Soldiers Have Bad Luck While Prescott Has
 Invincible Team
Game Today at Humboldt And Another Here
 Sunday
(From Saturdays Daily.)

For nine innings, yesterday, the Grays had the ball boys from Fort Wingntc, x. M., locked in the guard house aud the keys thrown away, with the result that the soldiers were m. able to annex anything but n succession of goosc-cggs, Prescott piling up eight runs.
 With enough rain falling to make thc ball SO slippery no one knew where it was going when thrown, the game naturally was rcplctc with errors of this kind, none of whicn, however, rc. suited in runs. Hudson secured three error dots. and Wilson, Elliott and Ar. mold one apiece. For Fort Wingatc, Nader made two, and Manning, Me. Carty, Brewer and Walters one each.
 The Fort Wingatc boys are clever set of fellows, and good ball players, loo. but a little hard luck, coupled with the fact that the fans present at yes. tcrday's game saw one of the fastest teams, in the Grays. that exists today in the Territory, made it impossible for them to win. The Grays, strength. oncd by Arnold, Ross and Long of Humboldt. were well nigh invinciblc, and it is doubtful if any team in the Territory could win from the aggrc. gaiion tha, shut out the Soldiers yes. 'crlay.
 Clever little Rcinhardt, than whom no better pitcher has ever worked on the mound in this city, barring nonc. struck out thirteen men, for which he got credit for only twelve, however, as one of the strikc.outs made first on an error, in addition to which he fcldei his position splendidly.
 Manning, the Indian pitcher for Wingatc, has variety of curves that ordinarily would be puzzlng, indeed, and his control is little less than won. derful. he apparently being able to put lem over any portion of the plate he wanted to, but yesterday nc lacked steam. and the locals found him pretty regularly.
 1 The Fort Wingatc team, on tho whole. played n good game, but were unable to bunch the hits they did make, and could do nothing with Rein. hardt's twistcrs. \ goodly number of the local soldiers were on hand to cnecr the boys in blue. and while de. ploring the fact that they didn't win, still felt that they went down to de. feat honorably, having played a rat. ting good game under the circum. | stances.
 So strong was the Fort wingate team considered, that Dr. Lawrence, travel ing veterinarian for the United State, army, who has seen all of the best sol dier teams in this country, in conver sation with Manager Taylor of tho Grays and Manager Burns of tho Greens at Humboldt, told them h, didn't believe they could get team by taking the pick of both teams, tha' could defeat the soldiers, and 1t wa, only after he had readily consente, that the locals were strengthened by the three Humboldt players.
 Today the Fort wingatc boys vii play the Greens at Humboldt, and or Sunday they will return here for a see ond game. Manning will start the loo, work for the Soldiers, but will be re lieved during the game by the For Wingatc teams "dark horse" who i said to be much speedier than Man ming Considering him their bes pitcher, he has been saved for th Sunday game here.
 An excursion will leave here at O o'clock this afternoon for Humboldt Sl the round trip. Returning th trains will leave at and D. m. Ii addition to the ball game, the smoltor through the courtesy of Manager OK nam, will he open to visitors.
 On Sunday an excursion from Hum boldt will he run here. the same low rate prevailing.
 Concerning the squabblo svcr Um pirc iIartley's decision in calling halk on Manning, on motion to throy to first, without completing tho throw to which the Soldiers took decided ex captions, the rule covering it ia here with given;
