CITY COUNCIL MEETING-An ad-
journed meeting OF the city council
was held last night at which there was
great deal of elaboration and some
action. b. A. Fowler appeared in be-
half of the Y. NJ. c. A. organization
/, and requested the council to order
closed. or rather to prevent the open
ing up of an alley through the Ambrose
block east, occupied by the school
a. which can then retain il all in one
enclosure. There seemed to be no OBJ
ection to the request, especially as the
bloc keact. occupied by the school
house. is not divided by an alley. nor
has the one to the west where the
First NJ. f. Church is situated. ever
been opened. There is therefor no
business adjacent that requires the
opening of an alley in the Y NJ G. A
holdings unless that organization it
self should want il later. The matter
was referred to the city attorney. The
bonds of the city attorney and recorder
were received. approved and filed. ].
NJ. Fike commander of j. w. owens
Post. G. A. r.. on behalf of that organ
ization requested that an iron picket
fence be placed around the cannon on
the city plaza. This matter was refer
red TO the committee on building and
grounds. The resignation of c. j.
Hall as member of the library board
was accepted and S. Oberfelder was
appointed to succeed him. The salar-
les of the city officers were fled by a
resolution as IS customary. The rest
of the evening was devoted to the de-
liberation and discussion of the water
works matter. The next work of the
council Will be to take charge of the
city plant. but before that is done
there are many things to inquire into
and the council expects to to devote a
great many evenings in the immediate
future to conference of this sort,
wherein nothing may be accomplished
other than an interchange of ideas.
previous to actually taking charge, so
that when the time comes To act the
members will know what they are do

BASEBAll-The Phoenix baseball
team yesterday had the best practice
game it ever had, at the Indian school,
ten innings being played. Strubb was
given work out in the box for four
innings and the Reds only got one hit
off him. and no runs. In a previous
game IT Mesa neither a hit nor a run
was made OFF Strubb's. pitching in six
innings wherefore he Is believed to be
in fine trim for Sundays go at Tue
son. As Chaplin will not be available
next Sunday. Magofiin was given a
workout behind the bat and showed up
finely. He came here as a catcher but
has been playing in the field. the team
having been well provided with catch
ers heretofore. Quiros also did well in
the box. and with those three. and Del
gado IN reserve. the team ought TO
have battery that would do things
in Tucson The terms offered by the
Tucson management are that the ex-
penses of the Phoenix team will all be
paid and the BOYS will be privileged to
bet as much money on themselves as
they want TO. the return game here
to be played on the terms. Tucson
has been asked to furnish her own
umpire. and there is every confidence
that the visitors will get a square deal.
Manager Rinderle says that all he
wants Is fair minded man who
knows the game and that there will
be no mixing of the teams. Ii there
is disc greement it will be settled by
the managers and umpire. In this con-
nection ii is due the Phoenix team TO
say that the members comported them
selves very nicely in last Sundays
squabble. The .rag-chewing'' was I
done in the main by the manager and
captain. who had a right to protest,
aided and abetted by the outside fans.
only one or two of the Phoenix players
opened their mouths but quietly waited
for the smoke to clear so they could
play ball. The exceptions were only
when the fans on one side or the other
engaged them in argument privately.
but they did little mixing in the Off
cial rag chewing. This cooperation
is one of the strong points of the team
for they can't all be captains at once
and win.
