Judge J. Nj. O'Connell, who is at Tucson attending the sessions of he district court there. and who is well known over the territory as an enthu- siastic baseball fan, was tack ed by Tucson sport writers for an interview The judge walked up to the plate and batted 300 per cent average, getting in a boost for the Bisbee city league and baseball in general
 T am glad to hear that Tucson is so enthusiastic over baseball. and has such an excellent city league" said Judge O'Connell Of Bisbee yesterday. We. have a city leaguc in Bisbec that is going well. but has not yet aroused the enthusiasm that yours appears to have. ! expect this to come in time, however, and to see the game come into it's own before fall" Judge O'Con- nell is quoted in the Sta-

has been discovered. He is Dan ONeill,

who has shown that he has realizing

his team in action. A game between

umpire calling the game at the end Of
the eighth on account of darkness.
1t was a real. sure-enough base ball
game. one OF the kind that makes the
sport so popular. Ritter. who was on the
rubber for the Medical Students. was in
great form and should easily have won
his game. He allowed but seven scat
tered hits, issued free transportation to
only one man and sent eleven back to
the bench by the strikeout route. He
also tied the score In the sixth inning
with lucky single when all of the bags
were occupied.
1t was due more to the good playing
and batting of Beasely. the little left
fielder of the Naval School. that his
team held on to the lead that the Cadets
obtained early in the game. Out OF
three trips to the pan he cracked out
three doubles. none of them lucky hits.
