INDIAN BALL TEAM
 VERY POOR ACTORS
LARGE CROWDS JOURNEY TO
 DON LUIS LAST NIGHT.
Return Home With Very Poor opin- ion of Indoor Baseball came-Poor Exhibition Played in the Dark.

The great Indian hall team turned Out not to be so warm after all. They
 played like lot cf school boys, and if the Bisbee team had been accuston- ed to indoor baseball the game would certainly hare been theirs.
 The train left this city bound for Don Luis with a good crowd aboard. Every one expected to see a great game. When the crowd arrived al .the grounds there were cries on every side of What are we up against?
 Wha. kind of baseball can they play by these liEhts?"
 There was truly good reason for the eroans which went up from the
 crowd. too. for the vaunted fifty cal c.um lights which the Indian team
 claimed 10 carry with them turned out tu be about thirty gasoline lamps. strung around tho ground on lines.
 About the time thc game got under way these started to 20 out. and when the game was finished there was barely enough light for the crowd to see to get cut of the grounds.
 The game. which purported to be regular indoor baseball. was called at S:55. the Indians going to bat.
 Right here commenced the crooked wcr'l. There was an understanding that the ban shcGid be pitched under hand. and Pitcher Guernsey governed
 hinsef accordingly. Of course. he had practically TO control Of the ball. The Indians ran in six scores before lthree were put out. Then up step ped the Indian pitcher and proceeded to deliver a few hot ones right from
 the shoulder The umpire's atten- ton was called to th's. but he said that the Bisbee team could have done
 the sane thing # they had wished In th's inning the home boys were shut cut Shirk getting as fsT ss first. h ihe second inniuS Guernsey showed thar he. too could do a thing

 There were only seven innings play
 ed hat halag the rule in indoor base ball. The other innings showed a
 marked improvement in Bisbee's playing. Tn the th.-l the Indians orlv got one score ~In the fourth ffih and sixth thev were put down end cut a fast as ihey stepped up to the bat by Guernsey. who pitched a fire game. In the seventh inning the Indiars ran in four more. making a total of thirteen 10 two in their favor. Considering that the Indians play the earle all of the time and claim to
 be such experts at it. the game on their part was rotte7. The Bisbee
 boys made a good showing consider | ing their lack of knowiedGe about the
 game when it started. They picked l it up very quickly. however. and held down the noted team of fine Indian piayerst?) quite well.
 In speaking of the game Manager Jaques. of the local club, said: '"I
 would rather have lost three hard f"'ieht games than to have the team
 which we advertised so widely as be.
 'rg a fine aggregation turn out to
 '-@ 'he kind of players they were.
 ~"@epted the statement of the mana
 ger of the team and advertised them
 as being just what fe said. l am
 sorry they turre out as they did. and would rather have lost the money
 that was made on the game than to
 have had the people see such a bum
 exhibition under my management.
 mean to telephone Tucson tomorrow
 and warn them of what they are up against
 On the whole the citizens of Bisbee
 wiii be satisfied if there is not anoth-
 CT game of indoor baseball played
 here for some time to come.
