TUCSON WINS AGAIN.
The Third Game Won From
StringtoWn.
FL Paso viii Be Treated Likewise
on the 27th-Good
Playing

Victory has for the third time come
to Tucson club, the entire series of
games being given them with the game
yesterday.
The interest in the third contest had
waned somewhat, as Tucson had the
first two games. The attendance was
rather small.
Yesterdays game was not close enough
to make it very interesting. TIE score
was as follows:
Tucson. .........2 l 0 101 2-15
Strlngtown... 1 o / o / l 2 3 O. 9
f. Smith was in the box yesterday,
with W.Zsbriskie catching. The pitching
was excellent and bothered the String
town boys badly. In the ninth inning
Smith struck out the three best batters,
which effectually quenched any wild
hopes of at least one game.
Some OF TuCson's usual tricks were
played. Gaff, on second, hid the ball
when thrown ID him, getting it to first
IN time to put out a man leading off.
Nose Drachman had the breath
knocked out of him in collision with
the first beseman of the opposition.
Bieizel, Tucson's new man, was caught
between the third and home. By keep
ing rather close 20 the catcher, who had
the ball, yet out of reach, he slowly re-
treated till the catcher threw TO third
then he rushed by tie catcher and
scored. This so angered the man with
the ball that he struck the runner with
the ball.
Good fielding was done by Tucson.
TEE SECOND GAME.
Tucson. ... 3 2OO023 XII
String town. 2 O O4 90 l DO
The close score of the second game is
explained by bad errors on the part OF
Tucson. In the third inning two flies
were dropped by w. Zabriskie, one by
Hughes, foul by Nose Drach man and
Two grounders got past Pitcher Drach-
man. These errors gave four to the
Stringtown, and made the game doubt
full
Ii the ninth the anxiety was relieved.
One man was out on first. the second on
fly to Nose BRAKEMAN and the third
by hot lioer 10 Gaff, who threw to first
The game over the Tucson visitors
rushed into the diamond and made ex-
trayagant expressions Of their approval.
NOTES.
The StrinGtown club are gentlemanly,
showing all courtesy to the visitors
They took their defeat gracefully, say
ing they were undoubtedly beaten by
Arizona's best club.
Phoenix friends of the club took them
to points of interest about the falls, the
orange groves and elsewhere.
The catcher Of the Stringtown club,
Stapley, is fine player
The club called on the governor, who
congratulated them.
Saturday two roosters Before" aud
"After" were put up, as representing
Tucson. The Before" was was fine
lusty cock. The "After" was measly
affair, supposed to indicate what the
Tucson club would be after Strngtown
had got through with them. In Phoe-
nix they are poor prophets This was
also demonstrated by what the Herald
said Saturday:
"Unless the Tucson baseball boys have
imported a pitcher and have strength
eDed their team in other ways 1t is the
opinion of City Attorney Chalmers, au
expert ball player, that the Mesa boys
Will warm them up till they will go
home IN a very limp condition. He
thinks that instead of carrying the eagle
OF victory on their banners they will
bear tie coyote emblem OF defeat. In
other words the Mesa boys will have
them on the hip"
The Tucson club suffered considera-
bic with the heat.
Bets Of all kinds were refused. Nose
Drachman offered to bet 800 in gold to
$50 in alfalfa.
THE GREETING IN TUCSON.

PHOENIX OPINION.
Says the Repu blican:
Phoenix is Just now the battle ground
in baseball war between Stringtown
snd Tucson. Although a neutral power
her sympthies are divided between the
