HOW BUCKEYE SKINNED
TIE PHOENIX JUNIORS
II Took Ten Innings to Decide the
Game Which Stood 7 to 5.


| spondence of The Republican.)-The
Phoenix Juniors base ball team came
down and paid Buckeye a visit yester-
day and went back with the good will
of the Buckeye boys If nothing more.
The ball game between them and the
home team was one OF the best seen
here for some time. There was most
too much rag chewing to be pleasant
but 1t was caused by the umpire not
being quite up to date on rules, and
not from any unfairness of his de-
cisions.
The Buckeye boys were the heavier
batters of the two teams. but the jun
| iors made up for that in team work.
Both sides made several errors which
at times were fatal, but considering
the grounds II was a very good game.
The Juniors went first to bat send
ing Tyson as far as third where he
died as the next two men following
went out. Buckeye did not do quite
so well as they never reached second.
In the second Griffith went out on a
fly, Bales famed, and Tom O'Connell
went out at first as fast as they could
get there. In the third Hinson scored
Martinez famed, Ed O'Connell went
out at first. Tyson reached third and
McChristofferson went out trying to
make second. Buckeye with. seven men
at bat managed TO rake off two runs,
and letting two men die on bases. The
Juniors went to bat in the fourth. one
run behind. Casey went out at first,
Griffith trying TO make third and Bales
famed, Keen went out at first, Lyall
In the fifth there was nothing doing
for the Juniors. Tom OConnell flew
out to left field, Hinson iIew out to
right. Martinez walked and Ed O'Con-
nell took an airship TO center and it
was over. The Buckeye boys chalked
up one more run in this inning max
ing the score read to l. The Juniors
got busy and put one more down to
their credit in the sixth. But Buckeye
not to be outdone did as well and the
score read to 2. In the seventh there
was nothing doing on either side. Bales
flew out TO short, Tom OConnell went
out at first, Amator, the race horse,
died trying to make a two-bagger out
of a one SAFE and Haugh flew out to
short. In the eight the Juniors went to
bat feeling rather respondent as it
looked as IL Buckeye had the lead and
was going to Keep il. Martinez knock
ed a safe one, Ed OConnell got TO
walk. When Tyson went to bat there
was something doing, he banged a two
Dagger to right field bringing in Mar
tinez and O'Connell and finally max
ing il in himself on an error at third.
Three runs and no one down. That
was enough to make any one happy,
but the rest of the inning there was
nothing doing. For Buckeye, Joslin
famed, Crooks hit safe, Keen famed,
Lyall knocked a two-bagger, and
Crooks scored, when Gonzales found a
hole in his bat and the score read )

same road. Jones hit at the breeze,

safe, McChristofferson punched three
holes in the Buckeye zephers. Casey
went out at first. and Tyson scored.
but Griffith travelled the same old
road out at first. The Buckeye boys
had been getting their breath and
Crooks and Joslin both scored breaking
the tie and the game was over.
The line up was:
