The trade territory OF a town is
not all dependent upon the distance
to neighboring trading points. The
trade territory depends upon the en-
terprise of the merchants and the
residents of the town. If town
does not reach after the trade it will
come only as fast as it has to, and
it will grow as it is forced to. But if
the merchants go after business in
the surrounding country, advertis-
ing in every possible way, and max
ing good every word of their adver-
Using radius, the town will gain
for being awake and it will
force to the front. 1t is the men in
the town and not altogether the men
living within a certain number of
miles from it that makes the town.

GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP.

The start of the tournament for the
golf championship of the Country club
was made on the LEGAL links yester-
day and about two dozen players
turned in cards, the Cananea excur-

this was not unexpected, as it had

the first round to Ge played at any
time during this week up to Friday.
Thus there will be a number of other

NOBODY CAN WIN
AGAINST CANANEA
Champions of East Would
Lose at Baseball Down
in Sonora Camp.

"Its the same old story, it's the
same old song" No matter how
strong the visiting team may be il

anea team on their grounds in the
Mexican camp. It has been maintain
ed that the Cubs" the "Sox," the

ed there. 1t was, therefore, only the
expected which happened during the
visit of the Douglas team ON Saturday
and yesterday. No, not quite the ex-
pected, for the Douglas team did man
age TO pull one victory out of the fire.
The conditions at Cananea are such
as to put any visiting team to the
bad, the fielders al face to the west
and in the afternoon this handicaps
the visitors much, the home players
becoming accustomed to 1t. The in
field slopes sharply outward, there
being a drop of at least a foot be
tween the plate and pitchers box and
this Is a handicap to infielders and
pitcher. In his game yesterday at
ternOon, Kuepper found it impossible
to meet this foot rise and to make the
ball break where he wanted It to, so
he had 10 depend largely on a straight
ball, time after time getting three baQ
ones on him and then putting them
straight across the slab. He did not
walk players. but they found him
SEINE and he received a support which
would diShearten a machine In two
innings the errors CT the center field
er alone let in five rms and at times
even Swain and Raymond made err
rors, while Wolfe surprised every
body by missing pop up foul.
Saturdays game vent to Cananea
by score of six 20 one with Wilder
and Wolfe for the battery in a game
which Douglas did not get even
look in.
Sunday morning brought encourage
lCnt for the visitors. Wolfe officiat-
ed and Edmunds received and the
"catcher-pitcher" did well. Raymond,
however, deserves the honor of hay-
ing won the game for, with the bases
full and two out, he dashed out a mag
nificent home run hit, clearing the
bases and scoring half of the runs of
the game The score in this game was
to 5 instead of to 6. as announced
on the bulletin boards. This victory
made the visitors "cocky" and anxious
to bet and "bluffed" the Cananeans
some, for it was not easy to find TAX
ers TO Douglas money, and a pity tbs
that such takers were found in the
end. In the final same, as stated
above, pretty much every player WAS
of, they could not get their hands on
flies in the outfield which would or
dinarily be easy, the infielders had
chances dodge them. now to one
side, now to another. and again bound
ing over head as the ball struck a
stone or irregularity on its down hill
course. So one out of three at Can
anea Is not so bad and the total for
the season Is four to two for Douglas.
AS to the excursion It was a sue
cess in every way over a hundred peo-
pie making the trip, taking in the
games and looking over the camp
The last game ended at O'Clock
so that there was an hour for supper
before the train left and the trip home
was short. the train reaching Douglas
at $50.
