attempted theft of third was unsuc- cessful and the side went to pick flowers
 The outbreak of funny business hap pened when the. umps called Watson's try after the man on second, a balk. Wat made up for it. next time, how ever, when he stopped a hot one from the stick of M Darnen, the heaviest visitor, and threw the big boy out at first.
 Towers, as usual was the comedy of the game He didn't hit worth a whoop, but he made Miller get up his best blenders for the occasion. It was almost as funny to see Jay famed out as one of the opponents He put six or seven new pills into the lake, then when everyone looked to him slam it over the fence in the other direction, he sent a long high foul over third baseman's head, and left fielder ran mile and glOmmed it. Then Tong about that time Robinson, who has been hit
 ting fine tried to lose all the balls in the water thus stopping the game. but about the time the pitcher was get ting Jagged the irresponsible batter sent a would-be fence-breaker to cen terfieId. and was nipped right against the boards.
 Yesterday was Labor day. Nellis re membered it, and in the sixth took
 Easaw out at first and went in to work a bit himself The first one pitched, then, came into his waiting but unreayiy glove, and he made the prize error of the day in letting Oar nell get first Then to make lip for it,
 he took two long chances and though he dropped the ball once, whipped it
 to Towers in time to stop the man. It
 is remarked the young man is the only player on the field who could play mumble-te-peg with the ball and beat out a reasonably fast runner to first. Zones baby was responsible for an other star play. Pap was hiking to second to take Watson's throw, but it was delivered to the catcher. Williams made a fast peg, but it was high and wide of the sack. It looked like base on a passed ball, but Pap scared Into the air ana took it in one glove. But
 with all that, the kid only got one hit. The score was still three-two when ! kuOIOW went III LOT W lllictlllS III IIiS seventh. Hoff broke another bat, and the splinters followed the bah toward 1 third Nellis sorted them out and | killed the strong man at first After | the fatal seventh was over, it was nothing but a syncopated giggle. PhOe- nix had it like money in the bank. It | was just like a fixed game. In the eighth. they sent three more runs over i for registration. The Tucson pitcher | and later the third sacker made bad | grabs in that inning of joy, and Phoe- nix added two tallies. Fones hit fol- | lowed bv the sacrifice bunt of Towers 1 scored Bagley and the running was l over for the day.
 | When Tucson came up for the last 1 chance. Francis made the only two 1 bagger the visitors got. But Brown l did an unkind thing. When Zones got the pill too late to tag the runner out | he slipped it to the university" shrot- 1 stop behind everybody's back. Then l when Watson faced the next man with | all the motions of a wind up, Francis 1 cut a straight shirttail for third, but | he bumped into Brown, who waved the
 ball, before the sheepish face of the
 badly fooled Tucsoner. Warner flew
 out. and Phoenix starred the last of
 the ninth.
