GAME GOES

~ UtO0EL
After Two Decisive Defeats
Home Team Takes Third
Game from Smelter City.
Happy Day for High School.

Decidedly the happiest crowd in
Bisbee yesterday was the Bisbee High
School football team, which made the
remarkable record of defeating team
that a short time ago beat them by a
score of as TO 0. This was their old
rivals, the High School team from
Douglas, whom they defeated yester.
day by a score of to 5.
The game was called at Don Luis
about 5 O'Clock, one hour later than
the time advertised, but which was
unavoidable. About 200 went out on
the excursion train that was run.
practically all of whom were Bisbee
ing brought no rooters with them
Two halves OF twenty-five minutes
each were played.
In the first haR the Bisbee boys
showed their opponents that they were
decidedly up against different prop
osition as compared TO their last game
The tackling of the local team was
the most noticeable gain. the men
having improved 100 per cent. They
were also able TO make steady runs
around the ends for substantial gains
When the rooters on the side lines
saw that Douglas was net to have q
third walk-over, and that there was Z
chance for Bisbee to win, they be
came wild with enthusiasm.
Douglas yielded a touchback and &
touchdown in the first half, and it wa:
not until the latter part of the second
half that the Bisbee team was able
to cross their enemy's goal. Both
sides failed to kick goal.
Rice played his usual game for th'
| Douglas team, and while all of thC
home team did well, the work o
Cunningham at full back, O'Malley al
right half, and Durley as end, are es
| pecially deserving of mention.
Too much credit can hardly be Civ
en- the home team for their victory
Instead of giving up after the two de

opponents, they buckled down t.
/ harder work than ever in preparation
for the third game. and actually over
came a seemingly insurmountabl,
lead.

MAYOR OF TOXIC"
SCORES BIG SUCCESS
Large Company Headed by
Kearney Makes Hit In
This City

At the Bisbee Opera House last
evening John L. KeaTney in the Mayor
Of Toxic" made the hit Of the season
The snow itself is a musical comedy
with catchy music, and funny situa-
tons galore caused by entanglements
among the under officials of the MI
kado's government, and the hard luck
of a theatrical troupe, which is in the
hands of a smooth-tongued adventu-
rons manager.
The scene is laid in Toxic, and Mar
Gus Orlando Kidder is stranded in the
caDifal of the flowery kingdom just
az the time waen the mayor Oh the
city is made the victim OF eohspIr-
acy at the hands Of his prospective
sonin-Iaw. With the thearicai man
ager comes a troupe OF show people
who are on the back salary list Tor a
little over year. kidder and MS
party are mistaken for a crowd OF Tor
eign noblemen, and entertained roy
ally. In the meantime one OF bis com
pany makes love to the mayor $
daughter, and he himself makes love
TO an American heiress. Everything
ends happily.
In the role Of the teatrieal manager
Kearney Is easily in the first rank o;
comedians. He is funny from start to
finish, dances well. and sings with
an inimitable style that keeps the au-
dience IN a continual scream. On one
number last evening he was recalled
/ seven times.
The company is made up Of clever
people. The singing parts In the
hands Of Win White. jeanette Ma
| hew, Ethel TilIison, Geize Bogues be
ing especially well taken care Of. The
chorus are ell well trained and car
sing. The settings are especially eff
fective.
