The morning game was as line
an exhibition of ball as ever seen
here, but in the afternoon contest
Mesa took the lead in the initial
inning and kept piling up scores
the locals having no chance at any
stage Of the game.
NOGALES-GLOBE
Cowboy Ruiz, star Noga!es
twirler, was back in the Globe
game after two months
absence on account of sickness
Ruiz was in his old time fine
form. Shader, one of the out

league, pitched for Globe.
In the first inning, Bojorquez
Nogales, knocked a homerun over
the right fence. Globe scored
four runs in the third inning and

the afternoon game and relieved
by Lopez.
Salazar had things his own way
in the Mesa game, and far out
classed the work of the two No
galcs twirlers. If Nogales could
have put in a pitcher of the cali

been different. The defeat yes

Darrow,s Shortcomings

Speaking to 200 new members of
the bar in Cleveland the other day,
Chief Justice Marshall of the Ohio
supreme court, sharply criticized
Clarence Darrow for his conduct of
the defense in the Scopes case.
Judge Marshall said that the only
legitimate defense in that tHfal was
to challenge the constitutional
validity of the law in question and
yet Mr.. Darrow, he said, with no
purpose or motive except publicity
and notoriety browbeat and bluffed
the presiding judge into admitting
expert evidence on the soundness of
the theory, of evolution. Judge Mar
shall held up Mr.. Darrow as a "hor-
rible example" and declared that his
conduct at Dayton should bring
upon him the condemnation. of all
.self-respecting members of the
bench and bar" ~
AS to the ethics Of Mr.. Darrow's
performance at Dayton we are not
competent to judge. Since the YER
dict of the jury was foregone con-
clusion, we suppose the lawyers on
both sides devoted their efforts to
getting before the public their views
on the great constitutional question
ultimately involved. On both sides
it was an educational endeavor. But
while he was on the subject of Mr.
Darrow, we wish Judge Marshall had
seen his way clear to denounce that
talented mans record in certain
murder cases. In many such cases
