MESA TEAM ENJOYS

Morris Grabs Part of Team and All Uniforms and Beats 1t tc
 Tucson; Rest Play Maroons.

Mesa team passes through here en route to Tucson
 That is the startling information contained in a dispatch dated Tempe, Arizona last evening. Gee. this is exciting
 It says on the formal schedule of the Mesa and other teams of the Salt River Valley league that Brack- ett's men will play the Maroons on the Gem city field today at ap proximately 3:30. But the wire from the junction town seems to cast a large and blotfuI doubt on this as sertion. In fact. if taken literally it would mean that there won't be any game at Mesa
 But assurances come from else where that there will be a game at Bracket field. and that the Maroons will be mingled up in it some way On analysing these two conflicting reports. the Phoenix manager finds that the Mesa team is split up into two fragments. One with all the uniforms went to Tucson, guided by Catcher Morris The other under the management of Don Mcqueen will caparison itself in what gay but nondescript trappings it can ina around and about and fill the date with the Maroons. Manager Brack- ett is not here, or such doings would probably not happen.
 Fans in Phoenix, who are boosting for the Maroons are positively hop ing for d chance to poke their right forefingers at the returning Morris ties and say, Well. they trimmed you!" And if the score happens to be large on one end and mighty small or nothing on the other, they will take a mean delight in men the fact, too.
 But what is left of the factions will fight it out on the south side while the Bears and Senators are mixing it here. It is understood on the streets that Mcqueen and Brack- ett will combine in restraint of any more such schism when the big boy from the A B store returns from his honestly earned vacation.
