THE BIG BALL GAME.
Morenci Victorious-A High Sc0re-A
 Game of Sixteens.

what of a disappointment to the base
 ball enthusiasts. 4 good fast game oi
 ball had been expected, but 1t Wa;
 nothing more than slUgging match.
 Morenci landed on Patterson heavy the
 first inning. getting more hits in the
 one inning than they had gotten ir
 the whole game at previous occasions.
 But Pat was not the only man who
 got his ''bumping''-Cook was hit 60
 bard by the Clifton boys in the first
 inning that he came near giving up the
 ghost. 1: was the big game of ''six-
 teens." Both sides hit the ball safe
 -ixteen times and also made sixteen
 errors. The honors were even and the
 result Of the game was at no time cer-
 tain for either side. At one time Clifton was in the lead and at another
 MOrenci held first place While the scOre-l5-l2-was d poor one, the game
 was very exciting and full of snappy plays, but the errors were too numer- ous to hold the score down. The 1 grand stand received its moneys
 worth us there was so much roofing
 that people could not hear themselves
 think. More than two hundred peo- | pie witnessed the game and among the | number were the ''big two" Fred 1 Cleaveland and Editor Dunseath of the O IBtSc SCu- tlemen is due the result of the game. Editor Dunseath is certainly dandy rooter-aiI that the Morenci boys have to do to win game is to take him along and pay his expenses and II they don't win something is wrong. Fl Paso cannot win a game against Mo -reuci with Dunseath tee-4ireat' on the bench.
 There was some very poor out field ing done on the Clifton side, while MOrenci swiped up most everything that went in the Geld-their errors be- ing made on the intield.
 Clifton still has few games on Mo renci and can stand the loss O. few games before their reputation Is in daEger. The next game will be hot one, as all the games between these two teams generally are. Clifton Is now short frstbaseman, Dudley hay ing broken his little finger. He can not play any more until his finger Is well, which will De some time yet.
 The Clifton team hit Cook so hard last Sunday that it was necessary to order d dozen new bats by wire this week. And tine next time Clifton gets d chance at him they expect to put him out of business. It is rumored that the Moreno boys intend to do the same thing with Patterson. These declarations are what make interesting games.
 There has been some talk about a game between Clifton and Bisbee to take place in the future on the Clifton diamond, but nothing can be learned at sporting headquarters as to the date.
 The game Sunday was such a poo:' excuse that the Clifton and MOrenci teams will cross pats again next Sun day. Both teams are confident of success and lively time Is promised to the spectators. Come out and wit ness one of the most exciting contests Of the season.
 There was very good game of ball played at Deming last week in which the Yellow Kids skinned the Las Cruces team by a score of six to nothing. The Kids have several times been in- vited tO come to Clifton, but they failed to reply. They have last team and d game between Deming and Cliff ton at some future date will attract q large crowd. Clifton is nov red hot for games with Dcming, Silver City, Fl Paso and Bisbee and at the same time would like to hay" an invitation for d return game with Tucson, Doug las and Glooe. Globe has been acting very short with the Clifton boys, hay ing been here twice without returning tbe games. Cold feet!
 Albuquerque wiped up the earth with Fl Pasn for two games last week. The Fl Paeo boys have not won Il game in such long time that they have for gotten how it feels to win. Better come up to Clifton and try your luck in the rocks. The Clifton boys will give you little exercise climbing the bills for the ball
 A. T. Thomson, treasurer of the Arizona Copper company, left yester- day for san Saba, Texas, on mission in which Cupid has played prominent part. and which will culminate on the I6th instant in a ceremony in which 1 Miss Harris will also take a principal part. Mr Thomson was accompanied on the trip by Mr. and Mrs. l.. NJ. M. z. Elliot and j. R. Todd. Miss Harris is d sister to Mrs. Will | Hams. and spent some time here last winter visiting. Mr. Elliott is also | deeply interested in affairs matri- | monial. and after the nuptial knot has been properly tied at San Saba, bind- | ing together the lives of Nr. Thomson | and Miss Harris, he will journey on to | Boston, where his arrival will be | auxiously awaited by Miss Woodman, formerly of Clifton, who left for her | old home about two months ago, and | W ho will return as Mrs. Elliott. It is | probable that the fragrance of orange | blossoms will make deep and lasting | impression upon Mr. Todd, but that is another story, which will be delayed for the present.
