It was acknowleNI oS the majority of the people Vno at at tended the games that CliftSr Has the best team. but when thN are handicapped by an umpire whCS Toes h"I' not know the rules of the game. keS are up against it.
 Several of the Clifton sports Eost money on the first game, but wei unable to place cent on either r,,r.eC second or third games. This shC very plainly which is the best te; Ill in the eyes of the people. a There were several sports arou M Tucson who made d bluff by offeri to bet S2j0 that Tucson could bel Clifton two games out of three L. the Clifton diamond, but when their bet was taken by 4 prominent Clifton citizen and raised to 5000 they got [ cold feet. Any time that the Tucson team can skin Clifton two out of three games on the Cllf- ton diamond they can win 5000. Manager Pitt will challenge Tucson for q series of games to be pulled off any time after next Sunday. If they don t want to play for the sport. all the money that they wish to bet will be covered. Any old thing to get the games. If these games are pulled off it iS very doubtful if the Tucson team will score at all. as the Clifton team is now one of the last est things that ever struck Arizona To prove this she iS ready to meet all corners, and if Fl Paso or Al buquerque would like to have dose they can get it by applying to the manager of the Clifton base ball club.
 FRIDAYS GAME.
 The game Friday was more of q preliminary than anything else. aS the Clifton bows had not quite re- covered from the trip the day be fore. although it i> said their prac- ticc before the game was perfect. The first dispute arose over the um- pirc. Tucson had prepared several weeks for the occasion. but failed to secure an umpire. In fact nobody in the town of Tucson would umpire and the result was that the captain of the Tucson team umpired in uniform, something that was never known in ball game. Clifton started off with DOran and Patterson as battery and the first nine balls that crossed the plate were too much for Tucson Clifton scored three runs the first inning and gave their opponents q Shut-out. Clifton was shut out and Tucson made three runs. After the second inning the umpire would not give Pat the corners, which is his strong suit. and Pat be- came angry and lost control of him. self and in the fourth inning allowed Tucson to make nine scores. He walked out of the box and Mike Brue baker filled his place and did some good work. but the game was lost. The score was as follows:
 Hn9s H,s ..... ....:....... S-s S-s Tucson

 Batteries Doron and Patterson and Bruebaker for Clifton: Woods and Farrow and Kar%er for Tucson.
 SATURDAYS GAME.
 Saturdays game was ball game. but judging from what the Tucson papers said about it. it did not amount to much. The Clifton boys were worked up over the game the day before and were prepared to give the Greys chase for their laurcls. which they did hy recording nine successive goose eggs to their credit and making six scores for themselves. It was q walk over and at no stage of the game did Tucson have ghost of d show. Clifton de mouStrated its superiority beyond doubt when it swiped up the Stars pets to the tune of O-6 and the Star editor felt so bad about it that he wrote up the game in very few lines by say ing that the game did not amount to much. He offered as an excuse that Arm>tronm'S sympathy for Ellis Will
 
 pitched ball and put out of business caused him to lose control and al lowed the visitors to get away with the game. How he accounts for this is more than the ERA can understand especially when Tucson did not make d single score.
 The pitching done by Woodward in this game was effective and he pitched some balls over the plate so fast that Doran was ready to return them when the batters struck. It was fun for the Clifton sports to see the Greys chop wood. Woodward is q pitcher and with the Clifton team behind him can skin Tucson every day in the week. He let them down with four scattered hits, while Clifton got hits off Arm strong. It was indeed d fine game of ball and one that was enjoyed by the entire grand stand.
