 CANANEA, Oct 4.-Outbatted, out fielded, outpitched. outplayed and outclassed. explains why Douglas lost the last two scheduled games of the season that her team had on the local grounds, by overwhelming scores. Perhaps, when their glaring weak spots are considered, they did all men may; playing the game until the final inning with unabated ginger and looking into an inevitable defeat with becoming grace. There was no sulking. Although supported badly, Kane did not quit in his game on Saturday. Hit after hit (Texas leaguers) were popped up over the in- fielders that the dauntless Cananeans would have turned into easy outs. Occasionally a screaming drive would enliven things. but with a better grade of fielding, Kane's hit allowance would have been less generous. al i though his pitching was not good enough at any time to vanquish the best team in the Southwest. Reardon was superb, and could have had a shut out but for a relaxation of vigilance in the eighth inning. Max and Colbath have carried rabbits feet, hung burro ears over their beds at night and passed many an hour in a gypsy's tent in vain endeavor to distract this eighth inning hoodoo. but apparently the spell cannot be broken.
 Cananea piled up enough runs in the first inning of Sundays contest to reach beyond the strongest efforts of the Shelter City lads; but, not satisfied with that, a bombardment was directed at the diminutive Rube Walters in the fourth, which not only fattened the long hit averages of the locals, but gave the Douglas outfeld- CTS some strenuous exercise as well. Rube was hit hard, but took his med icine like the good little man he is. Dram went in to relieve Thomas in the seventh, not because the speed marvel needed relief, but to let the southpaw of the kinks out of his arm. | Maag, O'Donovans' latest Iollypop showed up to the good on third. He's a real balIplayer and with two more men of his qualifications, the Demons will be going different stride. If Douglas was a hundred runs behind. Ford, Cobb, Harper and Pelkey would be playing the same as if it was an eighteen inning game
 Cananea was not at her best in this series. Reinhardt, the ground coverer, was not able to be at his position on short. Baroldy came in from the outfeld, where he is a star. and filled the speedy Texans shoes. Colbath was sick man but played in each game. He deserves the glad hand for playing at all.
 Douglas missed Roland Wolfe, but Cananea has been missing Hugh Dugan for many moons Honors even there until Truesdale came two dSO.
 This is the last local fandom will see of Douglas until next spring. The rivalry between the two cities has been strong, though clean. Perhaps some bitterness has prevailed at times, but all that has been forgotten now. Their failure to bring an ex cursion over inclines onto the belief that the fans of Furnace Town do not offer as much cheer to their team when it's record ebbs as they do at flood time, but they will change that tendency when they have had team a season or so. Adios Douglas until the winter snOws have come and gone.
