Wingate Shuts Locals Out Up To 9th
 Inning
Plans For An All-Star Tournament Team
 Shaping Up
(From Tucsday's Daily)

By making two runs in their half of the first inning, and handing the Grays bunch of nothing for five innings, the Fort Wingatc ball team made things interesting at the local ball park Sun. day afternoon, for the large crowd of fans on hand to see the contest, but by punching their hits in the sixth and eighth innings, in each of which they made two runs, the Grays managed to corral the game by n score of { to 9.
 It was Q rattling good game, both teams getting men around to third in various innings, but being unable to score them, except in the three innings mentioned. wingate played q bang.up article of ball, and their reserve pitcher was there strong except in the two bad innings he had, which, coupled with CT. TOTS, gave Prescott their runs.
 Barnett twirled n good game, and Pachcco, called "Pcck" for snort, the new first bascman for the locals, did very well, but displayed no record. breaking form at the bat. A wonder. full improvement over the late lamented O'Connor, however, is "Pcck."
 Long, the short fellow from Hum. boldt, who handled the indicator, made good with the grandstan1, and with the exception of n couple of base de. c'sions, which some of the spectators thought were not quite right, had the crowd with him at all times. A man that can. give that much satisfaction, however, has the making of an am. pire.
 Speaking of the all.star team which 1t 10 proposed to send against the teams that participate in the Tucson tournament in September, and later against tho New Mexico teams at the Albuquerque tournament, an old fan, familiar with every good point of the local and Humboldt players, hands in tho following lineup:
 Elliott, catcher.
 Cole, Reinhardt or Barnett. pitcher.
 Arnold, let base.
 Ross, End base.
 Hudson, short stop.
 Wilson, 3rd base.
 FArquhas, right Aeld.
 Long, center field.
 Mitchell, left Asld.
 With this aggregation, it is doubt. ful if there is . team between Denver and f.os Angeles that could hang 1t on the locals. If tho two teams should mstke into one, 1t would b oue of tho. faStsst ever sssa outaids of otsaniasi bass ball cireles, in this part of tho west.
 t* + + * . . S-t < < + + this weck'and almost broke up honey. moon. Gunda does not frown on mat. rimony, for being an elephant, he is necessarily . good Republican, but nay. ing become famous through his bank, Of which he h president, board of di. reetors and receiving teller, he is nat. nra'ly interested in money, since the proceeds of the contributions which 70 into his bank are applied to the Dur. chase of sweets for his consum ption. When newly married couple arrived from Pawling, a little town in this state, they naturally, while visiting the Zoo, contributed q penny in the ful. meas of their joy, to Gunda's bank. But after seeing the easy way in which the elephant grabbed the prof. fered coin, the bride, remembering all she had heard of pickpockets, advised her lord and master to transfer his rolls of bills to his inside pocket. This he started to do. He never Rnished. however, for Gunda was right on his job, catching sight of the t4OO roll during the process, and, doubtless, real. ising its value, put forth his trunk. snstched the bills and in spite of tho shrieks of protest, proceeded to devout them. Enough was rescued according to the keepers, to take the downcast couple back to Pawling, but their honeymoon was over and their money was gone. Sadly they left the animal house, unable to cnthuss over tho monkey which had just tried to com. nit suicide or the python which having swallowed lot of dye stun, was rap. idly turning blue.
