MACKS TRYOUT GAME
 STOPPED BY SHOWER
New York and Philadelphia Do Not Finish Contest Which Manager
 Means as Honine for Players.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPAFCHJ
 PHILADELPHIA, Oct 2.-OnlY four and a half innings of the first game of the series with New York team, which Manager Mack Of Phila- delphia intended to be used as d basis for putting his players in first class trim for the worlds series con tests could be played this afternoon. While New York was at the bat in the fifth inning with the score nOth- ing to nothing, a hard shower caused Umpire Evans to call the game. A double header will be played tOmor- row.
 For the first time in week Man ager Mack had his full strength m the field when Bender and Schang were sent in to start the game it was taken as an indication they will be the men selected to do the bat tery work in the first engagement of the big series.
 The fans have been guessing as to whom Mack will pair off with Ben der Schang was slightly hurt in today's contest when a foul tip struck him on the right hand and bruised one of his fingers. He continued to catch until the side retired.
 Bender pitched only three innings and had excellent control and only two hits were made off him. Brown and Lapp became Philadelphia's bat tery in the fourth, two batsmen get ting first base pases and one on a tumble by Barry.
 At the bat Philadelphia did not size up in form, although they usually have trouble hitting Caldwell, who pitched for New York. In CaId- wells last appearance against Phila delphia in New York he shut them out allowing only two hits. Today the home team made two singles in four innings, Oldring and Baker each getting hit

COUNTY DEF|ES
 STATE TOSSERS
And Will Back Team With Total Assessed Valuation of Maricopa-Yes, Even Ten Dollars Will They Bet on Courthouse

We defy you. We do," says the Right Honorable Courthouse Gang, in answer to the challenge of the Right Reverend Statehouse Gang. And. just to show you how much We defy you, we'll sign this agreement to meet you and promise to make hash out of you. So there!"
 With these words. the C. H C. re piled to the challenge of the $. II. G., and with the signature of practically every man in the county business center the reply to the challenge was issued today.
 The very idea that the StatehOuse Gang should aspire 10 play baseball within the confines of the same lot as the nine Of the Maricopa county courthouse set the last mentioned seat of the law into q frightful tur- mOiI, and the response to the chal- lenge flung down by the capitalists was immediate and vehement-liIle- wise sassy.
 From His Honor Judge Phillips right down to the third acting vice deputy assistant janitor, the sentiment was the same-that the dignity of the courthouse had been splintered. But all these minions of the law were anxious to have revenge, to Wreak their Wrighteous wrath wrapaciOusly on the writers of the wrash wrOund wrobin hereinbefore wreferred to.
 The gage has been accepted. The die is cast, or whatever is the proper way to say it. Anyway, it is now strictly up to tn :. II. c. to make good on that challenge with a flock of baseball bats and the rest of the appurtenances Of an exhibition of the national sport
 The reply:
 TO the Statehouse Gang: We. whose names you see beneath. con descend to accept the challenge of the Statehouse Gang, and hereby make such intention known. The terms sub mitted are entirely agreeable to us, especially that about rehearsal or practice, which We do not consider necessary to our team in order to make mincemeat of the miniOns of the state.
