The Coconino sun., 1924-06-13

support always SO gilt-edged it hurt
your eyes to look at it.
They're a good bunch of fellows,
those Kingmanites, anyhow. And if
we have to keep on losing ball games,
Wed just as lief they'd get one or two
more to go along with the two they
already have taken away from us.
From this point on Jake Bracker
has the floor and will picture to you
just how it was misplayed in detail,
not Guessing over anything, treating
friend and foe alike, nor forgetting
Umpires Lefty Lewis, who did the
balls and strikes hollering for Flag
staff, and Senor CASTLE, or Cast-steel,
or some such name, who kept watch
of the BASES. They did good job,
both of them, and have no share in
ignominy, except as accessories after
the fact, same as were the 800 or so
spectators who enjoyed the game,
even if it was ragged.
The star catch of the game was
made by Smith, who picked one off
hrs shoe strings, headed into the tufa
sand and plowed up several yards
thereof, struck some obstruction with
his nose, throwing same out of the
furrow and rolling him on his back,
feet and hands in the air and the
sphere still clutched betwixt the latter

Curtis error and beat it to second

stellar southpaw raped the first ball

Harris struck out. George walked
and went out to second on Carlson's

field to bring down his pop-up, George
scoring from second. Hayes doubled
to center. Yerrington reached first
on Smiths error at short, Anderson
and Hayes scoring. Bale bingled to

Bale stole second. Mcmillan hit
safely, but was thrown out trying to

to be counted as a tally. AS q matter

the plate when Mcmillan was thrown
out. Five runs, three hits. Flag
