ARIZONA UP.TO-DA1t
 RYIHMIC REVELATION
The oisplaeine of the Old Dispensation of the Early Prophets by the Newer Faith of the Apostles of Irrigation.

Almost everybody Is familiar with what is supposed to be the first poem ever written descriptive of Arizona. IL is common knowledge that il was per petrated at least twenty five years ago. but how much longer cannot be ascertained at this time. IL has ap- peared from time to time since then. authorship being claimed by some new plagiariSt with every reappearance. The poem itself Is libel on Arizona of the most pronounced type. though it was probably not intended as such. At the time it was written it would have passed for a truthful description. even among the few people who lived in Arizona. In those days cactus was not thornless or valuable for many purposes to which man has applied it. The same Is true of about everything else that grows. Mesquite was only a nuisance while now it is worth almost it's weigh, In gold for firewood, The mountains were then mere piles of rocks while now they cover vast Storchouses of valuable minerals, Tho sand Was then just sand with the wa ter running off it. while now the sand Is soil and the water makes it the richest ia the world. and so an to the end of the story,
 There is nothing h Arizona but what Is worth whtle, There are q few things vet that have not been actually discovered" but they win be one ot these days and scientific men arc busy, Through the development ot Arizona tt has been demonstrated again that when the country was planned and built the Creator knew what he was doing. nc was fixing up the raw ma ierial for model country and ,he only trouble with the early poets was that they did nc; know a good thing when they saw l.

Grills on Forward Pass Crosses
Goal Line for Only Touchdown
of the Game.

BY getting away with a cleverly
.eXecuted forward pass, Grills, the half
back of the Marion High School team
found a field ahead of him and scored
the only touchdown in the Marion
Kenton game at the latter place Sat
Iurday Afternoon. Ross failed in his
try at the goal.
1t was the first game or the season
for both teams and the work of neith-
er was anything wonderful. As indi-
yiduals the Marion team showed up
strong. On the defense they tore holes
In their opponents line and blocked
plays with great regularity, but on
the offensive they could do but little,
Kenton never had a chance to score
and Marion took advantage OF its
only real opportunity.
There is good material in the local
squad and a fast team will be de-
veloped before the season is much
further advanced, The team will
play Gallon next Saturday,
The Marion warriors lined up as
follows: Knapp, center; Campbell and
Smith, guards; Gillette and Dilley,
tackles; Fields and Howser \ ends;
Ross, quarter; Mouser and Grills,

eve certainly appreciate what Ma
rion did to Newark" was the word
ling of q telegram received by Man
ager Bobby Quinn from Manager Sam
Wright, of Youngstown, at the con-
clusion Of the Newark series here.
BY defeating Sharon Saturday
Youngstown cinched the pennant over
Newark by small margin and Akron
Twas relegated to third place. 1t is
1.-The fourth time that Youngstown has
captured the rag and 1t Is safe TO say
that one Marty Hogan sincerely re-
grets the fact that Youngstown came
lout ahead under another manager.
Hogan lost what few friends he had
lin Youngstown by sending his
GAINESVILLE players over the league
to help beat Youngstown and Akron
out
Down at Newark there is much dis
appointment over the showing OF the
team during the last few days of the
season, especially in the series here
at Marion Marion won two and
Newark won two while Berryhill had
: been figuring on cinching the pennant
lby grabbing all of the games, But
Bob, turn about is fair play. One

was fighting hard to land the club in

place. Revenge is sweet and every7
body is happy.
I Over atN Akron the fans and man
Iagement are very much dissatisfied
with Easts management of the club
as they believe he should have won
the pennant. It is claimed that Wal
ter will not be at the head of the club
next season and that Ferd Drumm,
the ex-manager of the Lime Burners
will go to Akron.
Most of the second division clubs
lost money on the season which
brought so much bad weather but
every club is able to stand the loss
and will be back in the race strong
er than ever. Neither Akron nor
youngstown VIII get In any bigger
league than they are in at present
land it is safe to say that there will
be no changes in the league for the
next season. At least not more than
lone club will drop out and II this
occurs a larger city will be added
The race this year was as pretty as
could be desired. The league devel-

They are out to win all the time
and are pulling off something all
the time. 1t isn't the manager,
its the players. "
In spite of that any fan in
Youngstown will declare that
jWrighu's executiyS ability, his
knowledge of ball players and his
ability TO get the best out of his
men in no small way contributed
to Youngstown s success.
When the Youngstown team re-
turned home from Sharon Saturday
night, after having won the penant,
there was the biggest sporting de-
monsuation the Steel City has ever
seen. Lew D0ckstader's band was
at the station to meet the team
and big parade followed.
In commenting upon the o. and
p. race, due credit should be Civ
en- Akron and Newark. The latter
club in particular has worked ex-
ceedingly hard all season, and un-
I'll two weeks ago looked like "a
sure winner. Akron and Newark
both made big efforts to win, inn
ported players from other leagues,
and did everything to get all
the games in sight. Some of the o.
and p. managers claimed This
leading up" was unspol'tsmanlike
and contrary to the rules Of or
eanizcd ball, but President Morton
ruled it was legal from a base
ball standpoint, and if that be true
Akron and Newark were justified
in their course.
The fight was a great one, anyway
and there is no disgrace in losing
Great credit is due the losers. The
clcscnesS Of the race increased busi-
moss beyond stage ever hoped for
by o, and p magnates and the
Ie2guc has enjoyed n most prosper

CHAMPS WIN
THE PENNANT
Newark Finishes Second,
Akron Third.
GREAT BASEBALL BATTLE
Of the D. & P. League End
ed Saturday.
The Fight One of the Most Interest
ing and Hard Fought Ever Wit
messed in Baseball Circles.

-Four pennants have been won by
the Youngstown club Of the ONO
and Pennsylvanla league. The fourth
was cinched Saturday when the
Champs defeated Sharon. Newark
gets second and Akron third.
The fight in the o. and p. was
the greatest battle III baseball this
season. Not ouly was the winner IN
doubt until after yesterday game
had been decided, but three teams
stood to win the peunant, all de-
pending upon Yesterdays contests.
Youngstown had to win to stay
in the race and the Champs went
out and batted in enough runs TO
ciurh the rag. Akron lost one TO
Newcastle and tied the second, put
ting East $ team out of the race
for either first. or second place.
Considerable credit is due Goungs-
town for the showing made. Last
spring when Marty Hogan, former
manager, left Youngstown to take
up the management Of the Ianes-
Vile club in the p. o. NJ. league
he forgot to leave even list of
reserved players.
Then Sam Wright, city editor of
the Youngstown Vindicator, was
elected manager aud had to ascer-
tain from newspaper men and ball
players the addresses Of his reserved
men. Hogan had signed several
stars, including Blount, Billy Thom-
as, Ostlick. Charles Starr and Duck
Breen. Around this nucleus Wright
built up team that has been in
, the Gght all the way.
He was unfortunate in meas
ure flym the beginning Of the
season. Several of his best pitchers
went to the bad through illness and
lack of condition, but the Champs
kept peggiug away all the time,
even when the star men were down
and out.
Just after the team got on its feet
and started to show lis true fcim
Jack McAleese, first baseman, q
hard hitter and the best base run
ner in the league, broke his collar
bone aud was out Of the game
for two months. Wright landed
Servatius from Columbus and Bill
Glassbuper, who was released from
the p. o. Nj. league, and Youngs-
town started out to regain the
ground last.
The finish was the best ever.
While Akron and Newark loaded
up with players from other leagues
Youngstown continued with the
same old crowd and by good, heady
playing managed 10 win out at the
end. Considering his bad start and
the fact that it was his first year
as manager, Sam Wright made a
wonderful showing. However,
Wright takes no credit upon him
self. When asked, recently how IL
was that the Champs were up at
the top fighting for everything in
sight, he said:
