Clifton 7. MOrenci 4.

after an interesting game Morenci bit the dust, and the sting of last weeks defeat is forever effaced.
 When the Cardinals trotted on the field, the Morenci rooters heaved a sigh of relief for it was seen that Williams and Brock were missing from the line up. It has always been an iron clad rule among the Morenci supporters never to bet until their club had a three or four run lead, but when they saw the way Mc[lveen had to shift his team around, some of the sports got real reckless.
 Robbie Scanlan appeared on the firing line for the locals and had every thing needed. All but two of Mo renci's hits were of the scratch variety, and he was particularly effective in tight places.
 Kelly who handled the receiving end of the battery covered himself with glory while the work of McIlveen at short was nothing short of phenom- inal. McCleary covered the initial sack with plenty of class, and all the rest of the joy combination performed their usual stunts. While speaking of features we can't overlook the work of Wolfe, Morenci's left fielder. He made several circus catches that robbed Clifton of hits, and saved Morenci from a severe slaughter. In fact his work was the only redeeming feature of Morenci's play.

Wynne strode to the plate with fire in his eye. The Morenci rooters called on him to save the game. And did this 800 man worry Robbie? He tossed over three slow "hoaters'' and Wynne made an awful dent in the gentle summer breeze. And maybe Robbie didn't get the glad hand.
 Just to save the rooters from any anxiety, the locals put the game on ice in the ninth. Kelly turned loose a three-bagger to center, to start things. Caul famed and Riley was thrown out at first. With two down McIlveen was again passed, and i'm mediately stole second while Ashley held the ball. Then Mason poled one against the right field fence for two bags and Kelly and McIlveen scored.
