TAUNTON, Mass, June 3.-Stouch g.
Company, whitewashers, of Pawtucket
played star engagement at the ball park
yesterday afternoon. They got down to
work early in the contest and spreaded it
on thick to the very close much to the dis
comnture of the 500 Tauntonians who were
present to witness the performance. No
body went out to the park with the ex-
pectation of seeing the locals win the
game against the willow wielders from
Pawtucket, but few thought that such
bad defeat would be recorded.
Taunton was never in the hunt. The
boys from Pawtucket played fast and
snappy ball, which made the homesters
appear like fit subjects for the kinder
gartea class in comparison. Not single
misplay was made by the Rhode Islanders
and the way in which they whisked the
ball around the diamond was decidedly re-
freshing to lovers of clean and scientific
ball playing. The entire Pawtucket in
field were in the game every moment and
it must have been pleasant to McCafferty
for the gilt-edge support that was accorded
him.
Capt. Irwin and his associates were un-
able to connect with the benders served by
this young man McCanerty. Not until
the fifth inning did the Tauntons land on
the ball safely and from that time out
base hits by the Tauntons were as scatter
ed as telegraph poles along the line of a
country railroad. Si;-ewas the total Of
safe ones secured of McCafferty and two
OF this number would require consider
able nursing to make them appear re-
spectacle In the base hit column.
McDougall was on the rubber for the
home team and be was pie for the Paw
tuckets. They transposed his curves into
scorching singles and rattling two-bag-
gers almost without effort. Every Paw
tucketite had his eye on the ball and when
hits were needed they simply waltzed to
the plats and drove out the sort of hit
called for by Capt. stouch.
The Pawtuckets made four double plays,
closing the game with decidedly pictur-
esque play, In which the entire infield par
ticipated.
Taunton could not squeeze q run over
the home plate, and the nine innings OF
heavy swiping by Manager Twins able
bodied men resulted in naught. It was
the snappiest exhibition of the season
on the part Of the Pawtuckets--a II
seemed to be the general opinion that the
Rhode Islanders are soon due for the front
seat Of the New England band wagon

The New England League ofllcials have
declared Monday mornings game in this
city with the Brocktons to be tie game
and the standing has been corrected.
Manager Burnham and President Keith
went to Boston and kicked like two ballet
girls over Umpire Breckenridge's decision,
with the result that the game was declared
draw.
This docs not settle the matter by any
means and Manager Smith will bring the
question up at the next meeting OF the
League. There Is no reason why the game
should not count as win for Pawtucket,
~ 1t counted for a win for Brockton last

TERRIFIC BATTING.

Princeton Sluggers Played Havoc with

PRINCETON, June 3.-The second game
of the Princeton Brown series was played
yesterday afternoon on the varsity field and
was won by the tigers by the score of % to
10. Both teams put up very ragged game
In the field, and after the fourth inning
the game was slow and uninteresting.
7 The Princeton sluggers had decidedly
easy time of 1t with the Brown twirlefs.
Wilson pitched hsady game for Prince

In the third inning Summersgill began

It took the old-timers only one inning to
solve him, and In the nith the slaughter

GOVERNOR McCORD.

The Arizona gubernatorial contest was ended yesterday by the appoint ment of Myron H. McCord. There is probably no man who ever aspired to office in Arizona who has more ardent friends or more determined enemies than Col. McCord, and naturally the struggle engendered s great deal of animosity and factious quarrel within the Republican party in Arizona. It remains to be seen whether the party dissention will continue after Mir. Me Cord takes his seat, but the probability IS that 1t can not be altogether over- come. The new governors ability is not questioned by even his opponents, but his political associations since com ing to Arizona are open to criticism.
 The SILVER BELT favored Burt Dun lap, a the candidate whose appoint ment would reconcile all party differ ences and give the greatest satisfaction to the people of Arizona generally. We have no desire however to dispar- age Col. McCord or say aught that might hamper his administration. We believe in fair play, and hold ourselves free to applaud or criticize the acts of public officials as in our opinion they merit.

The late hold-up of taxpayers by the prodigsl Nineteenth legislative assem- ply is not likely to reward the treasury raiders, who are now puzzling their brains as how to obtain the swag they fondly hoped to flch from tax payers, and having discovered that while there's will there's a way" they have concluded to petition con gress, for their especial benefit, to retire the Harrison Act, which holds terri tories in check from squandering the hard earned substance of their citizens beyond fixed percentage of the terri tory's taxable wealth. Having ex. ceeded that limit by previous nppro- priations they are about to implore the federal congress to help them out of the slough of despondency in which they are submerged.

The Graham Guardian, after quoting from the SERVER BELT in reference to the refusal of Gila county to pay the special tax lcvies for the Normal school and University, says: 'It is very probable that the supervisors of this county will also refuse to make the levy. Wc believe there is no people on earth more friendly to education than those of Graham county, but they do not believe in paying money out for luxury not required for the advance mcnt of education. A stop must be put to extravagant legislative appro- priations, and if it can be done no other way than to refuse to pay them when they are unlawful, we would say that the counties are justified in re- fusing. Now is splendid time to start the ball rolling"

The Silver City, N. M., Eagle, speculating upon the railroad problem in the southwest, says: ''There is a prospect of an outlet from this part of the territory to the west. Since the purchase of the Atlantic & Pacific by the Santa Fe it has been determined to connect Phoenix with Globe by rail. This will bring the end of the line within a few miles of the great coal fields on the San Carlos reserva- ton and within about l50 miles of this city. The officials of the road have succeeded in keeping the fact that the road would be built to Globe very close within official circles. Between the Silver City branch of the Santa Fe and Globe IS rich country which has not been overlooked by the Santa Fe peo- pie, and it is more than probable that the gap between the two towns will be closed within very few months. Such road would open the richest section of the Gils valley and would be a valuable feeder to the system"

It appears that the fight inaugurated by the SILVER BELT against the un- lawful appropriations and tax levies for the benefit of the Normal school and University, has assumed vast propor- tions, ss revealed by the Arizona cor respondent of the Los Angeles Hesald, James H. Critics, of Phoenix, who says:
 "The last legislature of Arizona gave appropriations to the Territorial Univer- sity and Territorial Normal school in the shape of an added territorial tax levy that would bring in about $26, 900 per annum for two years. The funds were to be used for the completion of the dor mitory at the university and for the completion of the new Normal building The money for the purpose was voted out of the territory's general fund, to be replaced by the income from the ex- tra tax. Now it is announced from a half dozen of the counties that they will not respond to the extra tax levy, the claim being made by several county attorneys and by their boards of super visors that the levy is in violation of the Harrison limitation sct, placing sddi- tional debt upon the counties in excess of the 4 per cent limit prescribed by congress. Gila county was the leader iu this, having failed to make levy for similar taxes prescribed by the legisls- ture of two years ago."
 Attorney General Wilson is greatly exercised over the revolt of half the counties in the territory against the at. tempt to mulct them for the benefit of cormcrant public institutions, and de- clares he will institute suits against the supervisors of the defaultiug counties, and will surely bring them to time. The assumption of the learned attorney general that the legislature has power to make appropriations and special tax levies ad ibitum is bslderdash. The Harrison Act is g bar against such vicious legislation, as has been re peatedly decided by the supreme conrts of Arizona and Oklahoma, and of the United States supreme court as we'll. If the attorney general is so burdened with knowledge he should open an in- telligence office.

puaH,s INTEREST IN THE LIVE
 STOCK LAW.

Our criticisms of the new live stock law seems to have greatly disturbed the Southwestern Stockman, which is not to be wondered at, since the editor of that paper has personal interest in bolsterirg up that absured enactment, holding as he does the position of sec- retary to the live stock board for winch services he draws salary. There is still another reason why Mir. Pugh is interested in seeing the law sustained. In an unguarded moment he showed his hand by soliciting the stocklnen of Arizona to advertise in the Stockman, and in order to make his plea more effective said, with an air of artlessness, ''It has been brought to our attention this week that the new law just passed with reference to branding, or the use of brands makes it necessary on the part of cattlemen to have their brands more widely known than at present, or they run risk of having calves branded in wrong iron, and which they could not claim, according to law. " The Stockman urges that, to avoid any misunderstanding arising under this provision of the law, stockmen who have not already done so should send in their brands to be advertised.
 Of course Pugh publishes 6 live stock paper for the money there is in it, and not from any philanthropic desire to benefit the stockmen, but at the same time it would seem to be the part oi wisdom, if not duty, for class paper to work for the interests of that class, and oppose all measures not calculated to work for the general good. The revised live stock laws of Arizona arc full of inconsistencies and absurd pro
 visions which can not be enforced and will be declared unconstitutional ana void when brought to the test in tho courts. And we will remind the Stock
 man that the Sanitary board has nc power to interpret law as it would hay. its readers believe. Courts are estab lished for that purpose and they vii construe the law when occasion requires
 The cattle stealing case arising il Graham county to which we referred iu our issue of the 9th is au actual fact and suit has been entered in the distric court of Graham county by the az grieved party, citizen of New Mexico to recover his cattle which were stoler under the cover of the Arizona law

The Gazette calls attention to the fact that Arizona has nearly $500, 900 indebtedness in the shape of funding bonds which have not been disposed of, and which indebtedness continues to draw 10 per cent interest. As Ari- zona has loan commission especially created to fund the territorial indebtss edness into 5 per cent bonds, it must be concluded that they have used due diligence in the endeavor to find pur- chaser and have failed.
