To break the monotony existing in baseball for the past several weeks Phoenix High and Mesa High clashed yesterday afternoon, Phoenix winning by a score of to 5. T. was a fast game all the way through.
 Darley made home run for the Mesa bunch in the first inning. The play warmed up from that run and It looked like Mesa was going to get the best of it, until the fifth inning when Phoenix came through with four runs. This took the crimp out of Mesa, but they added another run to their sco4e in the sixth inning. Phoenix came back with two runs in this inning, adding another in the seventh. Mesa got one in the eighth and scored tWo more i'll the ninth, Mesa s pitcher keeping Phoe- nix from getting any runs in this in ming. The result was seven to five in favor of Phoenix.

Where diplomacy fails, drastic meth ods will have to be adopted. There isn't man in the world that is a good enough ball player to warrant his be- ing retained if he insists on trying to make trouble between the other men and the management. The only thing to do is to get rid of the disturbers if they can not be made to see the light. In some cases 1t might involve the loss Of considerable sum of money if the player hand an ironclad contract. But. regardless of the salary that might have to be paid to an idle athlete or the large amount that might be repre- sented by the difference between what big league contract calls for and what the player could get in the minors it will pay in the end 10 chase hlm.
Arizona republican., 1917-03-18


 The athlete that keeps his grouch to himself but let's it interfere with his work is only a little less undesirable. The difference is that in the latter case only one man is cheating the club. Now that the lang term fancy contract is 1 rot so popular with the magnates. the chances are that few young ball tossers will try loafing or trouble making tac- tics, for they will realize that their next seasons salary depend largely on what tehy do this year.
 There are some veterans serving the last season on "Honclads." however. that know they will either be slashed III salary or sent to the minors next year and have nothing but their own seif-respect and the esteem of the fans to lose. As neither of these assets will be readily convertible into cash after this year, few of the misguided old timers may try to make themselves ob- Jectionable to the management. Some Of them already have done so in the form of trying to persuade other pIay- CTS not to sign contracts. In some cases the advice to sit tight" doubtless was actuated by sincere desire to see the other fellow get along. In others if was inspired by desire to cause friction between masnates and athletes, with a view to embarrassing the former in a spirit of revenge for fancied wrongs
