SAD, SAD STORY OF A
 NEAR BASEBALL GAME
High School Gets a Bad Start and Keeps On Badly for Nine Sor-
 rowfuI Innings.


 park yesterday afternoon. Honest!
 Really and truly. The contending
 teams were from the Phoenix high and Indian schools. Judging from i the score. which was IS to l in favor
 of the Indians. the redskins had ] slightly the better of the argument | There isn't an excuse the high | school boys can make. They were | simply up against a team that had | them skinned forty ways from Cen | ter street. Not that the palefaces
 might not be in the same class with their copper colored rivals if some 1 body would take them in hand and i teach them the difference between | baseball and ping pong. The team | is good one m spots, but it is | evident that it either has not had | the, requisite amount of practice or doesn't take the proper interest in | the game, which amounts to the same
 thing. Perhaps the spirit of indif | ference toward athletics that seems
 to prevail at high school this term
 has invaded the ball team. The way the high school players were switched around during the game reminded the fans of the days of Curly Rindere Here is the way the two teams went to bat in the first:
 High School-Moore. short; Orme, pitcher: Hurley, catcher; McGlaslin,
 third; Brown, right; Smith, second; Irvine, center; Higley, left; Goebel, first.
 Indians-Resvoloso. catcher; Kill,
 first; Rulo. left; Jackson. third; Chapman. second; Enas, center; But
 Ter. short: Anton. right: Morales, pitcher.
 Charley Orne lasted only one inn ming in the box and was replaced by Brown. Goebel was transplanted To the field and Orme was set down on first Brown pitched four innings and was pushed back to the outer garden. Irvine being brought in to the slaughter The Indians tried out | three pitchers.
 Five Indians crossed the pan in the first. They found Orme much better than the high school students found their flies. Five more scores were made during the Brown regime
 and eight during the innings that [ Irvine was waiting the pill. Brown, the new pitcher. imported direct from the Junior Bible class of ! the Presbyterian church. made good | He might have won the game for the town kids if he had had the right kind of support. But support was conspicuous by its absence among the infielders and outfielders | of the Phoenix Union high school. i Brown didn't get any more support l than Parker got in Massachusetts or ! Taft got in Texas. Wild throws and muffed balls were the order of the day. Irvine did fairly we'll at the pitching station. but wouldn't have ! caused Hughe Jennings or Connie | Mack to have any wild spasms of | delight had they been present The Indians also had pitcher ! who made good. Morales is little
 pippin of a twirler and no mistake. Butler. their shortstop. is as fast as they make them In fact, all the Indians played a steady. consistent game
 Getting right down to brass Jacks. | it isn't possible that the high school team makes as many errors every day as it made yesterday. The boys must have had on off day. They got started wrong and never did get back into the right track. The next time they play they may put up a rattling good game.
 Charley Orme is the man who made the only score tailed for the losers High school rooters in the grand stand nearly died of apopleNy when he toddled across the pan. That was in the seventh or eighth. and the paleface players got lot of com fort out of it. Several said that they were going to do as much as Orme for alma mater but their ardor must have cooled before they went to bat
