/ OiiipiIe NTIdD - ali right Only he
couldn't grab enough of them for his
home team. The only criticism to
make concerning him is that as ref
cree he should have stopped the fight
/ before it became so brutal. for baseball
| is supposed to be a nice gentleman's
game and the men who made it did
not intend when they did so to incite
u massacre.
Seriously speaking yesterday was a
bad day. The weather looked forbid
ding and the attendance was not so
large as it should have been. Pres
colt was disappointed in getting a
couple of crack players they had de-
pended on and Colby could not get
away yesterday to help them, but he
is expected to be on hand today, and
Delgado will be in the box. For
some reason Sharpneck was not in
real good form and had a bad eye for
the plate with the result that too many
of the Phoenix boys had to walk to
first. Then, too, Anderson fumbled
ball, something that is a violation of
his private rules, though he played
very good otherwise. Two or three
unfortunate incidents allowed the
Phoenix players to score when they
should have been stopped on the bases.
so that altogether the Phoenix team
/ lliOie liledll hepl UP IT'S reputation
On the contrary the Phoenix battery
was strictly in form as the whole team
seemed to be for that matter. Durham
Outdid himself apparently and famed
out some fifteen or sixteen, while not
a mountaineer was credited with a hit.
They felt round in the air for it but
seldom found it and when they did
they were unable to do much with it.
The Phoenix team might have thrown
off little and given the enemy a
chance to score but it did not for the
very good reason that they had invited
people to see their best and they felt
they owed it to the grand stand to
give the best exhibition possible, which
they did. They made all they could
out of it and the game was well worth
seeing even if it was one sided. 1t is
believed that today's game will be
much closer contest and in Justice to
all concerned there should be a lib
eral patronage on the part of those
who love the sport for baseball like
anything else, must be supported if 1t
is to be kept at a high standard.
| There isn't a great deal to say con-
corning the special features of the
game for there was a lack of the spec
