BY LYLE ABBOTT
In tiielr own peculiar whimsical man
ner. Phoenix fashioned a humiliating i
nrt lobs .f K. Fleharty, who was here
once before, and hasn't forgotten it.
llllllMIIl 11 . 'I i-i.f, - ......
long eventful
years have intervened. E. Flaherty
was assisting a number of individually
brilliant hitters belonging to fleurge
Reed of Albuquerque, to play a base
ball inline at Riverside ball orchard
eBterlay in the evening. And when
Fleharty became no more an effective
pitcher, why. Phoenix organized one of
Ilium? lallles that are not based so
much on a lot of stinging line drives,
us on opportune grouping of all those
factors that go to put men on bases
nd then take them off again by the
j roller route across home plate.
There is one factor that is seldom
Tlgured in nny baseball, and that is
the wrath of the lord. A religiously
inclined ball club would do wonderfully
well to use its stand-in with the heav
enly owers. This is a nice idea for
Kit Rrashear's Sunday scholars.
I'resently it will develop how the in
dignation of the one on high must have
made itself felt in yesterday's game.
John Nutt by rights had a home run.
Rv rights and also by all the power ol
a whopper of a blow into deep center
field. Even if this were not enough,
count in the fact that Murphy ran in
i utep before he ran back a score, and
there you are. But in the score, you
will find no home run for Nutt. The
reason was French. It fell out in this
wie:
Some savage smashing of the. deliv
eries of Mister McCreery in the first
few verses had given the Dukes a three
to get-some lead. Our boys fondled
the ball with their sticks in the sixth,
and much aided by the unrestrained
rooting of the loyal members of the
press, accomplished a pair of runs.
Then it was Nutt's turn in the seventh,
and against the very first ball that the
weakening Fleharty pushed across the
pen, the stout Temprtte laid his bat.
How that ball soared and traveled, has
been related, but how John Nutt trav
eled, and then got soar er hum! sore,
is yet to he mentioned.
Nutt was all right until he got to the
exai t center of his rectangular oprint,
nd then French interposed a part of
hla ierson in th path of the runner.
Being gentlemanly, we shan't mention
what the crowd called French in Eng
lish. Then did the Wrath make itself felt.
Fleharty went wild and walked Lynn
and beaned Pittman, and tpe bases
were full enough so that It aroused

The three chief manufacfurers of
motorcycles are to compete on the
local tracks in an attempt to discover
the merit in two new lines of speed
stuff, by comparison with one that
is irtablished as good. This is the
biggest impression one gets from a
survey of the present line up of en
tries for the Moose 200-mile motor
cycle race Monday, May 31.
In the possession of the Harley
pavidson is now an undoubted su
premacy at the long distances. Both
the Indian and Excelsior makers have
recently completed new models, em
bodying radically new ideas of speed
producing. Both the Indian and Ex
celsior makers are ardently desirous
of hanging one on the Harley, in or
der to prove their several ideas are
right.
While it is to be a race of new
machines, with new wrinkles molded
into 'em, it is by no means sure that
It will not lie a close and hard
fought contest. Without a doubt,
both the Indian and Ex machines
have speed, but whether they do

urally, Scanlon had to pole cut a hit
or ele carrv a lot on his conscience

preferred to make a two bagger whicl

by Demaggio and Scan. But. really,
nobody could have helped much in this
critical juncture, for Scanlon was de
termined to score, and aided bv the
bunt of Maggie, nothing short of a mir
acle could have stopped him.
Such a warming up seemed to put
much spirit into McCreery. The heart
stopping crack of the Ducal hickory
against the horsehide ceased as though
by magic. True, Davis took advantage
of an unwary moment in McCreery's
eighth inning activities, and drew a
gasp with a long searching drive for
two bases into center field. But it
booted him nothing and we hope the
printer doesn't set it "boost".

Joe Wolters yesterday secured for
Harry Crandall, the release of the
Boido machine, which has been held
up in the depot, pending the pay
ment of. the C. O. D. charges. Boido
would not make a deposit on the
machine because he would not ac
cept it unless it would do 49 seconds
to the mile. Agent Lane would not
pay the charges without a deposit.
And there it was deadlocked. Finally.
Wolters wired the factory that he
wanted the machine released so he
could tune it for Crandall, put up a
stall about having some fierce com
petition, and got the bus for Harry.
The only other large thing in the
news line on the Moose race yester
day was the announcement by the
Motorcycle company that the Indian
factory had selected M. Graves as the
hour race in which Ben Rudderow
won third a year ago.
Gerig, who is a kid-comer if there
ever was one, laid aside the tools
with which he had been tinkering
the old Dan Hosmer machine, and
gleefully glanced at the short cou
pled racer that is to be his'n.
Crandall will unload Pa Boido's
machine today, the restrictions as to
guarantee removed, and with the help
of Joe Wolters will endeavor to
break up some furniture out at the
track.
Perry and his two machines, and
possibly a person named Don Johns,
formerly famous here as the Cyclone
rider, will arrive the last of the week,
to try out the Excelsiors.

Until Mr. Sterling officiated yester
day, most Phoenix fans were wis'hful
that In choosing a numbpire to drop
now that but two games a day will be
nlayed in the lee-gew. the officials
would consider Mr. Harry Kane as the
most likely candidate for the guillotine.
The Senators may be able to outvote
the Dukes in a ball contest occasionally,
but if it were a series of boxing bouts,
our money would go the other way.
We are giving a way an average of
many pounds per man, as the pugilist
sharps say.
And that beef counts "for" when
swung out on the end of a bat, and
"against", when it attempts to gyrate
in a rapid manner about an infield.
And It is a cinch that unless the
Mackmen are a highly spiced outfit,
the Hesterites will have by far the ma
jority of the pepper in this league.
This is funny. There have been
Pitfeds. Newfeds, Smokefeds, Chifeds,
fcloufeds. Brookfeds and Buffeds,
since outlawry began to be rife in
baseball. Now there are Confeds,
