GOOD CAME, BUT
LONG DRAWN OUT
Ell Paso Takes Saturday
Game From Cananea,
With Anderson in
the Box.

Ell Paso put the first of the glorious
Fourth games on ice Saturday after
noon to the ratio of to 3 Anderson
made his initial appearance before the
local fandom and his exhibition proved
as interesting as of old when he was
attraction enough to fill the stand. The
fact that Andy was eXnected to work
Sunday kept many of his devotees away
at the week end game. Anderson was
a trifle wild at times, especially at the
beginning of the game, and the shift
which had been made by putting Mer-
rift on short and Gray behind the bat
was switched back and Gray went TO
short after he had let a pair of passed
balls and a wild pitch get by him for
score. Anderson is the hardest man
in the league to catch, and Gray made
a world of friends by his attempt be-
hind the bat and his Willingness to ex-
change with Tex when it was seen that
the big catcher could not hold the left
handed phenom. Gamble pitched
two innings, when the ID Pasoans
waded into his curves as if they meant
to bat him out of the lot He was
wilder than Anderson and allowed six
bases on balls besides hitting two of
the Ell Paso players.
Fast Ball.
Both clubs played fast ball, although
the game was dragged out over more
than two hours. DeWiggins, the new
umpire, was an accessory TO the fact,
for he allowed the delays and did not
hold the clubs up TO the speed limit,
as he usually does. His umpiring was
entirely satisfactory, however, and he
had the best of every close decision
Jackson at first played the stellar game
for Ell Paso. He accepted every chance
when he was within city block of 1t
but one, and that was a high bounce
in the sun which he could not see- He
saved Hewitt and Gray an error each
by reaching out and stabbing down
their Wild pegs with his gloved hand
He also made another long running
catch of a high foul fly over by the
score board.
Gowan Makes First Score.
Merritt scored Gowan in the first inn
ing after Duck had got on first by
playing a waiting game and getting
base on balls. Earthman sent Gowan
to second on a sacrifice and Jackson
advanced him to third with an easy
putout. Then Tex Merritt hit safe to
short center and Gowan galloped home
Baroldy scored first for Cananea on
wild pitch. which went past Gray, in
the escond inning. He had advanced
to third on a pair of passed balls and
scored when the balls shot into the
fence Spider Adams scored again in
the third on a single by Bob Whaling
over second base. This was the extent
of the Cananeas scoring Saturday.
FL Paso Begins Playing.
FL Paso spruced UP in the sixth. when
Hewitt and Rumsey both scored on
single to left and a free base when
Rumsey got hit by the pitcher. They
made It two more in the seventh and
closed the account. Jackson laid down
a punt along third base; Jackson man
aged to score on a squeeze by Ketchum,
who beat out the bunt to first and was
credited with an infield hit. Merritt
scored from third when Ketchum al
lowed himself to get caught between
first and second in an attempted steal
This ended the scoring on both sides
Change In Fielders.
Bill Goodman got a cramp in his
bad leg and was relieved by Barclay.
who was playing left field Thomas
went into the left garden and made one
beautiful stop of Hewitt's two Dagger,
which he stabbed down to a single.
