2 I.av away our little baseball suitIets,
 For we will need them no more;
 i.ay away our little baseball batiets,
 For we have failed to score,
 Let those who have tears prepare tc shed them. il they have not already done so. But the best way to drowr sorrow these war,n summer days Is ir a roaming bumper of leor, and it i; justice to say that is the popular method in Yuma. You may talk o the nectar of the gods, draughts ot Hiplocrene CT "draughtS from the spring which flows through the mea- dow across the road," but for soul satisfying, solrow-disp9iling beverage pass us d sparkling soien of the Dutch mans national elixir, especially when Old Sol is engaged in a desperate endeayor to soak some Of the original sin out of us poor mortals. But this Is Aggression.
 The rays of the sun Sunday after noon pounded down upon the meagre ribs of Old Mother Earth with that same unrelentlessne> with which only an Arizona sun can beat down, but the extreme torpidity did not deter the population of Yuma from gather ing around the famous baseball dla- mond that has been the scene of so many ignominlous defeats and glori- ous victories. The Invincibles entered upon the season lite roaring Nu- indian lion but retire as meek as spring lapb.
 The Yuma team was badly crippled by tle absence and sickness of ml re than haIt of its players, and entered the contest with q presentiment ot the consequences, but simply played for the entertainment Of the people Balsz is absent, Shuckman, Coons and Charley Meeden were on the sick list all week and felt very little like play ing, but he boys went willingly to the slaughter like sheep led to the butch CTS shambles. Charley DeCerse play ed center field for the Yuma boys.
 Martin, Riley and Ramirez played an excellent game and kept the score down until the latter part Of the con test. Shannahan made good play or two at the shortstop's position and also made a costly error or two.
 The Yuma boys failed to score until the ninth inning, when Ramirez made & noble dash to win run and blot out the ignoming of a goose egg He was on second with two men out and the prospects seemed discouraging for score of one. But like Horatio at the bridge, the fate of battle depended on him and he meant to save the day or die. lie stole third and then slid down to the home plate like a streak of greased lightning. "6afe!" said the umpire. and Louie was the hero of the day. Some were base enough to in innate that the umpire stretched point in calling the runner safe, but even if such was the case 1t was just ifable inasmuch as Louie deserved the run for making such a noble effort.
 The only new acquisition to the team that played previously again t the Yuma boys was Greenhouse of Fortuna, who played first base-and he played great game, too. Wooley teheI and hIs wild and woolly cul- yes proved too much for even Barney, the famous. Harris was verltable stone wall behind the bat and ball never had too much whiskers On It to escape him. Marshall ms rshaled around the diamond 8 couple of times and took care of second base. Herold in left field, like th9 herald Mercury, oaly touched the high spots when in D lrsuit of "fy". Flood like rapid flowing river, overAowed his true course when racing around the diamond, but made his runs count just the same Ivberqer in center field. Brinley in right field and Shorey on third, each took care of their respective positions and added glory to the victory.
 Take it all together the game was a D tcher and catcher's contest. And most of the runs made by the oppoS- ing nine were made on errors. At the close of the game the score stood s to 1 in favor Of the Nondescripts.
