 Yesterdays clash between the Ma rooms and Fraternals is the most talked about game of the city league
 series, and it crammed the grand stand full of rooters of both aggrega- ltions. On account of the contest be- ing on the winners take-a all basis, it keyed up the players and fans to a higher pitch than the eleven inning contest of last Sunday. The Maroons lcame out something over $100 to the good, while the Frats are wearing elongated faces with chins sagging on their breast bones, It was a terrific struggle while the mercury was try ing to shove out through the roof. But the heat didn't faze the Maroons, whose joints always unlimber better lwhen the weather Is going from bad to fierce. The Frats sweated and panted and almost had the money won. But in the last of the eighth something began rasping on Williams nerves-he had been steady as a clock-and three singles and an error pushed the winning run over the plate.
 The game was seesaw all the way along. First. Prices face was like lump of putty, then HerZberg's knees began to wobble. When Prices chin Topped, HerZberg's went up like trap door and smiles broke out over his phiz thick as the measles. These two managers countenances were | kaleidoscope of Hitting emotions. Their hearts were kept bobbing be- tween their scalps and their in-soles, as the balance tettered unsteadily. The Maroon hostiles went off jolly in the opener with one tally, Quiros tossing. That way it remained. with tn e Fraternals coming up to bat and walking back to the field again. Not a single hit was gouged from the stingy l.. Quiros' delivery, who dished them up for four rounds. True, the Frats did tie the affair in the fourth Ion a base on balls. stolen base. a passed ball and misplay at third but still Quiros had the best of it. In the beginning, the campaign mapped out was for each of the three Maroon twirlers to pitch three innings apiece. But QuirOs was allowed to stay in four. He was not tired, but Grijalva wanted to try his paw with the pellet Three classy swats were driven out and three tallies jingled in ! the pan, putting the Frats ahead. Delgado went in the box after that inning and stemmed the tide the rest of the game, only one safe lick being hooked from his steady shoots. The Maroons were blue till the seventh, when they succeeded in tying the score.
 There was so much at stake that both hines showed a degree of ner- vousness. The Fraternals fell way down in their batting while the Ma rooms hit with regularity, and in the pinches came up and smOte the ball. The Fraternals had several chances to pile up runs, had they secured a timely bingle But somehow their best batters could not locate the benders and the game was lost There were several peculiar plays on both sides With two on sacks, Morris dropped a third strike and in fear of the man on third coming home,
 
 bases. Pedro stepped into a like trap. Men on first and second, the batter famed, the third strike got away; the batter was out, however, but Pe- dro forgot and threw to first and both runners advanced a base. Tevis | caught a fly in right but couldn't di- i vorce himself from it and allowed a run to score on the put-out.
 
 Morris cut off a runner going to sec ond. while a man was glued at third | in fear of his life. The game was so close that every move counted for | something one way or the other, so that every Frat is blaming every | other Frat for his part in the defeat | Williams had discouraging support at | times, but the clustering of hits in the eighth was partly responsible also. When Louie pried the first open, he famed out two men and assisted in the killing of the third.
 Pedro grounded out and Frank fol- lowed with a siZZler which eluded Mill let at second. Manuel forced him at second and two were gone. Manuel then chased to second on a steal, and Castro trotted out with a timely left field smash and Manuel scored the first run. Mitchell popped one in left field which Luna should have handled but Scott touched it. Morris flied to center and a double play was at but the ball went through Castro's mitt and Mitchell ambled to second. Towers ended it right there by chopping at three.
 Both sides went out in rotation in the third. In the first half of the fourth Millet did some good base run hing, after having been walked to first. He purloined second, went to third on a passed ball; Sullivan and both famed and there were two strikes on Williams. Millett danced temptingly off third and Pe- 1ro shot the ball to Manuel, who lost it and Millett's run tied the score The next ball Williams hoisted to
