THERE was A BALL GAME.
Ard the Sheridan Of Nogales Team
 Was More Than ao Miles Away.

was Wore man 40 MlfGS away
 Wednesday afternoon there was a base ball game. The players were the Examiner team of Los Angeles and the Diamond \ team at Nogales It was played at No. gales. There were times when 1t was played at Nogales so hard that Nogales couldn't get out of the way and got bumped. The most carelessly handled thing in the game was the ball Several times 1t was lost and sometimes 1t wasn't found at all and the small boy smiled. Later in the day he ceased to smile and went home disappointed. because even he could not find it.
 The game started out in most interesting manner. When time was called the score was a tie, 0 to 0. That was the only time dur ing the entire nine innings that the score was tie. After that for awhile it was several to nothing and the later changed to lots to 3 few.
 At the close of the first half of the ninth inning the score was twenty-seven to seven. Nogales still had its half inning at the bat, but graciously decided not to take the last chance from the visitors. It is the custom in ball playing for the team that is last to come to bat, if they have the greater score, 10 refrain from adding thereto. It is not often the team with the les ser score fails to take advantage of the last turn at the willow. To the credit of Nogales players, be it known that they gave to the visit ing leam the privilege of being first and last to bat, though they still needed twenty runs to tie the score. But the Los Angeles play yrs pleaded that they were tired (ana considering the amount of running they did 1t is not to be wonde ed at) and the line city lads, rather than tie the score and force the tired men to play tenth inning. let them have the game.
 Of course there were knockers at the game who claimed another cause for the failure to play the last half of the ninth inning. The Examiner bunch had been batting little during the first half of the inning and when the umpire final ly called "three men out" it was found that all tho balls had been lost but one and the cover was knocked off that.
 The battle not only commenced but ended with sheridan twenty miles away" and he had no black horse Cor was 1t white one?) to bear him to the field Dr. Noon was in Cananea.

Why Organization Is Formed.
Although 1t was maintained that the
new association was formed for conve-
nience and to build up bowling inter-
ests In the East, 1t could be seen from
the trend Of remarks that there IS some
feeling against the A. 3. c. The rep
rcsenJatives present last night said
they wished to have an organization
which could not be packed and thus
controlled by certain interests by
means OF fake clubs and fake proxies,
Mr.. Livingston, In an interview, said
that the only reason the new asSocia-
ton was organized was because the

SCHEME IS NOT FEASIBLE,
Proposal to Transmit Electric Power from Victoria Falls to Johannes
 burg Ridiculed.

1t is gratifying to note that the technical press has sounded a note of warning against the proposal to generate hydraulic electric power at the Victoria falls of the Zambesi river and transmit it over distance of 745 miles for use in the gold mines at Johannesburg, says a writer in the Scientific American. But, although the proposal to deliver this power at figure that would be at once economical to the consumer and profitable to the company has been ridi- culed by the technical press, the lay public is liable to be misled by a scheme which, on the face of it, would seem to hold out flattering prospects of success. At the present time the most i'm portant transmission of energy for commercial purposes is that from Niagara to Buffalo, where the distance covered does not ex- ceed 20 miles. The longest transmission, according to pres ent information, is that which is in successful operation in Cali fornia over a distance of about 225 miles, so that the proposed transmission line in South Ali rica will be $40 per cent. longer than anything that has yet been attempted. According to Prof. William E. Ayrton, who not long ago made a severe criticism of the scheme in the London Times, the Johannesburg mining dis trict consumes about 15O,OOO horsepower, at an average cost of $10O horsepower a year. Niagara sends 24,OO0 horsepower to Buffalo, where it is sold at about $125 a horsepower year, and Buffalo, as we have noted, is distant from Niagara only 20 miles. Furthermore, in the neighborhOod of Johannesburg are abundant supplies of coal, of which an excellent quality can be delivered on the Rand for from $2.60 to $2 a ton. Even if the Victoria falls plant were to be built and a great transmission line constructed it is not likely that the important mining indus tries in Johannesburg would be willing to trust the operation of their costly plants to the integ- rity of few copper cables ex- tending for over 700 miles through the wilds of a savage country.
