| cuckoo clock and sent the balls over
| the plate. Every once in a while the
| locals Strengthened one out for a hit
| but they were scattered. When the
Phoenix boys did touch up the ball
for what looked like an oyer-the-
fence hit there was nearly always
fielder under il who dragged IL
out of the sky.
Some star plays were made by the
local men. We would gladly record
the same fact for the visitors, but
after suffering two successive defeats
and a slaughter in the first the rest
of their game was not one that
sparkled with brilliant plays. In the
eighth Ciow--he with the green suit,
like the moss on a mill wheel-per-
formed the remarkable feat of steal
ing a base while the pitcher held
the bali. II was an Inning OF errors
and Glow took advantage of the
dazed condition of some of the visit
ors by making the great theft of
third while whiriwind Wilson was
wondering what to DO next. Warner
sent n grounder- to second, which was
fumbled. Spaulding hit safe to right
and Warner got as far as third on
threw to third to catch Warner off
his base but the third baseman
fumbled and Warner scored Glow
then got a base on balls. Wilson
then threw to first to catch Glow
mapping and the first baseman drop
ped the ball while Glow moved on
the;Nnext bag. Wilson was naturally
somewhat disheartened at the failure
OF these attempts to catch the base
runners. He turned toward home
plate and scratched his nose While
he was doing il Glow got to third.
He then scored on Whitmer's hit to
center
Another player who did stellar
work for the home team was Ia
rantula Duhnson. His nimbleness in
picking up the ball and shooting it
to first was remarkable. In one
instance he dropped a swift grounder
and apparently the runner had plen-
ty of time to get to first; but he
didn't. Duhnosn rose on his resilient
legs, dove for the ball and drove it
to first like a cannon shot Beside
this players ability to pick up a ball
quicker than anybody else in ART
IONA he raised his batting average
yesterday by making a three base
hit in the first inning,
Ayers pitching was steady and
puzzling to the visitors. Toward the
end of the game it was thought by
some that he would give the visitors
a complimentary run-in short that |
he would let up a little and get care
less. But he did nothing of the sort |
IL - Alt
to the last and won the distinction of |
shutting out the Prescott team.
Warner, at short, and Whitmer at |
center were among the heavy bat
tiers. As. an all around player, one
who can be depended on at every |
stage of the game, whether it is for |
a hit or for the fielding of diff |
cult grounder, Warner is one of the /
best of the younger players in the |
territory.
In fact lit would seem from the
series just completed with Prescott |
that Manager Rudolph will have to
lake his nine out of the territory to
find worthy antagonist. OF course
there is Tucson and some more games /
will probably. be played with them,
but if the same personel of the
team is continued it is diff
iieult to see how: even Tucson with
ner experts, win be able to admin
ster. very crushing defeat to the /
Salt River nine
The next game the Salt River Val
ey nine will play will be with Tue
son next Sunday. This will be the
asst game to be seen in Phoenix till
he Fourth of July. Rudolph says he
S looking for pretty stiff game
with Tucson. There is some chance
