TEMPE TAXES ONE OF
 THREE GAMES FROM MIAMI
Soduthsiders Return After Having Gone Against Splendid Team
 in Mining Town

TEMPE, April 14.-Having had the
 of three games in d series with
 Miami, the Tempe town team yester-
 day returned from the mining town,
 sadder perhaps for their two defeats,
 but a blame sight wiser in baseball
 The Miami nine is recruited from former leaguers from all over the some speedy company for the ordin- ary team of small town amateurs As previously related the first game Of the series played on Friday afternoon of last week went to the mining town boys by a score of 6
 to 3. The cause of this defeat was 8 peculiar circumstance. A miner knocked out what should have been a one base hit. and the ball rolled under the center field fence, letting 1 in the population of three bases making four runs.
 On the second day the story of the game was decidedly in Tempe's ia vor. in fact it looked like a shut out and so it was up to the eighth inning, when the score stood nine to
 nothing. Error piled one on the l other though backed by hits all the way from singles to three baggers, 1 let in seven runs before the Miami nine took the field for the opening of 1 the ninth. And so the score ended , to in favor of Tempe.
 Miami had but one real pitcher, one who won the two games claimed by the mining town boys. He pitched the nine innings of the game on Friday afternoon. the ninth inn ing of the game the following day and the game on Sunday.
 Aside from the first inning the game Sunday was fully as interesting as any of the series Tempe took the field without man having seen first On the other hand Miami scored six runs in the initial ses- sion, due to several errors and hard hitting They scored two more runs the remainder of the game. Tempe scored it's only two runs on clean hits, one a two bagger. scoring the base runner and the other a homer oyer center field fence
 Miami is working toward a state winning team and it now appears they are likely to come as near to it as any nine that has so far en- tered the field. Several men, some having played in the big leagues, and the remainder in the minor leagues, have been imported within the past month The mining town has the n< cI1n nil Sbi nj until it runs up agaist the Tempe nine again it will likely claim such honors. At present the Miami club iI planning a tour of all the towns in the southern part of the state. through the Salt River valley and later into the southern part of New Mexico
 Relative to the pleasure side of the trip the Tempe players say they enjoyed themselves to the limit. The
 ride up via the Roosevelt dam was new to most of the occupants of
 the two cars and consequently eX- ceedngly interesting. on Saturday night an open air dance was gwen at Miami in honor of the Tempe boys, and again joy was unconfined- The return trip was possibly the least enjoyable part Of the visit. The two automobiles. one piloted by Wm. Wescot of the Mesa garage, and the other by s. 7. Earl. of the Tempe garage, left Miami at nine o'clock Sunday night The first car into Tempe yesterday morning reached here at 3:15 and the second at four. The visit to Miami was very en- iovable and at the same time bene- ficiaI. The mine team was the fast est comDanv ever encountered by the focal nine and with a little more of l it the club ought to be in T position to compete with the best of them.
