This past weekend furnished sport of the finest order at the Copper City Classic. Your own Bisbee Black Sox took the field in four stout contests and came away with a noble record of three victories and one drawn match, having bested the Tucson Saguaros Vintage Baseball, the Tombstone Base Ball Club, and the Mesa Miners in gallant fashion.
In the final contest, the Black Sox met the formidable Bisbee Copper Queens Base Ball Club, and after seven innings of brave and spirited play, the match was called with the score even at ten runs apiece. Victory is ever a pleasing thing, yet there is a higher satisfaction still in crossing bats with one’s friends and worthy compatriots.
To all the clubs who made such splendid sport of the occasion, we offer three hearty cheers:
Huzzah!
Huzzah!
Huzzah!
