Especial to the Republican,.

TEMPE, Arizona, August 17.-An l last week Manager Bracket of Mesa | has been grooming one Whittenberg, l spelt with big w until the end of the game, for the contest with the | Grizzlies this afternoon, little thinking that Manager Baum could also be grooming one the Hon. Dark Horse. When the Hillbillies arrived at the playing quadrangle however they found one LaRocl1e. who was hoorahed at Phoenix terribly on Thursday, and called the Beef Trust standing on the pitching mound with a welcoming so- phomoric supercilious smile on his brunette countenance. old Solid Rock smiled a welcome worth nine strike outs to the side he worked for. and put wreaths of crepe on the Mesa Phenom. who for all that heaved a good game.
 Hitting featured the game all the way through for all that. John Mutt Of Tempe being the particular star. John doesn't often open up the artillery fire 1 but he did yesterday for a number of l the heavy shot variety. Three hits out of four times up is his average. Big l Griffin hit into bad luck narly every 1 time up yesterday. Quckenstead pull | ed down a line drive back of second
 that nearly killed him, while Jones in right field did the same upon his bare hand to a terrific shot that would have | been going yet but for the peda gogues 1 bare fist.
 | One of the features of the game was ] safety measure by the pitchers scored, | somthing that does not happen very | often.
 How 1t Happened. l Williams, Mesas' third sacker, first
 up in the first walked, and went to sec ond when LaRocke uncorked a wild pitch, scoring on Quickensteads infield ! out Griffin made a valiant attempt
 to stop this score but as the bunt was | laid down to him and Quick came l laundering down to first Williams 1 crossed the pan. In the fifth Mesa ] joined in the run getting again. Core 1 opened up matters with a triple to
 right field, held on while the next two l breezed, and scored when Campbell l bingled safely. In the sixth sensation,
 Mesa completed her run making squirt. l Williams went out to right fielder, but i Morris cannoned to left for a single
 and went to third when Quickenstead | safetied to right for one sack. Quick , quickly stole second leaving that bag i open for Jones who smacked one hotly l 10 Hudson. While Hudson was hold | ing the ball Morris scored and the | others were safe. Core then sacrificed 1 scoring Quickenstead. The next out | was easy.
 The Tale of Tempe. ! Tempe started duplicating the per
 formances of Mesa right off the reel. Spikes walked, and went to second l when Whittenberg uncorked a wild one.
 scoring on Nuts hot single to right. The outs were easy. In the second the Grizzlies came back. Tweed pulled the Texas leaguer racket, and started run
 ming like a madman when Griffin ping led to right field. Campbell fielded the ball cleanly, but having an arm threw
 to catch Tweed rounding third and
 threw over Mullins head a mile. Tweed coming on in. The outs were nothing much
 Ic the fifth three ru2s came bound ing in thusly. Spikes again walked,
 and Hudson was safe on an attempted fielders choice, as was also Spikes. Then John Mutt came up, spit on his
 hands. grabbed the old war club in
 his portsded batting position and
 cleanly placed the ball over the fence.
 Everybody came home.
 Tn the sixth, Griffin hit to Campbell
 who was short Of fly paper so it didn't 1 stick Kid Harris laid down a bunt, and big Grff stretched it to third. Stretching it is perfectly correct when speaking of Griff. Harris pilfered sec ond LaRocbe then whiffed as did one I Mullin, but Spikes doubled. Spikesy | however was not content and tried to go to third and was tagged out
 In the seventh Mutt doubled and Oviedo coming up scored him with a 1 clean three bagger. Tweed sacrified | with a fly and Oviedo crossed the pan.
 The next outs were easy. This ended the scoring much to the satisfaction
 of verybody except Oscar Irwin who
 wanted Hudson to have one more bat so that he toe could put the ball over the fence
