GREAT BASEBALL.
Bisbee, Phoenix and Tucson Have
 Chance tor Tournament Money.

This week commencing last Sun day, the greatest baseball tourna- ment ever witnessed in the south west, possibly west of the Missouri river, has been in progress in Tue son, thousands of fans being pre- sent to witness the great national game, played by many of the best players in the United States.
 In the first game Sunday Phoe- nix defeated the pride of Tucson by a score of 4 to o. "Kid" Speer did the twirling and Edmond caught for the capital city boys. Crable pitched, and Allen caught for the old pueblo boys who were not in it with the giants from Kansas and our Willie Barnett, who played a fine game, as he all ways does.
 The second game Sunday between Bisbee and Douglas, was won by Bisbee by a score of 5 to o. The battery for Douglas was Carr and Dram, and for Bisbee, Cheek and Flehar ty.
 The first game Monday between Hermosillo and Phoenix, resulted in a big goose egg for the lads across the international border, who in pitcher Tommy Gilroy, of Fall River, Mass, and Catcher Mangerina, of California, have the best battery in the bunch. The score card read, Phoenix 9 Her mosilIo o. The Tucson Star Tues day said:
 "Mangerina caught good game, and considering the fact that he cannot swing the lingo of the coun try he represents, worked wonders with his never-will-beb ball players. Gilroy, who pitched, formerly with Syracuse of the Eastern league, demonstrated that he has it all over anything yet seen in the pre- sent tournament. With any kind of a team behind him he would make the best of them lay down their bats and walk back to the bunch. He is the one man who has the ''spit" ball, and makes it break. But what can a man do with a bunch behind him who never get headache wearing iron hats. However, Hermosillo will have seven new California men in their lineup in their next game, then watch them go."
 The game Monday afternoon be- tween Douglas and Tucson, was one of the most interesting and exciting from the "fan" standpoint, and 1t required eleven innings to finish the contest, which was tie, the score standing 3 to 8. In this game Reese pitched and Allen re- presented behind the stick for Tucson. Walters and Carr made good" in the same capacity for the boys from the smelter city.
 TUESDAY.

Western Assocla- tion team, pitched and Carr caught for the Douglas team, and Rieger, late of Cananea, pitched and Man gerina of California, caught for the Hermosillo braves. A number of sensational plays were made by both teams and the fans went wild.
 The afternoon game between the star teams of the tournament-I Phoenix and Bisbee-resulted in a victory for the Copper City bunch, the score being 4 to 1. Fleharty was in the box, and Cheek worked behind the stick for Bisbee, while Young and Bayless did mighty work for Phoenix
