Coyotes 1 Sugarkings 3

Coyotes Sugarkings In Twelve innings. Those who went to Glendale bent upon viewing baseball game were u eated right generously by the folk of that region to a near prizefight and a comedy in addition to the ex- hibition of the national pastime in- terpreted by high school teams. Twas the eighth, The score stood tied! An. the feverish excitement that prevailed when Westfall went to bat, two men on bases and two sturdy Coyotes biting the dust. Thrilling? We'll, you should worry. Bing. The ball zizzed by Strike One!
 Ba-looey! Another strike. Phoe- nix runners on second and third. Grasse watching them over his shoulder He wound up He un- coiled his marvellous length Straight as a stretched string sped the pellet. grooved right where WeStfall, the heavy hitter, wanted it. Glad was the boy. He would be a hero. He would hit at least for two bases. And the runs would come in and the game would be tied up. In the course of the time it took that bali to travel from the pitchers hand to where it would have broke" if it had been a curve. the batters young heart did all it's fluttering, and steadied. He braced himself and swung. An. friends, that was mighty swing.
 Zounds (Really it was worse. what he said) Pitts, the coming big league catcher of the Sugarkings cleverly inserted the edge of his mitt before the bat right where if would do the most damage, 'and Westfall "swang' wide by three feet.
 Then it happened Quick as his own temper the Coyote whirled and brought the end of his stick down on Pitts mask. Instantly all Glen Gale-no, not all Glendale, but all the husky teamsters and ranchers who had been enthusing so wildly over the semi defeat of the Coyotes, rushed Westfall Alone, but for his truSty stick the Phoenician faced a bowling mob of men. But he was soon reinforced by the Phoenix con- around Westy and prepared to be eXterminated by the slow process of individual combat with the hard muscled farmers. A few excited in structors from both high schools tried to gain ingress to the square, but failing that, started separating combatants. Coats came off. Tanned fists were balled threateningly. It certainly looked like a Donnybrook.
 But there was no fight
 The town constabule wormed his way into the mob and took young MT. Westfall. Glendale, seeing the move shrieked approval and the one lone Coyote was inserted in the cala- boose. Soon Pat Hurley and others arrived and demanded an instant trial. Young Westfall was haled be- fore the Cadi and lectured severely interrupted ever and anon by the whiskered constabule. His temper quite subdued, Westfall was loosed

 A Good Game
 Meantime the game was going into extra innings and the spectators, for getting the fracas, were going into mysteries Glendale was attacking viciously and Phoenix was defending as though life depended on every play. Pitcher Brown, who licked thu same team last Saturday, was hold ing the entire team together by sheer nerve. The reasonable end o the game was in the last of tho ninth when Elmer Forney walked Then came the tenth. Still nc scores. The eleventh and the ent was not yet But in the dozenth Then came the winning score.
 Anderson, the first man up, breez ed and was disgusted. Brisor singled sharply through second ant stole. Brown was at bat and h. swung nightly. the ball bounding back into the diamond from tn catcher Grass plucked it from tn earth and overthrew second. tryins to stop the runner. So BrisoI scored.
 Then it was up to Brownie onc' more, and nobly did he respond With the heavy end of the Sugar kings batting list coming up. h' caused Grassi to lay an easy one tt Ealdeman, who threw plenty fast t' Anderson Helm rolled an easy ont to pitcher and was dead at first, ant Varney broke his back three times il a row.
 It was an awful hoarse cheer tha went up for Glendale high from thu tbroats of the winners. and 1t wa! an equally husky-voiced reply tha returned it. The late unpleasantnes! had been forgotten for the time be ing in the course of the very ne cessary ceremony of cheering thu teams.
 It was a splendid game. Not ever the unfortunate incident of tn, eighth inning could mar the agrress i've hit-together attack of the local and the dogged defense of Phoenix Some magnificent displays of base ball sense were observed on botl sides, Phoenix carrying off the hon ors for sensational plays. But whil' the Coyotes played brilliant game
