WILLIAMS DEFEATS FLAGSTAFF 8 ID ]

ACk0T, J uOS0 GoOiC
 . Fred Breen, Williams Field last Sunday afternoon might have been taken for an open ar meeting of Flagstaff's w no s Who".
 And what a game!
 From the very first inning when Knibbs walked on four bad ones, until the last man was out in the ninth-when, with O'Connor, Flagstaff star, at the bat, with one down, two strikes on the batter, man on second and one run needed to tie the score-there was scarce ly a minute during the after noon that did not possess a thrill for one side or the other. Time and again Fla gstaf could have won the game by a single hit, but when th>t hit was need ed Biggs would steady down, let out a wrap, and the neces- sary hit would be denied. A pitcher is pitching ball when, with the bases full, Charley Gray and Walter Carlson come up to the bat and are gracefully retired in order. He must be some pitcher too when Tn the last inning one run was needed to tie the score, with a man on second, he deliberately pitches to O'Connor, by far the heaviest hitter on the Flagstaff team. Many pitchers would have walked O'Connor-who had already three hits to his credit, including home run-but Riggs took a chance with the slugger, and Riggs won. For O'Connor hit a liner to little Allen at second, and the game was over.
 And by the way, speaking of this man Allen. Last weeks News called attention to the fact that his work at second should be observed. Did you take notice of it Sunday? Com parisons are, of course, always odious, but we are going to risk this one in order to point a moral and adorn a tale. There were four University of Ari- zona players in Sundays game. Flagstaff presented three of them, while Williams had one Allen. The three players on the Flagstaff team were members of last years regular University team--the first team. Allen was discouraged from even trying to make the team, but he came to Williams high ly recommended by one of the University coaches. In every thing that goes to make a ball player-hitting, running, bunt- ing and fielding--Allen is there. No one man was responsible for Sundays victory, but if any one man is deserving of more credit than another that man would be Allen. A single instance of his wonderful field ing will suffice. In the fifth Amos-who had just previous ly made a splendid catch of a high fly back of third-hit a pop-up fly near the foul line between first and right. It had all the appearance of being a clean single, and no one in the vast assemblage had the slightest idea that any player would attempt to catch it. Little Allen was seen to set full sail for the ball, and to the wonderment of all nabbed it on the fly not four feet from the foul line. It was by all odds the best catch ever made on Williams Field. ''-'
 The game began with Shill on the mound for Williams and Cochran for Flagstaff. Dunn and Browning did the catch ing. Flagstaff scored a run in the first and another in the second. Williams was blank ed in the first, owing. to Sulli- want being sent home from sec ond on a hit by. Sellman, when he should have been held at third. However in the second Williams opened up on MT. Cochran in earnest, and when the smoke cleared away, four runs were chalked up to their credit.
 During the swatfest Cochran was replaced by a gentleman from Doney Park by the name of Hoght-Hogue-Hogg, or
