GAME FEATU RED
 BY DOUBLE PLAYS
Home Run by Teddy in the Ninth Fails to Save Day and Game Dies - Fans Gloomy Over the Double Loss

There Were large chunks of gloom present with the fans of Phoenix last evening when the MaroonS failed to skin the Grizzlies of Tempe in nine fast innings of the pastime at the local park In spite of the sterling support accorded Tweed by his teammates from the southside, the game was actually presented to the visitors by Butler and A Scott of the MaroOnS, who between them contributed six slices of errorSeed cake to the general gloom of the grand evening Smoke Smiley stroVe man fully to stem the tied of the afternoon but it set in too hard for even King Canute and it had to be. The Smoke struck out eight awful batters at that Spikes contributing three to the total. Ten hits were carved from the mound work of the local artist. as against nine that were achieved from the deliv- cry of Roseola Tweed.
 When an opposing team can garner three ripe juicy talIies from a single hit things are going along pretty aver age bad. especially when the other side has to earn it's runs. This was the cause of the general disturbance yes terday, aided possibly by some of those specimens of umpiring that cause the grand stand. which ordinarily does not see things as closely as does nisumps get up and yell robber.
 That was the setting for q part of the game yesterday. Errors, wells, spots of sensational playing vide five double plays for the session. and enough hits so the fans would not for get the. sound of the crack of the bat on. the ball The griefuI story sounds at in, full
 Tempe started in to do things if possible and put one across the pan in the person of friend Hudson, who got on with a T. l.: reached second on Scotts huff of Nuts grounder, took third on a passed ball, and scored when Ovi6do uncorlled a drive to right field, which ought to have resulted in a put out. In the second Tempe did again something the same sort of thing.

GOOD GAME WON
POOR ONE LOST
Local Ball Team Play Nee Heights
Great Game

Miller Z, Rec Heights 0. does not
fully describe the game at st. Law
renee, July 4th, which was enjoyed
by a large crowd.
The disaster for the west side ath-
ietes occurred in the first inning when
the local sluggers found Suhn for
five hits. resulting in as many men
crossing the home plate. But right
there is where the SUGGEST ended.
Suhh occupied the mound for Rec
Heights, with Gardner as a very good
team mate handing out the signals.
That's the boy. Garry" for the To-
Gals had everything, from a Rube
Waddell eccentricity to a Rube Mar
guard fade away. And Ernest Wal
ton made a wire net unnecessary
back of the plate.
After the first wild half it was
strictly tight ball, of a very clever
variety on both sides. full of individ-
ual star plays and excellent team
work. The man who stole a base on
either battery had something to be
proud of, and the batter who rsised
one in the air might as well have
started for the bench.
This was Miller's best game of two
seasons, an exhibition of sustained
effort without going to pieces mo-
mentarily, as so customary on all
amateur ball fields at some stage Of
nearly every game.
A game Of 1his kind in the national
field would mean no great difference
in the teams. because the next might
see a reversal of the score-and TO be
fair. the Press scribe saw this game
much the same. The two teams are
close enough for breaks of the game
to give either side victory.

Hail Storm I'm BeadIe

Huron Herald--The early rumors
Wednesday evening that a severe hail
stoam had visited several parts of the
county during the afternoon were in
a measure untrue. Hail is reported
to have fallen south of washington
which did considerable damage while
none is reported from Hitchcock.
The washington storm is reported
TO have hurt the crops in a strip
about ten miles long and half a mile
wide. North of Wolsev considerable
hail fell but it came without wind
and did very little damage.
