Baseball Notes.

Americans paid $5,O0O,000 to see
their favorite game played in the
professional parks last year. How
much more they spent in Quitting
and supporting semi-professionals
college and amateur mines cannot be
estimated. How many afternoons
the sons of Uncle Sam knocked off"
to take in a game could not be cal
culated without endangering an or
binary mans arithmetic.
Professional ball players in the
two major leagues were paid $780,
900 in salaries last year, while the
thirty-one minor leagues expend
about $2,000,Vo0 in salaries. More
than 100000 people witnessed the
games of the major leagues, and
the total attendance on all kinds of
ball games in one season is roughly
estimated at 40,000,000, or half the
population of the country if they
should have turned out in one day.

Takes No Chance.

Joe Cans has arranged for another
easy pick up-$S,000 win, lose or
draw with Memsic is like getting
money from home-and while the
Chicago whirlwind will be able to
give good account of himself, he is
hardly in a class with Cans, and bar
ring accidents there can be but one
ending, and that is defeat for the
Windy City fighter. Memsic, no
doubt, figures that if he can make
good showing against Cans it will
aid him in securing many more bat
ties with the top-notchers. Cyclone
Thompson stood up twenty rounds
with Memsic and lost on decision.
If Cans wins from Memsic and Mel
son from Britt, the probabilities are
that the two winners will be matched
to fight at Tonopah on Labor day,
which will be a year to day since
they last met. The fight fans are
deeply interested in the Nelson-Britt
contest, which will take place in San
Francisco some time in August. Ev-
erybody is anxious to know whether
Nelson was hurt so much in his fight
with Cans as to injure him in his flu
ture contests.
Rube Smith, the hard hitting and
speedy welterweight of Denver, and
Mantell, of Utah, have been matched
to fight in Ogden. The men are said
to be evenly matched and the con-
test will undoubtedly attract great
deal of attention. When the pair
comes together there will be a num-
Der of Denver fans at the ringside
as RUDE is very popular in the Colo
RADIO metropolis.

 Scott is an oid-time resident of the valley and heretofore has borne a good reputation. The trouble is the outgrcwtn of q dispute over deal for the purchase of Scott's ranch and horses by W. A Cook
 From what can be leaTned of the affair. 1t seems that Cook baygalned with Scott for the purchase of she latter's ranch and horses for $I0.oG0 on May 2I On the date, 1t is al leged. Cook paid Scott 5000 as part of fheA purchase price, with the prom ise he would pay the further sum of s2000 On the first. of the following month.

NOW PREPARING
 DETAILS
Big EIks Celebration At Don Luis Will Be One Of Greatest Entertainments Ever Offer ed In The District.

At 6 o'clock this evening the com mittee will declare the beauty con. test closed, and those ladies whose friends have put them forward in the big Elks' tourney will compose the group from which will be selected Dy the judges the pFeJIiesL iady in Co- chise county on Sunday Up to the present time there have been about an equal number of entries from Douglas and Bisbee, while Lowell is represented by about half as many as either of the two larger cities.
 That a contest of this kind i
 most delicate task to handle has been impressed on the committee in charge during the past week, as those gentlemen who compose the commit tee have 8 great many friends among the ladies of the city, and it has been necessary in many instances to sedd out assurances of the selection of judges competent to act in conjunction with Joseph S. McKeehan of Bisbee. who has proved most acceptable not only in Bisbee, but in Ouglas, where he is also well known. The Tepresen- tatiyes of Douglas will be named to- day, at which time the third member| will be decided UpGn.
 The committee on arrangements is | deyoting a great deal of time and at tention to the big parade which will l eclipse anything ever seen in the War | ren district There will be many fea- | lures which the committee refuses to ! make public at the present time but l which will undoubtedly be most at 1 tractive.
 Special advices from Douglas late ] last night were to the effect that not lonly would tthe ismereSr city send
 a special train of delegates but tat i ten automobiles from that city would take part in the parade brining the number up to 2.
 Yesterday afternoon :t was report
 ed that the Douglas contingent would come prepared to offer odds of 10 to | on their baseball team. but no one l could be found who would substan- tiate this rumor Although Pisbee has not played together as long as the smelter city team it is believed that
 individually the players are far su.
 perior totheir prospective opponents
 in the matter of handling the bat
 and ball, and even money is the best that is expected.
