s. R. V. LEAGUE
Club Standing

cross bats today upon the local dia- mond.
 This is the sort of spirit that ami mates the team, as all the men went home early. feeling confident. in view of an excellent workout in the after noon. that Tempe's name is going to be mud" when the smoke shall have cleared away.
 such was the spirit of the team This is the spirit of the management Dick. alias Eat" Yates. and Joe, otherwise known as Sunburn, Kehoe and a few equally enthusiastic sup porters. seeing the workouts of the past few evenings. and remembering the ginger" displayed in the Ma room game on Thursday, went to the park and cleaned out the grand stand until it is clean as a new pin, fol- lowed this by making the center sec tion sun-proof in the interests Of shade. and then made arrangcments for 150 more seats in the stand All of this was some work. but it will be returned in bright and shining silver by the fanatic fans who will pile into the grand stand and grounds this afternoon to see the locals annex the "abounding and abuttug'' goat of the Tempeites.
 There is still another proposition of interest. Glance over the batting order for today and notice the change Tognerio batted fifth before He bats third now. The chances of a man getting on before Glow comes up fourth are thus increased. and Clean Em-Up Glow will put the runs over if only the fellows get on bases. Then fgT in Nr Fan and note that Ritchie fol- lows. with Ferguson. another be2ut of a hitter, Whe going right after Ritchie, thus increasing the chances of run. The strong end of the batting order is distributed so that the cOaNcrs are followed by cleanup men at every interval. real tactical batting array is put up to Smiling Spikes to solve that will take considerable of his gray matter. So far, so good.
 There is another side of the story that looks good to the fans, and that is the hole made in the infieId of the Tempe aggregation when Spikes is taken away away from the short gar den. The star pitcher Weallens the team in an instance like that. Yet, withaI this fauIt-finding with the Time Triflers from Tempe. it must be admitted that the team is strong one worthy of a whole lot more sup port from Tempe itself than il gets. It is an aggregation of gentlemanIy ball players. Salt River valley boys, like the others. who play ball for the sport of it, and for the amusement and recreation it furnishes their friends Many of them lose money every time they put on a uniform. Many of them have to lay off when they play. but they are filled with Tempe, just as the Phoenix club is filled with Phoenix, and they come over to do their best at all times.
 Owing to the fact that there will be no game in Mesa, the Maroons and Mesa not playing. there will be large delegation from both the spritely settlements on the south side present at the local park to witness the game. Then Manager Nenne, one of the most enthusiastic Phoenix root CTS in the country, almost. when his team is not playing, will be on hand with the Maroons to help cheer Phoenix to victory
 oh, yes, oscar Irwin promises to occupy an automobile Monahan will be in the stand roofing for the um pires. whatever that is. Bucky O'Nein will be on hand to say smart things about everybordy, and everybody will laugh. It will be a great time.
