Prescott 3, Phoenix 2.

weather here yesterday that played
right into the hands of the Highland
ers who demonstrated that all they
needed to play good ball was a congen-
ial atmosphere. For the first time
since the organization of the Phoenix
association team, that aggregation got
a crimp put into it to the great de-
light of all fans. Not that Phoenix is
lacking in patriotic enthusiasm but it
is only the swine family that want all
the swill. The boys have shown that
they can play the right kind of ball and
now it will do them good and encour-
agg other teams. if they get the short
end of it once in while providing al
ways that they get fair treatment
That was the situation yesterday and
the visitors earned all they got. And
they didn't get the purse either until
the very last end Of the race.
1t should be said to the everlasting
discredit of the spOrtloving public of
Phoenix that there was mighty poor
representation of their element out
yesterday and a consequent contrac-
tion of the currency available at the
gate. 1t was Of course raw, cold day
which kept a great many away, still
there are many who might have turn
ed out as well as not had they desired
audience would have been considered
a fair one for a week day but it was
small for Sunday showing. However.
it was enthusiastic and those who fail
ed to go missed one of the good games
of the season. 1t was so much better
than the day before that comparison
would be odius. Goldy played with
the Prescott team and Durett was IN
the. box, with Cate behind the bat.
DUrett lacked the speed of Hartwell
who pitched for the home team but he
made a good showing and for that mat
ter. the whole team did, playing an
errorless game. The Phoenix team on
ly made three errors. The summary
shows a number of double plays. two
baggers and other spectacular events
that prove the good playing on both
sides. The two runs made by Phoenix
were both in the first inning. The
visitors scored one in the fifth and got
the other two in the finishing play, so
there was never safety for either side.
until the last ball was thrown.
Four of the Prescott men had to re-
turn home on this mornings train and
they were still without a pitcher for
today's game, so the team decided to
all go home without playing a game
today as had been expected. The wea-
ther too, looked rather fOrbidding and
with the poor turnout yesterday it was
feared another day would mean only
an enlargement of the hole in the sack.
