OUTLAWS PLANNED BOLD RAID
 IN YUMA.

..ieutenant Wheeler, of.tbe Arizona Rangers. believes that in the capture of !. Alexander, a few days sgo at ySma, that he has partially broken up a gang of outlaws who have been holding forth in the vicinity of the Yuma eoun- try for some time.
 Wheeler recently received a letter from the United states authorities at Denver, asking what had been done with Alexander, stating that they wanted him on s charge of counterfeit' ing. He informed them that he had been turned over to the Graham coun. ,y authorities, who were holding him on the bigamy chnrgc.
 IL Is definitely known that Willis Wood, who Is wanted in Coehise coun. ty for several ofYenses, and who ha. been indicted by the United States grand jury Of that district on charge of robbing tho pest office at Turner a few years ago. has been the companion of Alexander, for some time, and they were frequently seen together on the streets of Yuma, and in fact, Willis Wood has been in the office of She. rifY Livingston at Yuma an several cc- cnsions and talked Co that official, who was unaware that the man was s much wanted criminal, and it was not until Lieut.. Wheeler had been told by Livingston about Alcxander's part ner and described him ,o the Ranger that Wheeler told Livingston who the outlaw was. Besides being wanted in that county, Wood is known to bs one of the men that recently held up s saloon at Silver Bell and killed | Mexican who resisted.
 Alexander, after his arrest, made several admissions to the officers as t' some of his companions and that woo' and Burt Alvord were two of them hut would not reveal who the res were. although it has been known fo some time that there were five or si, men in the gang. The officers, and Lieutenant Wheel CT in particular, about the first Q
 this month discovered a plot of th
 gang in Yuma county to make a raid but which of two objects the outlaw had in view has not yet been dcterm ' ined. One was to hold up n Soutberl , Pacific train at Monbank summit O , else to rob the wells-Fsrco office thcr

New York's commercial life depends upon the excellence of her port facilities, and although mil. lions have been spent on their improve. ment, many more millions are needed The publication this week of the an. nual report on the progress of the liar. lem ship canal, which Is urgently needed to relieve the congestion of ship. ping in the East river, shows that in twenty years only sixty per cent of the work has been completed, and that al the present rate of appropriation it will not be finished before 1920. In this matter it is pointed out here that the interests of the Atlantic and Pa. cifc coasts are identical. for at pre-. sent congress is more disposed to fav. or improvements to the Mississippi val ley section on the ground that these are better e.getters.

MAYER, Aug. is-The mission workers' ice cream social, given at the Wagner hotel last Thursday evening. proved to be a great success, both SO cislly and financially. On entering the dining room, each guest was provided with pencil and paper. and invited by the president (Mrs. W. <. Deeds), to "guess what flowers we have in our garden" There were sixteen pictures on the wall, each representing a diff ferent flower. One picture was of a goat, beneath which was a cup, the flower it represented being buttereup.
 Later in the evening there were 25 more pictures displayed. These were parts of advertisements eut from diff ferent papers and magazines, leaving just suggestion ss to what it might he. Quaker Oats, Lowney's Chocolate Victor Monographs, and others ads equally as well known were used in the contest.
 Mrs. Valley very kindly consented to give two piano solos, one cf which was | the "Prison Song from II Trovatore. VI with variations.

Ballooning is the summer fad in the metropolis this year. Scarcely n day passes that someone does not make an ascent, and balloons are continually coming down unexpectedly upon one E roof or in one's back yard. As for the farmers of Wcstchester or the Jer. sey counties near New York, they have ceased to be astonished when gen tleman swoops down on them out of the sky and, stepping out of his aerial car, politely asks for a glass of milk. The tragic death of Paul Noequet, the prominent sculptor and balloonist, ear. ly in the season, apparently did not damp in the slightest degree the local members of the Aero club, and follow CTS of the sport generally. Not few women in the city are now expert bal. ioonists. The only persons who have abandoned the sport in the metropolis are a few professional aeronauts, who came to the city hoping to make for tune by charging admission to the en
 closures where they made their ascents Inasmueh as the crowds stayed outside of the fence, and saw the ascension' free of charge, the professionals foun' that their proposed harvest of dollars | failed.

The costly ramifcations of munici' pal red tape were beautifully illus trated recently when q voucher was re- ceived by the finance department from the Board of Education stating that the city was indebted to a certain school supply dealer, for the purchase of five blue prints, the sum of five cents. After going through the au- diting department of the Board of Ed ucation, the hill was forwarded to the auditing department of the finance de- pertinent, where it passed through the hands of eighteen high .salaried off eials. These gentlemen spent at least s4.95 worth of the city's time in hand ling the papers, 90 that it cost up wards of 6 to settle bill of five cents. Moreover, the voucher spent fifteen days in the finance department, being transferred from one functionary to an other.

 LEAGUE GAMES Four Clubs Only Played Yester- day-.he Standing of the
 Teams.

The two games played by the City Amateur league yesterday were of the star order and kept the crowd of fans we'll interested until the close. In the first contest tho Pastimes and the North Ends faced each other and q we'll fought battle 1t was. It was U twirlers' battle with Bob Moran for the Pasttmes and Dick Phelan for the North Ends doing excellent work. So speedy and correct was the delivery of those two lads that but two hits were made by each team. None of those hits figured in the scoring, which Is a remarkable thing. The North Ends scored their only run in the very first inning. Tommy Lawlor was hit by the ball. stole sec ond and third and came home when 6pellman dropped the third strike on Noonan. The Pastimes made their runs In the fourth inning on errors alone. Johnny Edmonds landed safe iy at first on Dawson's error. He made a dash to steal second and on the wild throw to catch him he took third. Dews was hit by the ball and stole second. Nelson. who was catching, let the ball go by him and both Pastimes scored. During the rest of the game the pitchers held full sway of the game. The score:

The Prodigals Fall Victims to he New Haven. : Other Resuts
 in This League.

The New Haven Leader of yester. day describes Saturdays game as. follows: a
 Three thousand persons shouted themselves hOarse at the Prairie yes- terday afternoon when New Haven shut Waterbury out in a terrific con test filled with sensational plays and exciting incidents. Waterbury had the bases filled and none out in the eighth, but by inexcnsable errors of judgment failed to get a man over the rubber. dope was sent to the bench in the ninth for insubordina- tion, and Manager Danaher was or dered from the field, where he had taken his station, surrounded by angered and excited sympathisers. Corcoran and Hogarty pitched ex- cellent ball. with honors slightly in favor of the winning twlrler. Curley, the umpire, had six close decisions that would have feazed veteran, but they were evenly divided and passed without any more serious trouble than n word fight.
 The Blues could not find Hogarty until the fourth and in the fifth he began to weaken. and the fatal sixth brought the home team, by Burke, their first tally. Another in the sev- enth, by Jope. was the second and the last of the game. New Haven got eight hits of Hognrty and Wa terbury secured seven from Corcor- an.
 In the ninth inning the excitment ran to fever heat. Curley called two of Corcoran's best efforts ball, while players and fans on all sides were sure that they were as good strikes as have been served over the plate this season. Jope threw down the ball and disputed the decision with the umpire, who ordered him from the field. Lawson took his plate Another strike was placed over and Curley again called Ball." when Manager Danaher rushed out upon the field in front of the Waterbury bunch and. surrounded by bunch of excited fans, coached his players and advised a protest. Curley then, at the request of the Waterbury con- tingent, ordered him from the field, to which Mir Danaher replied not a word but obeyed.
 No New Haven player dared steal base after two men had been caught in the net. for Hughes, of Wa terbury, the backstop, proved an nc- curate and wonderful man with the sphere. Nichols and O'Hagan took a base In this manner for Waterbury. Hannifan made the only two base hit and Corcoran the only error of the contest. Both pitchers struck out four men.
 Hognrty, the ex-Holy Cross pitch CT who was an easy mark for the college batsmen, did wonderfully well in the box considering his rec ord With the bases filled fin the eighth Hogarty took the stick and got three balls from Corcoran, an- other was pitched which went wide of the plate. but he offered nt 1t and as 1t was the third strike walked to the bench. waterbury's chance to score was lost forever. He received hot reception from his team mates when he sat down. The score:

Better games all around.

Better games all around.
 Pete Lawlor was again there with his trusty stick.
 Peculiar game that first one when the hits made had nothing to do with the scoring of the runs. Pastimes are stepping some for that pennant.
 Report says that there was a little rOwdy work at the games yesterday. The participants know what the pen aity Is and there had better be no more of 1t.
 Both of the official umpires were away on their vacations but this fact was not known until time to call the game or another oficial referee would have been named. Perhaps that was the cause of the rowdy work
 Many people are asking that only fwo games be played every sunday. It is not possible to do this unless two teams drop out and If they did drop out a new scheiule would have to be made out and to this the lead ers would have the right 10 object

 Red Owens Las batted for .262 with York in the Tri-State league. Hooters who were at the game in New Haven Saturday, say the Prod igals were robbed.
 Hal Chase's knee, which he hurt | just before the western trip, is still bothering him and interfering some what with his work. The Boston Herald mentions Bill Murray and Hugh Jennings as pos- abilities for the managership of the Boston Americans next year. Nice protection a visiting team is given when rowdies are allowed to ln- suit visiting captain as was done in New Haven Saturday to Captain O'Hagan.
 We must do better batting this week than we did last or down the ladder we will slip to the fourth or fifth position. Jack Tighe has his eye on Springfield now. not Water bury.
 Eddie Curley tried to be fair and square in his umpiring Saturday but close decisions came so frequently that his head was in the clouds dur ing the last few innings.-New Ha- ven Palladium.
 New Haven will come here to- morrow and in square manner and square umpire we will show them how the game can be played. Every rooter is needed at that game. both male and female.
 Six hundred at a double header in New London and on Saturday is pretty poor attendance. No wonder the other managers ask to have the games transferred Two little semi professional teams would draw more than that at double header.
 All the managers of the shop lea que and the players on the various teams will hold very important meeting tomorrow evening at room 10, c. A. R. building at s o'clock. Every member Is requested to be present as important business is to be transacted.
 So far as the race for first place Is concerned the percentages indicate the American league to be much more evenly balanced than the National. There are five teams in the American league with a percentage of over 800 and none better than 600. while in the National league only three teams are above 800. one of these being over TOO.
 An explanation from Manager o'Rourke of Bridgeport about why Murphy was allowed to pitch for Manchester Saturday will be eagerly awaited. Manager Kennedy of last years Hartford team refused to play a man because he had been in an in- dependent team while under contract with Hartford. Tuckey was suspend ed for playing with an independent team. f is up to 0'Rourke to sus- pend Murphy or admit that his base ball law Is moonshine.-Hartford Courant.
