They say that this game will be for blood and that the result will be the reverse of the game played here on the date of the late excursion from Mesa. Quite a number of lccal rooters expect to accompany the team, and they will no doubt "whcop it up" for Florence.
 Mir Stauffer. the manager of the cir culation department of this paper, was in town yesterday and this morning, arranging for the circulation of the pa per in Florence, and he was also sue cessful in obtaining a number of new subscribers.
