 more fans there to see the first game | of the Phoenix-Tucson series. It was | a good game. distinguished for heavy batting and good field work Chicken
 ny stole bases like a sprinter, and the
 fast work of Moves, the new catcher for the home team, made the game lively. The game was not called until after o'clock, but it was all over a few minutes after the last rays of the sun left the diamond. Tyler pitched five innings and Jones was put in the box to relieve him. Armstrong pitched for the visiting team and his support was good. Lopez caught the game for the visitors. The Phoenix team did some heavy batting and the three
 runs made in the fifth and those ot the seventh were due to clear batting. There were few errors on either side Cochran, who was knocked out of the foot ball game on Thursday, played second for the Phoenix team, and the only sign he showed of weakness was in his stick work. He played a fine
 game at second, making one put out, which he ran into right field to ac- complish. The visitors are strength ened and are in condition to put up first-class ball. It was the heavy hit ting of the home team that won the game yesterday.
