Special to Review) il Douglas, March 16.-Over fifteen { hundred people, the largest attendance of the year, thronged the side lines of the Douglas football field on Sunday las and watched the Bisbee giants de feat the home team by score of six teen to naught. Five hundred Bisbee- [ ties, wearing streamers of purp.e and white, cheered themselves hoarse at every play, and a few of the mem bers endeavored to back their enthu- siasm with the coin of the realm. But l few bets were placed, and these at even money in most cases. The host of Douglas admirers never lost faith | in the unfaltering endeayors of the orange and black to stem the tide Of defeat and turn it into victory. Their favorites fought valiantly, dis putting every inch of Bisbee's advance, but the boys from the copper camp were simply too much for Douglas; too heavy, too well trained and too week versed in their own particular style of play for the smelter city team to overcome, play they ever 50 hard. It was pitiful to see the lighter team gradually beaten down relentlessly.
 While the Douglas ends and backs were quick to divine the play Of tnelr opponents, they seldom were able to get the runner before he was pushed over or through the line. On end runs Bisbee was not so successful. however for time after time did Wormel dive through interference to drop his man for a loss. Still the longest run of the game was a long clean skirting of Douglas eft end by the lanky Wilson for a gain of thirty-ive yards. Aside from this one instance. Bisbee. when ever she gained a yard, had to fight for every inch of the ground.
