BlOOMER GIRLS WIN
 FROM VALLEY NINE
The Score in Ten Inning Game Is
 tc for Visitors.

The Salt river valley nine removed their hats and bowed low till their noses touched the earth to the Bloom metaphor to convey the information that the valley nine was licked by a parcel of women. The score was to 6 and it took ten innings tn do it.
 Phoenix started off in fine shape and gathered in three runs in the first. The Boomers got one in the second and then in the awful fifth they made five runs while the Grandstand yelled to them to quit it and go easy. Mabel" but the Boomer Girls yelled back. You're too slow to catch cold" and went on making runs. Phoenix tied the score in the seventh and then neither nine made anything till the tenth. when the Bloomers pulled off one more and won the game.
 Although the grounds were heavy with damp earth and the day was not the best for the game. a very fair exhibition was given with the excep- ton of the sixth inning. In this the local team did some acrobatic stunts and went to pieces entirely. They picked mp in the se:enth and played a first rate game for the rest of the afternoon.
 Some of the girls did mighty good work and out played and out-batted the four men on their own team. The grandstand, which was ragged about the edges like an old quilt, made up for lack of numbers in wild applause whenever the girls made sky rockets plays. There was constant and amusing stream of remarks from the stand. At one time Gossage, who re- placed Miss Waddell in the box after the first inning. threw a terrific ball to the second basegirl. Someone in the crowd yelled. Don't throw it so hard Don't you know you are throw ing to lady?' At other times the played left field to arrest d baserunner for pumping into d lady.
 After the game Manager Galbraith of the Boomers said that he would sign up Duhnson, the Phoenix third baseman. if the latter would accept Galbraith said Duhnson was one of the cleverest and fastest third, base men he had ever met.
 The Bloomer Girls did all sorts of things to Quiros. the local pitcher. They whacked long ones out in various parts of the field and some of the longest hits of the day were made by the girls One girl in particular who wore Titan hair, threatened the back fence every time she stepped up to bat. She walked like d man and batted and threw like q man. and there were some among the spectators who questioned the genuiness of that rear extension of auburn hair. However. whether the hair is genuine or not will have little bearing in settling the question of sex in these days of extreme hrSute fashions.
 Miss Waddell started the game. but was knocked out of the box in the first. Morris and Rudolph made hits from her delivery and three runs re suited. In the second the Boomers made run from wild throw. pitcher to first.
 In the fifth Quiros hit Miss Waddell who was at bat. on her south paw, so that she had to blow on it to cool it. In this inning Duhnson made one of the fastest and prettiest plays of the game. Amber. a high school student who vas playing with the Boomers on account of his good looks. bunted the ball It fell few feet from the home plate, vet Duhnson from third base bounced on it and threw to first before either the catcher or pitcher could get the ball.
 When Phoenix went to bat Sull- van was hit in the leg to make up for the attack on Miss Waddell. The sixth opened with Miss McCarty. she of the Titan hair, at the bat. She got first on balls. McCabe knocked to Rudolph. who fooled with the ball. Sarver made a hit and Morris, the Phoenix catcher, threw a trifle high to first. Two runs resulted. Miss Goldberg sacrificed and then Gossage knocked a pop fly in the infield. Three valiant valley men were under it when it came down. which was just two too many Nobody caught it and q riot of runs resulted.
