close and exciting contest, but their
hopes went glimmcring when Prescott

Another one Of the Phoenix Ath
Iletie's rag.chewing matches, for which
tnat team is gaining n Territorial rep
uta,ion was pulled of in the Capita
city, sunday, when Mesa played th'
Athletics. Each team had one game Il
its credit, aud both were anxious Il
win. Things went along fairly smootl
until the beginning Of the ninth in
ming. when Captain Lewis Of the Ath
lctics substituted player who had beer
previously barred. Mesa objected, an'
while the captain of tne Mesa team wa
eonferring with his pitcher, Williams
the Athletics left the field, dcelarini
the game had been forfeited to them
As there were two umpires, and as bot
declare they never made any forfeit
rrc decision. and nv Mesa was two run
ahead of Phoenix, il looks to ma
mn a tree ~ though Curley Rinderl
had merely pulled off anotner OF hi
famous stunts TO get the big end
the gate receipts. II is to be sincercl
hoped that when Prescott plays tn
Athletics, Sunday, In Phoenix, ther
CAB fest procliviiics will have been re-
epated to the background, and M Pho'
nix always rings in southside and IL
dian school players when she play
Prescott, there will be no squabble o
} that score, M Prescott will let aer hav
any old player she wants, and st'
win.
