TWO FINE ARTlcLes-Thcre came

TWO FINE AK TlClES-ThCre came
TO Phoenix yesterday two different
publications which carried specially
prepared and illustrated articles by
Col J. H. McClintock. One was Sub
urban Life, a monthly magazine pub
LEGATION similar in appearance and size
to the Ladies' Home Journal, published
in Harrisburg and New York. The ar
ticle in this journal is on the ostrich
industry. 1t covers two pages, pictures
and text. and the illustrations are fine.
while the text is rather out of the or
binary treatment of the subject, deal
ing much with the peculiarities OF the
bird and his story, as wen as the grow
ing of the ostrich in America. The
other journal is the Los Angeles Min
ing Review. it being a special edition
devoted to the great southwest. Col
McClintock's article is the opening con-
tribution, and covers three pages, in
Guiding some very excellent cuts.
HUGHIE HUGHES, BRONCO
BuSTER-Hughie Hughes has not
been spending the past few weeks in
Phoenix just for fun, but has all the
time being adding to his professional
fame as a rough rider. OF course. there
was little he could do here to add to
his automobile driving reputation as
there were no big races on, but in
bronco riding he has found a field of
activity worthy his strenuous tastes.
Some weeks ago he was coaxed on
Mesa City mustang that dragged his
trousers and his finer sensibilties in
the dust, and which only served to
make him all the keener to ride a
bronco 10 a record. A few days ago
he was introduced to a ginger colored
cayuse at the Metropolitan stables and
sized him up as easy money. The
stableman put a double cinch on the
beast. put Hughie in the saddle and
tickled the animals flank with straw.
Were off, said Hughie as he grab
bed the leather. and never spoke more
truly in his life, for he was not only
off. but several feet up in the air.
When he revived sufficiently, he in
auired whether ii was the steering gear
that gave way or whether wheel
came off He said there was certainly
nothing wrong with the batteries. for
he never had such a shock in his life.
doun't see 'ow twas DONE" said
Hughie, IAN blime ME, If / believe he
can do it agine." And he couldn't. but
he came mighty near 1t and probably
would if he hadn't been all tired out.
After he had once found the secret of
how to grip the wheel at the right time
and got little accustomed to the mo-
ton of the mustang. he could take a
corner like a professional and start
from scratch on the high-speed gear,
or hurdle the high places with the
throttle open. He rode the bronco all
afternoon. and the next afternoon. and
all the week, finally getting the brute
so he would eat out Of his hand.

BOTH Confident
Miller and Treeter Have Equal
Chances to Win Wrestling Match
Next Tuesday Night.

Harry Treeter 150-pound champion
wrestler of New
York state, who meets Max Miller,
150-pound champion Of the northwest,
at the opera house next Tuesday night
in wrestling match TO finish, has
written that he is in the best of ocn-
dition and promises to show Miller up.
Miller is as confident as Treeter, and
therefore the wrestling fans are as
sured of one of the cleverest bouts
ever witnessed here. Treeter says he
has two dates between now and the
date here. and declares that he is sure
10 win them both. One of these
matches is to take place at Akron, o.,
and from there Treeter comes to
Cairo.
Billy Evans manager of Kentucky
lin (HulD, has his man going
through a course of training at his
private quarters and is confident that
Ray thinner will be given one of the
hardest goes of his career when these
two men meet in a siX-round sparrlng
contest as the semifinal bout on next
tuesdays program. thinner is in
raining also, and there are many fans
Cairo who are ready to take sides
With thinner. Indications are that the
attendance will be good and the en-
husiasm is picking up every day.
Negotiations are said to be under
way for an additional sparring match
but the names of the men have not
been given out, as it is doubtful as tC
whether the match can be made for
lext Tuesday night. The battle royal

remained to keep on. and it took the
fall of the stand TO break the tie the
excitement seemed TO get on the Grays'
nerves. The Blues waded into their
rivals for five runs ard easily BANKED
them in their half of the interrupted
thirteenth inning-a mighty lucky
number this time for the lives of the
spectators as well as for the Blues

Patsy Dugan Is smart boy. Yet the
smartest thing OF all was his reward
Did he come back and accept the po-
sition OF assistant manager Of the pea
nut concession? Not a bit Of 1t. Patsy
had a great ambition in view. When
the colonel asked Patsy how he could
reward him Patsy thought of the idea
which he had long cherished as a beau
tffuI dream when he used to watch the
boys looking through the knot holes
outside the ball ground fence.
And il was then that he summoned up
his courage and told the colonel his
plan Colonel Glennon laughed and
shook his head at first. but as the
originality of the boys conception
dawned upon him he laughed even
louder and told him to go ahead and
build it.

splendid game to see. Not only that,
the league race was so close this game

the Blues were tied for first place and
the winner would obtain the lead
One of the largest Saturday crowds of
the season was present, making a ter
rible din with it's frenzied roofing"
for the home team. The rival pitchers
were invincible for eight innings of
goose eggs that looked round and in
nocent enough as hung up on the score
board, but represented more hair rails
ing sensational plays and stops than
would be contained in half dozen or
binary games.
But the Blues "got to" the Grays'
''slab artist in their half of the ninth.
A clean double followed by a beautiful
sacrifice advanced a runner to third
base. Then a long fly TO the outfield
brought the runner home while the
crowd went wild. The next batter was
out at first. Score 1 to in favor of
the Blues
The Grays then came to bat Their
first man was famed on the first three
balls pitched the second man fouled
out, and the last man brought sorrow
and anguish TO the watching thou
sands.
with two strikes on him he tied the
score with a home run.
More goose eggs followed. Ten, II,
II innings developed no change in the
/ to l score The beginning of the
thirteenth inning saw the afternoon
drawing to a close and the shadows
growing deeper and deeper. Soon
darkness would stop the game. which
apprehension seemed to drive the
crowd frantic. Each play was strenu-
ously applauded in an effort to root
the Beverly Blues to victory. The
.'bleachers groaned and trembled un
der the stamping feet.
From where Patsy stood on the bluff
he could see the rear of the right field
stand. He noticed it shook a good
deal. and then he noticed a big crack
in the uprights.
Patsy did not stop to deliberate an
