Tilt TUCSON TOURNEY
 EXCURSION TOMORROW
Wichita Achievements Are Expected to Arrive in Tucson Today.

Manager Goldberg left last night for
 Tucson and will be there when the Wichita men arrive as they are ex- pecting to do this evening General
 Agent Goldsworthy of the Santa Fe
 wired instructions for the men to be routed by the way of Deming and over
 the $. F.. and last night received mes sage that the players will go Girect to Tucson. This will give them a good nights rest in, that city and the morn ing in which to unlimber and shake off the cramps from riding that dis tance. The Phoenix team. being scrap ed together at the last moment. will be working under disadvantages compared to the competing teams who have been playing together for some time.
 It now transpires that Tucson sched- uled Phoenix for the first game with the home team. as it was figured that
 Phoenix was the easiest meat in the whole outfit. and Tucsonites wished very much to win the initial game to
 inspire the local rooters and citizens with enthusiasm and confidence which would help the gate receipts. With the coming of the Wichita endorsements. however. a new light has been cast on the situation, and they are not so nor
 tai certain down in the old Pueblo.
 Manager Goldberg said yesterday that
 when he replied in answer to a query
 that the alfalfa team would be repre- scented by seven cracks from the Wichi-
 ta nine, he noticed a loosening of the
 knee joints of his hearers and an eion-
 gation of the countenance, so that it

 an ordinary camera IL is certain that
 Tucson will have no easy snap with
 Phoenix. even though the team has
 been gathered from the four winds in a week

 here is some of it from a year ago. and this years records are even bet
 ter. On June II of the former year.
 Becker of the Wichita team. struck out II Topeka batters. allowing but four hits and himself Securing three safe hits out of four times to bat. one of them triple. He is now playing out field because of his batting abilities
 Hetling is a third baseman and rank ed well with the stick. and second. with a per cent of 912. in fielding
 Young, Speer and Clark are pitchers Young is regarded as one of the fast est in the Western Association. Du- rant may play third and Hetling catch. Manager Goldberg yesterday wired to Los Angeles for q second baseman to strengthen that position. as according to the latest advices. Isbell is not coming Barnett yesterday tried out ~fUO nd T of speed to give away Barnett is a pretty good sticker and if he is not used in the box he may play field position. Warner will also go to Tue son and play at short.
 The new suits for the team arrived yesterday. The material is a dark brown. and each suit is bedecked with the initial P. The pamphernalia will be taken to Tucson by Warner and Barnett tonight
 A message from Tucson last night stated that it had cleared off in that city and the indications are fine wealth CT for Sunday and probably all week Quite q large number have signified their intention to take in the excur- sion from this city Sunday at the rate oi A per, for the Found trip. Bisbee and Douglas are coming 600 strong There is a good deal of interest in the new team for Phoenix and the outlook is good for this city to get in on some of the money, if not the first at least il will not be left out in the cold en- tirely.
