CLIFTON WINS Ell PASO SERIES.
Lost First Game and Then Scored Double
Victory On Sunday.

The Clifton ball team, like a stone
wall, journeyed to Ell Paso last week
and succeeded in defeating the
strengthened E p. & 5. w. team two
out of possible three games on their
home grounds, thus scoring the first
victory the Clifton team has brought
home from the outside field. BY the
Ell Paso victory Clifton has clearly
demonstrated that it is easily the
champion and Mr.. Stiles is now
scratching his head to figure out just
how it happened.
After the hard trip to Ell Paso Fri
day the Clifton team appeared on the
diamond in rather poor form the fol-
lowing day, their batting lamps hav-
ing been filled with sand and they
could not connect with the missiles de-
livered by Gutierrez wien hits meant
runs. After the smoke had cleared
away Clifton was found to be in the
background to the tune of 60. by no
means pleasant realization when it
| is considered that Ell Paso was charged
errors and hits. Gutierrez struck
out and Harmon 10. According to
Ell Paso papers Harmon allowed all
hits in one inning, allowing Ell Paso
to earn three runs, and three others
were donated for good measure. The
only way the ERA can figure it out Is
/ that the MOrenCI Leader INDUCED in
| Just d little too much wind jam
ming and blew Harmon so high that
| he had to take tumble. With all
due respect to Mr.. Harmon tor his
valuable services rendered the team,
and it is known that he did his best,
the Leader should learn TO treat the
Clifton team with more courtesy.
The locals borrowed Harmon because
they thought he was d good pitcher
and did not expect to be ridIculed by
the Leader for the offense. In order
to answer the Leaders question as to
what become of the Clifton pitchers
just refer to the scores Of the three
games. The local bows are certain
that Manager Cummings of the Mo
renci team had nothing to do with
the article in the Leader and if VT
need Il good pitcher again We will
prOpably call on Mr.. Harmon for as
sistance.
After the unexpected defeat III

After having been encouraged by
victory i'll the first game, the local,
warmed DIP and dealt the Southwest
ern team a blow from which they will
never recover. 1t was all on account
of Bdroldy'S glass arm, which held
them down to three hits and one
run, although six passes were given
Ell PaSO WAS up against the real thing
while Clifton pounded Mooney all ov'
er the field, securing 10 hits and max.

boys put up their usual fielding game,
there being but one error, which was
made by Mason. FL Paso had six.
Thus closed the struggle between the
