 BATTLES TODAY
Phoenix High and Tempe Normal Clash at Tempe Today-Indians and Mesa Meet at the Government School.

This afternoon the Phoenix high school ball team journeys again to Tempe. this time to meet the normal team. The other valley league game for the day is between the Indians and Mesa high at the Indian school.
 The Normal team is showing up strong this year. The Normal has already played winning games with Tempe and Mesa high schools.
 On Washington's birthday the Phoe- nix team made a good showing against the classy Indian aggregation. but the game with Tempe high last Sat urday was not so satisfactory to the Phoencians. Last week Grable pitch ed nine innings against the Indians on Thursday and then pitched straight through the Tempe game on Sat urday This is about as much as would be expected of professional But the plucky Phoenix pitcher has today's game and the whole team has had an additional week of hard practice.
 The Phoenix boys are determined to make up for their past losses by winning today and the normal players are hoping to add another to their string of victories
 Some changes have been made in positions and the Phoenix lineup now stands as follows:

Talking of the padded mitt and its practitioners. some one remembered a story Of Tom O'Rourke when he was managing that black warrior, Joe Wolcott. Every now and then some green horn would happen along and beg to be tried out It afforded MT. O'Rourke and Mir WolcOtt great deal of innocent pleasure to try them Gut-plenty. On one occasion q large walnut coIored man came, hat in hand. to O'ROurke. "Ahm powerful desperit Mister O'Rourke," said he An strong. My. my, An m that strong Ahm ies' natchally afraid to leave mahself go. An want you to match me to fight wiv somebody"
 ORourke said that would be easily done if the caller was as good a fighter as he believed himself to be. Rut he'd have to be tried out first. The stranger said he was willing. and ORourke called Wolcott. Take this man out in the gym,' said he and try him out"
 The pair fiddied and fenced about for d while Then Wolcott got his chance. whanGed that right hand over and the stranger bounced three times before he came to rest.

YUAN SAYS HE
 WAS SHOCKED
President of New Chinese Republic is Greatly Wor- ried Because of Scenes of Rapine Enacted at Pc king.

PEKING. Mar. 1.-Desultory shoot ing by mutineers continued throughout the night and at three this morning occasional shots were heard Electric lights of the city were eXtinguishel and the streets were deserted. Man chu troops and police are guarding the city. Mutineers who remain in Pe- king are being detained at the bar racks. Yuan telegraphed officials at Pao Ting Flu, seventy miles southwest. to arrest all mutineers who went there by train from Picking.
 Yuan issued a note tonight address ed to foreign missionaries and mer- chants other than residents of the capital, saying:
 The disturbance at the capital was quite unexpected to me and has filled me with sorrow. one of my chief du- ties is to preserve order at the capital. and this has been hitherto uniformly successful. Unto you who are strang- CTS in a strange land I wish particu- larly to convey my sincere regret for the occurrence. Every measure of precaution has been taken now to pre- vent a recurrence of riOting."
 Tn the vicinity of the legations ev- everything has been quiet tonight but big fire started near the north gate and some distant shooting was heard. A body of 1900 mutinous troops com mandeered a train this morning and departed for Ho Nan. As the real cause of the riots is unknown opinions are divided in the foreign quarters as to the outlook. Some are most opti- mistic and consider n new situasion has been created in order to provide Yuan with an excuse for not proceed ing to Ranking at the request of the republicans. Consequently it is thought the disorder is not likely to spread.

New diamond fields of great wealth have been discovered in Bloemhof dis trict along the Vaal river. in south Africa. During the last few months several thousand people from all parts of the country have been attracted to the diggings. The original field dis covered is on the town lands of Bloem- hof formerly farm Klipfontein), small village on the Vaal, about 200 miles southwest of Johannesburg. on the line of the South African railway from Johannesburg 60 Fourteen Streams. This field was proclaimed an alluvial digging in 1907 and covers an area of three or four square miles. While it was being exploited by dig gers the new and richer fields at Mooi- fontein, 17 miles inland. from Bloem- hof. were discovered by prOspectors.
 The South African Mining Journal contains an interesting account of the discovery. This correspondence has been contributed to the consular re- ports by the American consul at Jo- hannesburg. Apart from few water worn pebbles and an occasional out cropping boulder" wrote the core spondent, there was nothing on the surface to indicate the presence of the big alluvial diamond field A blanket of earth hides the strata of gravel that spread over the fields. The lava for nation that predominates preceded glacial action, it is believed, as the original rough and hummocky surface of the lava flow has largely been oblit- erated. When the gravel is removed a rocky bed is discovered. This bed is of pockety description, forming a fine bottom for concentration" The correspondent continues: The dia- mond bearing gravels at first sight resemble a bed of dirty potatoes, be- ing brown in color and carrying d large proportion of oval and roundish pebbles from two to three inches in diameter"
 The diamonds are small, few eX- ceeding 20 karats in weight. On ac- count of the keen competition among the buffers, the Bloemhof diamonds have brought good prices. the aver age being about $22 to s33 a karat.
