The contest at CarrillO's Gardens +
this morning. previously announced as +
a ball game was called at the end Of
the seventh round. The police, who
had received inside information that
although they had been acting in a
most unruly manner. there was no real
I danger to be feared from the boiler l.
ms Fers and machinists, were seen ap-
preaching in force. Fearing their
presence would instill the umpire with
1.-THE courage of his convictions, and thus
rob the game of all interest it was
thought best to repair at once to the /
beer stand At late hour this after
neon the score had not all been /
counted but the committee appointed /
for that purpose plainly sympathized I
with the boiler-makers, and there Is
Iitt.e doubt that they will be declared /
the winners. There was report soon /
atter the cessasion of hOstilitles that
tha score was 16 to 8 in favor of the
b, iler-makers. but it IS thought this
arose from the fact that some one IN
th, crowd kept tally dMing the sixth
inning and confused the result with
the final score.
The machinists concede that owing
to q streak of bad luck they have been
ten porarily downed, but not van
quFfed They have already agreed to
play the boiler-makers i. return game
next Labor Day, and preparations will
be Immediately begun - make the
event complete success.
"Dinnis' Ford, who was borrowed
from the Tucson Grays especially for
the occasion, occupied the slab for the
boiler-makers. He was too much for
his opponents, the sum total of their
) efforts being but SO hits, one of which
, was of the scratch order. This hit,
which came in the fourth round, should
bv rights have been called q foul, since
it roasted in the foliage of one OF the
trees in left field, and just wouldn't
come down. If it had the men behind
Ford would have had it, for there were
no less than five of them there.
!, This instance of the presence OF an
[ ample force to effectively and without
: unnecessary effort subdue any ball that
y might happen along is but an illustra-
> ton of the splendid team work dis
: played by both sides. Theid line
e bucking was superb, and when either
side could get in front of the ball gains
, were made repeatedly. Against solid
!, phalanx of nine sturdy mechanics the
sphere could make no headway-un-
. less, as was occasionally the case, 1t
y happened to get there first.
= McGrew. who twirled throughout six
innings for the machinists without
q cracking a smile, was dangerously ef-
fective. He was the cause of no less
= than FIVE boiler-makers being carried
p to first on a stretcher, thus adding zest

stituted his policy of assimilation ear
