Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1899-11-11

as the Grays are usually strong with
the stick the conclusion must be taken
| that Jones is an extraordinary pitcher.
About three hundred turned out to
| see the game. If it had been better ad-
vertised perhaps more would have
been attracted. The game was well
worth seeing. The strangers did their
best to win. but the home team played
all around them. Jones struck out ten
men and White, for the strangers,
struck out five. Ten hits were made
off Jones' delivery and White allowed
sixteen. The home team made but
two errors and the strangers fifteen.
I Phoenix made eight runs and Tucson
six. This is the game in nutshell,
and if it We're to stand as a fair test
of the skill of the two teams the odds
would be much in favor of Phoenix.
But one game is not a fair test of
| strength. and the strangers may have
better stuff in them than was apparent
yesterday.
The game opened with the strangers
in the field, and Hogan took up the
struggle for the home team. He found
the ball at the start and sent a high
one into center field where it fell into
Drachman's NIT. Jones followed but
failed to find the leather. He ran on
strikes and gained the first bag, going
to second when Cochrane made 4
single. COchrane's hit went to right
field and was fielded by Armstrong
Who threw wild to third allowing Jones
% score. COchrane in the meantime
vas doing some clever base running
nd got as far as the third bag. He
lied there watching Lackey strike out
and McGrath go out at first. For the
7trangers HartweH. who was formerly
( I Phoenix player. did not get TO first:
Perry struck out, Drachman hit TO
Tones and WIS out at first.
IN tine second the home team made
hree hits and three runs, and Hogan
made the only three base hit that was
made by the Phoenix team during the
game. Fielder sent a liner to Morse
who stopped it, and Collins sent the
ball hard against the fence f " a single
bag. BrawIey hit TO White who threw
! very wild to first allowing Brawley
and Collins to score. Chickenney got
70 first on a passed ball, and Hogan
made safe nit to center field for three
bags scoring Ch!ckenney. Jones sent
/ up a high one which fell in Dunn's

was at second Shen the side was re-
| tired.
The third was without runs OF either
( side. Lackey tried for the frat bag
! but failed, McGrath hit to short where
an error occurred to give him tie first
| bag, and he got to second on d passed
| ball, but was caught trying to gain

| the visitors Bolton tried to walk to
I first on pretense of being hit by the
I ball but his bluff was too appal ent and
! the crowd assisted the umpire in call
/ ing him back. He evidently had a
| bunch, for he came back only o strike
out. Armstrong tried TO knock Lackey
! off the first bag by a liner but the big
| man on first caught the hot lie with
! out even scorching his nit, and the
| batter swent back to the benches. Hart
