HOW THEY STACK UP
Look at the line up? Don't it look different?

Don't it look different?
 Who's all the new ones?
 Hold your horses and youn find out.
 The change in the personnel of the lineup of the local team is the result of the work of the management to place in the field at Grant Park this after noon a ball playing machine that will into the field a team that will play be- hind the pitcher and about which no pitcher will say that he can't pitch ball with so and so behind him. It is the result of the efforts of the mana cement of the team to give Captain Ritchie team over which he is to be absolute boss, and lastly it is the result of the efforts of the management to meet the demands of the local fans for a baseball team for Phoenix, spelt with big box car letters and shouted out loud at that.
 Barton the new left fielder comes from the Pasadena team of the South ern California league where he has been playing all summer. He is on the ground, has been for three days and has shown all sorts of speed on the paths, and in the garden out at prac- tice Kelley the new right, Kelly is no kin to Honest John" except in sim ilarity of name. He also comes from Pasadena and is little whirIWind The other new fielder is Whit, the short stop who halls from the Visalia team of the San Joaquin valley league. Last but not least is Hall, the new pitcher who comes from Bakersfield, where he has been pitching great ball for the Oil men out there.
 The line up looks good. The work out of the men yesterday and the day before spells pep of the TOgneriO. and Cook variety from every man jack of the players. Ferguson who will be on second was out and put up a cracker jack practice. It is little known but Ferguson was formerly second baseman for the Penn State College team a few years ago when that team went through the big college teams of the east, like the first frost through a rose garden, winning twenty-five out of twenty seven games. That year the Penn State College showed some of the big league teams where to get off, and were the wonder of the baseball college world. Fergie was one of the fastest men on the team, a streaky hitter only in the way he kept the ball down when he drove it a perfect white streak over the green grass of the diamonds. He still has all those habits.
 Fans may look for a splendid game this afternoon at Grant Park when the locals line up against Tempe. Not only will the Phoenix men play ball. but the Tempe bunch will come back playing ball to cinch still tighter the lead they have on the race so far. Manager Baum yesterday intimated that he would pitch John Spikes, and Spikes always to be counted on an nounced that he was feeling good. If this is the case the Tempe men will have a good man in reserve in La Rocke. The Kansas man has not shown before a Phoenix crowd yet, and con siderable interest is expressed to see how well he can perform. He may be sent in the first part of the game to go at top speed as long as he can last, knowing that he will be relieved by Spikes. The Tempe lineup shows no changes from the ordinary. The south- siders have played so long together that they work like a fine machine. They understand one another and are con- tent to let that confidence go when it comes to playing the old ball game.
