 And Mays had lots of speed. But Sal came up and smote the ball, Then advanced around the bases; While fear and wonder settled down On all the Flagstaff faces. -Scotty too lined out hit.
 And worked around to third
 We'll. well, " sang scrapper Cress, Just watch us nail this bird!' The air was chill, the wind was strong, The hour was growing late As Ruby grasped his faithful bat
 And strode up to the plate. Mays gave nervous glance at him. Then tightly gripped the ball For he had visions of the hit
 This bird" had made last fall The hit that drove all Ash Fork mad That then and there had taken The heart from out that sporty bunch. And brought home the bacon. Scotty still perched safe at third, And all Williams seemed to gloat- For well we knew that Ruby had That Flagstaff pitchers goati And did Mays nanny wander off

game without giving due credit for it's loss to MT. Mayes, the victim of the great game be- tween Williams and Ash Fork last fall. He was hired by Flag staff as the one tWirler who would put the Battery team to the front, who would proceed to humble the Williams boys, and every other team in north ern Arzona but what the home team did to him here, he will re- member for long time to come. Thirteen long hits with two baggers and three baggers in tersperced. put a crimp into Mayes, and sent him back to Fla gstaf, to do a lot of explain ing to the fans who are paying him a big salary for pitching CD baseball.
 Sellman fully won the honors in the batting line for the day, getting four hits in five times at bat, and also pitched nicely af- ter relieving Conway in the fourth inning.
 It is the consensus of opinion of the large number of base ball fans who witnessed the game, that no further games should be played with the Flagstaff team with Carlson in their lineup. There is nothing that will do more to kill the interest in base ball than such tactics as he re- sorted to, and the Williams pub lie, who are prepared to support the team, have a right to know that no such rowdy exhibitions will be permitted on the local diamond.

Duplicating his performance in the crucial game of last sea- son, Ruby Sullivan, the kid Gen. terfelder of the Williams team, proceeded to put last Sundays game with Flagstaff on the right side of the percentage column, by long single to cen ter field, scoring McDougal from second base with the win ming run. The stage was pro- perly set for Sullivan, and he proceeded once more to make good. When the last half of the ninth was reached, the Flagstaff Battery boys were one run in the lead, and were tenn porarily boasting of their super iority, for the supposed weak. end of the Williams batting list was up. But it is an old saying that "he who laughs last laughs best" and the proceeding in the last half inning verified that saying.
 Sal Montgomery opened the ninth with a screaching single over second base, McDougal promptly followed suit. With first and second bases occupied, Conway laid down bunt for a sacrifice. sending Montgomery to third and McDougal to sec ond; Dooner dropped another sacrifice in front of the plate, and was thrown out at first, but the effort had not been in vain, for Montgomery came tearing home with the run that tied the score, and set the stage for Sul- hvan's long single to center, which scored McDougal with the winning run.
 The game was exciting from start to finish. As is usual, Will Hams got off to a bad start. when Flagstaff scored in the first inning. Thereafter, the game was close. first one team in the lead and then the other. Many good fielding plays were made, including an unassisted double play by McDougal, and and a triple play participated in by Proctor, Sellman and Me Dougal.
 But "Swede" Carlson. the Battery first baseman, lost a host of previous friends in Will Hams when he acted the rowdy. and made an assault upon Um- pire Rivers over a close play at first base. It looked for a time. as ii there was going to be a rough house, as Carlson went \on the war path, and wanted to fight everybody in sight, but when marshal Bobby Burns ap- peared on the field and flashed a pair of handcuffs, the 'Swede" went pale around the gills, and all the fight was taken out of him.
