THE THIRD GAME. - The Tucson
GrayS are enthusiastic over the out
come of the series Of three base ball
games played with the Los Angeles
team. They won the third game by a
score of 4 to g. The Star says:
with a game to their credit On Fri
day, to 1, one against them on Sat
urday, 10 to 9, it devolved upon the
Greys t. take the final on Sunday from
the Los Angeles team. They had to
do It to first please the fair sex and
thereafter the cranks. That audience
on Sunday was certainly larger than
the one that gathered in the base ball
park a month ago tt, see the Phoenix
colors 6roop Everybody seemed to
be there. The game was the best seen
on the local ground, being almost err
roriess. Tyler was a mystery, and
while he would pitch slow balls they
were even harder to find than the
cannon ball. 1t was an all round
good game and the Greys weren't sure

A BOY KILDED.-;Vct just yet, but
that will be the nature of a writeup
that will appear in this paper some fine
morning in the near future if some
thing is not done to restrain the play
full urchins that insist en- tickling the
S. F. P. & P. rolling stock with
straw. They gather on the track in
front of the Depot every night to see
the train come in, and vie with each
other in seeing how long they can
stand on the rails without being run
over. If the engineer were to stop
every time he sees a kid on the
track it would take him an hour to
make the run up from the freight
house. AS he does not, he has to take
chances on being the cause of. some
fond father negotiating with an under
taker- When the trains leave the sta
ton it is fun for the boys to hang on
the steps for few rods Just to see
who can hit the ground the hardeS'-
when they fall off. All this is fine fun
till some one gets killed, and th3n
there will be a world of criticism.
The officers can run the boys away,
but they come right back again. There
is an excellent opportunity for parents
to do a little corrective work and there
are plenty of peach tree sprouts Cb-

KIND DEEDS LIVE. An act of
harcism was performed a. few days
ago by Mrs. Laurence Sheppard CT this

reached Pueblo last Thursday. The

Dard not tie attempt the Journey, but
she had promised Mrs. Smith that if it
