 IN NEW BLOOD
Castle to Be Manager, Bar clay, Franz and Probably Robinson, May Go On Team. Improvement e Il t s Going Into Park.

 Tucson is coming up to see how the Phoenix men play the game in the course of a week or so. The Tucson team will be the pick of the city league there, and it is claimed that there are some players in the bunch. Phoenix however, has no fear now. For with the team going good an excellent class of ball is being played, as good in fact as any in the small sections of the country
 It is estimated that Honest John Kelly will pitch against the Maroons tomorrow. The Maroon choice of pitchers is not known. If Smiley is in shape he may essay the game. If he fails there is still DelgadO to fall back on.
