 The BRAS record of the terri torial fair games at Albuquerque closed with Wednesday last.
 On Thursday afternoon the Clifton team defeated Albuquerque by a score of 7-1, giving them three straights, and putting them in position te win first honors and the big purse.
 On Friday afternoon, however, they met their Waterloo in game with Las Vegas, in a score Of 6-5 in the thirteenth inning making record of which any team might well feel proud. The loss of this game put Las Vegas in a position where they had chance to tie the miners, which they did on the following day by defeating Trinidad. On Sunday the tie was played off, by a score of 13-7 in favor of Las Vegas. This was the first poor game the boys played since leaving home. It seem ed to be an "off day." as many of them scored errors, but even pro- fessional team will have its bad days. as whole the boys have played re- markable ball, and Clifton feels proud of them. This is the first time that an Arizona team ever com peted for prizes at the Albuquerque fair, and the result is most gratify- ing to the Clifton fans. While the result was not what the local fans had hoped for, but still as a starter it is a record of which any team can take pride.
