CRACK PLAYERS
SECURED BY
PHOENIX
Manager Of Browns Strength
ening His Team In Anticipa-
ton of Series Which viii Be
Played at Don Luis.

Judging from dispatches received in
the city yesterday announcing that
Manager Goldberg of the Phoenix
Browns had released a couple Of the
crack Wichita team, which he import
ed for the purpose of beating the To-
cal contingent in the Tucson tourna-
ment, the outfit from the capital city
will arrive here tomorrow morning
confident of being able to win all
three games OF the series which will
be played at the Don Luis baseball
park.
AS was reported on Tuesday, it was
confirmed yesterday that Goldberg
had secured the services of Franz and
Sullinger, of the Tucson team, =uu
with their help will endeayor to at
least capture two out of the three
games which will be played here COM
mencing tomorrow. With the addition
of these two men Phoenix has a team
composed of professionals OF more or
less national reputation in the field OF
baseball, and to keep up their good
record the local aggregation will have
to play the best kind of ball tossing
1t is also probable that there will
be a slight change in the line up OF
the local team, it being expected that
Arnold, who was the star of the fast
Cananea team will be retained to hold
down the first sack for Bisbee. In this
event, "Effie" Wilson, who has been on
| the initial base. will take his regular
position in left field. Corr, who played
with Douglas, has been secured to
take care of the right garden. Other
wise the home boys will play the
same as usual
Up to the present time Bisbee has
shown that it has one OF the fastest
if not the best collection of baseball

FIRE IN MINE IS
THOUGHT To Be
P Put OH Oljf
Air Is Cut Off From SRattuck-
Arizona This Course Being
Pursued to Smother Flames
In Shaft.

According IN sana-fs f-.a,r, +ha ChA.-
tuck-Arizona mine last evening the
fire which broke out underground in
| that property early yesterday morn
| ing, had been quenched. although up
| to that time il was impossible to des-
cend the shaft or get into the prop
erty through the drifts connecting ii
with the Cuprite shaft OF the Copper
| Queen Company. The company Of
ficials have little fear of the fires
causing any large amount of damage.
Yesterday morning the volunteer
fire fighters kept up the work of play
ing water down the shaft, and in the
drift ON the 200 level of the CupTite a
force of miners Installed a bulkhead
effectually shutting of the dense vol
ume Of smoke that had started pour
ing through from the Shattuck. About
II O'Clock yesterday there was very
little smoke coming up the shaft, and
it was decided to close the entire mine
as securely as possible. by shutting off
the supply of air, il being thought that
in this way, If there were any flames
below they would be smothered by the
smoke. This course was followed out,
and last evening, when one of the
bulkheads was opened to investigate
very little smoke came through the
opening.
Superintendent B. NJ. Pattison, when
seen last evening by a representative
Of the Review, said:
We have made no attempt to get
down the shaft yet to the scene of the
fire. Streams of water were played
into the mine for several hours yes
terday morning. and finally the air
current was closed of as effectually
as possible. This evening the situa-
ton seems to be very much improved
and l doubt If there is any trouble re-
naming outside of perhaps some
smouldering timbers.
"As nearly as we can judge the fire
Is confined to the station on the 500
level, and undoubtedly some of the
timbers in the shaft were ignited. The
Slopes are a long distance from the
shaft, so | do not think there is any
trouble at those points.
"On behalf of the company I want
10 express appreciation of the gener-
GUS action Of those gentlemen who on
hearing of the accident came to the
mine and rendered material assistance
in getting the flames under cntrol
There is no doubt that had it not
been for the assistance they gave US
the damage would have been much
greater.
We will keep the mine closed for
couple of days, and will then make
an examination, as / believe by that
time the situation win. be the same az
usual"

berS TO TIE Selected.

Following a luncheon given at the
Y. NJ. c. A. building last evening an
enthusiastic meeting was held by
twenty of the active members of the
association. The object of the meet
ing was the organization of mem
bership campaign to begin immediate
ly and close on December S1st, at 10
o'clock p. m.
There was a wide range of discus
sion and many plans were suggested
and thoroughly gone over. Finally a
vote was taken and it was decided TO
organize two teams composed OF mem
bers of the association, to take part in
contest The members of these
teams will be selected from the trades
and professions and men living in ali
parts of the camp so that there will
be but few men in the city who will
not have chance to join the associa-
ton within the next forty days.
There will be mass meeting OF
the association membership at the Y,
NJ. C. A. this evening at z O'Clock
sharp for the purpose OF organizing
the teams. Plans for an aggressive

the association is urged to be presen;
and take part in the planning of the
contest. Every member of the asso
citation will be given an opportunity
to take part in the contest and be-
come a member of either of the teams.

sociation is about 450 and it is eN
pected that this will be largely in
creased by the first of the year. There
is something OF interest going on
every evening at the Y. NJ. c. A. and
and when the new addition to the
building now under construction is
finished the association will have
much more suitable equipment for its

Station agents in the West regularly
