The Seeing Phoenix excursion started about o'clock and returned a little before ,, and all the members of the team voted it~a great trip. Jock Blinkcorn was the life of the bunch. furnishing most of the hot air to keep thinks going. Jock has the title of be- ing one of the star joshers of the Phoenix contingent of fans. but Jock Is harmless and has kept out of jail.
 There were numerous incidents on the trip. but for fear some might be considered eligible to the Ananias club, the most highly colored tales must be omitted. The crowd started out to paint the country brown. not red. that flamboyant tint having been decided ly eliminated from the Phoenix paint shop forevermore. The color is brown henceforth. There are certainly many wonders along the baseline from Washington street to the Comeback It is in the first place. on the trans continental trail for the pioneer jack rabbits who are heading away from a Peoria rabbit drive

The Jackrabbit was making a steal Tor sec ond base so Cy hiked out after him just as the long -eared slid in and Jock Blinkcorn called him safe.
