On July 24, 1902, the Lake County newspaper the Herald Democrat reported, “Quite a number of Leadville rooters will probably accompany the local players to Glenwood Sunday. The second game of the series of three games for which $250 a side has been posted will be played. The Leadville nine has won one game and if the Glenwood Springs team should win Sunday, the deciding game will be played at Aspen.”
