 WINS GAME Tucson-PhOenk Series Ends in Poorly Played Contest ABUNDANCE OF ERRORS
And Free Passes to First Lose Game For Locals, Charity Forbids Publication of Box Score Interest Held by Several Clever Plays.

In the last game of baseball which will be played in this city during the present season the Salt River valley lost to the team from the Old
 Pueblo by a score of seven to ten
 The game was the third in which the two teams have met, and as each had one to their credit before the contest yesterday the series goes to
 Tucson, and with it as far as can be figured the championship of the section Although they have twice been bested by rne lads from Tue
 son, the local team has won six out of the nine games which they have played. and thus their percentage of games won is higher than that of most teams. Throughout the series the local team has played
 consistently good ball and when they get together after the summer vacation they ought with practice and probably with some slight change in the lineup to make one of the strongest teams in the territory.
 The game was of the seesaw order, one team lGdulflS anu AiitAl NAAN pSAANAf and although the game was at times very poorly played, yet the score being close the interest in the con- test was maintained until the finish. It was not until the first half of the ninth that the game was clnched by the team from Tucson, and even then it was thought that the valley boys had some chance to overcome the lead of three runs, as the strongest section of their batting or der was up and the pitcher from the southern city had been touched once or twice before in the game
 However. all of the stick artists failed to make the desired bingle, and the mighty Glow coming to the bat in the ninth with two men down famed out in languid fashion merely to end the agony.
 In spite of the verdict of the fans that the game was d poor one seV- eraI plays were pulled off which were startlers and which would have called forth an ovation on any dla- mond in the country. Two were throws to the home plate, each Of which caught the runner, who had been waiting at the third sack ready to make the sprint for the count when the fielder should catch the flv. The first of the thrillers was made by Stevenson, of the locals, who caught a fly in deep right and winged the ball on a line to Morris in time to catch Godfrey several feet from the plate. A similar play was made by Sullinger, of the visit
 NHTh made a throw which caught Scott off the plate by such distance that the local man turned around and at tempted to run back to third. MT. Pacheco, of the visitors, who was at tired in a natty suit of a hue that would have made glad the heart of any son of Erin and trimmed with white braid, made a hit with the fans and made a stop which was one of the best ever seen on the local grounds. A ball had been thrown to first, but came on the ground and far to the right. Pacheco made dive and caught the ball as he came down upon the earth at full length. Several other fast plays were made in spite of the fact that the wind and the disagreebale dust made the work of the fielders very diff cult.
 Cuber was hardly up to his usual standard, allowing entirely too many men to walk. although he pitched himself out of a hole several times when things looked dark. Yester- day however, his control was not so good as usual, and in the late in nings he was not as effective as he had been in the two former games with the Puebloites. For the visitors the first man in the box was Smiley. a slab artist of the languid delivery type, whose seeming idea was to appear to be as nearly inanimate as possible. However, his slow de,iv- cry was effective and although sev- eral hits were made off his slants, stfll he held down his end of the game very well. Gonzales went in for the visitors in the fifth, and the locals succeeded in getting only one run off his shoots.
 The game by innings: First in ning-Hudson was given free pass to first and stole second; he was sac rificed to third by Wood, who was also safe on slow play. Hudson scored and Wood went to second on sacrifice hit by Suliinger, who was out, second to first. Godfrey famed and Turner sent up a foul fly which was gobbled up by the catcher. Ru- dolph went to first on base on balls and was sacrificed to second by Warner, who sent one to the first baseman Scott famed and Glow sent up a fly which was handled by the second baseman.
