SLAUGHTERED BY THE
 BLOOMER GIRLS
They Shut Out the Valley Nine
 Doubts and Suspicious Raised.

There were more cries of "Go easy, Mabel" at Eastlake park yesterday when the Bloomer Girls started off in the first inning with four runs and finished the game by shutting out the local nine to the tune of to 0. It all happened because Miss waddell was in the box. She shot in a curve tfi,ft sort 'of twisted it's tail as it went over the plate.> and none of the local men could straighten it out.
 There was no talk yesterday about courtesy to ladies. All rules of eti- qette were suspended and the Valley nine went in for blood when the Bloom CTS began to roll up the score on them. Waddell pitched a slow ball which was in horrible contrast to the swift ones pitched by the bloomer man the sday before. The ball simply wiggled like a water snake. Once in a while Val ley man would scratch if on the outer edge, but hits were almost impossible.
 The fact that not a single Phoenix man reached third base is d sad com mentary on the game. Pitts holds the record of reaching farthest north. He go as far as Second base and was the only man to perform that feat. The general belief previous to the coming of the Bloomer Girls was that they were 'puddings." It is no longer thus. They are not buildings. but the tough est kind of boarding house steaks.
 The disaster in the first inning came suddenly and seemed to take the sap out of the local players. Kill. the big chief. was in the box and the Bloomers found him rather frequently. Later in the game they hit him with surpris- ing ease. while Waddell continued to throw her crafty. snakey curves while man after man famed.
 - Those who saw the Boomers play are still sDeculating as to just how many of them are really girls. No doubts were expressed till they began to play ball It seemed almost i'm - possible for mere girl. as it were, to throw such terrific balls as some of them did. After that, people began to notice the girls some. They could be distinguished from the men players by the rear extension of hair that most of them wore. It was generally con ceded that four of the five were really girls but the one with the Titan hair came in for some suspicion. It was reported that this player, with the wealth of auburn hair removed and clothed actually in trousers. was seen on the streets last night.
 The Bloomer Girls left last night for Globe. They say they may come back next year provided the valley boys have nerve enough to play them again.

But a few feet to one side, the bluff might be precipitops or straight up, while at the other side it would re- treat very raidly so that one only needs to make a short jump sometimes to get into deep water on one side. This is only generally descriptive for with every change of a foot or two in the elevation of the reservoir pond. there might be a change in the character of the landing.
 Neither the name of the driver nor the owner of the freight outfit could be learned definitely. but it was un- derstood the outfit belonged to the old Dominion company of Globe. Wheth- CT the cargo is underneath and held on the bottom by the wagon was not learned. If it is when the wagon is raised the lumber will probably come to the surface and can be picked up with the use of the numerous row boats and motor launches on the lake. It will be an inconvenient job to get the wagon out of the lake. but it can be done no doubt by the use of tackle and teams on the hillside. The horses of course had no chance for their lives. being held under the water by the harness, or even if rising to the surface could not liberate themselves from their network of straps.
 The ferry boat is only a temporary arrangement. the service being without charge and provided only for the con- venience of settlers on the Tonto. When the dam is finished there will be no need for it. as d driveway will surmount the dam. The ferry boat is practically q barge aud has no power. Until recently it has been navigated by tow line from motor boat, but a short time ago the motor boat that had been in daily use for year demanded repairs that put it out of commission until new parts could be secured. Since then the ferry has been operated by two men with immense paddles after the manner of the galleys in the days of long ago and while the speed at tained has not been notable the men have been doing good work, making a crossing in from twenty to thirty min utes.

FOUR LIVES LOST
 ONE JEOPARD|zEO
THE SURVIVOR WAS A MAN-THE
 OTHER FOUR WERE HORSES.
Report Of Maritime Disaster on Lake
 Roosevelt.

News was received here yesterday of on the north side of the Roosevelt reservoir. The nine-foot beam trans reservoir liner that plies between Roosevelt and the Tonto landing. loaded with d four-horse wagon and team carrying d cargo of lumber, list ed to one side and the vehicle horses. driver and cargo were preclpitated into the water. The horses were drowned and the driver, whose name was not learned, escaped narrowly, being held under the water as long as q man can stay there and come out again alive. Ii is supposed the accident happened yesterday, as it was first learned here by a telephone message to the recla- nation service offices. The ferry boat is thirtysix feet long, so that four horse team and loaded wagon rather overtaxed the capacity of the boat which is only three feet and three inches from deck to beam Whether the boat was capsized was not reported but presumably it righted itself as soon as relieved of its cargo. The incident occurred as the boat was landing on the north side one cable had been made fast, but the other had not and the boat which had been listing slight ly throughout the voyage, probably swung around somewhat parallel with the bank and pitched the horses and wagon into deep water.
 The landing point is variable one as a moments reflection will suggest to the reader. It cannot be station ary one. because the water in the reser- voir is constantly rising or lowering, especially under recent condition. The road from the north side goes diagon- ally down a precipitous hill and is so constructed that there is a very feasi- ble grade from the road on and off the boat, one that a team can usually pull a load over all right if the boat is moored with the angle of the road.
