Arizona republican., 1914-09-28

There he is. boys. that's him Smiley. the long lean timber kid with the liquid brown orhs and th" strike out record of the new Arizona league of ball clubs, For that Sono- oui yesterday took upon himself ,he burden of personally disposing of e.ghteen Mesaites by the whiff route and now supersedes his second string man. Kid Krause, whose record against the same team-consisted of sixteen fans.
 Incidentally Smiley shut out the Jewels, closed the door on 'em. It Is true that twice it looked as though Griffen or I.indey would spoil an other clean score game for PhoeniX's capable twirle. But-but-well, just look at the score.
 To begin bS stating an incontro- Vertible fact: No game is ever ab solutely air tight.
 But for couple of innings-and later in spots-it was just that sort of ball. McGowan. pitching in fine form. considering his want of work outs. was holding his own with the Phoenix batters. Perhaps the cool and unenthusiastic nature of the af- ternoon had something to do with this Mack is just as slow as the weather, but the weather ce.tainly delayed the Solons limbering up. Three blank innings came, and then like the thud that they tell about the sickening one-Phoenix lit upon McGowan. Whang. Tog made two bases to right. Biff, Mutt caromed the ball off the left field fence for three sacks. Sh-sh. And an interval in which Ritchie forced Mutt off third, Big Griff got the ball in his ribs and Lindey accomplished his second strikeout. Then,
 Ba-looey! Ole Eddie Scott donated the use of a two-bagge- right out be- tween center and right. All this nat urally resulted in couple of SCOT ables for Phoenix, Tog and Wes mak- ing them.
 The fusillade did not stop there. Smi-lee smote @ teetering single be- tween Bernstein and Brown in -he very next inning, Whit lined one past Bond. Togneri bunted them around next door to a. tally. Mutt then contributed his third hit, a sim gle that walloped the dust in front of Campbell's speeding toes. Ritch!e famed, but Griffen showed that he was partly ball player still, when he too, singled to left, scoring Whit but perished trying to stretch it into a wo-bagger.
 There was little of baseball strate- gy in this. Nothing but good hart and earnest pounding of the ball. Al first the deliveries of both pitchers N ere smacked all over the front lot in high fouls and wide fouls and low fouls and long fouls. The unwonted ly gray atmosphere, mingling witt the post impressionist glare of th' centeTield fence did this. But soon both sides got used to this Sal Francisco visage that the day ha' put on. Phoenix's hits began {, sting through the infield and over il Mesa's batters started in even nor consistently to breeze and whiff an' fan and let the good ones go by Rev Ernest Williams was the onl. one who could see them. And wh blames him, if he couldn't see 'en right? He at least swung his bat which is what he was there for.
 oh, it was a shame krause ssa near the opening of the dugout an watched Smiley slap the ball int Pep Cooks mitt. As Umpire Bar Iett's right hand kept jerking upwar after each delivery, Krauses lip cor ners kept sagging down. For tha perfectly lovely record of siXtee strikeouts-accompls in the fal city of Mesa at the beginning of tn present season-was being eclipse by this new and splendorful mar that Smokey Joe was making 10 himself
 Seeing as most of the game con sisted in Mesa batters going up t the pan, taking three assorted an sinking back, wobbling their aston ished heads, this chronicle may q well be turned over to the dark com plexioned hurler. Here is what h did.
 First inning-fanned Brown an Bond. Second - famed Williams Hathaway and McGowan. Third famed Bernstein and William Fourth-fanned Oviedo, Campbell an Hathaway right in a row. Fifth famed McGowan, Brown and Bern stein-also in a TOW. Sixth-fanne Cviedo. Seventh--fanned not any body at all Eighth-fanned Bon, Ninth-let Williams hit and the fanned Oviedo, Campbell and Hatha
