for some
reason or other they refused to let
the water carrier twirl, so they never
had a chance. It took them three full
Innings to get every man on the team
to the plate, which gives an Idea of
Oppett's twirling.
in the second, Laml), for the Sol-
diers, got to third on some dozen
passed balls. Then Pokrent came up
and walked. B, Fisher was next up.
tlo got a hit and the shock was so
great that the whole Shelton lineup
had a temporary lapse and while they
ran round the field in a dazed sort of
condition, Lamb and Pokrent loped
over and Fisher put on tho brakes at
third. He didn't stay there long as
Krlckson sacrificed him In. it made
three rum: for the Inning. And speak-
ing of Krlckson It might be said right
here that he is the best fielder in the
El Paso City league. There was one
little catch In the fifth that ougnt to
attract the attention of the big league
scouts. The ball landed way out of
his territory and was a high imj, lut
Erickson did a Marathon half across
the field, extended his right wing and.
back handed and on the run, ;:rabbed
the pill. Catches like that one are
only seen about once a season.
But to continue with the carnage.
The Soldiers started tho third by
knocking Voung out of the box. The
Shells put (Jaffleld In and he lusted
considerably lea than Young. Caro
pitched the .remaining three Innings
and let seven men come In, In one
Inning. That was the fifth and the
Soldiers batted all the way around
and a couple over for good measure
and got a total of seven hits.
It was In the sixth thut Oppett el-
rher got a little tired or the Sheltons
began to get onto him. The first three
men up hit him In succession. Then,
with the bases full, Caro smote a
three-bagger and cleared tho sacks.
He came home a little later, but the
rally, if it can be called a rally, was
just one week too lute. The Soldiers
made four runs also when the came
up at (he end of the sixth, and they
decided to let It go at that and make
It a six Inning affair. It Is most de-
voutely to be hoped that Mesa Is In
the box when the Sheltons get Into
their next game.

Special to The Times.
Chicago, Aug. 11—Pitcher Lavender
who has done such excellent work
with the Cubs this year, la not such
a tremendous phenomenon when his
work Is compared with that of other
Cheney and Renlbach are each higher
in the percentage column than Lav-
ender, and yet you will hear more
talk among the fans about Lavender
than about the others who have been
in the game for years. Lavender has
pitchers on the team. Liefield, Richie, pitched several sensational games, and
---nru.-u-u-u-j-i.-i.-j-
«-: VS
he has done wonderful work for a
newcomer. Much of his success is
due to the able work of Catcher Ar-
cher. He Is a tower of strength be-
hind the plate. His skill and confi-
dence steady the pitcher and the whole
team.
DIAMOND NOTES
One of the reasons why the Saturday
games at Washington park are not as
good as the Sunday ones Is the fact that
seldom do both of the teams have their
full line-up. Nearly all the players
work In the city and It Is often diffi-
cult to get away from work, into a uni-
form and out to the park In time. That
was the case with the Sheltons yester-
day, and Fisher, their pitcher, simply
had a game bodily taken away from
him because his support was partially
recruits picked up at the last moment.
There are now more howls from the
tlceable with the umps that have been
seen at Washington park when they
are compared with Umpire Lortz and
that is that they lack firmness. Right
or wrong what Lortz said "went.” and
this stopped a lot of the repartee that
the players are always so anxious to
exchange with the urap when they
don't agree with him.
The rumor is again current on the
coast that the Pacific Coast league next
season will be a regulation eight team
league. It has not yet been decided
just which two cities will be added but
It Is pretty sure that San Diego will
be one of them. The other will prob-
ably be a city farther north.
Theer are now more howls from the
club managements that the attendance
Is falling off because the pennant in
the ational league Is cinched. When
the Giants were about twenty games
ahead of the best and Marquard was I
winning so many straight games that I
he lost count the fans took a layoff 1
and waited for the American league
ga.mes to come around.
BOXING BRIEFS
The fact that Jim Stewart outpointed
Luther McCarthy the other evening
does not worry the big man; that Is. not
very much. He’s going to stick around
and show the boys that hts fight was
not hla regular performance. Luther
has been signed up to meet Tom Ken-
nedy a week from tonight and he
swears that he will win In a canter. He
says that the big crowd got his goat
In the Stewart battle, but that now he
is used to the mob.
Mike Gibbons is getting ready to
descend upon the east once more. This
time he Is going to bring hts brother
Tommy along, who, Mike says, is as
good as he Is. When Mike pulls into
ew York he will find Sammy Smith
awaiting. Sammy has cleaned up all
the lightweights and has graduated
Into the middleweight class and figures
that he can give Mike a good run for
hts dlnero.

The chances for the Athletics being

one Is predicting a "blow up’’ In the
Boston team, a few weeks’ delay In the
explosion will render It harmless.
