In the final tussel to retain a place in the percentage column and still have a look in at The Republican cup. the |. $. Indian school went down to de- feat yesterday before the Phoenix high school to the score Of to 4 The Redskins have now joined Tempe high and are the only two teams out of the run.
 Although defeated, the Indians yes terday showed up better in the field than any nine in the Valley league. There is not a single outfield of any of the teams that compares with them. One fielder in center caught a fly aft CT running backward for twenty feet. and Patrick at second leaped into the air and grabbed one that should have been safe for a single at least
 The Indians made two more errors than the Coyotes. but the real reason of their defeat was their inability to straighten out Halm's curves. They got just five hits while the Coyotes got double that number. If the In dians were better batters they would be one of the most formidable teams in the league Their field work was sharp. decisive and accurate, while the Coyotes at. times were a bit iilatory in sending the ball where it belonged.
 The game was played at the Indian school grounds before a good sized crowd made up largely of rooters from the school The high school had a large following also. For the first five innings the game was always in doubt. the score then being to 1 in favor of the Coyotes.

 In the third Hahn sent a hot one to Harris at short Harris went up like a balloon and picked it out of the at mosphere. It was the prettiest catch of the entire game. The Redskins evened up the score in this inning. Smith struck out. Then Butler. who isn't over 15, came to bat. It was his first game. He rapped the first ball that came along. It went to third. and Butler could not beat it out. Russell was hit by the ball He stole second and when Harris picked up the hickory he was loafing at third Harris sent a little balloon down by Jones. It was rather a hard catch and Jones dropped it. Russell crossed the home plate. Lewis famed
