 Bisbee's banner was trailed in the dust yesterday afternoon at Eastlake park by the Phoenix Browns the Spain chance coming in the seventh and ninth rounds, when the home boys fell on Shaner's offerings with disastrous frequency. Most of the way the box artist from the copper camp pitched fine ball, pulling himself out of several deep wells with men ~on bases. But the Browns batted him lively take it all the way through, se- curing ten safe swats. r-
 Clark however was very stingy, all lowing the Bisbee bunch to make but three small bingles and gave only one base on balls. He led the strike-outs. having eight to his credit. He really was entitled to a shut-out and would have had one, but for an error on sec ond base and one in the right field. He without doubt outpitched his oppo- nent from start to finish, and too in the, face of support which was not quite as fast as put up by the Bisbee nine. Bisbee has a fleet infield with out question, but they could not con- meet at opportune moments yesterday.
 Morty Graham was given a tryout in right field and as usual he put up fine game. Morty is dependable ma terial and the home boys are glad to see him back. Bayless as usual came in for much applause and the way he ran bases was enough to make Dan Patch prick up his ears and get busy. Becker's fearful thump for three bases in the se--enth started something which did not stop till the Browns came away with the long score. Gus Hetling welted it for single in the same ses- sion which sent Becker home. That tied the score up in double bow knot.
 The scales were still hung in bal ance when the last ball was pitched in the ninth. It took just that offspring of Mir. Shaner to settle whether the combat went ten or more. There were three men on bases. two were out. Nc Clelland was charged up with a credit of three wide ones and debited with two strikes. He had been fouling some almost-hits. Shaner flung a ball which would have been a strike and Mac swung hard and the ball bounded not far from the plate along the third base line. Shaner could not get to it quick enough to cut of the runner at first and Dick Bayless was almost in when the ball was hit. slower runner might have been tagged and the session ended a tie.
 A little incident occurred at third base between two players on opposing hines which was to be deplored. but it certainly reused up the grandstand. who howled and hooted the Bisbee man every time he came up. But few knew who was in the wrong but the fans did not care for the roofing was all for the Browns regardless. At the same time they were very willing to applaud any fast play made by the copper diggers and give them their dues.
 The game was witnessed by one of the largest crowds ever seen at ball game here and the attendance was well rewarded for the contest was exciting all the way through. To see league quality ball is something which Phoe- nix seldom has the opportunity and 1t is well the chance is taken advantage Of for it may not come again soon.
 Bisbee was at bat in the first with MT. Clark doing his best. Bellinger hit an easy pop-up to Mac and E. Olson and Ryan were retired on strikes. The Browns went out in rotation also. Bay less hitting a fly to Corr, Becker went out from second to first and Durand whiffed.
 Wilson for Bisbee in the second hit a fluke to Hetling. the next member of the Ole Olsen family was killed from Hetling to Edmunds and s. Olsen ex- pired from McClelland to Edmunds. Hetlings tapped one to third. Edmunds followed suit to short. McClelland clouted the leather for two bases but died there while Speer executed a weakling to second.
 The third netted Blsbee the first tall ly. Corr hit to Durand who fumbled
