Willie Will Go to Prescott.

A Prescott special to the Tucson Star dated July 3oth, soys:-By strik- ing out nine men, Barnett helped Prescott win from Humboldt here Sunday by a score of 13 to 5. The little Tucson twirler was in great form and held the heavy hitters on the Humboldt team down to six hits, but was weak in fielding, being credited with three errors. Barnett has been signed for the remainder of the season by Prescott and will remove to this city within a few days.
 Prescott made II hits off Hum boldt's pitcher and the Prescott team only had Barnett and Graham to strengthen them, the rest of the players being local. Humboldt played a ragged game, being credited with nine errors. Barnett has become the idol of the local fans and was given a rousing reception by the grandstand on last time up to bat after the fans saw that Prescott had the game won. Four games have been played by Prescott and Hunt boldt, each team having two games to it's credit.
