CLIFTON 1-ALBUoUERQUE o.

Clifton defeated the strong AL buquerque Browns Wednesday after noon in one of the fastest games of ball ever played on the Clifton dia- mond, the score being To. Umpire Pollard called the game promptly at o'clock, the Clifton team taking the field. Albuquerque was retired in one, two, three order and this record was kept up until the fifth in ming, not a single man reaching first base. When Clifton went to bat the first half Daniels and Hughes were thrown out at first, Danenhauer right field fence, advancing Dan enhau,.r to third, but Williams went out to first, retiring the side without score. And thus the goose eggs gradually rolled up until the last half of the ninth inning when Will liams landed safe to left field with a three bagger. Doran struck out and then Weisbecker, Clifton's crack new pitcher, landed a hot liner di- rectly over third base and Williams came in on slow trot, and thus ended one of the prettiest games ever put up by the home boys.
 As the ERA said last week, the home boys can play ball when they mix it with outside teams and the game played yesterday demonstrated that they are still alive ill the minds of the base ball fans of this section. Three errors were made on the Cliff ton side and two by Albuquerque which cost nothing to either side but an advanced base. In the fifth in- ming, however, Albuquerque sue ceeded in getting three men on bases with no outs, then the CoaCher on first got excited and commenced to roast the pitcher. Pollard cautioned him twice and then ordered him to the bench. Captain French was at the bat at the time and objected in a rather unnecessary manner and he was ordered out of the game. This did not suit the visitors and they proceeded to pack up their bats to go home, but they finally decided pire. Dr. Balmer donated his ser vices as official umpire the remainder of the game and his decisions were not questioned in the least. With three men on bases and no outs | WeisbeCker was up against the real thing and in his magnificent cool headed manner struck the next man out, the next man hit a hot one to Williams, who got him at home, and the third one was thrown out to first. The game was full of good plays on both sides and both teams worked out of tight places at times.
 Another pretty play was pulled off in the sixth inning when Lyon got first. Maher, a left handed batter, came to bat and the Clifton outfeld shifted around. Maher succeeded in placing a safe hit to the left field line. Lyon commenced running and had reached third base when Dan- enhauer got the ball. He made a hurry-up throw to third and Quilting slammed it to the chief just in time to get the man at home plate.
 Clifton won the game, but it was really a pitchers battle. The good work of the pitchers was backed up with perfect support and it was in deed long suspense for those who wanted their favorites to win and all most paralyzing to those who had money on the game one gentleman who bet $20 to S4 on Albuquerque.
 This write-up would be incomplete without saying a few words for the pitchers. Weidman, who by the way is an Fl Paso man, certainly deliv- cred the goods yesterday, and while
