TWO BASEBALL
 GAMES TODAY
In Case the Two Phoenix Teams Cannot Play in Tempe They Will Mix Here-Tempe-Mesa Game Will Be a Hummer

If Tempe stages a dOuble-header baseball game today it will be because few of the faithful got their coats off and pulled half of the entertain ment out of the rut of uncertainty. Last night Frank Baum phoned to the Phoenix managers, and, after asking them why they had neglected to ar range the excursion, offered them twenty bucks apiece to play the last game of the afternoon at the south side arena. At first the locals were leary to beat four of one sort, but by little persuasion they promised to be good. The original arrangement was for a forty-siXty split between the two winners and the two losers. This was made, however. under the agree ment that Phoenix should have an excursion of at least 125 people, The excursion was neglected, and as a result the whole scheme broke up in a row.
 On the phone late last evening Baum promised to pay the Maroons and Colts each the said twenty if they will come over and put up a scrap. Frank Castle. interpreter for the Maroons, was hep, but Yates of the Ponies was nowhere to be>found. Il aggregation on the train at noon this beautiful summer day and all will be lovely, Irene.
 Mesa and Tempe play the first match of nine straight innings of pure baseball. As 'F'riscoite remark ed at one of their recent arguments. If Del Howard would only get him some players like Tempe and Mesa have got in their infields. We would be out of the basement right now. Tempe and Mesa played eleven in nings to a 10 to II victory for the former week ago. Asked if they can put up another stiff fight. reply is most respectfully submitted, they can, that.
 In case Castle is not able to swing Yates gang, the Colts and MarOons will play on the Churchill field one grand practice game this afternoon
