 STILL BETTER. - Some time ago it was stated in this paper that the
 olive crop of this valley had been sold to Charles P. GTogan of Los Angeles
 and that he intended to ship the fruit
 to that city for the purpose of pressing
 out the oil. It is understood now that
 he has changed his plans and will
 erect the necessary machinery for that
 work somewhere in the valley, prob
 ably either at Glendale or Phoenix.
 This new enterprise will be welcomed
 and no doubt prove an inspiration to horticu1turists to engage more exten- sively in olive raising. The crop this year amounts to about forty tons, the
 product of the ranches of w. J. Mur- l phy and the Arizona Water company. BASE BALL IN TUCSON. The second game of base ball, played Fri day, between the Tucson Grays and the Los Angeles team, resulted in a
 victory for the coast boys, though they
 won out by an eyebrow, the score standing 10 to g. There was even a
 larger and more enthusiastic crowd
 present than on the first day, and both
 sides were well represented by rOoters
 The game seemed to turn on the
 eighth inning when a TucsCn man
 failed to hit the ball. The result was
 disastrous. The Star commenting on
 the event, says: Splendid batting
 was done by the Grays in the eighth.
 but to little purpose. Dick Kelley scored. Three men were left on bases through the failure of Armstrong, who was at the bat, to bat the ball, the latter going cut on strikes. This in
 cident was particularly unfortunate, as tEo scales seemed about to turn i'll favor of the Grays, and could this above mishap have been averted the result of the game would have been in favor of the home team.''
 A BUSINESS CONTROVERSY. - There was a spirited controversy yes terday morning about Il o'clock at the National Bank of Arizona corner be- tween W. R. Reno and M. J. Percival regarding the condition of business. Mir Reno handed MT. Percival enc on his left temple. It was an up5etting, but not a convincing argument, though it was delivered with 50 much fluency that MT. Percival leaned has tily against an iron post, which made another welt on the other side of his face. Notwithstanding the ircn posts corroboration Of MT. Reno's violent theories, MT. Percival still declined to be convinced and referred the matter later in the day to Recorder Jobs, who Immediately appointed an hour to hear MT. Renc. MT. Reno appeared and said the dispute was all settled. As soon as possible after the cOntro~ versy with MT. Percival, he went to see Justice Johnstone and got his views at a cost of S5. Recorder Jobs was not sure that the conclusion reached by Justice Johnstone, how ever sound, was final. He referred the case to the city attorney, and told MT. Reno that he would communicate with him this morning if he thought there was any more arbitIating needed. Somebody asked MT. Reno cut of court why he had hit MT. Percsval. MT ] Rene replied that he was a slow thinker and hit before he thought.
