decisions according to best judgment

Truly, an umpire's life is a hard one.
According to advices from Cananea,
Woods did not make good, and Vic
Walling Is now going TO give Mackay
a chance on the job as jumps If it isn't
Mackay there are two other good ones
who might take up the task. They
are Ramon Armendariz, eff Cananea,
and Billy Graham. of Bisbee. Jimmy
Kerwin, second baSeman and outfiel6er
with the Maroons until he quit last
week, is also after the job. and has
written TO Walling regarding his
chances.
Pitcher Ben Fehrman, released over
two weeks ago from the Maroons by
manager Dial. has gone to Cananea.
He was sent for by Walling and asked
to report Immediately. If Fehrman
shows up like his friends here think
he can, he's secured a berth with the
across the border team for the season.
His release by the local mana cement
caused much dissatisfaction, fans claim
ing he wasn't given the proper oppor-
tunity They're all pulling for him to
stick with Cananea.
Louis Lamar, late of FL Paso, showed
up well in Sundays game, his first ap-
pearance in the home lot. His four
assists to first were on hard chances.
The wind was responsible for one Of his
two errors While he didn't get a hit
he got on twice, being hit by the
pitcher and drawing a base on balls He
scored on the latter when Doan hit for
two bases.
In the two opening games not single
base was stolen. Pink" Grindle turned
back four in Sundays game alone Sat
urday nobody took a chance on his
arm. LeBrand whipped out the only
Bishee man who tried to pilfer Sunday.
Thes day before nobody tried. 1t wasn't
necessary.
Mccarthy and Van, who made their
initial appearance in the openers, have
sure won homes with the local bugs.
H..

those three turned off several sensa-
tional double plays in both games.
Clarence Marshall, the elongated
twirler, late of the Three / league, had
q fine chance to test his running quail
ties about 4 o'clock Monday morning
and certainly made good use of them.
Justice Murphy, secretary of the ball
club, was to marry a Slavonian coupe,
according to their desire, at daylight
They lived out in the Sulphur Springs
valley about % miles from Bisbee. He
asked Marshall to take the drive with
him.
Now, the Slavonians are great de-
voices Of dynamite. firecrackers, rifles
and revolvers in celebrating a wedding.
This. however, 'Slivers'' didn't know.
Neither did judge Murphy put him wise.
When they came within sight Of their
destination, the Slavonians proceeded
TO turn loose a salute to the Judge. 1t
consisted of several volleys of rifle and
revolver shots, relieved by dynamite
Marshalrs eye buiged nearly out of
his head when the fusilade started. |
He vaulted over the side of the buggy
and started to run for the sage brush. |
Come on, Judge" he howled. It's !
indians. They're after us. Turn the |
horse around and beat it."
The Judge didn't, but Marshall kept |
on going. He failed to come back after |
the judge rollered that it was all right. /
After performing the ceremony, he
