 The Phoenix High school took the third and deciding game with the Tempe Normal yesterday afternoon at Eastlake park by a score of to 5. It was marred by ragchewing in the early stages, but despite this unpleas- ant feature was a rather snappy and interesting game. The Normals spoil ed their own chances of winning by stupid base running Millett had poor control of his curves and his support around second cushion was weak. The High school was superior in team work and Hurley had the best of the Normal batters in a number of in- stances.
 He has a "Cy Young" forearm un derhand yank. which promises much with another years development and experience. If he improves next sea son as this one. no scholastic nine will have any chance with the High school team, provided the same qual- ity of support is to be had. From the fifth on. no Normalite secured a hit and though couple of bases on balls were given the Tempe aggregation never had d ghost of show of SCOT ing. Taken all the way through it was H\much more intelligently played game than some of the amateur exhibitions of recent date.
 Lynch. the first Normal up. was easy from pitcher to first. Dykes scored on an infield error, but Millett and Stanley were retired on strikes. Higley for the Highs tallied one in l.. 1t The Normal was sent to the woods in the order of batting in the second. Rambo's double. Wilkey's infield tap, Dunlap's single and a wild overthrow of first on Higley's. drive to right, stacked three tallies for the High school and gave them a lead which looked good for the game.
 The third opened with a mild ham mcring of Hurley; Lynch singled. Aver twO-based, and Lynch took third. Dykes sacrificed to second. and Lynch scored on the play Aver stole home while the first baseman dozed on his job. Millett hit for two bases but in the attempt to stretch it out for three stations died ignominiously from left to third. Although Millett struck out three in the last of the third. Jones registered on a huff at first base Of Ayers assist on Wilkey's infield ping.
 The Normal never scored after the third. though in the first of the fourth Stanley and Clifford singled. Blome hit a fielders choice and Stanley was forced at third. Clifford attempted a steal of the same corner and was kill ed from Jones to Hahn. Hansen end- ed il by flaming. The High school was shut out from the fourth on. Hurley whiffed. Higley received lease on life through tlrc contributory negligence of second baser. stole sec ond. but Blount did a windmill stunt and Hahn was out from Millett to first.
 In the fifth, Mullen was out from second to first, Lynch singled but Ayers pop-up furnished the weapon for q double killing. Jones went out from second to first Shrigley flied to center. and Rambo slit the air. Dykes opened the sixth with a fly to left MiIlett and Stanley couldn't connect with the spheriod. Another double knelI was rung up in the last of the sixth; Wilkey was hit by the pitcher Dunlap hit an infield fly and Wilkey was caught off first. Hurley flew out to first.
 Clifford fouled to Hahn. Blome miss ed three, Hansen walked and Mullen died from pitcher to first. Higley was easy from second to first. Blount drew a pass. Hahn singled him out to second, but Jones and Shrigley went out on infield taps. In the eighth Lynch took first on four wide ones and stole second. while Aver struck out and looked sheepishly guilty of possessing bad eye. Dykes went out from pitcher to first, and Millet foul ed out to Jones. Rambo for the Highs get there on d juggling feat at sec Ond. but was executed while trying a steal of second. Wilkey found the ball for a safe hit. but Dunlap hit to Mil lett and another double play was pull ed off
 Stanley was hit by pitcher. Clifford whiffed. Blome was easy from second to first and Hansen ended the Nor maj hopes with a fly to right. These latter sessions were very much abbre- viated and the whole game consumed little more than an hour and a quar- ter Tebben umpired but the Normal appeared to be dissatisfied with a number of decisions. Heretofore there has been no complaint on his work But the Normal can not lay their defeat to the decisions. as live base running and cleaner work on the part Of the infield would have made their chances brighter. The contest between the High school and the Pres colt Highs is looked forward to with much interest
