The Indian School Wins Its First Game In the Series For the Republican Cup, and Phoenix High School Loses Its First.

Score, yesterdays game: Indians 3, High School 9
 The game between the Indians and the Phoenix high school yesterday was an exhibition of errors on the part of both teams, carelessness, and perhaps. over confident playing on the part of the High schools. In a large measure the playing of the Coyotes lacked the snap and electricity of former games. The Coyotes batting was superior to the Indians, but their fielding was far below the delft work of the Redskins. The interesting and brilliant feature of the game was the field work of the Redskins. The speed and accuracy with which the ball got to the first basemans hands from the fielder was joy to see.
 The game was won and lost in the ninth. At the end of the seventh the hines were tied with a score of two runs each. The Coyotes realized their precarious position about this time and made strenuous efforts to get that much needed run that meant a perfect score. With the ninth inning staring them in the face, and a tied score, the Coyotes came in to bat. They were put out with surprising speed. Ben nett sent a litle one down to infield land succeeded in getting to first with it Hahn, who can usually be depend ed on in cases of emergency, famed out Higley let one drive down by second base. It was bad selection of territory, for the Indian second base man forced out Bonnet and then by swift double play caught Higley before he got to first.
 It was then up to the Coyotes to keep the Redskins from scoring in their last time at bat. A fresh man was put in the box. Fannin, who was the third pitcher used by the Coyotes in the game. Fannin had a swift de- livery and a strong arm, but he wasn't able to fool the Indians with his brand of curves. Denetdeel was the first man up He sent one to short and was out. T. looked like one. two, three. but it wasn't Valenzuela stepped up to bat and sent a hit out to right field. Kill knocked to second and was put out. Patrick was hit by pitched ball and took first base with Valenzuela on sec ond With two men on bases Allis knocked to short, who fumbled. It was a swift ball and could hardly be counted dS an eTTOT Oil llt part Ol short The ball rolled away and was finally gathered in by left field and sent home too late to prevent Valen- zuela from scoring.
 One of the peculiarities of the game was the fact that the Coyotes made most of the hits The Redskins made but three hits but they were so placed that runs resulted. The Coyotes made seven hits and should have scored sev- eral times during the early part of the game had not several of the base run ners developed somnambulistic traits. The number of Coyotes who died on bases was large enough to fill grave yard A timely hit at almost any stage of the game would have saved the Coyotes bacon, but psychological moments came and went like the flow CTS of spring and third base was the bier of many stalwart Coyote.
 Each side had six errors to their discredit but the Redskins craftily spread their errors over nine innings So that they did not count for so much, while the Coyotes punched the errors instead of the hits with serious re- suits
 Word was received last night that the outcome of the game was received with whoops of joy over in Tempe.
