Morenci fl Clifton 6.

rather inglorious defeat Sunday at Morenci by the score of Il to 6 The game was slated as al exhibition for practice purposes, and the Clifton team is still in an experimental stage lacking any kind of team work. On the other hand, Morenci, while their club does not seem 10 size up as well as it did last year, shows the benefit of team practice and thereby hangs the tale of Clifton's defeat.
 Big Stanley started off on the slab for Clifton, and though he complained previous to the game that he was not yet used to this altitude he pitched good ball and up to the fourth inning | it was nip and tuck. Stan. had to work hard to make up for the cratic support of his team mates and the strain coupled with the altitude must have been too much for him. In the ! fifth Volbrecht led off with a three bagger Brubaker hit to Duffy whose | throw to the plate was slow and high and Volbrecht scored. Then Dauber overthrew first about ten feet on an easy chance and Stan walked a man. With the bags full O Brien knocked a slow bounder to w. Mason too late to make play for the plate, but not a bag was covered and everybody safe. Dolly's hit scored two more and Kelley's triple counted another. A fast double play W. Mason to Dauber ended the agony.
 Clifford relieved Stanley but got his i bumps before he settle down. In the seventh the first three men singled and Cummings cleared the bases with a drive to center.
 Clifton's first run came in the fourth. i k. Mason beat out a scratch hit and advanced on Scanlan's out, scoring on Riley's drive past short. In the sixth the bases were full with one out but the necessary hit was not forth coming. The second run came in the eighth. E. Mason took second on Hayes; overthrow and scored on Scanlan's two base drive to left. In the ninth batting rally was started that threatened to wind up in d garrison finish.
 Duffy led off with a single, took second on a passed ball and cleverly stole third. Ghizoni walked and stole second. Cliiford's sacrifice fly scored Duffy. Williams singled to center and scored Ghizoni. w. Mason was safe on an error. Dick Crittendep 1 singled t6 left scoring Williams and Daubers hit to center brought W.. Mason across. Then Scanlan and Shoop famed and the game was over.
 It seemed to be an off day all round for Clifton. Even the reliable Bobby Scanlan. who has been foot ball enthusiast all winter got his games mixed and ''gave it corner kick that would have made Willy Neill pea green with envy. Dauber had one bad throw but made up for it with his otherwise steady work. Riley played his usual steady game at first. He retired in ia vor of Shoop who played the bag well but was off lu lis nlItluO Duug VI IlO NdS u NN' out on second played brilliant game but was a little slow in throwing, let ting three men get away from him. W. Mason covers a lot of territory at short.
 The outfeld did not get much chance to shine but what little chance there was showed decided weakness in the sun garden. Just who is best fitted to cover this position is hard tC tell as it is difficult proposition on the Morenci field. The work of Crit. tenden behind the bat was of the highest class and his throwing ac- curate, though he did not have much chance. All the relays to the plate were bad. Stanley's box work eX hibited that quality of head work that stamps him as q valu7 ble man His support was ragged. Clifford dio not seem to exert himself and it is . hard thing for q pitcher to take up 2 losing game.
 On the whole the fans are satisfied and all they want to see now is 2 little team work
