Hitting was free as the salt ocean, especially during the three innings before Cack Henley was taken out of the box, and when the smoke rolled away the victory was clinched. It was day of long distance batters. Four three
 base hits and one twO-bagger helped pile up the score, while four serious errors on each side made the fans groan. In the seventh and eighth the Seals made vain efforts to start SCOT ing again with clean hits, but they were unable to pass second base.

Skilful Eighth Inning Rally Puts South Side Game on Ice for Phoenix Team - Smiley's Hurling a Fea- ture of Contest

To lick a baseball team to a frazzle and then to make a miSbobbIe and have that ball team rise in it's mighty wrath and smite the flicker" just afore- said, was the discOuraging experience of the Mesa nine in close competition with the Phoenix MaroOns over on the south side yesterday a little after the warm but gentle sun has tipped over on the afternoon side. An easy jog with the score to and no climbers in sight was the pace Mesa set for eight innings yesterday. Then just as the fans of the Gem City began to remark with careless tones in their voices, You may pay me that five NOW if you don't mind, a brace of Mesa play CTS did the most foOtless thing in base ball, let the pill slip through their gnarled fingers and saw the sacks slowly but surely become inflated with runners.

PORTLAND, July 10.-Left Fielder Elmer Loeber starred in the game with Venice today, which resulted in an S-to-0 victory for Portland and placed the Beavers at second place in the league standing. Not only did Loeber knock Portland's first tally, but also starred in the batfest in the eighth with his third consecutive safe hit, and also made a circus catch of difficult fly in deep left. Up to the eighth inning Portland had 1-to-0 lead Loeber's initial hit that inning was followed by another by Berry Hagerman was safe on Litschfs CT TOT. and a tWo-bagger by Rogers scored three after ChadbOurne and Doane had each driven in run.

 Nothing Doing Yet
 Hudson found one and Godfrey caught it. Kelly hit Mutt on the ankle and Griffen ran for him. Tweed went out on a fielders choice while Griff went to third when Mullin got hit, but Griffin who changed places on third with Oviedo, flied out to Warren. No runs.
