On Saturday and Sunday next the
Clifton base ball team will play at
Ell Paso with the E. L. & S. w. team
which was here last week. OF course
they will come home with three
scdlps in their belts. One week from
Saturday the tournament with the
heavy team from Cdnanea will begin.
A series of six games will be played,
three between Clifton and Cananea
and three between MOrenci and Can
anea. These promise to be the most
interesting games thus far this sea-
son, as the Cdnanea team has won
the large slice of the seasons games.
Morenci has strong tear, and the
Clifton team is not in the down and
out class by any means.

DURING the past week two new re-
publican newspapers have been
launched, the Weekly Record at
Globe and the Weekly Tribune at
Tucson. They are both neatly print
ed papers and by their pronounced
cleanliness will represent the repub-
Iican party in a judicious manner. 1t
seems that the majority of the new
newspapers in the territory are
starting on the right side of the
fence.

Bay Shannon, Harry Hink, Perry
Jones and AL Smithers arrived
this week with bunch of 100 beef
cattle for the Clifton Meat and Cold
Storage company. The cattle are
from the Warren ranch on Eagle
which is now the property of George
Webster and Bay Shannon. They
are without doubt the latest beef
that will be brought to the local mar
ket this season. A bunch comprising
a similar number arrived in Clifton
a couple of weeks ago, which is the
reason for the sudden improvement
in beef in Clifton.

SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

The afternoon game was the most
closely contested of the series. For
the first three and a half innings
there was nothing doing in base-run-
ming for no one got beyond first. In
Clifton's half of the fourth Harrigan
walked, advanced to second on a wild
pitch, made third on Longwell's hit,
and while Longwell was stealing sec
ond managed to score. Barclay put a
long fly to center on which Longwell
advanced to third and scored when
Mason layed down a bunt. Ward
struck out. FL Paso tied the score in
the fifth on a hit, two errors and a
sacrifice, but Clifton made the win
ming run in their half when Harrigan
led off with a two-bagger, took third
on Baroldy's sacrifice and scored on
Woolen's error which allowed Mason
to reach first. This finished the score
