PHOENIX MANAGER
 WAITS FOR PLAYERS
Goldberg Suspects Wachita Baseball Men Have Thrown
 Him Down Hard
(Phoenix Democratl ]

Manager Goldberg of the Phoen.x Browns is still waiting at he cnurch." Wichita takes the pd-t of tne married man whose wife won't let him get wy.
 Wichit $ not even so coRsiGerate as to send a little note explaining the cause of all this sileace and ab- sence- The least they could do. thinks Manager Goldberg, is to send a telegram at his expense.
 The first suggestion that the Wi-h- lia team come to Phoenix aEd .ep- resent this city on the baseball ofa- mond came from the manage. Of that Aeam in that city. T. was in the form of letter, and sail plainly that they wanted to come.
 -sos oiiJ has hiianasoT ITUiJiJeIg telegraDhed the Wichita boys tbat transportation awaits them at The santa Fe depot. but through the local railroad offices he has had messages sent 10 the santa Fe agent in Wich- lta to tell the ball players that they are wanted.
 Why Wichita keeps So silent after asking to be brought here to play ball this winter is worse than Chi nese puzzle to Manager Goldberg who is growing thin over the several disappo.ntments he has had.
 Unless some word comes soon. Manager Goldberg will be inclined to class the Wichita bunch with the HutchisOn false alarms, who Inaas all arrangements to come here. even go. ing so far as to telegraph for trans. portatson, then went to Bisbee.
 The Hutchinson disappointzents instead of telegraphing to Manager Goldberg that they would not comg wrote him letter. Their names ara PettigTew and Wilson. They played with Btsbee against Douglas last Saturday and from all accounts noth- ing caught fire from their playing
 If Goldberg does not get the Wich- lta phenoms. he still has one or two trump cards to play, but must play them today or tomorrow if Phoenix $ to have a team to send to Tucson by next Sunday. The time is getting s short that things will have to hap pen quick
 No manager ever made a more he- roic effort to get a good ball taamS than has Manager Goldberg. He has given up several hours of his time each day for the benefit of Phoenix fans, and if he does not have a team at Tucson it will not be his fault nor the fault of those who are helping him.
 Had it been known sooner. Man ager Goldberg might have secured the majority of the Rock Island (ArkJ team. J. c. Adams told Gold berg yesterday that he believed sev- eral' of the players from Rock Island would come here at his request.
 So determined has Manager Gold berg been to have a team at Tucson that he will strive for one up to the last minute. It may be necessary for him to ask Tucson to postpone the first game Phoenix must play at the tournament as late as possible in stead of having the Browns nd Tue son 'open the series Sunday morning.
 Tucson. Bishee, Douglas. Cananea and HermOsillo continue to strength en their teams by importing fast play. CTS. The only discordanJ note that has been struck so far is the threat of Globe that if the thirtyday limit is allowed to stay off they will re- fuse to enter the tournament.
 Manager Goldberg is looking for a telegram hourly that will tell him that Wichita has started for Phoe- nix. Unless he gets it this after noon or evening there will be little hope left.
