MOrenci Clifton 9.

boys went in determined to win if possible, and while at the start there seemed to be small hope, the team put up such snappy uphill fight that it was only by the narrowest margin that Morenci finally managed to nose out ahead.
 Dumartrait made a good showing at short but the gap in the outfeld was. badly felt. For the second time this season just as the team has got ten iu good working order the with drawal of some player has left bad hole that necessitates switching the team around. To those who under stand the difficulties both manage ment and players have been laboring under the result of Sundays game is entirely satisfactory. The local sup porters are far from discouraged and while Morenci has good lead on the series we're going to get them all back-and then some.

 | is particularly pleasing to the fans the way the locals are running the bases. All the runs Sunday were the result of good heady base running coupled with consistent hitting. Had the tail end of the batting order con nected like the leaders there would have been different story to tell.
 The work of Scaplan in the box was satisfactory too. The south-paw hasn't had much chance to work out this year, but it looks now as if he is rounding into good shape. After his first inning Sunday he settled down and showed all kinds of speed, curves and control. He also uses his head all the time. For four successive innings Morenci did mt get a semblance of hit off him and the runs that were scored in the eighth and ninth were no fault of his. The summary follows:
