There was 4 good game Of baseball
at Traction park yesterday afternoon,
The Albuquerque Grays and the Santa
Re Peerless club being the contestants,
The locals winning in the ninth inning
by q pair of errors on the part of the
visitors. The exhibition was pretty
much of a pitchers battle all the way,
Newmyer for Albuquerque and SAT
ford for Santa Fe both breaking prac-
tically even on the summary. News
myer struck out thirteen and allow
ed a half dozen hits and walked but
one man. Stafford famed thirteen,
was hit six times and passed five. The
slab artists were equal in almost every
point Of the game but control, New

men down and by fast work on the
part Of the pitchers and brilliant field
ing by the other players, the hopes OF
the aspirants were rudely dashed TO
the ground.
Things logged along in good shape
until the last half of the ninth. Al
various intervals Stafford was the tar
get for funny remarks from the grand
stand because he persisted in taking
all the time there was to deliver the
ball. resulting in h game being
dragged out for two hours and thlr-
ty-five minutes when it should have
easily been played in an our and
forty-fiye minutes. The fans also
had some fun with Charlie kunz,
whom they nicknamed Panhandle
Pete" because of his ability to pam
handle the ball. Out of three times
up Charlie succeeded in getting two
hits and accepted two difficult
chances in the field.

end of every half inning the wise ones
in the grandstand were looking Tor

sion had as yet failed to appear. SAN

first part of the ninth and it began to
look like at least a ten inning game.
But the Grays decided that it was up

with but one out when the winning
was made. The Santa Fe boys
protested vigorously against the de-
