WAS 4 LIVELY BALL GAME
phoenix Won inc FirSt Game of inc
 Series Yesterday.

There was an interesting game of baseball at the Phoenix park yesterday afternoon, and it was witnessed by a large crowd. It was the first game of the Trilby-Phoenix series, and Phoenix won the game by three runs, the score standing 16 to 13. The Trilby players were assisted by Q number of locals. The crowd expected a good game, and it was not disappointed.
 The Phoenix team began the game, with Slaughter in the box for the wis itoIs and Moore catching. Mosser was the first man to reach the first bag, which he secured on an error at first, McMahon following with a h4gn ball. which was caught at third. Brawley sent the ball to center for one bag, and there was double play when Jones pounded the ball to Slaughter and went out at first after Mosser was stepped at second. The visitors failed also to score in their half. Jones struck out Moore, Carroll bunted and failed to get to first, and Brown sent the ball to Mosser at second and was out.
 Moore secured hrst in the second, sending up high one, which Slaughter caught but let fall. Hartwell and Rip pey made singles, and Hartweu was out at second, Chickenney and Arndsteen striking out. Four runs were made by ths visitors in their half by clever base running and errors by the home team. Anderson made a two-bagger, and Gardner, a local player who assisted the Trilbys, scored him by a two-base hit, Slaughter failing to find the ball. There were three men on the bases when Carroll walked off first and en- gagged the attention of Jones, while Ma jors stole home, and errors on the part of the home team allowed Gardner and Scott to get in. Brown retired the side.
 Phoenix made five runs In the tn1rd

A SAD DEATH AT GLOBE.
Mrs. Tatton Follows Her Husband to
 the Life Beyond.

Mrs Marguerite Tatton, wife of the late Joseph Tatton, died yesterday afternoon after lingering and painful illness Mrs. Tatton's decline dated from the death of her husband in Chi cage cn March 20, 1897, and which un- toward event robbed life for her cf most that was worth living for. Every thing possible was done to win her back to life and health, says the Silver Belt, but to no avail.
 Mrs. Tattcn was a woman of many fine qualities, and her death is greatly regretted by all who knew her. The case is the more deplorable for the req son that five children-the eldest about twelve years of age, and the youngest mere babe-are left to fight life's bat- ties, bereft Of a loving mothers so1cl- tous care and wise counsel.
