FL Paso ous Of their time at bat.
But the game is lost and now the
same two teams are trying for cOnclu-
sions on the same field before large
crowd. There was some bitter feeling
against the umpire that he should call
the game when he did, for although IL
was getting late stiIl il was plenty
light enough to play at lesst one more
inning. Both teams 1t times played
both brilliant and poor ball, but the
game was close enough to be interest
ing until the last, and the many root
ers remained loyal to the home team
II for no other reason than that they
were playing In very hard luck.
With three men On bases and two
outs Tom Besll threw to fret, but the
ball was high and bit some obstruction
and bounded over the fence, allowing
all three men TO score. Later on
Jacoby threw wild TO first and the ball
got lost 10 the sand and three more
men got In. OF course there is DO ex-
cuse for these throws, but ninety. nine
times out of a hundred only one man
would have scored.
Ell Paso led of, and Captain Krause,
the first man up. smashed out q pretty
single to right center Jscoby could
not advance him but McCue hit out
a single and Captain Krause was
caught at the plate. Sullivan was
the third out. Tucson Cos one man
In the nrst on . base on balls, q stolen
base and an error.
FL Paso scored two runs in her half
of the second. Hansen was the fret
man up and drew his base on balls,
then "Old Cy Young" came up and
had to dof his Dap to the desfening
cheers from his many admirers In
the stand and bleschers. But the
best he could do was To strike out.
Hansen stole second and Baall was safe
on an infeld error. Irwin drove long
ny 10 center and Hansen scored, Beell
coming in on a wild throw to catch
him at third. Pritchsrd was an easy
put. Tucson Rot in three unearned
ruus In their half of the second and the |
game wss getting Interesting.
Captain Krause again WAS the first |
nan up and was hit by the pitcher.

md was hit with pitched ball, and to
he delight Of the hundreds of people

ingled and Jscoby scored.
YOUNG MAKES A HOME RUN.
With one man gone and two men on
ases Cy Young again came 10 the bat
mid the applause Of the rooters. he
pulled on . few 70 get the pitcher tired
nd then smashed out home run to
lght, and the crowd In the stands
early went Wild and many rushed out

'on 80 many games by his timely hit
ng. Beall went to first on balls and
ole second bus the next two men
ould not bring him In.
Tucson could do nothing in their
me up and Ell Paso failed to score in
re fourth. But Tucson won the game
, their half Of the fourth on four little
.ngles, two bases on balls and two
lid throws, getting six men in and
living them such a lead that the Colts
,uld not overcome it.

Then 10 WAS all over but the Raging =
, the umpire, who had called the
ANA at the request of the Tucson c
oys. True be had q right to call the c
anne but IL ~ss not policy to do so at t
hat time. Aside from that MIR. Smith 4
