Ell PASO, July 12.-After dropping
two straight games to the Blues, the
Juarez Indians came back Sunday with
frim determination, macng down their
opponents, 12 to IL, by a belated rally
and putting a stop to Douglas mad
dash for the second half pennant. Pete
Arzate's mighty three base wallop
with two mates aboard in the last half
of the eighth inning decided the ISSUE
Many Base Hits
The Indians met the Blues at their
own game and began collecting hits
by the dozen. A five run drive in the
fourth inning gave Juarez a two-run
lead, which they were able to enjoy
for only two innings, as Douglas re-
taliated in the sixth and seventh
frames. JJpt to the time of Arzate's
winning clout, the Blues were leading
by a lone point.
Douglas began pecking away at
Arguijo's delivery in round number
three, and continued stream of runs
that lasted through the seventh in
ming. They scored their first three
tallies on hits by Lindsey, Weaver ana
Chase, and their next four on three
hits and two errors. The lone tally IN
the fifth was the result of two sue
cessive doubles by Herbstreithq ana
Underwood, while the next two came
in the sixth Chester, leading off in
the sixth, punched a single over third
base and took second on a wild heave
by Arguijo.
Herbstreith dragged one down TO
Gonzales who three low to first base,
and the Blue runner went to second.
Chester, m e w h i e, was putting
homeward, and was caught at the
plate on the relay, Carrizozo to Ar
zate. After a brief argument, Ches-
ter was ruled safe and sent back to
third base, as he was only allowed
one base on wild throw. Both run
ners dented the plate on Brandenberg S
single past short.
Lindsey Last to Score
Bunny Lindsey was the last Doug
las runner to score. He gained flrst
base on single and went around to
third on Chase's fluke hit to short.
Chases hopper should have been an
easy out, but it took a mean hop just
as it cot to Gonzales. Chase started
for second, and Arzate threw to Min
iarez. who shot the ball back to the
Juarez catcher when Lindsey broke
for home from third.

TWINS BEAT GIANTS

SANTA RITA N. NJ, July 12.-The
Ell Paso Giants failed in their Sunday
attempt to win three straight games
over the Chino Twins and were forced
to accept the short end of a 9 to z
score. Tilton opened for Ell Paso and
lasted two innings. Pirtle, who re-
lieved him, Jared no better, and had
to abdicate in favor of King, a new
Giant hurling acquisition.

completely upset the invaders, who
were unable to regain their bearings.
Holman, Parrish and Green alternated
on the mound for Chino. Meyers, with
home run to his name; Routh, who
hit three out of four, and Meanor,

SPECIAL ELECTION.

The special election held in Seward tomorrow to exclude certain portions of land from the town limits is Of very great importance to the commu- nifty and every freeholder having the qualifications of voters should perform their duty so there may be repre- sentative vote.
 There appears to be some opposi- ton to the exclusion from the city of site of the Jesse Lee Home. It would seem to one familiar with the facts that there is no merit to this Opposi- tion for the city has everything to gain and nothing to lose by the exclu- sion.
 The purpose of the exclusion is to enable the Territory to establish a territorial school for the children re- siding in the Home. This means ad- ditional revenue to the city by the en- plovment of additional teachers whose salaries are paid wholly by the Terri tory. It also means the erection, of another large building at the Home Site for school purposes, and relieves the city of the burden of supplying school facilities for the large number of children residing in the Home, which would become necessary if the Home is continued in the city limits. The city loses no taxes by the exclu- sion since the property of the Home is not to be taxed.
 The procedure fixed by the Territo- rial legislature for the annexation or exclusion of any territory from city limits requires that the matter shall II be passed upon By the District Court and then submitted to the voters of the city at a special election for that purpose. So the slight expense neces- sary to a special election is matter that cannot be avoided as it is requir- ed by law.
 For the information of voters we are publishing elsewhere in this 1s- sue a copy of the ballot to be used at the election tomorrow Those in fav- or of the exclusion will vote for the exclusion by marking in the proper square for that purpose and those op- posed to the exclusion from the city l limits of the site occupied by the Jesse Lee Home will vote by marking l in the square against exclusion.
 Only persons may vote who own real estate in the city.
 It is a question which vitally inter ests every property owner in the city as the addition of the children at the
