Captain Brashear sliding to second in ! the fourth sprained an ankle and Kelts t was sent to right field .and Kullcr to first for the next inning. The loss of "Kitty" meant a great difference to the Tucson team. Tucson and Phoenix each used two pitchers and two men were hurt. Scan Ion was in jured in the groin while sliding into second and was replaced by Young. Brown batted once when MoCrocry was taken out and before Hall was sent in. The first two innings neither scored then both mwde one in the third. Phoenix got another in the fourth and Tucson two in the fifth.

Kelts sent another hot : one to Iowling who scooped it al- lowing Kuller to get second and Kelts i first. Cox made a line drive to Ale- j Ardle, who nabbed it, made a short arm throw to second and caught Kelts who was forced and then Howling spun in down to first catching Cox out. This retired the side. Had Gait stuck on second the chances are Tucson could have sewed up the game right here. In the seventh Phoenix tied the score. Xutt grounded out to Kuller. S. anion grounded in the same place anil was safe. Hester bunted to Gait who tried to catch ' Scanlon at second. Scanlon was safe and Hester also. n an overthrow to first Scan lon made third and Hester second. Brown then batted for McCrecry and made a safe hit to right sending in Young, who was running for Scanlon. Demaggio took a walk and filled the bases. Wise Old Kitty Then "Kitty" Brashear showed his baseball intelligence by sending in Kulweider. although Gait received an ovation from the fans when he went to the bench. Howling flew out to Kelts. McArdle fouled out to Callan. This retired l'hoenix with the bases full. There were no more scores till the twelfth. Young flew out to Stadilli Hester sent a foul to the fence but McGcehan made a beautiful catch and two were out. Hall hit safe to right then Doniagsio stepped up and an awful thing happened. Over the right field fence went the sphere and Hall and the "Wop" scored. The last half of the ninth brought forth a walk for Barton and Kulweider fanned. Stadilli was at the bat ami Barton ran for second. but Kane claimed Howling tagged him. although to everyone in the grandstand it was certain Barton slid under and was nt touched. Stroloff slammed to McArdle who caught Stadilli. forcing him at second and ending the game. Another thing which displeased the crowd was Stadilli's hit over the right field fence on which he was allowed only two bags.

COMMEHT It took twenty three players to stage that 12 inning victory for the Senators yesterday, and a thousand people to see it all. The word "HOI W will now become one of the prominent parts of our Phoenix vo cabulary, so that this burg may match the baseballism of the good Old Pueblo. e League gossip has it that Hester is to get one more heavy hitting out fielder and one south pa wed pitcher gent. This listens mighty good to the local fans who, since the winning of the inaugural series, have come right out and demanded pennants and other utward evidences of victory. With one more good pitcher Burt Coy. for instance and one more lovely hurler, l'hoenix will put up an Awful battle or that start spangled baseball banner, a More hospital stuff. Xow it's Scanlon that's hurt. Also Kit Brashear. Both will don uniforms for the coin ing series at Riverside park.

We will drive from here to San Diego and get things in shape for the start on May 5 or 7. While I have not yet complet ed arrangements, I believe we shall start from the exposition grounds, f have asked Kred W. Jackson, promin ent in au'.i circles there to start us. Our present inlention is to leave San Diego at midnight, in order to escape some of lh traffic which would cut down our time were wc to Mart in the daytime. We are md going to make any pre dictions as to time, but if flesh and blood and sturdy motor can do it, we hope to mako a one-man drive record that will be worth shooting at, should any other driver wish to attempt it. The story of the trip is perhaps old to Arizona Republican nailers. Briefly, Baker will set a one-man auto drive record from San Diego to Xew York. At present there is no such record. I go along as on observer of the'A. A. A. and the representative of newspapers to gather data as to nmd conditions ami to see that Baker drives every incl; of the 3400 miles.

I Demaggio. the sturdy little chorus! girl who plays left field for l'hoenix, I will stand a good chance of winning the Gass Bros. Meals for the first , home run in the Tucson-Phoenix i "serious" here. We don't know who1 is best man to win the pool ticket reward for appropriating the most bases, but Harry Johnson says it goes, just as it lays. Cnsramma tica I but el :uent. i P. C. Gcttins' suggestion that the Senators be met with a band is a winner. It was a hard fought series ir.'i the locals; deserve a lot of com- ' niendation. at Springfield can approach his nio torcvcle record of last May 11 days. 12 hours and 10 minutes remains to be seen. My personal convktion is that Baker will pilot his Stutz Bearcat across in lets" than 15 days. Mere printers' ink will fail in an attempt to pi ture the punishment thai car and tiders will undergo. Take tic averago man's feelings after a ;t(0-'r-ile and. 1 ide and multiply them by a dose of it every day for H days at top speed, throw in the lack of (deep necessarily a part of the ride and see what a job it would be to contemplate. Then re member contemplation is nothing com pared to actuality, once started noth ing like sand, heat, rain, mud or snow can be permitted to stop the trip. Time is remorseless it will not stop; so we must keep abreast of time. And if Paker wins as all his friend.; hope he will it will be a wonderful achievement. There is a little sl"ry connected with equipping the car with I hoik wire w heels that shows the t horoughncss of t'ne bit; long-legged motorcyclist. List November .-tier Baker had won the KI Paso-lo-P!ioeni. motorcycle race he saw Barney oldfield and his mud plastered Stutz win the Los Augelc-to-Phoenix auto race. And w ise i H Barney ha I equipped his car with wire wheels. When Baker looked the car oer he could not find a loose spoke and he asked Barmy what wheels they were anil Oldfield told him. Wheels Hint h.'d stood the punishment that oldfield gave them were good enough Tor Baker and he wired me at Indian apolis: "When I make my auto trans continental I make it in a Stutz car with IlouU wire wheels." So T was not at all surprised wlien he told me on January l that Ii had bought a Stutz liearcat.
