 Two very interesting ball games were played Saturday and Sunday last on the Clifton diamond between the locals and the Fl PasO Browns.
 SATURDAYS GAME.
 The batteries were: Clifton-Weis- becker-Dorah; Fl Paso-Starr-Kellv
 In the first inning the locals made five tallies, and it looked like they had lead-pipe cinch on the game, but the Browns pulled themselves together and shut the locals out during the rest of the game. How ever, they held the visitors down to one run until the last of the seventh when Weisbecker's wing crystalized, and every man bumped him good and plenty. When four men had reached home, man on each base, and not a man down, the captain con- cluded to make a change. Marquez was put in the box, and during the remainder of the game held them down to one hit. Two men, already on bases, got home on passed balls, giving the game to Fl Paso by score of 7-5. Eliminating the first and seventh innings, the game was one of the best ever played on this diamond. The game was replete with snappy plays-lightning doubles and fast singles.
 SUNDAYS GAME.
 Sundays game was regular Wat erloo for Fl Paso. Their infield was composed of wooden men, their twirler had a glass arm, and their outfield could not have stopped football had it gravitated gently into their f1ippers. They were a bum aggregation of has-beens and when 1 it came to the bat Marquez made monkeys of the whole bunch. The | Clifton boys were at their best, and | the way they pounded Starr, Albu- querque's most celebrated pitcher, | was holy caution, and wore the out felders to a frazzle chasing balls. l The final result was 16 to 3 in favor | of Clifton. The locals could have | run the score. up much higher, but | they became weary of running bases land let Ter go at that" as one of | them remarked. It was Marquez' | second game on the Clifton diamond. | In his first game he gave Morenci's | crack team, when it was in the pink | IL. season.
 The batteries were Marquez-Doran | for Clifton and Starr-Kelly for Fl | Paso. Starr was knocked completely | out in the seventh, and retired with | a pain in the cabeza from his bumps. | He is no longer d star of the first | magnitude. He may twinkle a lit tie around the pueblos of Albuquer que and Fl Paso, but the brilliant 1 lustre which he heretofore shed | thrOuGhOut the great southwest was | smashed to smithereens on the Cliff | ton diamond. When the tournament | with Albuquerque was played here. some weeks ago, Starr pitcRed | those who gave that as the reason why Clifton came off with first honors. But Clifton went against Starr in Albuquerque and what shr did to him then-atppdd- here was a great 1 -sz41.ilIC s4.iiilfIC icicy. Clifton has certainly demonstrated that Starr is not the hottest proposition in the base ball arena, even though he comes from Tomaleville and drinks tobasco sauce on the side. Why, he's not so warm No!
 Following is the lineup for both games:
 Fl Paso-Kelly, C.; Starr and French, D.; Wideman, 1b; Ford. 2b: French and Starr, 3b: Randall, ss.: Hutchins, If; Greenwood Of; Grimm, If: Lackey, sub.
 Clifton-Doran, C.: Marquez, D.: Sears, h.: Quigley, 2b.; Quilting, 3b.; -O'Brien, ss.; Williams, lf.; Daniels cf.: Rankin, If.
 From a financial viewpoint the games were a dismal failure, the home club losing $l05 on the two games.
 It is probable that a game will be played Sunday next between Morenci and Clifton.
