Poole twirled both games for
the locals. and after having pitch
ed superb ball for seventeen in
nings, threw an easy one to Pa
vey, who is generally supposed to
be a weak batter. and Pavey
pasted the ball on the nose, send

Hirsh to score the winning run.
Johnson pitched the first game

by a score of 10 to 0.
Morton, the Alabama Bios
son." was on the local firing line,
and had everything his own way.
Not only did he have the steam
in bis arm but the crowd was also
with him, and the rooters yelled
vociferously when he famed the
first three men who faced him.
He allowed only two hits. and did
not even give them up until after
Columbus had the game slowed
away in a sack and a string tied
around it.
Thomas started in to pitch for
the visitors. and what the Local
clouters did for him was a plen-
ty. After having yielded a num-
Der Of bingles. including a homer
by Parker. he was yanked from
the box, and Hodge went in te
see what he could do. Hodge
pitched pretty good ball, but en-
tered the box too late to save the
Nets from defeat. In fact. it is
hardly likely that the game
would have been saved even hat
he gone in sooner, for according
to the rules of baseball, runs are
required to win a game. and, al
before stated, the score board
failed to show a single tally fol
the Nets.
Columbus won the opening
game with Meridian Monday af
ternoon by score of 5 to 2
Harris was on the local mound
and pitched brilliantly. having
had no less than fourteen strike
outs to his credit. He was es
pecially effective at critical mo
ments, having several times re
tired his opponents when th'
: bases were full by striking ou
batsmeD. The support accord
ed him was rather ragged, fou
errors having been charged u
against his teammates. Sout
was in the box for Meridian, an
pitched good ball. having yielde
only seven hits.
Lunsford starred in the baf
ting, his home run in the sixth
which brought in Graham an

for Columbus.

going up by leaps and bounds at the splendid showing that is being made at the fair grounds. Never before has there been so great competition among the classes of stock as is evil dence this year. There is another feature to the matter and that is. winners in the Arizona exhibits or live stock when taken east or west for show purposes also win, indicat- ing to the breeders of high class stock elsewhere that there is really a stock show in Phoenix.
 Last year one of the distinct fea- lures of the fair was the stock parade but this year, with the aug mented numbers and the enthusiasm of the breeders and owners this year. the event this afternoon will be the banner event of the fair.
 For the first time since the or ganization of the state fair, the stock parade is to be given that recogni- tion that the importance of the stock industry to Arizona would seem to indicate it deserved. This was de cided early this week at a meeting of the fair commission, and there fore in the afternoon, while the grandstand is crowded with visitors. the splendid animals will be led around the big race track in the or der of their respective classes and their blue ribbons.

BRYAN ON DUTY
 AND WILSON VOTES
In Well Informed Circles It is Admitted That Nego- tiatiOns Have Been Pro ceeding in Pursuance of Wilson's Plan
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH l


 WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-The Mex widespread comment in Washington today, but the days developments in official quarters added little of a definite or tangible nature concerning the exact status of afafirs. Reports from Mexico City that a new and somewhat summary move had been made by the United States toward the elimination of General Huerta brought no response from the state department or other official sources beyond brief statement from Secre- tary Bryan that no "ultimatum" had been presented.
 Whether some other communication less drastic than the ultimatum had been presented, Bryan positively de- clined to state. President Wilson left early to cast his vote in New Jersey, returning late this evening. In the meantime, Bryan remained at the state department, where there were no signs of unWonted activity.
 In well-informed quarters it was admitted that negotiations had been proceeding in pursuance of President Wilson's determination to secure the elimination of Huerta as a factor in Mexico. That this involved the de- livery to the Mexican authorities of another communication was also ad- mitted. though. it is said. this com munication did not partake of the nature of an ultimatum.
 Correspondence already published shows that President Wilson from the beginning has insisted that the United
 
 the legality of Huertas claim to the presidential office, and also that the so-calIed elections held on october 26 in Mexico fell short of meeting the Washington view of the requirements of the constitution. Consequently, 1t was said today, it is now a logical deduction that this last note or com munication was in the line of the de- velopment of the policy which Presi- dent Wilson has pursued consistently from the beginning; that, in sub stance. it amounted to rather a sharp reminder to General Huerta that the United States government now looked to him to meet it's expectations and give way to some regularly const- tuted authority calculated to bring peace to Mexico by commanding the hearty support of the factions now at war Tn communicating these views. however. it is said the officials here were desirous that their move ments be made with quietude. but emphasis, which would imply that all resources of diplomacy had been used.
 MORALES. Nov. 4-General Car ranza asked Tupper of the interna- tional peace forum. to telegraph Sec retary Bryan and learn if the report ed American ultimatum indicates the intention of the United States to in tervene with arms in Mexico. He also desired Tupper to express to
