WARREN BENEDICTS
BLAME POOR BISBEE

The Warren members of the Bene-
dict Baseball team which went to de-
feat last Saturday are not satisfied
and are talking of forming a team for
themselves and restricting the mem
bership to Warren players. A War
rem married man yesterday attributed
the defeat they had received at the
hats Of the Singletons, to the poor
work done by the Bisbee members of
the Benedict team.
why, we can get up team of mar
ried men at Warren" said he, which
can wax the Bissee married men two
to one and then take on the Bachelor
team and wallop their twisters all
over the lot. There is talk of our
forming such team and we will do
so if Bisbee, either Bachelors or Benz
diets can be depended on to play as.
The trouble on Saturday was that the
Bisbee members Of the team were
muscle bound or had charlie Horse as
a result of climbing hills so steadily
while we Warrenites were fast and
keen"
Thus Warren puts it up to Bisbee
and there may be a baseball war be-
tween the camp and its suburbs over
the lines laid out by the dissatisfied
Warrenite who was voicing the senti-
ments of fellow team members. q

CELEBRATE BIRTHDAY

The Warren District country club
has decided 10 celebrate the anniver-
sary of the opening of its club house,
which occurred one year ago on Labor
day, in an informal manner. The
celebration viii be an enjoyable one
but the affair will not be so elaborate
as was at first thought, since it was
found impossible to bring representa-
tives of Douglas and FL Paso to War
rem for the occasion, these two clubs
h v:ng arranged to do battle for tie
Southwestern championship on the
FL Paso golf links at the very time
Warren had decided to celebrate.
The arrangements OF those clubs had
been perfected too far in advLnce to
permit any change and so Bisbee and
Warren must content themselves. with
out guests from the sister country
clubs.
There has been some misunderstand-
ing in some sources, apparently, as 10
the anniversary dance, some thinking
there was to be a dance on Saturday
night and ball on Monday night.
Such is not the case. There is to
De but one dance and that is set for
Monday night. 1t viii be an informal
dance for members and invited guests
but will be more enjoyable than a .or-
