 PHOENIX, Ariz., Sept C. In n de- cidcdly onc.sidcd game here, this nf- tcrnoon, the Prescott Grays added m other to their long list of victories, by easily defeating the new Phoenix Ath- lctics. Williams of Mesa pitched n fine game for the Grays, ably supported by Elliott behind the bat.
 The features of the game wero the brilliant fielding of the Grays and their accurate throwing when the bases were drawing full rent from Phoenix artists, thus cutting off runs.
 Phoenix, tomorrow, will pick the best talent from the Indian school, Mesa and Phoenix teams, in an en- dcavor to take the scalp of the fastest team in the Territory, namely, the Prescott Grays.
 Following is today x score, with runs, nits and errors:
 At Phoenix R. il. F. Prescott ...... ...... ..,..7 l2 ! Phoenix ...... ..... ...... l2 i Seventeen runs as against nine round goose eggs. This tells the story of tho fearful druhbing given the Phoenix boys by tho crippled Prescott Grays as well ns could n page of words, and that even the loyal fans here were surprised when news of the way the contest went was received, was made apparent by the off repeated cxprcs- sion, "Wcll, who would have thought it."
 With two such vital players as Bar nett and Mitchell out of the game, Rcdman in n Phoenix hospital, with Ross, who suffered the breaking of an absccss in his ear, while cn route to the Capital City. it was not thought the Grays had much chance to win, but by the acquisition of Williams of Mesa l IN " pll'H'I ibi th' ''hfHr "H' '"' fast fielding of the crack players, Wil. son, Hudson, Elliott, Farquhar, Long and Warner, the new Phoenix team proved as easy as have the other Phoc- nix teams in days gone by.
 Hartwcll, the new Phoenix pitcher, was looked upon as n sure winner be- fore the game, but the Mountain City sluggers found him as easy as the many other pitchers they have batted out of tine box during the season.
 It is said that Rindcrle gnnshcd his teeth in impotcnt rage at the outcome of the game, and sworc to be revengsd at today's game with the Grays, and as consequence, laid his plans for an all.star team from the valley, with ? which he hopes to win today. He will ) take the pick of all the teams from , Phoenix and the surroundings towns . and send them against the victorious Grays.
 Tomorrow night, after the second ! game with Phoenix, the Grays will de part over the Southern Pacific for Tue s son, where they will play n series of three games with the Ancient Pueblo all.star team. Barnett, who left here
 last night to join the Grays, will b' 2 on the firing line in ono of more of the . games, against his former comrades of . the diamond.
 ' As proof of what "bum steer' thu f Phoenix people, who have always hac f supreme confidence in everything bear { ing the trademark of Phoenix, got, re '- garding their ball team, and the abil \ ity of their new pitcher, the following t from the Phoenix Republican, n before l thc.gamc guess, is given;
 '' "Thc final practice before the gam r. was had last night, and Hartwell show
 cd up better than at any other tim s in his life. He shot fifteen over tn
 platter in succession, and had at hi
 command all the old.time foolers an
 some of the later crooks, slow ball, spi
 ball and the kind that jump. Hart
 well is going into the game to win. II
 wants to win, and all the fans are dea
 anxious to sec him win. More tha a. that, they arc confident as never befor
 that hc will bring home the bacon
 today's contest. Word reaches ncr L. that the Grays arc little leary c 0. IIartwcll, and are somewhat shaky d their shoes. The Grays know what | er has done before and they are aGecte at with ague already.
