This is tragedy in three acts, that turned out not to he so much a trag- edy after all

 Cr-r-r-rack,
 Another small white pellet rapidly grew smaller and dropped out of sight below the same centerfield fence. Smiley cahned himself with difficulty, selected from the store in the umps' hip pocket. whirled his arm around his head and let go. This time Warren was up

 Also this ball travelled across wide arc and settled gently to rest where 8 hedge of greenery topped the center field fence. five feet from the point inc first two had alighted.
 Imagine a herd of frenzied young bronchos milling at top speed in a corral Imagine then, the Colts with their three runs to the good. It's easy. Just think what you would do, conced- ing you are a fan: and there you are The miniature ball park at Tempe was 9 scene of riOting ball players. And in the middle of the diamond. alone ex- cept for the umpire. stood Smiley When the assertion is made that Smi- lev, calmed himself the third time, turned in and added three more to the list of ten strike outs he already had. the glmmering comes that Smiley Jose SonOqui is a really great hurler. Add tO this the fact that the Maroons re- covered. and their twirler took every advantage of the lack of batting prac- tice that is handicapping the Colts. and you will understand that Smiley is a mighty good pitcher, for the final score was. Maroons s. Colts 3.
 Just those three lone four baggers. That's all The prancing steedlets stuck it out through ten innings con- testing hotlv for the mastery. When by the ninth, the Maroons had won their three scores and tied the game, it really looked Colt. and nothing but fpil IHe MtXiCdnS na0 tnelr 1lrSt bat If they Were to win it was to be a hit or two and then some superb pitch ing. for the Ponies were wild to lay that little sphere across the fence once more. In fact it was that eagerness tfat lost them the game They tried 10 kill every ball and only succeeded in knocking large chunks of the at mosphere out of the ball park But Patrick pap1o mn error. he stole second before there were two on Ritchie. who followed, and then scored ahead of that individual when he lifted one into about the same place that the three Colts had se- lected in Space No. 4 Scott was out at first Castle hit. DelgadO Mayor then came up and sizzled a white hot liner into the hands of second base who chose to huff it. Castle stopped to rOOst on second. Delgado Menor came to the plate and big Delgado was caught off second which reduced the Maroon chances somewhat, but Castle was on third. Delgado Menor walked up in the wake of his large papa and nailed the pill on the nose, scoring Catcher Frank and closing the tallying for the day.
 But the Colts would not admit they were beaten The great struggle came in this space. The Colts overcame their disadvantage at hitting and only splendid work on the part of Castle saved the day. He had one man out with a marvellous caught foul right on the grandstand, which is quite close to the home plate. He grabbed the ball high in the air. fell flat but rose in stantly with the ball in his hand. 1 never having touched it to old mother earth, though while he lay on the ground, the pill was seen to flop three feet and settle back in his mitt The Colts got three men on and there were two out. On q short hit to pitcher, Castle took a throw and tagged out his man in the most scientific manner This ended the game.
 Features were the three homers, the work of Smiley in striking out the first seven men up and seven thereafter, Castle. Andy Scott Godfrey in keeping the Maroons in the air so long.
