Sensational Ninth-Innin g Rally Comes Near Send ing Game into Extra In ming g-Rain and Automo- piles Interfere

Mid autumn showers and a clut- ter of automobiles, the Tempe Griz- zlies batted out , to victory over the locals, who failed to touch Oviedo except in two innings, and then bat for five hits all told. Cap tain Wes Ritchie put his foot ln the trough for the first time today, and was forced to retire to second base in favor of Big" Hall in the fourth. Then again. when Halls OVerWOrked wing gave way in the eighth, the Silent Boss again shOuldered the bur den, holding the visitors runless for the last two innings.
 Phoenix would have been scoreless in the first stretches but for Clow's beautiful line drive over the left field fence, scoring Whit ahead of him-both being extremely cautious about laying foot to the entire num- Der of bases. In the ninth, PhOenlN hauled off and slammed OViedO for three hits. each one being neatly turned into a run. The belated rally wheezed it's last when Warren famed and Cook perished through the mach nations of Oviedo and Griffen, leaN- ing two men on bases.
 It was slow game until the last of the ninth. Then the record crowd that filled the stands, packed the side lines. and overflowed in automobiles into the playing field stood on its feet in a frenzy while the locals did their best to squeeze in few more tallies and use their batting streak to win a delayed victory. During the first few innings, Phoenix played so slowly in the field that many chang ed allegiance, and started rootlng TOT the visitors who played in marvellous luck-aS they always do. In tact Tempe played with a whole barrel of horsehoes yesterday, for in the first place. OviedO made the local batterS hit where the fielderS could get the ball and second the said f1elders stayed put and worked with precl- sion and dispatch. Friend Jack Spikes, for instances had eight chances, every ball within three steps, and the one he errored was just as easy as the rest of them. A fan once re- marked that there is no more grace full physical action in the world than Jack Spikes handling liner at short stop. and he was pretty nearly right.
