Boan beat out an infeld grounder for a
safe hit and stole second. He was not
contented in pilfering that bag but in
trying to steal third he was thrown out,
Merkeley to Arons. Four of the best bat
tiers on the team were following him at
bat. 1t would have been much better for
him to have died on second base, waiting
for hit, rather than to be thrown out
trying to steal third at that stage of the
game. Burn flew out to La Bissionarie.
ON clouted out a two Dagger that would
have scored Bona if he had stayed on
second. Hick struck out retiring the side.
This practically ended the locals prospec-
tive scores until the opening of the sixth
frame. Then by getting two passes,
single and a double three scores were
made. And when the locals came to bat
for the last time two more scores were
made off of couple of passes, a sacrifice
and couple of singles.

BASEBALL

The Hook-Em Cow baseball team from
South St. Paul took the locals in tow last
Saturday and won the game by 7 to 5
count.
Vasseau, who started to do the twirl-
ing for the visitors, only worked in that
position for the first four innings. Dur
ing his period upon the mound he had
held the locals with aid of the Umps,
scoreless. Four safe hits were made off
his deliveries but they did not come in a
punched form so no material damage was
done. When Kilroy took the helm in the
opening of the fifth frame, he was on easy
street for the game stood at that time four
to nothing in his favor. Meatime through
the unsatisfactory decisions of the Umps,
another one had been substituted. Kill
roy met with strong opposition for the
locals were determined to come from be-
hind and win the game and to this end
they made good showing for themselves
in the score column. Kilroy by allowing
four safe hits, passing three on balls and
hitting one batsman, with a couple of
erors sandwiched in between, five scores
were made off his deliveries.
VOL who did the mound work for the
locals was unusual wild at critical times
and the outield support he had was not
of the air tight variety. The mufing of
three flies in the outergardens, contributed
very strongly to his defeat The visitors
in the opening chapter got one counter.
Merkeley, the first man up, lifted high
fly to left field that should have been an
easy out, but the fielder was engaged in a
conversation with the officer who is sta
toned in that territory and did not see
the ball until it was too late to catch it.
Consequently the hit went for two bag
ger. Arons was hit with pitched ball.
Kelly struck out. Rollins clouted out
single that scored Merkeley. Vasseau
went out on grounder to Hick
and Kilroy flew out to Bud. In the third
frame three more scores were made when
two men were passed on balls and two
flies were muffed. Kelly led off by strik-
ing out and Rollins went out on a foul
fly to Hick that was indeed grand
stand" catch. Vasseau and Kilroy were
passed on. balls. La Bissionarie walloped
one out to left field and Bona let it drift
through his mitt and before he could re-
trieve the ball and return the same into
play Vasseau and Kilroy had scored and
La Bissionarie had come to anchor on
third. Wassel lifted high fly to right
and Bud promptly muffed the same, al
lowing La Bissionarie to score. .Schanda
struck out, retiring the side.
This ended the visitors scoring until the
opening of the last stanza. The visitors
got real busy in this frame and clouted
out enough hits to give them three we'll
earned runs. Rollins went out on a
grounder to Hick, but Vasseau got on the
runway when he was hit by pitched
ball. Kilroy got single and La Bas-
sionarie smashed out triple bringing
in two scores. Wassel landed on one that
sailed out between center and right field
that gave him triple and scored La
Bissionarie. Schanda struck out and
Merkeley went out on pop fly to VOL.
The locals passed up a good chance to
score in the opening frame all on ac-

MULE CREEK FARMERS
 FOR ROAD TO CLIFTON
(Silver City Enterprise)

T. C. Watkins, farmer from the Mule Cheek district of western Grant county was a visitor in Silver City Monday: MT. Watkins states that the growth of farming in the western part of the county has resulted in pro- duction of crops which more than fill the needs of Mogo1lon. The markets ct Silver City, Tyrone, Hurley and Santa Rita besides being remote do not offer nearly so good market as Clifton, Ariz, and as a result the peo- pie of the Mule Creek district are pull ing hard for road connecting them with Clifton. The people of Clifton have promised to look after the 21 miles in Arizona if the people at this end build the four miles to the state line. On this basis the road is very likely to be built soon. However un- fortunate it is that the trade of the people of the western part of the county cannot be handled here there is this conclusion: if a road is built from Clifton through to the M' Creek section it will form an addition al link in the trans-continental high way.

 Argument was presented by Arizo na delegates and was based on a res. olution drafted by the Phoenix cham Der of commerce. It was made known in figures that 500, 900 acres are under irrigation and cultivation in Arizona, whereas the total area of the state is 73, ,931 $40 acres.

PHOENIX, April 27.-It is a far cry from an inaccessible mining canfp to a city of automobiles, but the dis tance has been spanned by Clifton in a short seven years, according to state tax commissioners, who recent ly visited the capital of Greenlee coun ty on their tour of inspection.
 On a certain trip to Clifton, made seven years ago. the commiss:on found one lone automobile on the streets: To be exact; it was found standing on the sidewalk, for there were no streets worthy of the neme. Today there are scores of machines of all makes and descriptions.
 All this has come atout, say the commissioners, because of roads For the last seven years Clifton and ieen- lee county people have talked Gttsa else than roads-good roads and more roads, but more important than this, they have been busy construct ing them.
 Clifton is on the routing of the l most direct line between LordSburg
 N. M., and Phoenix. A fine road now leads out of Clifton to the New MeNl | co line on the east and to Stafford or 1 the west, connecting at that poin' 1 with the highway to Globe and Miam
 and with the completion of theSuperi or-Miami highway, giving short cu | to the state capital.
 Thus Clifton is placed on an impor 1 tant east anw. west highway. Not con 1 tent with this, it has determined to be l come a junction point with a norti I and south highway, which will con l meet Clifton with the Old Trails hlgh 1 way at Springerville.
 This highway is being, built jointl! | by the county of Greenlee and the ted 1 eral forest service at ascost of S4Oo, l OOO When completed it will afford 1 new route over the famous Whit
 mountains, through a fairyand O 1 forest and mountain stream, unrlval l led in scenic grandeur and for fishin'
