SIueeerS Fail to Slug.

| MOrenCi took the local team into
 camp Sunday in a rather one sided
 contest, to the tune of 9 to ?. The
 story of the defeat is told in a few
 words. Clifton could do nothing with
 Randall's pitching, and the all round
 good fielding and hitting of the
 visitors gave them a well earned
 victory.
 The slaughter might not have been
 so bad if-but what's the use? The
 defeat was bitter enough dose with
 out trying to fasten any responsi-
 bility, and no matter what excuses
 could be made we can't take the
 credit away from Morenci, and
 Randall's effective work.
 It seemed to be an all round off day
 for the locals. The hitting was away
 below par. Good timely hitting has
 been one of the chief features of the
 locals, work this seas0u, but it was conspicuous only by its absence Sun day, and the fielding was a little ragged in spots too. To sum it all up in the poetical language of the Chino. "Stling bloke."
 McCleary started in on the local slab, but after Morenci had scored three in the second and fourth, Rigby came to his rescue. For the remain ing five innings the couth-paw pitched good ball and the two runs Morenci scored on him were no fault of his. Ellis Williams retired at the end of the fifth as he was feeling under. the weather and Dean Mason took his place. The little fellow is a brother of "Dauber" our third cushion guar dian, which is sufficient introduction to assure him hearty welcome. He may have been a little excited or over anxious for his fielding was a little off. However he impressed the people very favorably and great things are expected of him in the future games. "Dauber" played a fast game at third and Brooks catch ing won round after round of ap- plause. On the whole the team made d good showing, when Randall's work is taken into consideration, and both players and spectators took the defeat in good spirit.
 The "stiing bloke'' in the first. After Webster had been hit and on Wares sacrifice, Wolfe raised fly to left center, that would have been pickings for either of our felders. But the dispatcher got his wires crossed with the result that Smiley and Pete collided, Wolfe going to second and Webster scoring. The next two were easy outs. The locals evened things up in their half. Caul walked, took second on Scanlan's sacrifice, and third on Kelly's bounce off the plate. A balk was called on Randall and Caul scored.

 In the third Morenci went down one, two, three, E. Mason making a very pretty play on Wilson's grounder. For the locals Caul and Scanlan famed and Kelly grounded to second.
 McCleary hit Volbreckt in the fourth. Randall beat out bunt. Webster's sacrifice advanced them a threw Volbreckt out at the plate, and it looked like the locals would pull out of a bad hole; but Wolfe's hit went through Williams and two scored. Wolfe broke for third on throw to second and Caul overthrow the bag, Wolfe scoring. The locals lost a good chance to score. Mac led off with screaming single and ad vanCed on E. MasOn's sacrifice.
