 Westerners taking the initial contest by
 the score of eight to two, while the second affair went to the valley club

 The victory of the farmer boys in the second contest broke the sensa-
 tional winning streak of the Senators
 who, during the past week. compiled a. total of five successive victories. which
 were responsible for the position of the Capital City club at the head of the association percentage column. Red Toner. the former Coast Leaguer. made his second appearance
 on the local diamond in the initial af- fair. letting the Las Cruces boys down with eight hits, while Black the elong- ated twirling acquisition of the Hurley tribe. was nicked for fifteen safeties, [ all of which were prominent in the run making, Five errors were contri- buted by the valley club to the victory Of their opponents, however, Wilde l making his everyday bungle besides many others.
