to the Solons by scores Of 8 to 0 and 6

itOrs TO hit Herb Hail and Ed McCreery,

On Saturday, only two measly hits
were secured by the Mackmen off Hall,
who was in magnificent form and had
the visitors at his mercy throughout
the game. The two hits were Of the
scratch variety, both down the third
base line. and some. Of the the scorers
gave Hall the benefit Of a no hit, no
run game. However, the hits were
clean, though stingy, and the effort to
give Scanlon two errors and let the
pitcher have a hitless, -scoreless game
is unlikely to succeed
It was big Ed McCreery's turn to
dazzle the visitors on SUNDAY, and

''Beck's" Amen Corner
BY @BECK.s

QUALITY pitching is now being
X seen in the Rio Grande league.
There are several five and six-hit
games on the records this season
but we are now getting down to the
two-hit contests and Herb Hall, Of
the Solons, gets the credit for the
least hits in any game so far this
season. Herb pitched a three-hit
game for eight innings against Las
Cruces, here, on May p, but was hit
hard IN the ninth. He is evidently in
shape now for he went the full
route against the MacIzmen for only
two hits, Saturday. The Phoenix
scribes are trying to give him a mo
run no-hit" game by charging Scan
lon with two errors but this trick
is unlikely to get by in the official
records.
PHOENIX is bueking up. The two
defeats handed the Mackmen on
Saturday and Sunday tightens up
the league race again and means
that the Mackmen viii have to hit
some pace IN the series with Tucson
this week.

FLY
TOCANADA
WARNING

st. Paul. Aug. ia warning to
aviators of Minnesota to cease flying
over the international boundary line
into Canada recently was issued by
Governor Hammond and today it was
stated at the governors office that
further complaint regarding the mat
ter is not expected.
Several times since the opening OF
the European war ayiators cruising
along the border districts have cross
ed the line despite statements of
Canadian officials last fall that the
practice would not be tolerated
Governor Hammond's attention was
called TO the matter last week in a
letter from Secretary of State Lansing.
Anapassasldr' Sir Cecil Spring Rice in
formed Secretary Lansing that a
Canadian order in council was adopt
ed Sept. IL, 1914, setting aside pro-
hibited areas over which planes can
not fly. &t
In the future aviators entering these
areas will be in danger of gunfre by
Canadian soldiers, it was stated.
