 Bisbee Q. 70 o 0 o 1 0-1
 There was nothing to it yesterday, from the outset but the certainty of Phoenix victory. The grandstand was impressed with the chances for the Browns. the players were them selves out for blood and the Miners and Bisbeeites had sort of hopeless feeling. The factor which loomed the largest as an obstacle to a Bisbee vic tory, was Cy Young, the peerless lead CT. who with four days rest. was in perfect trim and had everything at his disposal. speed to burn, curves galore, and above all. perfect control. He never walked a man. he never hit one. and only one bingle was scratched from his offerings.
 The only run made by Bisbee was on a misjudged fly ball and an error at second by Frantz, for which must be blamed not our tall second. baseman. but the dust in the air and the gath ering drakness. IL came in the sixth, after Phoenix had stacked up four tai lies which with Cy pitching. meant the game. The Phoenix scores came in the fifth. The semi-gloom was against the infield. which in this ses- sion. made two costly errors. But Shaner himself who had up to this time tossed magnificently. began to weaken in the fourth. when Becker found him for a two-base hit and Daley followed with a clean single on which Becker tried to score. but was out by an eyebrow only. Shaaer had had only one days rest and he was disposed to be q little wild, walking three men during the game. In the ! fifth he walked the second man. sim gle and q bunt which followed. finish ed the work of inaugurating the [ balloon trip by the Miners. the pre- monition of which was the hard rap ping of Mir. Shaner.
 1 The day was ideal. and the crowd was large. But the game was started | entirely too late. and by the time the players warmed up. the sun was swinging low and the air was becofn- ing cool. The infield' except the first { sacker. faced the sun. the shadows of ' the vehicles obscured the diamond. and | the dust in which some of the taps buried themselves made the possibili- ' ty of errors numerous. The game was therefore called at the end of the 4 seventh for further play would have been a farce. Bisbee was content to quit for they realized that the batters { had no show of connecting when they ! faced Cy with his terrific speed in the growing darkness. Phoenix was content to quit because the game was theirs and nobody could question it. Bets Called Off.
 l Just before the opening of the game, [ Manager Kirk of the Miners. announc- ! ed to the grandstand that ali bets made on the game were off. It was stated that there was frame up
 by certain better who got it into his noodle that he was going to be jobbed and went to the managers and de- i manded that the bets be declared nc gb. The request was acceded to. but
 no aspersions were cast at the play CTS in the matter. Both teams were as much astonished as were the majority of the spectators. Manager Goldberg
 said last night that he regretted it very much and thouglt that undu. credence had been given the rumors of
 "a frame-up".
 The deeper you delve into these matters the more complex they become ! for there is rumor and counter-rumor
 neither of which would be worth a ' farthing as evidence No doubt the ! Bisbee supporters were afflicted with
 cold feel in view of the fact that the { Browns were betting on Phoenix vic 1 tory, which Is not at all surprising
 when Cy Young was known by them to
 be working just right. They have seen ! him work all year and knew what that meant Bisbee had her own umpire this time. Burns. who has officiated with perfect fairness to both hines here. including yesterdays contest. In
