Fifth avenue, the outside portico of the Holland

Club at East 39th street. Many stoops OF houses
will be taken down.
The plan now nearing realization is TO make the
driveway OF the avenue ffty-six feet wide. with
sidewalks each twenty-five feet wide. When the
avenue was laid at the beginning OF the last
century. the city fathers provided for a driveway
forty feet wide with sidewalks thirty feet VIDE on

meant yards with grass plots, thus forming an

NINE INNING GAME
 SLATED FOR SUNDAY
List of Prizes Being Made Up and Pennant Money Assured.

Interest in the City League series waxes warmer. At present the Frater- nais have the best of the argument, having won two games. the Maroons and Orphans both being defeated. The Fraternals stand 1000 per cent 10 the good but next Sunday one of the other hines hopes to be in shape to break their winning streak and get them on the hip. The Orphans will probably be put in again as they are anxious for the chance. The nine will appear here after in white suits and will possibly adopt a new name. Yesterday after noon the Orphans went out to Eastlake park and held batting and fielding practice. Hull is limbering up his wing from the last contest. The next game will be full nine innings as nothing less will settle the dispute
 The executive committee spent good half hour yesterday afternoon among the fans in the effort to raise the promised purse which will be hung up for the pennant and the individual prizes. The league managers put up $50 and passing down the street the big end of $100 was found lying round loose. The committee held up Ben Butler, George Driscoll. Will Wallace, H. H. McNeil. N. Porter saddle and Harness company and others and re- ceived assurances from Williams and Haffner and several other fans that they would be with the boys. If the City League does not play out its schedule with three hines no one gets the pennant money and it will not be called for till the end of the season.
 A. w. Galpin offers a fine bat to the best batter on each of the three teams. Selim Nicholson offers a box Of good cigars to the pitcher striking out the most men. Miller Sterling company give prize to be decided on later for the player having to his credit the most stolen bases. A clothing firm and one shoe firm have promised prizes for stunts which may be chosen out of the following: Pitcher allowing the fewest hits in the series. player making most runs, player best fielding average based on number of chances, etc. This list will be completed in a few days and will be published. Buck Ludwig and the secretary wifi both keep tabulated scores and check up at the end of the month.
 It is likely that a game will be ar ranged later between the leading team in the City League here and the win

 l want to respectfully and earnestly put this question to the business men of Phoenix. For it was stated in ar editorial in this paper at the beginning of the campaign. that the business men while admitting that the business was bad. did not believe it to be the best that we should have prohibition at this time.
 Now if the above allegations against the saloon business are true. then we ought to put them out at once. and, forever. But if not true. We ought to with draw all opposition. apoligize for the many hard things we have said about them. and help them. in every way possible.
 Oh. men, cant you see that there is no half way ground,
 The spirit of this movement is from God, and was declared by Christ when asked, Master which is the great commandment in the lawP' Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all they heart. and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind % And the second is like unto il.

 If the business men of Phoenix would come out plainly and say we believe that prohibition is best for the finan- cial as well as the moral interests of Phoenix, and most of them believe that I know-It would have more influence with the votes than all the arguments that have been published, and prohibi- tion would carry hands down. even though We are handicapped by having to get two votes to the saioon's one.
