Ancient Pueblo until winter fingers in the lap of spring. Hudson was there nt all stages. and Prescott 's loss will be n considerable gain for Tucson.
 lt is rumored that Farquhar will tarry with us briefly, and then return to his home in Texas for a short visit, and it may be that Phoenix will tempt swear his allegiance to "Taylor' Ter TOTS.
 Barnett and Pacheco, originally from Tucson, were greeted with much fcrvor by the fans of the old city. Pachcco will probably remain there for the winter, but Barnett finds the altitude of Prescott conducive to the develop. mcnt of twistcrs and such like, and will return.
 The season closed has demonstrated several things. One is that Prescott had tho fastest ball team in the Terri tory. No fair minded person will dis pu'c such n sclf.evidcnt fact. Another is that Prescott is the only real, live abode of the fan and rootcr in the Ter. ritory. The gate receipts at the various games show pretty conclusively taat Prescott people will ramblc mp and pay their 90 cents with greater freedom than elsewhere.
 It is on the cards that Phoenix will be strong on tho diamond, the coming season. There is rumor to the effect that Phoenix has bid high for the ser. vices of Elliott, but further deponent saith not. With Elliott and Barnett and Wilson, Farquhar and Mitchell | still here, the nucleus of n good team | for 1908 Is to be had. "Let us then be up and doing" Phoenix and Tue. son both will have to have their re. venge, and it will take n jim dandy | team to defend the record of the Pres. colt Grays of 1907.
 II. W. wynkoop, who made such n hit with the Prescott fans by the mastcrly way in which he handled the indicator hero during the Fourth of July tournament, did a very good joh during tho series at Tucson. A rare event, an umpire that can umpire. | The winds of winter will soon whistle sad requiem over the diamond and the winters snows will do all the scoring for some time to come, bu, spring will come again, and the fever will hit the city, and once more will the joyous shout of the fan and the whoop of the rooter be heard in the land.
 All praise to the Grays, now seat tered to the four wins. They woke the Territory up to the fact that Pres cott was very much alive. and tn, awakening in the other cities will spell lots of clean, lively sport for th, crnnks after the Ides of March.
 Paintsn VI. Mayer.
 The Prescott Painters will cross bat, with tne Mayer team at that city, mex, Sunday. This is expected to be a ho, contest and ono well worth seeing Tn, painters were beaten by Humboldt on Labor Day ny score of Q to 5, and the Mayors then wallopcd the Shelter lads by exactly the same score. whii, on the face of the returns it would look as though the brush artists and Manager Halls aggregation were even on merits, yet Manager F.. T. Behn of the Painters is confident that ne can win. On Labor Day two of his men were crippled, while now he has them in the pink of condition. They are practicing every evening and are in fine shape to go against Halls goat herdcrs.
 Three games are to be pulled off the second in Prescott on September 22. and the third on the following Sunday, at Mayer. After this serie, are over the Boilcrmakcrs will probably try conclusions with the brush wield
