Combination Team With nBig
FIeharty' VIII Play Local
Aggregation at Don Luis
This Afternoon.

In view of the miserable exhibition
Of baseball given the rather large
crowd which attended the game be-
tween douglas and Bisbee and Bis
bee because of the general "cussed-
ness of most of the members Of the
former team, the local management
yesterday morning proposed to those
in charge of the visiting aggregation
that a game be played in the after
noon to which no admission would be
charged. After various acrobatic
stunts the proposition was rejected.
and the game was declared off.
II can be said without fear OF con-
tradiction that the local fans would
rather see their favorites lose a good
hard game than to witness the Doug
lasites' exhibition on Friday when
team of old ladies could have won
hands down. Yesterday the local man
agement felt the public had been al
most swindled and wanted to show
that it did not countenance such ac-
ton. The acting manager of the visi-
tors offered the play the game free
of charge, but when it was taken up
over the long distance telephone with
that Paragon of True Sportsmanship,
Manager ODonovan, the whole deal
was declared off
Patience at last ceased 20 be a vir-
tue and Manager Kirk told the Doug
las bunch that they need not finger
any longer, as the two games sched-
uled to be played with them were
absolutely out of the question, as the
Bisbee public refused TO accept more
| than a bunch of lemons in any one
week
There is no doubt that the members
| of the Smelter City team who were
responsible for the farcical perform
ance will be all the way out of jobs
| tomorrow.
For this afternoon Manager Kirk
| has arranged a game TO be played at
| Don Luis, which will undoubtedly
prove to be an excellent contest
bringing out the best playing OF the
| local boys to win. Six of the Cana
nea team, all that remain, will arrive
| in the city this morning, and togeth-
er with Core and Wright, two of the
real ball players on the Douglas team,
will form an aggregation to play in
back of Bisbee star twirler, Fleharty,
against the home contingent.
The Cananea men are the strongest
players of that city, and with File.
harty in the box against them, the
local ball tossers win have to 'gC
some" to get away with the game
While it will really not be a Cana
nea-Bisbee game, it will be a first
class exhibition of baseball and that
is what the people want.
II Captain Harry Cheek and other
members of the local team put il
a portion of yesterday afternoon tell
ing Fleharty that they would hand
him the same dose they gave Walters
on Friday, when the walloped the
ball around the field at will. The
Josh" was kept up until it became
rather earnest, so that there is nc
doubt the big fellow will go into the
box with the fullest determination
to give the home crowd the run OF
their lives and enhance his reputation
by beating them. In reply to their
banteriDg he advised them to get
splints in which to place their big
batting averages after the game.
/ Burns will do the twirling for the
/ Bisbee aggregation and as he has not
yet lost a game, will undoubtedly put
forth his strongest efforts to win
from Big File" A train will run to
the grounds.
