Marenci Clifton 0.

Clifton and Morenci crossed bats
Sunday last on the Clifton diamond
with the disastrous result of 60 in
favor of the latter team. The game
was called a match game, but in
reality it was nothing more than
practice. as the locals had no pitcher
to defend them, while on the other
side was Ashley, who can hold his
own with many of the league twirl-
ers. Clifton showed a world of
nerve to 90 up against d team like
Morenci without a pitcher, but she
had four new players to try out.
Outside of d few errors the locals
put up an excellent game and the
new men showed up very satisfac-
torily. On the other side the visit
ors. batted well and played almost an
errorless game. 1t was an interest
ing contest and the spectators were
satisfied. Ashley did the heavy work
for the visitors at the bat, getting
three two-base hits, which counted
runs. He was easily the star of Mo.
renci. Ellis Williams took the
honors ON the Clifton side and COW
cred every inch of the left garden.
Two sensational catches and per-
feet throw to home was a part of
his work. Donahue, O'Mally, Delano
and Rohau, all new players, put up
good game and their second appear
ance will no doubt show improve
ment. The following is the score:

Nut SpIitters VS.. Rivet Tappers.

Dave Clark. master mechanic OF
the A. c. company, and Dan Lynch,
chief of the boilermaker department,
have recently had some hot argu-
ments over baseball with the result
that Clark has organized the Nut
Splitters team and Lynch has organ
lied the Rivet Fappers team. Both
aggregatious have the best team to
hear the leaders tell it, hence it will
be necessary for them to play game
to settle the dispute. As there is no
other game scheduled for next Sun
day these two teams will play in the
afternoon on the local diamond, and
there will certainly be hot time.
The PLAYERS on both sides are sCien-
titic batters and have bad years of
training in the art of striking that
which they see. hence If they can see
the ball home runs will be common
thing. NJ. Kisby has been engag-
ed as umpire and L. l.. Marshall has
been elected chairman of the refresh
ment committee. This is d game
that should not be missed by the fans.
An admission fee of % cents will be
charged To the grandstand and the
proceeds will go towards the support
of the Clifton ball team.
Teams will be selected from the
following players: Nut Splitters-
Clark, J. Deck, E. Deck, Brock. Lin
am, Moore, Quilting, Longwell, Dona-
hue, Hauxhurst, Kilsby, Russell, Du-
val, Schaefer, Emerson and Evans.
Riyet Tappers-Lynch, Delano, Ho-
