BASE BALL.
Strong Club Organized-Good Sport
 New Grounds.

The good ball being played by the Clifton team has awakened a new in-
 terest in the national game, which will be of great benefit 10 the club,
 ". 4. Pitt, one Of Clifton's most en,erprising citizens, started out one day last week and in short time rais- ed enough money to purchase the grand stand for the club, and also inn prove the grounds. A meeting Of base ball enthusiasts was held Saturday night last al the Clifton Hotel, and a permanent organization effected by Nit simms manaa r. All business
 men will be asked to join the club, and monthly dues made sufficient to at all times have a few hundred dollars in the treasury. to be used in bringing in all of the best teams of the terri tory. On Monday work was com meuced to repair the old grounds, and men and teams have been busy all week. All of the stones have been gathered and taken away and q layer of dirt several inches thick spread over the entire diamond and field. The grand stand will also be improved and the grounds fenced. When the work is com pleted the grounds will be equal to any in the -Dtri;ory. The re- ccipts of the grand stand in the future will go to the club. The price of seats for local games will be 9 cents, but when clubs from distance play, the price will be 50 cents, which is reason able enough. 1t is estimated that it will cost nn an average Of about S2O0 to bring in outside teams and this money must be guaranteed or the teams will not come. It is expected that the Bis bee team will be here week from Sunday. After that dates will be made for the Cananea, Tucson, Fl Paso and other teams. Clifton now has nine that can hold its own with the best Of them.
 A special officer will be hired in the future to keep order at all games and parties who do not conduct themselves properly will be arrested. There will be no drinking nor improper language allowed in the grand stand or on the grounds. Ladies need not hesitate to attend the games in the future.

SUNDAYS GAME.

The game Sunday last betw cen Clifton and Morenci was witnessed by small but enthusiastic audience . MOrenci had new man in the box. but the boys had TO trouble in finding him, and after the second inning he was taken out and another new twirlcr put in, who finished out the game It seemed to be off day with the Clifton boys. Their infeIding was bad. They seemed to be out of luck all around, and if one could judge from the temper of the spectators, Clifton got the worst Of it from the umpire. The crowd did not hesitate to hurrah the him on several decisions, which is most unusual with a Clifton audi cnce. The umpire, took it in good part, and controlled his temper. Sey- eral Of the Clifton players, however, will object to his umpiring in the future. The result Of the game was 6 to 10 in favor of Morenci.
 There was no kicking or sq Iabbling among the players, and the game pass ed off very pleasantly. Minor Simms pitched q splendid game for the Cliff ton nine, and he was ably assisted by Woods as catcher.

4 Miraculous Escape.

r. M. Ballis, who runs oolble-
 headed gas engine. that drives an air com pressor, met with an accident Tuesday, which came near being fatal.
 He was cleaning the engine when the set screw on the main shaft caught in his shirt about the center Of the bacs. The shaft was turning at the rate Of about l60 revolutions minute. Mr. Ballis screamed for help. and some one who heard him stopped and reversed the engine, but Ballis had been whir.ed around several times, and his person stripped o' a.l clothing except shoes. For a time it was supposed tba: his in- iurie7 were fatal, bu; it seems that no bones were broken, and 1t l. thought that he is not injured internally. He is BOW ut the hospital and l. doing well. His body was bruised from head to foot, and the wonder is that he was not instantly killed, a. the space in which his body revoIved is not more than l- inches on either side Of tho shalt He .s q small man, otherwise he would have been crushed to death during the first revolution or the wheel. He remembers making at least two revolutions with the shaft, and thought his time had come. His many friends in the camp are glad to know that he is recovering, and will soon be able to at tend tO business again.

STORE VS WORKS.

What promises to be the most cx- citing game of the season will be pull ed off Sunday next on the new grounds between the boys from the A. C. store and the men from the works and rail- road. This arrangement divides the first nine about evenly between the
 new teams, both Of which will fill out with other players. A considerable amount Of feeling has been worked up over the game, and both sides are confident of victory. The ERA has it ton authority from the store) that betting is 100 to % in favor of the store team. George Fraser, manager Of the team from the works, is so con- fident of victory that he has wagered keg Of beer on the result with the manager of the store team. The beer will not be served on the ground. The lineup of the teams will be as follows:
