Bankers b. c. & A. 9.

Alas. for the hopes of that newly
organized base ball team
gotten together expressly 10 beat
the Bisbee bankers. The team is
known as the c. and A. Hurting
lyurlers. but the Biting Bankerinos
wOrsted them The C. and A. made
eight runs at that, but the Bankers
made twelve. However. according
to Victor Morley, that's another part
Of the story.
Wimp essayed TO pitch for the
c. and A. and got away well. but in
the fifth inning they bingled and
bungled behind him. That let in
three runs. In the fourth he went
rather bad. walking four men and
hitting one. This. coupled with a
hit by Blair for three sacks. netted
four runs. In the eighth a success
sion of singles counted three more.
Blair worked for the bankers. and
while his strikeout record wasn't
as great as that OF Wimp, he manag
ed to keep the hits scattered. The
first two rounds was the only time
they hit him consistently. Then Re
steadied and there was not much
doing thereafter.
