NO. 15 I I THREE DAYS FREE CELEBRATION IS BEST EVER HELD HERE ASSEMBLY LOOKED UPON AS JOKE IN WHEELER CO. ALSO Mm r. '? ALL ARE SATISFIED People All Say "Were Treated Royally." PINE RIHGE TEAM WINS PURSE Parade Is Best Ever Seen Here All At. ractlons Attended By Large Crowds The free celebration which was held in this city last Satur day Sunday and Monday proved in spjte of many predictions to the contrary, to be the most successful event of the kind ever held in this city or this action of the mate. The street ' parade on Saturday morning was especially noteworthy many of the floats being equal to those seen in large cities, The float put out by Wm. Dunlap. won first prize. Mrs. W. 0. Echols and Miss Belle Lingo divided honors and the prize for the best lady horseback riders. The first ball game of the celebration was played on Saturday after noon between Pine Ridge and Olex, the former team winning by a score of 13 to 9. The game was loosely played, many errors ' being made by both teams and good plays were few and far a part The lack of tfinger, com bined with poor playing caused a lack of interest with the fans and many left the grandstand before the game was half over. The score was close up to the fifth' inning but after that it was a clean walk-away for the Pine Ridgers. The batteries were, for Pine Ridge-Frank Hollen and Kaesmyer, for Olex, E. Ashenfelter and Keeney. The second game on Sunday afternoon between Olex and the local Athletic Club team was a repetition of the first game as far as an exhibition of good ball was concerned, the Club taking the game by a Bcore of 14 to 9. There were features in every inning but they were mostly ' of f he error kind and the crowd a gain lost interest, many of them leaving before the game was finished. Olex had a new twirl er, Weaver, and he Buffered the bunjps as did the t wirier' of the first day. The team showed a lack of team work and were weak with the stick. ' While the Club team did not play their usual gome, their work was far ahead of the visitors. The los ing of this game deprived the Olex team of; a chance at the purse on Monday. The batteries were; for Olex, Weaver and Keeney and for the Club team, Welshons, Hartshorn and Fitz maurice. The free musical entertain ment and moving picture show which was held on the street Sunday evening was highly ap preciated by . the large crowd present' ' On Monday forenoon a few of the business houses of the city took part in a plug-ugly parade after which the exercises of the day were held in the rink. Sev eral musical selections were rendered and the Declaration of Independence read by Mrs. page. The address of the day by T. A; Weinke was especially well received and is especially worthy of mention considering the fact that Mr. Weinke had no time at all for preparation. The struggle for the purse on Monday afternoon was between the winners of the "first and sec ond games, Pine Ridge and Con don teams. It was a highly in teresting game from start to fin ish, and although the score ran high, 16 to 15, not one of the immense crowd present left the grandstand before the end of the game. It was a wonderful exhibition of balloon ascensions that the two teams handed out to their supporters and the ex citement was high in every in ning. Neither team was ahead any two innings in succession and long hits were many. That Pine Ridge won the game is due to the excellent pitching of Har lan. It was a case of the pitcher playing the game himself for his support was ragged and fn the last inning with the score tied it was his aafe hit into right that brought home the winning run. The batteries were: for Pine Ridge, Harlan, Kaesmyer and Hawes, and for Condon, Harts horn and Fitzmaurice. Lester Wade officiated as umpire and his decisions were impartial and satisfactory. The street amusements which were held on Saturday and Mon day; evenings were carried through in a madner .highly sat isfactory.' The winners of the different proceedings are as fol lows. 100 yard dash Lester Beeson: 3 legged race Fred Parrish and Will O'Rourke; Pie race Will O'Rourke; Fat mans racer-Henry Neal; Ladies walk ing race Mrs. Evan Anderson; Men over 50 P. L Morrill; Potato race James O'Rourke; Dust race -Will O'Rourke; 50 yard dash H. Fitzmaurice; 220 yard dash-C. Fitzmaurice 1st and IL Fitzmaurice 2nd; Riding contest Wm. Wehrli, Jr. The free dances which were held on Saturday and Monday night were attended by the larg est crowds ever gathered in the rink. The returns of the Jeffries-Johnson prize-fight which were announced by rounds at the ball grounds proved of great interest although the result was a disappointment There were no accidents, the crowd was orderly and everyone present went away feeling satis fied. Those who worked for the celebration have reason to feel proud of their efforts to provide a first, class celebration for the residents of the county. Do your own advertising. Make it a study.
