somehow he could not put them over the pan Then his support was so rag ged that he got discouraged and didn't care. Hartwell had plenty of speed but hard as he tried he could not place the bal. to the weak spots of the sluggers from Prescott and in addition walked several in the commencement of the game. All the fans wanted to see Byron show his old time form but were disappointed. Probably if he had had such support as was given Williams the result would not have been so bad. Williams whom the Grays batted out of the box at Prescott in another his toric bungle parade had the Athletics at his mercy. His pitching a shut out was due more however to his support, together with poor policy in base run nirg by Phoenix.
 MagoifIn who held the big init for Phoenix had a hard time. Poor Mac. everybody felt sorry for him. he got the worst -of it in every stage of the struggle, but caught a fine game and stayed with il though thoroughly dis gusted till he got his ankle sprained. Morty came in for some of the raw hiding from the grandstand but it was undeserved. There was a man on third and Morty slipped up close to catcl Warmers bunt expecting the pitcher or second sackman to cover first. The play was to cut off the runner at home. Most of the grandstand did not catch the idea of the play. Warner did put a fGfn hut |. third and Vinson shot it to first. as tks runner held his place on third But there was nobody in a mile of the inf- tial sack and the ball bounded far into the fox tail and three more marks wers made on Prescott's slate. Just such donkey plays all through the contest was what brought howl after howl of derision from the nauseated rooters.
 After Hartwelrs demise Markwith warmed up and went into the delivery cart and was also wild as a jackrabbit though not so wild as he might have been. Prescott accumulated several more off his shoots and finally tiring ot the chase which was all gore and no glory. only asked that the Athletics make one out before the curtain would come down on the respective acts. That helped some and accounts for the con- ciGsion or the game before darkness Tell like mantle of charity over the saint and sinner alike. Otherwise they might have been playing yet. The fans who left the grandstand at the second sign Of distress in the Athletics cor ner plead with Prescott to be kind fin them and the Grays were as easy as they could be under the circumstances. With the Grays' playing no fault can be fonnd. It was faultless but for one partly intentional error.
 With yesterdays spasm the Athletics were officially declared dead and as an organization should be carted to the morgue. Curly who tried hard and died harder says that he is done. Ii ia evident that he is done brown, and turned over
 The farce started when Hartwell handed a horse slipper to Farquahar. This good luck was followed by an er- TOT by Vinson and Long was safe. Pacheco biffed one to Bryan but he shot it wild to first nobody out. the bases full. Then a bum throw. an CT. TOT or first. and one at second. a wild pitch and a base on balls. and five or the Grays had found home plate. Hud- son had been struck out. and Ross died by way of a fly 70 Hartwell, then Will i1ams mercifully closed the first session by pop uD to Hartwen.
 The Grays secured three more in the second time up on a safety. a two- bagger by Pacheco which banged the right field fence, two wild pitches and another base on balls. Four more in the next came by hard slamming of the ball and one man hit. Markwith went mo the affray in the last part of this siugging match. Tn the fifth chapter he passed the first man up. Then there was nobody on first when Vinson pick ed up Warmers bunt and two pranced m to register. Mitchell let a grounder slip by at second, Wilson was safe: Markwith threw wild to first after trapping Williams easy one. and two more cbalked up: then Mitchell booted another roller and one more was safe ar home That made sixteen. Tho next inning the Grays did not aim to score but could not help it as the Athletics were disposed to be liberal. After this Prescott refused to take any more chances in registering. They were tired of running bases and were disgusted with the whole business.
 The tale of the Athletics score get ting is easy to tell. The first time they scented the home platter was in the sixth when Vinson hit safe but was pinched at second trying to stretch it into two-bagger. Magoffin smashed out a two cushion hit following this bum play which would have scored Ninson if he had not been coached off first. In the seventh Williams weaken.
