WATERPROOF
The Envincibles Rubbed Up Against
 the Real Thing.

Napoleon at the end of his bril- liant reign of one hundred days lowered his proud standard on the fatefuI field of Waterloo. The h. vincible ball team of Yuma after meeting all corners and defeating them with the neatness of a cat dispersing a bunch of rats, surrend- cred the penant of their victories Sunday afternoon to an aggregation of lightning strikers from Somer- ton by a score of 13 to II.
 The entire town turned out on masse to witness the annihilation of the town boys. Every body and his friend was there, :and there was no limit to enthusiasm, but the enthusiasm was all for the country boys. The widest kind of scenes prevailed and excitement ran riot. Tin horns, tin cans and stentorian voices added to the din. Every body yelled: The coaehers yelled, the players yelled, the runners yelled, the rooters yelled, the au- dience yelled ard pandemonlum reigned supreme. The umpires, Dr. Greenleaf and Joe Redondo, at tempted to Quell the obstreperous players, but after barely escaping with their lives decided to let lem holler.
 The following is the personnel of the contestants: Yuma:-Martir, catcher; Balsz, pitcher; Coons, 1st base; F. Meeden, 2nd base; Riley. 3rd base; Ramirez, shortstop; c Meeden, center field; Shorey, right field; B. Needen, left field. Somer- ton:-Harris, catcher; Marshall, pitcher; Greenhouse. 1st base; Flood, 2nd base; J. Lyber. 3rd base; Huff man, shortstop; Williams, right field, R. Lyber, center field; c. Lyber, left field.
 The Somertons went to the bat first and in the excitement that prevailed scored four runs, and Wow! Wow! Wow! !! Talk about your talk abouts, but didn't we yell! The famous volunteer charges in Cuba wouldn't be 0 marker! The Yuma boys were sorely rattled. Beau" Webber, mounted upon a iackass and armed with tin horn. got even on his life. He was fully repaid for his losses in the Fortuna game.
 The Invincibies took the bat with a bold front, but Marshall, who is usually an adept at pitching hay, pitched a couple of balls down the line, and boulders hurled from a catapult would not have produced more terror. His deliberation and the grim determination of his vis- age put the fear of heaven in the hearts of the Invincibles and they could not find him. Balsz and Martin struck out and Ramirez went to the bat and all hopes cen- tered in him. But, Diff! ard out he goes; then the whole earth shakes again with resounding cheers.
 The Somertons scored three more runs and it stood thusly until the sixth inning when the Yuma boys scored a few runs, then an omin0us silence lowered o'er the scene. But defeat Is sometimes victory and the sympathy of the Yuma public once gained the boys will march on to new conquests.
 Flood, arrayed in yellow suit. one white stocking and one black, the word poison printed across his bosom and a skull and cross bones on the bosom of his pants, was a veritable hoodoo, and did more than his share ts turn the tide of victory.
 IL was the most exciting game ever played in Yuma and served admirably to revive the Tagging interest ia baseball matters. Such Sunday afternoon entertainments are good things and the boys should be encouraged by the citizens of the town.
 A return game will be played next Sunday and an equally cxcit- ing time is promised.
