The Coyotes" and "Jack-
 rabbits" Are Now Tied For
 First Place in the Valley League Contest For The Republican Cup.

| The second game in the series for | the silver cup offered as a trophy by The Republican, was played yesterday at Eastlake park between the Indian and Phoenix High school and resulted in a score of 3 to 1 in favor of the High school The Coyotes and Jack rabbits are now tied for first place. Up to the fifth inning the game was | one of the sportiest exhibitions of base | ball that has been seen in Phoenix for many moons. At the beginning of that | terrible fifth inning the score was | to 0 with the Redskins in the lead. Not an error had been made by either side, every play being carried out with snappy precision. In the fifth the tide turned. The history of that disastrous | inning tells the story of the game Orme stepped up to bat for the Coy otes He flew to third and was out. | Then Hurley picked up the stick and sent grounder to short. This Is what 1 caused all the trouble. Denetdeel, the | Indian. fumbled, and Hurley rested easily on first. Then Higley famed | out. making the second. Bennett was given a walk to first and Hurley nov | ed on to second. With two men on | bases Coach Jones came up to bat
 Prof. Jones shaded his eyes with his | hand as he looked over the field to select the exact spot in which to place 1 the ball He let the first ball go by | end swung hard on the second. The | leather sphere winged its flight over the heads of the pitcher. shortstop and center fielder. By this time it had | ceased rolling and been gathered in by | the out field Jones on second and Hurley and Bennett had scored.
 Arthur Hahn then drove the ball to ! short, who fumbled again, permitting | Hahn to make first. While this was going on Jones stole third. Hahn stole l second and when Tolleson sent a sin | gle to right both men scored. making ! the result to 1 for the Coyotes. An l other run was made by Phoenix in the | seventh
 One of the surprises of the game was the playing of Orme on first. He | is a new man and was put on first as an experiment by Coach Jones. He ! played an errorless game and when his | time to bat came surprise every one by | making a double and a single, or two of the five hits made by the Coyotes. After the game this young man put up yesterday his place on the nine is as l sured Another of the new men who
 showed excellent form. was Irvine who | played in the last inning only, yet it
 was long enough for him to make a
 pretty running catch out in center field.
 Kill. who pitched for the Indians,
 
 threw a speedy ball but without much
 twist to it. He famed 10 men and
 gave 3 bases on balls. His pitching | was steady and even in the disastrous
 fifth he showed no signs of going to
 pieces. Hahn, who pitched the game
 for the High school. famed out seven
 and gave one only base on balls. Hahn
 has improved in his pitching tremend-
 ously since last year and has fairly
 earned his place in the box.
 Higley was injured in the first inn
 ing by a collision with one of the In dians. He remained in the game how ever, but the single error he made is attributable to his sprained ankle. The game was umpired by A. H . Tebben and at no time were any of his decisions questioned by either nine. The grandstand was filled with large delegation from both schools.
