 Get Run For 5 5
(trom Tuesdays Oaily0

! So that no fans might be disap- pointed and froth at the mouth on learning that the Bloomer Girls had got lost in the wilds of Northern Arizona, the management of the Prescott Grays, which were to play the aforementioned lady ball tossers yesterday afternoon. got a team of boomers up and staged contest.
 That is, it was called a contest. The morning papers expert baseball editor happened to be busy marvel ing at the interior decorations in the Superior court room and didn't at tend the game, but he has been as sured by Mir. Rex Dickinson that it was a contest. A new and humorist- ical angle was added to the national pastime, it was said.
 - Unfortunately there was no one who dared keep tabs on the crimes, so there is no box score. A lengthy and detailed account of it is apt to appear in the annals of crime in the archives of the county, but that will be after a full and complete investi- gation of all the circumstances in the case. as the county attorney would say.
 The Grays, being the well practiced team, defeated the pick-ups, 9 to 4. The managers announced that any one not satisfied with the show could get their money back by presenting their tickets.
 Here are the Girls: Georgia Merritt, Caroline Stumbaugh, Maggie O'Brien. Salome Ellis Gone time dancer), Frances Condon, Cinnamon Panton, Rexine Dickinson. 'Chimmie' Carver, Chandelier Lawrence.
 A flat break in their contract with no excuse attached is charged to the Boomer girls, who had dates in Je- rome as well as here. Phoenix was notified the team could not get there owing to the railroad strike, but the other cities, so far as could be learned, were left to wonder where the James had got lost.
