EXHIBITION GAME WAS ROTTEN
 EXHIBITION.

There 'll be no more exhibition games played by the two local teams. The ragged playing of the amateurs; me unsatisfactory decisions of the nm. pirc; the disgust of the handful of fans who mourncd their 50.ccnt pieces; the game crowded with horse.play, and little of everything but legitimate ball playing was such n frost as to forever preclude the possibility of again getting anyone to sit out nine such tiresome innings.
 The linc-ups as given out by the managers of the two teams the night before were entirely changed when the teams lined up for play, and the juven. lies were again in evidence. Paul Burks, who was scheduled to play with Dillon's team, watched the game from the grandstand, and Tom Campbell, the Republican politician, and tax collcc. tor, played in his stead, proving the bright particular star of the game, get. ting number of long swats and re. trieving the ball in great shape when Wilson got hit on the finger and .lc. libcratcly threw the ball as far to the outfield as he could, while runner was on base, allowing the latter to score. Tom also came in for the lions share of the applause.
 The spectators sitting in the end of the grandstand near the bleachcrs seemed to feel the loss of their 60 cents more than did the others, and tried to get their moneys worth by "guying the umpire," but as is al. ways the case in ball game, the um. pirc had all the best of it, as he can, like woman, always have the last word. His cratic decisions, however, lent some semblance of interest to the game, as the fans whiled away the time in laying wagers as Co what fool dc. cision he would make next. Altogether 1t was what is termed "an awful smear" and it is not likely that any more "exhibition" games will be played.
 Winslow arrived last night and will go against the Grays this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. It is sincerely hoped by those who saw yesterdays matinee that tho horse-play will be relegated to the rear today and good, hard base ball played in its stead.
 Monday, Labor Day, the Grays and winslow will play the second game of the series at Humboldt, and Tuesday, on the local grounds, the final game will be played
 Manager Bazell of the Winslow team, stated last night that he had likely bunch of players in tow, and that bar ring n couple of crippled players, his aggregation was strong enough to trim the Grays, who also have two or three players on the disabled list. In yes. terday's game, both Barnett, Hudson, Wilson and Farquhar were more or less injured. The Grays and Greens will combine, however, and display their united strength against the Winslow boys.
 The game today is expected to be a good one, as it is not likely winslow would have entered tournament against two such strong teams as Tue son and Prescott unless she had an aggregation of players in which she had supreme confidence. It is under. stood that the winslow boys have mum. erous admirers here, and it is also said that n number of the visitors who are here for the games, preparatory to wis iting Humboldt, Monday, will root for the northern city team, so that the Grays should have their hands full in winning both the grandstand and the game.
