BASE BALL sUNDAY-The Gal

BASE BALL SUNDAY-The Gal pins and Maroons played game yes terday afternoon which was designat- ed as being base ball, that is it was advertised as such, but the only thing about the game that bore any resem- blence to base ball was the ball and the umpire, the players were away off and many of the fans laid the direct cause of the bad errors to the new suits which were worn for the first time by the Cabins, it would have been a shame to get them soiled and reaching for grounders made the trousers bag at the knees. At the last count, after the results were all in, the tally machine carried by the reporter, registered something like 26 to in favor of the Cabins, and the errors will be announced in the Tuesday morning edition of this paper as time is so short before going to press they cannot be summed uD with any de- gree of certainty. The boys can play base ball when they feel like it but they did not feel like it yesterday. Sullivan made a couple of good plays and as they were about the only ones during the game he was presented with a pound box of candy.

 KISSEA-KAR-One of the finest of the new automobiles in Phoenix now and the only one of its kind in the territory is '09 40 horsepower Kissel- Kar belonging to Leon T. Shettler.

 WHY THE SALE WAS INTER- RUPTED- Something happened at the sale at the Hammond auction house on Saturday that was perhaps without precedent in the history of the auction business There was an unusually large sale and the crowd was a record breaker. In the midst of it was brought to the notice of Mir. Hammond that he was overlook ing business in the district court. A divorce suit in which he was the plaintiff was on the tapis and some thing was going to be done with it right away. Moreover, his two as sistants were witnesses in the case. Hammond explained to the crowd that he was called away ou urgent business and would be gone not more than twenty minutes. The audience was invited to stay and make itself at home: h, warned his hearers that if anv th away he would do so at h fina- 'ncial risk. He hurrit his C. I1ecree and on his Fddrh co4..,~I lie crowd again. He found only one man gone and he looked as if he had no money. The sale then proceeded throughout the rest of the afternoon.
