 To Be Offered
All Visiting Teams To Be Guaranteed
 Expenses

mcnt here, Saturday, Sunday and Mon' day, preceding and including Labor Day, September 9, were given good impetus yesterday when number of tho local merchants signifcd their will ingness to assist in such m enterprise, realizing that they will naturally de' rive some benefit from .hc large mum. Der of visitors that would be here from outside points to witnes, the sports.
 It is planned to raise s750 purse, to be divided $500 for the team taking the series, and $250 to the team fin ishing second. In addition to the two cash prizes it is proposed to pay the expenses of all visiting teams, SD that those not winning first or second money will lose nothing.
 Tuscon, Phoenix and Tombstone vii! probably be here, as the th:ec teams have been invited to participate, and as the first money, especially with tho guarantee of expenses should they lose, is of sufficient size to t,mp. any team in the territory, it is exp' ted they will accept.
 Friday, Saturday and Sunday of this week Winslow will bc here for a series of three games. I. is said the northern city has an undcfcatci team, never having been bea'.n this season, but as the games played have not been with any of the strong teams of the Territory, their ability is an unknown quantity.
 Captain Elliott, of the Grays, is dreaming of n grand tony for the locals, soon, which will take in everything in the southern part of Arizona, and Fl Paso, Texas, and Albuquerque, N. M., as well. Here is tine way he puts it:
 "we will leave here, playing Phoen. ix first. Then Tuscon, Yuma, Tomb. stone, Cananea, Globe and Bisbee will follow with game at Fl Paso next. After that we will go to Albuquerque, N. M, for the big tournament there, and after getting first money, we will leave playing games with all the towns m between there and here that are worth while. By the time we get back from winning all those games it will be time for me to prepare to enter the league, or maybe the Western league ,or Coast league, or the Bush league, or maybe, I'll play here again"
 Tuscon Afraid of Hsrsslf
 That Tuscon entertains grave fears that she is not of sufficient strength to win first money in the forthcoming tournament to be played in September in the Ancient Pueblo is made manifest by the following from the Tuscon Citi. | scn:
 "The proposed tournament to be held in this city is creating more sx. 'itement over the territory among he fans than anything that has been lone for years. Each city is of the opinion that they have the strongest aggregation in the territory, except | Phoenix, that city having started a cemetery for has been ball players. Prescott, Humbolt, Globe, Bisbee. Douglas and Cananea are out for the tournament and Tuscon will have to 70 some to bring home the money. A 'retty stiff team could be picked out lere from among the three organiza. 'onS' but they are not strong enough O top some of the outsi lers."
 It is even said that Tuscon contem. dates borrowing the Los Angeles Coast eague team for the occasion.
 Painters arc Victorious
 The Painters put it all over the Boil. rmakers in their match game at Gran. Dells Sunday, winning by a score T l3 to 9. Tine Painters had il shade' the best of it in their brush" with the makers of boilers rho were handicapped by the absence their sheet'iron gloves and boiler. late masks J. NJ. Heck acted as the nic'a' referee of the base ball dispute.
