For the Sixth Annual Regatta
at Philadelphia
CORNELL ASKED TO ENTER
New York, Baltimore, Brooklyn, Bos-
ton and Washington to be Rerpre-
senter st Johns Military Aca-
denny to Enter.

NEW YORK, May Although
there are now eleven district college
crews entered for the sixth annual
regatta of the American Rowing AS
sociation at Philadelphia on May p
number which breaks all previous
collegiate records, the boards OF
stewards is making special effort to
increase this by securing the entry OF
Cornell.
The crews of which. the stewards
are sure are Harvard two, Yale two,
University of Pennsylvania four, Co.
lumbia one, Georgetown one, and
New York University one.
! There is only one drawback to the
entry Of Cornell Cornell is promot
ing regatta Of her own at Ithaca,
one Of the features of which is to be
dual race between the junior eights
of Cornell and Pennsylvania, but the
stewards think that if Pennsylvania
can enter a crew in the American
Rowing Association Regatta and then
send an eight to Ithaca a week later
Cornell can do likewise. The stewards
have been virtually assured that they
will receive entry of the St, Johns
Military Academy eight of Delaheld,
Wisconsin, for the inter-scholastic
race. The entry of this crew will
make six school crews in the race,
twice as many as ever before entered,
The stewards have not been able to
make out list of the club entries,
because these crews always get a
later start than the college men,
There Is no doubt, however, that New
York, Baltimore, Brooklyn, Washing
ton and Boston viii have good rep
Iresentation.

A New Section Board for Local TeIe.
phone Company.

E ). Lehman, manager of the
local section of the Consolidated
Telephone company, informed an
ERA representative this week that a
new section board of 100 phones
would be added to the Clifton central
in the near future. At present the
company has section of 135 phones
and the demand is so great that it is
necessary to make the addition.
Manager Lehman also stated that
the company was considering a re-
duction in the price of residence
service, which at present is So per
month. A reduction to s.. so would
mean that a number of the private
families in Clifton would patronize
the company. 1t is a matter that
should receive attention from the
of the company and if they
place the price at a more reasonable
figure it will only be short time I'M
til at least 500 phones will be in
service

eral of their best players, but hardly
enough of them to Justly the above
one-sided score. The Clifton bows
simply had their batting eve with
them and landed continuously on the
ball.
Inere are various opinions as the
result of Sundays game, some hold
ing that the Eagles simply threw the
game and others holding that the
clifton boys threw the first game.
j. W. Lancaster, the big Earle of
the local flock, could not perform
Sunday and advised his team that
several of the players were in no
condition to plav, but they played
anyway with most fatal result.
The Eagles simply gave up at the
close OF the game, but it is reported
that Kelly died game, and has de-
clared himself for the next game.
1t was anticipated to pull off the
game next Sunday, but this arrange
ment has been called off on account
Of certain reasons. %.

The Cricket Practice

Quite a large crowd of cricket play
ers participated in a practice game
Sunday afternoon. The reporte,
rubbered an hour or longer and noted
vast Improvement in the PLAYERS
Tommy Inglis is beyond doubt the
fastest fielder in this section and he
seems to have the habit of being at
the right place at the right time. He
coppered several line drives SUNDAY
that professional would hesitate to
tackle.
John Sirrat is there with the goods
when it comes to a backstop and his
batting average stands high. Among
the other professional players who
limbered themselves were AT Thorn
son, Norman Carmichael,J. G. Cooper.
George Fraser, Burt Moore and many
others. Drs. Dietrich and Smith
mustered courage to face the deadly
missiles hurled by Bowler Forest, and
in their efforts to lose the ball thew
were easy victims and lost their
wickets in quick rapidity. They are
now better acquainted with the fine
points of the game and the next time
they perform there will be different
story.
The practice was exceedingly in
teresting and the game is becoming
more popular, and the result will be
that Clifton will soon have a first |
class team A match should be made |
With Morenci, as outside games will |
further local interest.

As has been remarked several times
before Clifton should have an athletic
association before beneficial results
can be obtained in either the cricket
or base ball lines. Excellent ma
terial for both games is obtainable
locally. There should be some head
to the sport In order to make a sue
cess. Grounds should be laid out and
improved as soon as possible as the
time is short until the opening of the
season. This proposition has been
advocated by leading citizens for
for some time and all that is required
is the first move.

residents of Clifton, who made his
stake and moved to California to
live, visited Clifton this week to
shake hands with old friends and see
how Clifton was getting along. He
is on his way home from the east.
where it was his pleasure to meet an
old time Clifton friend, Emil Schu-
mann, who was formerly superintend-
ent of the A. & N. NJ. railway. Mr..
Kreckel was greatly surprised at the
many new improvements in the camp
and is of the opinion that Clifton is
one of the liveliest places he has
visited recently. He was employed
in the carpenter department of the
A. G. company when he resided here
and spent about fifteen years of his
life In the Clifton-Morenci district.
He informed the ERA reporter that
Mr.. Schumann contemplates a visit !
to Clifton in the near future.

Clifton and surrounding county
was blessed this week with bountiful
rains. Both the Frisco river and
Chase creek were swelled sufficiently
to flush out all filth and incidentally
did the town many dollars worth of
good. The rains were general and
the farmers and cattlemen have been
greatly benefited. AS there is prac-
tically no snow in the lower noun
tains tributary to the Frisco river,
there is no likelihood of floods, hence
the people in general have every
reason to feel encouraged, over the
prospect of the present year.

A report was brought to Douglas
of fight with Yaqui Indians, which
took place about fifteen kilometers
below the international boundary
line on the road to Nacozari, in which
one american, a carpenter, was
wounded, and two others only saved
themselves by fight. The fight took
place a short distance from the rail-
road, about fifteen kilometers south
of Douglas. A band of the Indians
overlook an American carpenter and
two Mexican wood choppers. They
opened fire, wounding the American
in the leg, and put the two MexIcans
to flight, after which they disap-

Theo. Shirley, probate Judge of
Graham county, visited Clifton a few
days last week to call on his friends
and incidentally transact some BUSH
ness. The judge is enjoying the best
OF health and the valley seems to
agree with him. 1t will be remem-
bered that about two years ago he
met with an accident at the Metcalf
mines that came near ending his
career, but he has now entirely re-
covered and gets around as well as
his younger friends. He made few
days visit to'his old home at Metcalf,
and passed through Clifton Monday
en- route to Solomonville.
