INSTITUTE
WINS AGAIN
SOLDIERS DEFEAT ROSWELL
BOYS AT BASE BALL IN
GAME YESTERDAY.
CREDIT TO BOTH SIDES
Institute Played Errorless Game so
Far as Costliness of Mis-plays Was
Concerned. Same Teams Play To
morrow, and Hagerman Plays the
Cadets Friday Afternoon.
Both the Roswell and Military In
stitute base ball teams are playing
good ball in the opening games of
the season,, and yesterday afternoon
when the cadets,-for the third time
this spring, defeated the town boys.
It was a game in which either side
might .well take pride. The score was
six to three, but the earned runs
were three to one in favor of the
Roswell team, which goes - to show
that the tows team lost the game on
errors.
Walker pitched tor the Institute,
and while eight hits were made off
of him, he pulled out of ugly holes
In a creditable manner. He struck
out eight and passed but one man.
Apolonio went into the box for Ros
well, and pitched the first three in
nings like a leaguer, only nine men
facing him. But in the fourth he let
down & little, and with two hits, two
errors, a stolen base and a base on
balls, two runs were made, and in the
fifth Big Jim went Into the box. By
a similar combination two more runs
were made off of Big Jim, and one
each 4n the seventh and ninth in
nings, all through the assistance of
errors.
Capt. Leland was the first man up
for the town team in the first, and
he knocked out a' home run. There
was nothing more doing for the Ros
well team until the fifth, when a base
on balls was followed by a sacrifice
hit and two hits, bringing in two
more scores. (Again and again they
had men on bases, but could not get
them around.
The cadets played a clean game,
the two errors by Conroy costing
nothing.
McCaslin, the new first baseman
for Roswell, showed that he was a
ball player, although his first game
without practice.

Martha Stone Hancock.
( Paper read by Mrs. "Fred J. Beck at
the dedication of memorial win
dows in the Christian church, Sun
day, March 22, 1908.)
Martha Stone Hancock was bom in
Clinton county, , Missouri, January
28th, 1832, and died January 28th,
1904, being seventy-two years of age
it the time of her death, and passing
iway on her birthday.
In 1864, being imbued with the
western spirit and .believing that the
West offered more opportunities to
he ambitious in acquiring a home
md a reasonable competency for old
age, she together with her husband,
faced the great West; and in that
year settled in Colorado, where they
remained until 1877, in which year
they removed to the Pecos Valley and
settled on what is now known as the
"Stone Farm," where she loved to
live and meet her friends.
While, we are unveiling this beau
Iful window to perpetuate the memo
y of Martha Stone Hancock, we can
truly say that it not only does that.
ut in a measure it reveals the char
icter of that splendid woman, whom
ill of us might do well to imitate.
Her good qualities were many:
among which we might mention the
fact that the building in which this
service is being held is. in a great
measure, due to her efforts in a sub
stantial way, and at a time when it
was most needed.
One of her chief -mottos, "Do unto
others as you would have them do
unto you," she put into execution ' id
lived up to it. Many of the afflicted
and needy were the recipients of her
charity, and, in fact, I doubt if any
were ever turned away.
Along the line of her church work,
she was ever ready and willing to
undertake any part. Being of a deter
mined nature, she believed that noth
ing in church work succeeded Jike
success, and worked with that aim in
view. In the early life of this church
it was quite a struggle for it to ex
ist, as many of the older members
can attest; yet Matha Stone Hancock
lever wavered or lost courage, but
paid the church would finally prosper.
When any kind of services were being
held at the church, her pew was rare
ly if ever vacant, notwithstanding in
clemency of the weather and living
three miles in the country. She lov
ed the church and its work.
The life of Martha Stone Hancock
is not only reflected in this church,
but also in her children, and her in
fluence" will bear fruition in genera
tions yet to come.
As a true index of this nohi wom
an, we say, "All who knew her best,
loved her most."
Important Notice.
Owing to the courtesy of
the. City Fathers, the Mock
Senate will hold its meeting
tonight at the COUNCIL
ROOMS, instead of the new
Baptist church. Remember the
change.
