BASEBALL!
(Continued from first page)

home? Can anyone imagine
 as experienced a player as is
 Mortensen, after hitting a long
 drive fifteen feet to the right
 of third base, calmly stand in
 the batters box and watch the
 ball roll on fair ground all the
 way to deep left and never
 make a move to gain first base :?
 Yet all of this, and even more, actually happened. There is
 but one explanation, and that | is that the importance of the
 contest and the vast crowd got
 on the players nerves.
 A prophet sat in the stand
 immediately behind the scorers
 booth who should not be with
 out honor, from whatever coun-
 try he may hail. As chief
 umpire Haynes announced the
 batteries, MT. Kelley was ob-
 served to take position as um-
 pire for the bases. Kelley
 is going to umpire.' shouted this
 prophetic soul. 1.-two bucks to
 one there will be a row." The
 oracle would have cashed in the very first half of the first
 inning. The first man up Curtis-thought the newly made Benedict over at short
 would be dreaming about sweet face in Ash Fork and hit a hot one down that way. Cooke came out of it, nabbed the ball and threw the runner out at first. ''His" Knibbs ad- vanced to the plate and smote Riggs second offering for two bases and worked his way to third. He tried to get gay and by quick throw Proctor caught him three feet off the base. Dunn did not even have to touch him, as Knibbs ran squarelv into the ball while it was in Dunn's hands. Did MT. Kelley call Knibbs "out"? No he did not, and you are entitled to one more guess. Kelley's j Judgement was so extremely that Flagstaff most ardent rooters had to laugh. | The row was on, but it proved a gentle zephyr to the storm that broke in the eighth. MT. Kelley did not change his de- clslon-not this time. After quiet was restored Browning came to the plate and put the | ball somewhere near Cureton's | potato patch, making the cir cult with MT. Kelley's gift ahead of him. Riggs then and retired the side. |
 The new batting order for then had chance to show itself, and it proved great success. Proctor. the first man up, lined out a beauty to left. Cooke followed with neat bunt, placing "Proc" on second and on which Cooke reached first. Hood then nit one through second scoring Proctor. With Cooke on third and Hood on second, a condit- on was presented for which fans had longed in Ia1n-two men on bases and Babe" Dunn at the bat! Nor 'ensen heaved sigh; Brown e" closed his eyes in silent prayer and signaled to trust in inc Lord and the University of rlzona. Far down into deep fight sailed the ball! Cooke nd Hood scored before War lock reached if. while Babe: lad turned second with all sail 'et tor third. Unmindful of he fact that Dunn is a very leaVy man and that every game n the series has been won and ost by a single run. he WIS 'ent home. It is ninety feet rom third base to home plate. md Browning stood waiting for )unn with the ball in his hand before Babe" had covered fifty feet of the distance. T.
 Flagstaff scored one in the hlrd and four in the fifth. mak- ng their total seven when Will Jams came to the bat for the ast half of the eighth, the score ,e1ng seven to six in favor of Tag. Williams was hittino dortensen hard, Simpkins hav. ng lined out a long home run r. n the sixth, and he appeared Q be weakening. Little Allen !rst up in the eighth, unoues- Ionably beat out a hit. b,,t Mr.
