sKELLEYIZED" ON
 OUR OWN GROUNDS

est delegations that ever cheer ed a favorite, journeyed to Will Hams last Sunday to play the home team. So great was the crowd assembled to witness the contest that, in addition to the grand stand-which com sfortably seats about three hun dred people-every seat in the bleachers on both sides of the stand was occupied, while auto mobiles loaded to their capacity reached from home base down each side of the diamond and far beyond the foul flags, there by compelling the adoption of special ground rules for the playing of the game. It was by far the largest crowd ever assembled on the Williams field and in all probability the larg- est ever assembled upon a like occasion in Northern Arizona except during a Fourth of July celebration.
 Prior to the game there was somewhere tucked modestly away in this vast throng a gen tleman by the name of Kelley.
 Ever hear of him?
 Holbrook has!
 Yes, he's the same MT. Kelley who, on July 4th, last, umpired the now celebrated game be- tween Flagstaff and Holbrook in Flagstaff. If you have never heard of him, you will, for the name of Kelley is now immortal in the history of base ball in Northern Arizona. MT. Kelley is a student of the Uni versity of Arizona, from which institution two of Flagstaff's most efficient players are ob- tained. MT. Kelley, as we have been informed, was form erly vaudeville performer on the Keith Circuit. Without ever having to our knowledge witnessed his vaudeville act, nevertheless we feel warranted in the assertion that he never pulled anything for Ben Keith. half as funny as was his gratuitous performance on Will Hams Field last Sunday after noon. In his course of study at the University MT. Kelley may have come in contact with the fact that, by patience and perseverance Demosthenes over came an impediment in his speech. He may likewise have absorbed the fact that Cato ac- qulred the Greek tongue at eighty. But sooner or later it must penetrate MT. Kelley's un- derstanding that, though he may possess all the virtues of a Demosthenes and even live to the ripe old age of a Cato, neither the University of Ari- zona nor any other institution in existence will ever be able to qualify him for an umpire of a base ball game.
 Up to last Sunday Flagstaff and Williams had played three games this year. Williams won the first game, which was played here, by score of 8 to 7; Flagstaff won the second and third games, which were played in Flagstaff, by the re- spective scores of to 2 and ; to 4, the latter game going 10 innings. From this it will be seen that every game between these teams had been a real ball game-games that were worth going miles to see. There had not been a squabble of conse- quence in any game of the series, and every game had been fairly and impartially um- p1red by competent and disin- terested umpires. The two teams are therefore practically evenly matched. The one that gets the luck-or "break" as the sporting fraternity call it, would most likely win. Com petent critics had given Flag. credit for being the stronger team in offensive work, and likewise conceded Williams an advantage in the defensive end of the game.
 Sunday both of these teams were in the worst form in which either of them has appeared this year. Can anyone imagine quick-throwing, quick thinking,a a ccurate little Proctor getting two base runners caught within six feet of third base at the Sama finno and mt
