By scores of 21-6. 17-21 and 21-13 Judson and Blair. two famous stars in the Phoenix volley ball world, two players who are styled by the galleries as Mutt" and Silk Hat Harry, came q "cropper" last evening before even reaching the home stretch hurdles. The winners of the series, Laveen and O'Neil have always claimed the cham pionship of the "Y' in volley ball doub- les. but had been previously defeated two sets in succession owing to one of them having a lame arm but said arm evening and Messrs. Mutt and "Silk Hat Harry" were taken into camp to the above mentioned tune.
 After the game the usual and well established custom of the losers inVit- ing the winners out for light lunch was abandoned much to the chagrin of the winners, who, it seems had been extraordinarily hospitable when they lost through the aforesaid sore arm of one of their team, and it is rumored that one member of the Judson- Blair combination left the "Y'' by the back door.
 Roger q. Laveen and w. D. O'Neil now desires, through the Arizona Re publican, to challenge any team of doubles available for a series of games but do not feel compelled to play Jud- son and Blair again until they acquire q reputation by defeating such teams
