 It was fortunate that Frederick II. Newell and Arthur P Davis were not at Eastlake park yesterday after noon to see the employees of the reclamation service do things to each other. Engineer Louis c. Hill was there and he shed more tears than he would have shed if the Roosevelt dam had gone out.
 The Ink Singers. let it be under stood. are clerks. bookkeepers. stem ographers. engineers and accountants in the local reclamation service office while the Mud Hens are employed on the dredgc that is widening and deep ening the Arizona canal It was the Mud Hens who issued the first chal- lcnge but they wouldn't have done so had they had any idea the Ink Singers would wipe up the ground with them. Therein is where the Singers fooled them and they feel much aggrieved.

Fifty or more persons. most of them attaches Of the service not in trim or of the wrong sex to play baseball. were out to see the game The families of the players were also we'll repre- sented
 Here is the way the two hines lined up and started off:
 Ink Slingers-Peabody. third; Jen- kyns. short: Barnhard. catcher; God frey. second: Geraty. first: Golze. pitcher: Angel. left; Henshaw, right: Johnson. center
 Mud Hens-Hanna catcher. Cava- Here. pitcher: Parish. first: Williams. second; Morren. short: Walker. third: C. MorreIl. left; McEwcn. right: Ra- shaw. center.
 Neither team changed it's lineup materially during the long. hard. gru- cling contest except for a shift. ear ly in the game. between Golze and Jenkyns Of the Ink Singers. GoIze had brought two girls to the game and was naturally a little fatigued though he declared that a nine-in- ming practice game he pitched Friday afternoon was responsible for hrs lack of form. Anyway he decided in an carly inning that he had better take less strenuous position and fell back to short. while Jenkyns ad vanced to the slab.
 Golze hid under the grandstand as much as possible because whenever he appeared someone was certain to yell Pretty boy" He wanted to go into right field where he couldn't hear the sarcastic remarks from the grandstand but Hcnshaw was afraid that if he gave the crowd near view of his manly form and counten- ance he would be called something even more endearing than Pretty boy"
 Pat Hurley was umpire and while the players didn't kick on any of his decisions there were several persons in the crowd who roasted him to rich. dark brown. They weren't used to a game without danger to his umps. and if the players wouldn't pound him over the head they were determined that he should not get away without d realization of the de- spicable lowness of the umpire's po- sition. The players didn't kick be- cause it had been agreed beforehand that the umpire was to be killed i'm mediately after the game. In the ex- citement over foot race between J E. Sprague and Harry Hancock. Hur- Hey managed to slip away with his life. escaping by lucky chance the vengeance planned for him.
 Several players distinguished them selves by knocking flies. One or two fielders gained immortal fame by gobbling up fly or two once an Ink Singer popped up fly which the center fielder annexed without moving from his tracks. There was a storm of applause for the fielder | who did not drop the ball
 Well, I think the batter did pretty 1 well to knock a fly" said young lady stenographer who is said to be i strong" for that particular stick ar i list

 Harry Hancock and J. F.. Sprague were the racers. For some time Sprague had been twitting Hancock with being slow. He offered to bet he water distributor s1.75 that he 'ould beat him in hundred yard lash and give him fifty yards head start. Hancock got mad and said he would race Sprague even. He didn't want any handicap. |
