 organized for the season. At meeting held last Thursday 1t was decided to discontinue the games on account of the warm weather. The nine will be reorganized early next fall, the grounds placed in shape, grand stand erected and other steps taken to properly play the game and entertain the populace' The nine has been a source Of pleasure to the people of Yuma during the past winter and it is to be regretted that they are to discontinue the games. But it is entirely to warm for people to stand in the sun for an hour or two to watch a ball game and they wisely decided to wait until better aCcOmoda- tions are provided. Manager Green leaf and Captain Martin have done good service and proved themselves to be the right men in the right places.

The Return of a Rough Rider.

Al Wright returned Thursday from Cuba. MT. Wright went from Yuma with the Rough Riders and after the war remained at Santiago, where at one time he had charge of the street cleaning department and superintend- ent of the new wharf. He has also lately been engaged in several big government contracts. He says Cuba has chan sed wonderfully for the best since American occupation and pre- diets bright future for the Pearl of the Antilles Mir. Wright believes in national expansion. He says: "I am a democrat, but I can't swallow their anti-expansion policy; 1 would like to see the Stars and Stripes floating over every fortress in the world, and I am willing at any time to do my share towards that end. It Is a we'll known fact as demonstrated in Cuba, that civilization and enlightment follow in the wake of the American flag" While in the army NIT. Wright was color sergeant and a most gallant soldier. He visited Governor Roosevelt at AL bany few days before his return to Yuma. He and Billy Marvin, as veter- ous of the Spanish war, have enjoyed a reunion and love feast of several days duration. Al expects to go to Cape Nome with the party of Yuma people who leave next month.
