WHITE ESOXSHOW
 CLASS IN THEIR DEFEAT IF MESA

There have been closer games played and games that exhibited both faster and better ball playing than the Mesa nlte Sox game at Riverside park yes terday, but for snap, pepper and gen eral fan satisfaction, few had anything on that terrific struggle that ended nine to six in favor of the Phoenix White SoX. It was one of those games that give both sections of rooterS chance to shout. In the early part of the contest Mesa fans were all in evil dence. At the end of the fifth inning, however, Mesa was silent and Phoenix had it's turn. And, perhaps, it was right that the visitors should be given the first chance to "holler;" coureous, at least.
 Mayor Heilmann of Mesa pitched the first ball and, strange as it may appear, Acting Mayor Burnett of Phoenix ac- tually caught it. Then, the fun was on. Mesa dug in for fair, finding Dick Heflin for five hits with the first six men to bat, netting the outsiders a healthy first inning lead of two. Then Heflin frightened up, holding the vis- itors to five scattering hits until the eighth, when he became careless or hungry or had a date, for Mesa took a new lease on life and pounded out two timely hits for three runs. These were aided and abetted by an error and a base on balls, when Mays stepped in and famed two, if he did pass Bond, retiring the cotton pickers.
 Lush started in pitching major league ball for Mesa, going pretty much to pieces in the fifth when two passes, two wo-baggers, three singles and an error gave the White Sox six runs and a wide margin in the lead. After that, until Heflin renigged in the eighth, there was not bit of danger.
 Gilland's clever base running in the fourth, with Lyall on third, would do credit to Ty Cobb. By capering around the initial sack, Gilland succeeded in getting Lush to throw to Bond, leaving the bag when he could easily have touched it and saved an out. Instead, he coaxed Bond to throw to second was out but gave a clear field for Lyan to score. WesLfalrS peg from left to the plate, stopping Butler in the awful first, was one of the hair-raising specialties that was pulled off by the local lads. Score:
