BALL GAME BREAKS UP IN ROW AT
 SAFFORD
CLAIMING UNFAIR DECISION, LO- CAL TEAM QUITS IN EIGHTH
 IRVING YESTERDAY
LOSE SATURDAY, WIN SUNDAY
ANOTHER GAME WILL BE SCHED- ULED TO DECIDE FORFEIT
 ED CONTEST

Globe won one game and lost another in the series with Safford, Saturday Sunday and Monday Technically. tht local boys lost the third game, as they quit in the eighth inning and Stafford was declared the winner.
 Globe declined to play out yester- days game on account of what they considered to be unfair and illegal de cisions on the part of Umpire Mcbride
 In the eighth inning, with the score 3 to in Stafford s favor, Graham, who was at bat, was hit by the pitcher The umpire called the batsman out claiming that he was out of position at the time.
 The Globe players protested against the action of the umpire, but he de clined to change his decision and the game went no further.
 There had been several disputes prior to the eighth inning. In one instance Mcclellan was called out because a foul ball hit him on the foot. There were number of disputes over deei- sion on bases and the local boys quit because they felt that they were being imposed upon by an umpire who did not know his business.
 There was no ill feeling between the two teams over the affair, Mitt Sims of the Stafford team expressing regret that the incident had occurred and of fering to make arrangements to play the game over at later date.
 Sundays contest went to Globe, l2 to {. The score was G to 6 at the end of the ninth inning. Mcclellan s kids batted out six runs in the tenth, how ever, and won the game, as the best the Mormons could do was to bring in one tally.
 The Globe team was very weak Sat urday and lost by the score of 6 to ?.
 A big crowd witnessed what was played of yesterdays game, and there was a fairly good sized crowd on hand at Sundays contest.
 Ramos was the star slugger of the series In the three games he rapped out a homer, two three baggers and two doubles. The other members of the team also showed up well.
 Rico pitched Saturday and Sunday for Globe and did well, with poor sup port Saturday. McAfee was spiked in the wrist Saturday, but he worked in good shape yesterday, allowing but five scattered hits up to the time the game broke up.
 It is probable that the two teams will meet again in n short time, to de eide the contested game.
