The Arizona copper camp., 1919-08-23

Sunday with a tremendous overplu of
slngging pep. and pasted the pill
around the bali lot in manner that
was simply .scandalous When the
dust had finally cleared away, the
score stood IA to q in favor Of the
Gila county aggregation.
In addition to the hard hitting Of
the Hayden team, the outstanding fea-
tire of the game was Mitchells home
run in the first half of the second.
Unfortunately. there was no one on
bases, so Harry's little ramble around
the lot only gave Ray one lone tally.
If Harry repeats that performance
very often, the rules will have to be
amended to make him call out fore
before driving off. and the old ball
lot will have. to be rechristened the
Ray Golf links.

jumhle Of it than Monty did, and the
people of Ray should see to it that a
player is given consideration.
Not only was the crude work of
some of the spectators directed
against the Ray players, but it ex-
tended to some of the Hayden play
efs and in one instance, for time, it
looked as though one of the players
intended coming through the wire
screen after q certain Rayite. In that
particular instance the remarks were
entirely personal about the player and
were taken up by his wife who hap
DeRed to be in the grandstand. Per-
sOnal matters should not enter into
a ball game and if the game is to be
made a go of in Ray the fans ought
to act like gentlemen, all the time,
and not let something like an error or
o chance remark lead on and on, un.
til there is a. rough and tumble go
ing on.
Remarks such as were passed Sun
day only advertised the lack of good
breeding on the part of some of per-
sons in attendance. Certainly the
great majority of the people of Ray
do not contenance such discussions
as took place, and it is to be hoped
that future contests will not be
marred with personal remarks. 1t
should be remembered, too, that the
spectators are not always to blame.
The players occasionally are apt to
forget themselves, and indulge in ex-
pletives that should not be heard.
Mitchell's Home Run.
In the second half of the first, Dor
sey came tol bat and flew out with a
single to short; Beaumiller followed
and singled to third, and was put
out when Ortega singled to Davis,
thus leaving the bases clean with the
score to 0, ludlow and Guest hav-
ing made home in the first half
In the first of the second, things
were running along pretty well when
Mitchell walked up and grabbed
piece of hickory and put the pill clear
over the left field fence. Nobody
was on bases, so Harry trotted around
and that was the end of the game so
far as Ray was concerned until the
last half of the sixth, when Ortega
came up and tripled to 3rd Mitchell
came up and took another fall out by
singing to LIST, where Hudlow fun
bled and Mitchell was called safe by
Anderson. This advanced OrtegO to
second and Tony came up and put a
fly to center, making second and
bringing Ortega home. Davenport
struck out and when Dorsey singled
to right, Mitchell came home, thus ac-
counting for two scores. When Wy
cob singled to short on wild throw,
he passed to second and Greenwood
came up and brought Pete home and
landed himself on 3rd. Pinchon then
came up and batted for Montgomery,
hitting fly TO the pitcher and be-
ing put out at first, thus retiring the
side, with three runs that inning, max
ing the total for the game of 4.
Hayden started things in the first,
when ludlow hit safe to second, fol.
lowed by Guest, who damned the
sphere for three sacks.
