PRESCOTT'S GLAD HAND
HELD TOWARD PHOENIX
The Recent Acrimonious Temper Has
Given Way to the Smile That Won't
Come Off and the Fans Are Ex-
tended a Hearty Welcome.

W. S. Goldsworthy, general agent OF
the Santa Fe. received a telegram last
night from Manager Bert Taylor of
the Diamond 10 baseball team in Pres
colt, concerning next Sundays pro-
posed game with the Phoenix team.
Mr.. Taylor says the team has been
thoroughly reorganized and has been
treading a path of flowers ever since
its recent disastrous visit to Phoenix.
He says that not only does it hold the
jerome scalp in its belt but it has
picked up a number of other local
foretops and last Sunday it hung the
long haired wig of the Humboldt team
to its leather girdle.
The substance of the message was
that the team is in fine feather and
looks forward to next Sunday as 4
great day among fans. The ball
grounds have been cleaned up and the
fences repaired and few extra bench
es placed for the big crowd of people
that indicate their presence to witness
the sport. 1t is expected the game
will draw out the largest assembiage
that ever witnessed a baseball fiesta
in those parts.
has been smeared all over the Prescott
players and fans since the Phoenix in
cident, the Inflammation has been
quite thoroughly allayed and little
soreness is now apparent among them.
They are working together harmon
iously to give the sand crabs of the
desert as the Phoenix lads were call
ed. not SO very long ago, a royal well
come next Sunday. The bronZed ath-
letes of the meadow land are now re-
ferred to in more kindly terms and
the promise is made that high class
baseball will be the order of the day
and salubrious sociability outside of
business hours and off the diamond
The Diamond Jos nevertheless are pre-
pairing to slough the epidermis off the
sons of the bayfield, and give fair
warning that pleasure will not be al
lowed to interfere with the business of
the day though 1t will surely come af
ter whatever may be the result OF the
conflict.
The Phoenix team in the meantime
is rapidly recovering from that jiu
jitsu jolt administered by the Arm
strongs and feel fully confident of us
ing a little more red fire on the city
hall next Sunday night. The lads are
practicing almost daily with a line of
spit balls and double twist curves that
are designated to mystify the high
landers. The Tucson umpire. Wyn-
koop. a strictly non partisan man of
baseball talent, will be
on hand to say what's what and II the
game goes against Phoenix as the two
preceding ones did under his DEGREES,
there will be no hard feelings. only a
deep seated pain and a narrowing re-
gret. But having taken the measure
of the Diamond Jos on two different
occasions Phoenix feels equal to the
emergency.
General Agent Goldsworthy of the
Santa Fe. says he will place the entire
of that railroad system at
the disposal of the fans il it be neces-
sary to accommodate the rush to Pres
colt he is looking for next Sunday and
which will be superinduced by the at
tractive excursion rate of $3.50 for the
round trip. These excursion tickets
will be good on any train Saturday or
Sunday and the usual fifty cent pay
ment in Prescott will secure an extern
sion Of time for those who want to
stay over little longer in the city a
mile high and take the cold air treat
ment for the June fever of the sub
tropics.
