 MAD WITH JOY
 TAKE A CAME
Third of Phoenix Silver City Series from the View point of Critic With an Eye for Aesthetic Fea- lures of Game
(BY SALLY JACOBS)


 With MT Homer King wildly way ing his arms in automobile row and Mr. Luther Green and MT. C. M. Spell man frantically gesticulating in the more democratic region of the grand stand, as first victims of the malady, the crowd at the ball game yesterday was seized with species of shrieking insanity. Many mad moments, but mad with joy for again the Phoenix team proved winner It is true that the deciding score was made by MT. Brown catching a foul ball but there must always be a reason for winning a game l should think. It looked like an awfully clever play running way out nearly to Central avenue and getting the ball singlehanded and alone. And after all that the fans said he didn't have his mind on the game! Isn't it beyond human understanding? l wanted to ask him about it afterward but he was nowhere to be seen and probably had an engagement of inn pOrtance down town for I doubt if he even waited to be told the final score. Perhaps a kind friend will tell him gently for he surely must regret that Silver City lost even if he has not been with the company the entire sea son.
 While MT. Brown made the most sen sational catch of the day, MT Pitt mans efforts along that same line ere ated much more favorable comment. His work was most pleasing and it's delightful to think that soon we all may be cheering for him. You could not help but admire his modesty even if he was an enemy for the time being. He always remained in the background. He stood over by the south fence and only came up to the bat at rare inter vals and then I'm sure he did so by request. once when he was way out there he caught ball and sent it to the catcher which proved him consid crate as well as modest for most of the players like to hit the roof off the grandstand and it makes such a un- pleasant sound, don't you know. | MT. Eddie McGeehan, the good look | ing visitor performed an act of real 1 herOism. The poor boy was struck on
  | blow that was heard all over Riverside | yet he stayed right with the game un- l til the very end. He plays the .pastime l delightfully."- doesn't he and never gets | fused at anything. People with ner | vous dispositions should not get in the game, but it is fun to see temper every ! now and then. Did you ever watch our MT. Pep" Cook? I just hated to see | him drop that ball in the sixth inning for l knew he would call himself all kinds of names. They say he controls the pitchers perfectly. MT Smiley pitched six parts not quite in his usual good form, however, and then MT. Her l bert Hall. the handsome youth gave the public the privilege of gazing upon his fresh young beauty and watching
 him keep down the score, which he did | in most acceptable manner.
 | Speaking of plays don't you like the consistent excellent playing of MT. l Duke Whit and MT. John Mutt far bet
 ter than the combination of spectacular
 and inferior that you sometimes find
 in other pastimes. They do not seem
 to go in for headline stuff but they
 always appear so safe, sure and sci
 entific. Our set is for them all the time.
