 exhibitions of base ball pulled off in the Territory this season, Sundays matinee between the "Prides of the Sal, River Valley" and the Grays, on the local grounds, has everything back. cd off thc boards.
 Not since the day wickenburg, who acknowledged she had no ball team be. fore the game commenced, was defeat. cd by the Grays to the tune of 22 to 1, have inc fans been forced to endure such farcical framc.up as was ore. sentcd them when the Grays male monkeys of Curlcy Rindcrlc's bunca from Phoenix, by the absurd score of g 10 1. Those who experienced the greatest disappointment, naturally, were inc $50 cxcursionists who accom-. panied the team here from Phoenix, and large portion of whom were in the grandstand to sec what they had con6dentially been told by Rin l. 'le would be the greatest "trimming" the Grays had ever received. Their re. marks anent Rinderle after the game were acrimonious in the extreme.
 Poor Rinderle! The way the grand. stand took after him from the first mo- mcnt of his appearance, until he and his ball players had filed sadly out of the lot; the back handed compliments that were dished out to him on every side; the polite CD reminders of day gone by, would have done the heart of a red'handed Navajo good, but it was an exhibition of cherished resentment, !, nourished since that memorable Sunday in Phoenix.town. that was not at Ill expressive of the really good feeling that exists between the residents of the two cities, when Rinderle is elim- mated. It was decidedly personal expression against the Curley one, not the base ball players, nor the people of Phoenix, on the whole, and it dem- onstratcs that Rinderle, so far as base ball or any other sport is concerned, is more of n "dead one" even than they are now trying to make of Muggsy McGraw in little old New York.
 "Requiescat en pace"
 As to the game, it opened up as though it would be hummer. Phoe- nix went to the bat and got man to third, but by fast playing on the part of the locals, they were shut out. The Grays, in theis half, gave splendid exhibition of the art of beating out bunts, and forced . man over the home plate before being retired.
 In the second inning Phoenix was again smut out, and when the Grays came to bat the enthusiasm in the grandstsnd was at . high pitch. The first man led off with . bunt and beat it to first. The next man buntsd and made the initial bag safely. Ditto the next man, and the bases were drawing full rent. Then came tine slugRers Bingl Bing! Bing' The way the locals pounded Williams, Pride of Mesa, was heart. breaking for the fol lowers of Rinderle's aggregation, and when the smoke had cleared away Pres cott had accumulated six runs, and m other pitcher was warming up to re- place Williams.
 The balloon ascension seemed to have affected Barnett of the Grays, for when Phoenix came to bat he was all to tho bad on wild losses, hitting the first man, walking another, and letting the next man get a safety, filling the bases Then, instead of leaving it to his sup p8rt, which, with one exception, wal gilt.edged, he tried for strike-outs, and forced in two runs by the four'bai route as result, and but for tho cleverness of Hudson in stopping some of his wide pitches, might have iet IT a couple of others. After another TUT had been scored on q safety. hc founf himself. and retired the side, with 'n' assistance of his support.
 When the 0rays lined up at th' bat again, they faced tho Tempe Nor nal twirler, wao made that institution famous, MT. Millett, who went dow' for the count in the next two innings getting touched up for as many hits a did Williams, the Grays annexirs eleven moro runs in the third sn' fourth rounds :,
