SPECTATORS A|D IN WINNING SOX
 AND CUBS CAME

It took twelve innings at Eastlake park, yesterday afternoon, four pitchers and a lot of interference on the part of unfair spectators to win the ball game between the Phoenix White Sox and Phoenix Cubs. Anderson proved an easy mark for the Cubs and was glad to go to the bench in the second. Heflin then went in and held the Cubs runless until the eighth when he went skyrocketing. The Cubs made nine runs of Dicks twirling but the Sox saved the game by hard hitting by the elongated score of 15 to 13.
 Kraft started strong for the Cubs, but with 4 runs scored against him in the fifth, and three more in the sixth, he was benched to make way for Webb, who heard an $. O. $. from Captain Geare and made a mighty effort, against an accumulation of eight runs, to win the tightly contested but loosely played game.
 In the tenth frame, Scott sent a long fly to right field; it landed among the spectators, one of whom, it is re- ported, rolled over and hid the ball, permitting Scott to reach third A scrimmage ensued that betokened trou- ble; the game was stopped temporarily and such scenes as might be expected on an open field followed. When peace was patched, the game continued to 12 innings, when the Sox brought in three runs and won the game.
