4 GRAND SUCCESS. Such Was the Verdict of Those Who Attended the Tourna-
 Ment of Sports.
A Gala Day in Globe---A Bad Day for Favorites-- The Pro-
 gramme in Detail.

especially, were profuse in their praise of Globes enterprise and of the hos pitality of her people. Certainly, more real entertainment was crowded into the twenty-four hours from Sat urday evening to dawn of night on Sunday than has been witnessed here for many years. People came from almost every part of Gila county to participate in the good time, and wis itors from the adjoining counties of Graham and Pinal swelled the throng. The cattlemen were especially numer- ous, attracted by the steer-tying and bronco-busting, and more expert lot of cowboys could scarcely be found in the Southwest.
 The inaugural event was the ball on Saturday night. The big rink was far too small for the throng that did hom- age to Terpsichore. The scene was m inspiring one, and the bevy of pretty girls, who glided gracefully through the mazes of the dance, won universal admiration, and many masculine heart was wounded by cupid's arrow. There was mettle in the heels of the dancers, and it was late hour when the company dispersed.
 At g o'clock Sunday morning the Graham County Athletics and the Globe base ball team appeared on the diamond. In the preliminary prac- tice the Athletics showed up to ad- vantage. They were a sturdy looking set of men aud handled the ball in a manner which indicated that they would prove worthy contestants. This impression was well founded.
 The visitors were first at the bat. May got his base on balls; Mercy ad- vanced him bag by long hit to left, which was neatly captured by Allison, and on 4. c. Alexander's single May scored; Alexander got home on passed ball, and a scratch hit by Kelly; Tomhn struck out, and J. L, Alex ander was called out for stepping out of bounds when striking at the ball.
 For Globe, Lord made base hit, but was caught at second, and the side re- tired without run. Globe continued to draw blanks until the fourth inning, when Davidson made base hit and, aided by Allison's fly-out and Q wild throw, scored the only run made by Globe.
 However, the game was well con tested up to the sixth inning, when the score stood tol In the sixth, Duesler, who had up to that time pitched good ball, broke down, and his support got rattled at the same time. The Athletics took advantage of the golden opportunity, and by three singles, a two-bagger, and sew eral errors, secured tallies, thus ex- tinguishiug the last hope of the home team, Davidson relieved Duesler in the middle of this disastrous inning, but could not stop the run getting The Athletics added one to their score in the seventh, and eight in the ninth by two doubles and single, aided bt errors, giving them total of 20 runs. Andy Alexander led in the run get ting, with total of five tallies, and caught a good game, and May, at short, put up a fine game. Mercy hit the ball twice for two bases. The star player of the occasion was Tomlin, who is credited with twelve strike outs. His pitching has never been cqualled here, and the defeat of the Globe team was largely due to his su- perior pitching. Had the pitching strength been equal, the contest would have been close and the result doubt ful.
 For Globe, Lord, Davidson, Allison and Blevins excelled in fielding. AL lison caught two long-hit flies, and Lord captured two foul flies which were difficult to reach. Holzman made a fine drive for three bases.
 Naturally, the Globe team and their friends were disappointed by so over whelming defeat, and two or three iracible individuals wrongly charged the umpire with favoring the visitors, which opinion is neither supported by facts nor shared in by unbiased per sons who witnessed the game. The reasons of their defeat were the in- vincible pitching of Tomlin, the fail. ure of the Globe nine to practice, and their consequent poor playing. The home club contains good material, but | can not expect to play winning ball | without practice.
 The Athletics played two soldiers, not members of their club, and with out whose assistance they might have | lost.
 Appended is the score;
 ATHLETICS.
