 Barnett's striking out nino of the heavy hitters from the Shelter City IS not considered wonderful by those who have seen him work before. The fact that he had but recently recovered from severe illness operated against nim in his first game at Humboldt.

 Fort wingate Coming.
 Friday of this week Fort Wingatc 's crack Soldier team will be here for n go with the Grays. On Saturday the Soldier boys will play at Humboldt and on Sunday they will return here for another game. The Fort Wingatc aggregation is said to be one of tho strongest soldier teams in this part of tho west, md they arc expected to make things interesting for both the Prescott and Humboldt teams. The ex. pcnse of bringing them in will be some. thing like $275, and for this reason big gate receipts will he necessary to assure the management of the local grounds making expenses. Manager Taylor of the Grays and Manager Burns of the Greens are both doing all they can to give this city and Humboldt good base ball and their efforts should be encouraged by large attendance.
 Affar n. G.uI.,, .. i in some quarters that Humboldt had "thrown" the game to Prescott. This is rank injustice to the players and management of both teams. It is known that some of those interested in the Humboldt team wagcrcd money on their chances, and had it been fixed for Humboldt to lose, they would hardly have done this. It is true that the Greens did not play as good n game as usual. Had they the score would not have been SO large, but the Grays played gilt.cdged ball after the first two innings, and held Humboldt safe at all times after that.
 That the Grays were not presented with the game by prc.arrangemcnt they are determined to demonstrate when the two teams meet for the fifth game.

 With three men on bases, and the ball hit 10 pitcher, I observed that it is quite au fait to bounce the ball to the catcher, on the force. This ia m i'm. provement over the old method in vogue of throwing the ball over the grandstand, but not quite % sure of catching the runner as n practice oc. casionaily indulged in of throwing it into his mitt.
 Many years ago, when base ball was discovered, as a game, coincident with the discovery, 1t was made manifest that the proper way to grab ball was with both hands. This seems to have fallen into disrepute.
 The style of batting affected by one of our Prescott boys would be n win. ner if the gentleman was four inches taller and s7h pounds heavier. As 1t is, while spectacular, it is not of. feetive. Try the light tap, with the trademark up.
 Captain Ross is mighty clever lit. tie fellow, but he was hypnotizcd dur. ing the game. Met him outside, after
