JULY FOURTH FITTINGLY
CELEBRATED AT i’OARTHY
Large Crowds Assemble From Surrounding
Districts To Enjoy Big Program Of Sports
On Satin day Inst the popul
ation ofMcCarthy suddenly swel
| ed to the proportions of a metro
l polis as the surrounding country
| negan to pour m its people to
I play and make merry and other
.vise celebrate - the greatest day
ox American histoiy.
J he sports committee had
performed their duties well and
dished up a fine prograiy of spo
■ rtfor young and old.
The baseball game between
McCarthy and Kennecott was the
big attraction of the day, and
seldom lias a better game been
witnessed on the local diamond.
Both teams were certain of vict
ory and were nothing loath to
back their opinion with 'iron men’
as a result of which many Kenne
cott fans are poorer if not wiser.
McC arthy carried off the long
end of a 6 II score but not until
the final inning was the game
decided ana had it not been for
several infield ei rors on the part
of Kennecott a different story
might have been told. McCarthy
was strengthened by the acquisi
tion of C. E. Warter for the mou
nU and Geo. Steele behind the
bat, both of whom hail from Cor
dova and they had the game well
in hand at all times. The twins
played their usual brilliant game
for Kennecott and a little better
support might have chalked up
another victory for them.
McCarthy also won the tug
o-war, their superior weight giv
ing them a comparatively easy
victory over their Kennecott riv
als.
A drizzle of rain which com
me need in the early evening put
m damper on tho remainder of
the outdoor events but only serv
ed to increase the success of the
dance which continued into the
morning hours. The Kennecott
orchestra supplied excellent mu
sic.
