these young heroes were affiliated.
The other trees are dogwood and
crepe myrtle, Towering from early
spring to late autumn, which will, in
addition to reminding the beholder of
our country's victory and the price
paid therefor will add much to the
beauty of our town.

cost of $11, 900 a residence with
spacious grounds, which was turned
over to the club women of Ameri-

 FLAGSTAFF BATTERY A"

on the theory that Tommy was right field hitter. But Hayes was as wise as the Flagstaff bunch for he knock ed a screaming hit over third base and we'll into left field. When the smoke cleared, Robinson and Price had scored and Hayes was resting comfortably on third. TWO OUT, FOUR RUNS AND A MAN ON THIRD. Knorr up, and as usual, Louie can hit, when hit is most nec- essary, so he unloosened a dandy double scoring Hayes: MacMillan went out on a grounder to second, and the inning was over. It was glor- ious session and put Howard up among the Flagstaff clouds. His passport to the, showers was signed, sealed and delivered.
 MT. May, the lad who made us hungry at Flagstaff was called to the rescue ,and he kept the Wildcats very tame for the three innings he faced them. May is a real pitcher.
 Smith got into bad hole in the eighth, for there were Flagstaff runs perched on first and third with one out. The runner on first naturally believed he could steal second stand ing up, but the strong arm of Price cut him off in his youth. A run was scored on the play, but the bases were cleared, and all danger passed.
 Flagstaff could make no impression on Smith in the ninth inning, and they went out, one, two, three.
 The scores of the last two games the Wildcats have played have dem- onstrated the value of one run. Our opponents are now we'll practiced in the game, and the season of big scores was over. To win, We must play bet ter ball than the others fellow, and not depend on our hitting ability alone. The swat-fest time is gone, and the era of errorless baseball must commence.
 After the game, the casket contain ing the last remains of Flagstaff s Hopes" was escorted about preceded by the Kingman Band, and followed by innumerable happy mourners. AL though all hope had failed, our "Wild- cat" still perched upon the coffin lest someone should perchance attempt to resusitate the lifeless remains. This was a funeral that was enjoyed by all.
 Battery "A" has a fast team made up of good fellows. With practically no supporting fans from their home town, they played as good a game of ball as any team that has visited Kingman this year. They took their defeat gracefully as did the King man team when they took the count at Flagstaff.
 That they seemed we'll satisfied with playing ball on the Kingman grounds was evidenced by the fact that they expressed the wish that they would like to play the deciding game here. The next game is sched- uled for August 15 at Flagstaff.
 Tomorrow We meet the Williams boys again on the local diamond.
