me- and emulated his predecessor bv being touched up for seven runs in ,no two innings he pitched. Griialva came on next, and because the Grays w,rc worn out with incessant hitting md base running, he managed to last inc two remaining rounds.
 And thus it went, throughout the game, Phoenix managing to get one more run, much as they did in the third inning. The Grays went out and cor. ralled any number of runs they seemed to desire at any old time they wanted to, and played circles around the Phoenix artists, running bases in dog trot fashion, scoring on what should have been outs, taking long chances that nctted runs, simply because they could afford to take sucn chances, an l otherwise showing up the aggregation from the Salt River valley as gooJ fel lows but decidedly poor ball players. When they tired of the carnage they simply laid down, and shortened tho comedy by allowing themselves to be put out on the slightest pretcxt.
 After the game Rinderls demon. strated that he was the same old Rim derlc that had tried the lemon dodge in Phoenix. When time came for n settlement of the gate receipts, Rim derlc tried to back up on his agree ment, which was that the locals should guarantee the expenses of the visiting team, provided the gate receipts were insufficient, and after the legitimate ex pcnscs of the game, such as balls, guards, gatemcn, umpire, etc, were de- ductcd. split the rest 60.40 per cent the larger amount to the winner of the game.
 Although Rindcrlc admitted in tho presence of several witnesses that this was the agreement, he said he thought his team should be paid their expenses before the money was divided. 1t wa pointed out to him that his share of the gate receipts would more than pay his teams expenses, but this was not sat isfactory; he wanted all his teams cx penses paid, then the remainder split G0.4O per cent. Naturally, Managel Taylor would not agree to this, and Rinderle, child-like, refused to take hi legitimate share, which was proffcreC him, and which still awaits him at thu office of the treasurer of the base bal organization, and he hiked back t' Phoenix, beaten at every point.
 Until new manager makes his ap pearancc in Phoenix, no more games, | l is said, will be played with the Sal River boys. This signal defeat vii probably cause the Athletics to reti- from the national game for the re mainder cf the season, as they hay been unable to win any of the game played with Tucson, Globe or this city l A challenge has gone forth to Tue son, asking that city to send up m all star team to go against the Grays, but as yet, no word has come forth frof the Ancient Pueblo.

Once, nc long since, the Tucson papers intimate the Grays had "eold feet' beeaus they would not agree to play Tueso at Phoenix. Now it is up to the Tu' sonians. In ease Tucson does not a' cent the deH, the Shelter City an 1 Prescott will probably play off the tl that now exists between the two team
