PHOENIX VS. PRESCOTT
 FOR THE TAI PURSE
Three Games in Pine City Are Slated Will Not Prevent a Local Game.

The Phoenix All Stars pitted against the Prescott Gray: for purses of $35O
 to the winner and $200 to the loser at 1 Prescott for three games, the third fourth and fifth of July, is the latest
 development in the baseball line. Pres
 ident Galpin of the City league yes
 terday received d telephone cOmmuni- cation from the manager of the Pres
 colt team concerning the terms un-
 der which they will play. and stated that he would send down d letter stating in detail the agreement
 Prescott also manifested d desire to be fair and asked if Phoenix had an
 umpire. if so to bring one along and
 the double umDs system would be used. Just about this time a young man happened in who has had eXperi- ence Tn the Iowa league and wanted a chance to get in, d local game and show ~'hat he could do. He may be given a chance. From now till next week the baseballists will be looking about for the most eligible man. If il Were not for the fact that Magaffin if he can go, will be in the game. there k hardly q man in the league or out side of it who can set in calm judg- ment on the plays better than he. But his playing will preclude that. It is regretted that Gornley is not in Phoe- nix, for these encounters with our an cient rivals is certain to be productive of more or less irrespressible conten- ton.
 The Santa Fe will run a special ex- cursion at the usual reduced rates for these games, and it is likely that a big crowd will visit the Pine City. Jerome will be there on the Fourth on special train, and probably the larg- est crowd in the history of the Pres colt diamond will be present on that day to witness the Phoenix Prescott combat. The tournament will be held in the new park which. according to reports is one of the finest in the territory. 1t is located on the street car line near to the central part of the city.
 The Grays have been practicing hard. Games with Harter's Colts another Prescott organization, have been had and the All Stars will go up against a hard puzzle in the coming series. The Phoenix lineup has not yet been determined, but will probably be about the same as that played in the recent games here against the Mountaineers. Three or four pitchers will be taken along. The purse won will be divided among the players
 This will not prevent a local game on the Fourth of July at Eastlake park. The opposing team may be Con- gress, or in the event of them falling down, the Indians may be piaved against another team from the league The endeavor will be to match two teams of as nearly equal strength as possible in order that the game be close and exciting. They will play for the gate receipts as the purse.
 There will be game Sunday be- tween two local aggregatiOns. Two avenues are open. one To play Shree more games in the city league series before closing up for the summer. another and more probable one. the MaroCns against the Fraternals. which two teams played eleven innings Sun day, the winner to take all the gate money, the losers nothing. This prop osition has been made and may be ac- cepted. If the Orphans want to play the winners on the same basis later they will be given a chance.
 Though it is getting pretty warm to play here it is likely that Prescott will be brought down to play the All Stars ln August. and September. About the later date professional baseball will begin to be talked, and the winter lea que proposition will come up for final settlement. Dave Goldberg was yes terday in receipt of a card from Cy Young III. who like the other Browns are keeping in touch with the Arizona situation.
