 The street railroad company in New England town that is somewhat cele- brsted for it's quietude leases the space on the back of its transfer slips for ad- vertising purposes.

 Clifton may be proud of the bunch that represented her on the diamond yesterday, but if so, she is easily sat isfied. Allen was honest in his de cision Of that there is not the slight est doubt The locals directors took the correct stand in the matter and showed by their actions that they are determined to have a say in the league regarding it's affairs. Before this, Fl Paso has been the goat for the rest of the teams and anything that was done had to be satisfactory to the locals. The others learned a lesson on the schedule question and they learned another yesterday The an nouncement by the local management that the rest of the games this sea son would be cancelled with Clifton would meet with the hearty approval of every local fan who has the wei fare of his home team at heart. There is no honor in playing a team like that which is utterly devoid o' the spirit that goes to make Q true | sportsman.

SUNDAY GAME WON BY b|SbEE
 SCORE 8 ID 2
And it Appears that Nothing but Luck Allowed Morcaci to Win the Game Last Saturday,
HOW THEY STAND.

The Bisbee- -Morenci ball games of Saturday and Sunday at Morenci broke even. Morenci winning Satur- day and Bisbee Sunday In Satur- days game Parks. the Morenci left fielder saved the game for that team by making a sensational catch on Baldwin.
 Both teams played good ball, but the umpiring is alleged to have been very unsatisfactory
 Morenci had Thurman as umpire. He had been released by Bisbee some time ago. His work is said to have been inefficient. and he favored Nor enci.
 The features of the game for Bis bee were a home run for Dalrymple a two base hit and a single, a three bagger for Gray and a two base hit with two on bases which tied the score in the eighth
 In Sundays game Cummings for Bisbee did the business, having the opposing team at his mercy through the game. The hits were fourteeen for Bisbee and twelve for Morenci. The Morenci pitcher was easy The Bisbee team was up in speed and class. Dalrymple again featured. get ting three hits. The first baseman for Morenci made the star catch of the bame.

 Fl Paso took yesterdays game from Clifton at Washington park by the of hcial score of to O. the umpire for letting the game to the locals in the last half of the third inning. with three of the locals on bases and one run over the pan.
 IL was one of the most disgraceful pieces of babyism on the part of a visiting manager that has ever been dispiayed on the local grounds. Me Tween, the captain Of the visitors. has shown himself one Of the dirtiest ball players seen on the grounds this year ny his work all during the present series. In the game Saturday he kicked on a rule of the umniro which the latter explained to him be- lore the game started, and had stated that he would enforce it on both sides, yet when the play came m and the umpire ruled accordingly to his ex. planation made before the game fhe Clifton captain kicked and refused to pay ball even after the umpire had oroered him on the field, and then nad let him stay on at the earnest SO hcltation of Wolfe, who did not want To disappoint the fans, and wanted to giFe them something for their money
 whether Wolfe had two balls and two strikes, or three and two as tbe umpire claimed he had, is not the question. The umpire is supposed to De the boss on the field and when he makes a decision. it goes. Allen had shown the day before by his work that he is easily the best umpire that mas omciated on the local ground this year. He might have made q mistake on Wolfe. but if he did. it wa not made intentionally, and whe once made, he could not change bs decision. What Mcnveen should hay, done was to have protested the gamf right there and then gone ahead and played 1t out That would have been

cANANEA WINS SUNDAY.

DOUGLAS. Aug. 15 CSpecia) :- Both Oscar Pitts and Fat" Wylie were very wild at the opening of yesterdays game, and time after time pitched themselves into holes so that they had to groove the ball. Wy lie got of luckily twice. but Pitts had one bad inning. when four hits and two errors lost the game for the De mons. The luck of Wylie was helped by bad strike decision by Toman which broke up a batting rally With the exception of that decision the old time short stop did good work with the indicator. but that one decision put different complexion to the game
 It was in the fourth inning that the Demons made a start. After Guynup had been retired at first via Brand. Bill Harper singled and Mattv advanc- ed him to third, going to second him. self on the throw. Captain Deak drove a long sacrifice fly to center and Bill came home. Carlson hit to Brand and the ball beat him to first.
 It was in the next inning that To- man broke up what looked like a batting rally. Pitts had whiffed and Eddie Ward laid down a pretty and unexpected bunt which ne beat out Tommy Smith famed and Kelly drove a magnificent bingle. which landed him on second and Ward on third Guynup fouled two. and there were two balls called when another was pitched which was both high and wide It did not look so to Jimmy Toman who called Guy out and the stand howied in disgust Douglas chance was gone through the one poor decis ion his umps made in the whole game

"Whe - where's Mr.. King?"
called out Hobbs.
She stopped above him and he
could see her face. Mr.. Hobbs
was chilled to the bone. Her arm
was raised, bony finger pointing
to the treetops above her howell.
"He's gone. Didn't you see
him? He went off among the
treetops. You won't see him
again." She waited a moment,
and then went on, in most ingrati-
ating tones: Would you care to
come nito my house? can
show you the road he took.
YOU"
But Mr.. Hobbs, his hair on end,
had dropped the rein of Kings
horse and was putting boot to his
own beast, whirling frantically in
to the path that led away from
the hated, damned spot! Down
the road he crashed, pursued by
witches whose persistence put to
shame the efforts of those famed
ladies of Tam O'Shanter in the
long ago; If he had looked over
his shoulder, he might have dis
covered that he was followed by
a riderless horse, nothing more.
But a riderless horse is a
