?. H. $. WINS FROM NORMAL Coyotes Score in Ninth Inning
 OfSaVage Game
 THE RESULT WAS 4 ID 5 Jackrabbits and Coyotes Come Together For the First Time in The Repub- lican Cup Series For the Valley Championship.

One of the most exciting and fiercely fought games ever seen on a local dia- mond was that played at the Indian school grounds yesterday afternoon between the NormaIs and Phoenix high school in the Valley league series for The Republican cup. The Phoenix boys won in the ninth inning by a score of to 8.
 The game was witnessed by the largest crowd that has been assembled to see any of the other games in this series. The bleachers were filled to overflowing with the students of all three schools, and a large crowd pressed down on both sides of the dia- mond, at times getting so close to the lines that the players were hardly giv- en sufficient room. Many of those who witnessed the game were in car riages and automobiles. The game was played on the Indian grounds in- stead of Eastlake park, as at first planned, owing to the wet condition of the latter diamond.
 It was the first meeting of the Jack rabbits and Coyotes in the series. and as neither team had lost a game in terest in it was at fever heat.
 The winning of the game for the high school boys can be accredited to the cool and steady work of Arthur Hahn, who went in the box in the lat ter half of the sixth inning, after the Normals had scored three runs, making the score to ? in their favor 9 In the three and a half innings in which Hahn pitched he famed out seven men and permitted but one hit from his delivery. Tn addition to his excellent pitching, Hahn made four of the twelve hits made by the Coyotes and three of tn four runs This young man has developed in the past year into one of the strongest players the Coyotes can boast Of
 Up to the sixth inning the game was played with snap and vigor, each side holding down the other The Coyotes got in one run in the first and squeezed in another in the third, while the Nor mals had a row of zeros up to the sixth. The play thus far was practi- cally even. Hurley who pitched for the High schools. held the Jackrabbits down to a single hit, while Cuber, the Normal pitcher, famed one man after another and did not give a single man a base on balls. Cuber's form through out the game was well nigh perfect. At no time did he show any signs of a let up, though he was hit frequently much more so than any one expected. He threw with remarkable speed-a speed that no other pitcher in the val ley has yet equalled. While there was not great deal of curve to his balls, they were puzzling owing to the fact that he constantly varied a slower one with throw that came down on the batter like a cannon ball
 In most of the games of this series there has been one inning that proved disastrous to one side or the other. Yesterdays game was no exception. In the sixth inning the Coyote rooters a1- most lost heart. For short few min utes it seemed as though the high school boys were demoralized.
 Standage stepped up to the plate to bat for the JacBrabbits. He knocked a grounder to Higley at short. who fumbled. giving Standage first. Dykes sacrificed and Standage got to second on it. Aver knocked to Hahn on third and got to first safely. Aver stole sec ond and Morris got to first on balls. With three men on bases, Hurley, in the box, made a balk. The penalty for a balk is that each man is advanced one base. This permitted Standage to score. The next ball Hurley threw hit the batter, Blome, giving him first | base. Critchley was given a base on | balls. forcing Aver in for another run | At this point, with three men on bases, | Hahn was put in the box to get the | chestnUts out of the fire.
