MESA
MESA BASEBALL FANS
 WITNESSED FAST GAME
Al Least It IS So Described Thouob They Oidr't Seem to Get
 Anywhere.

Mesa-at least her people--held it's breath on the afternoon of Thanks giving day when game was called at the Mesa high school grounds for the championship game of baseball be- tween the proprietors and employees of the Lcsueur double stores and the gro- cery establishment of the X. X E. Co and those of the Q. $. Stapley co. The Lesueur people had it in mind that they could just about wipe the earth with anything in the way of a bail team that could be dug up among the men who sell goods and tie up pack ages in town. and this was the occas- ion they proposed to do it.
 When game was called. the Lesueur's lined up as follows: L. Grincr. 2ni base; J. Elmer Johnson. 3rd base: Sreeve Peterson. short stop: J. w. Le- sueur. right field; Leo Leseuer. cen ter field; Ray Lesueur. left field.
 The opposing team was composed of C. Duffy. pitcher; O. $. Stapley. catch e.. Edgar Hunsaker. first base: J. Bras tus LeBaron; 2nd base; C. Fred Brack- ett. 3rd base; Joe Maier. shortstop; Floyd Griner. right field; Don M Le- Baron. center field: J. J. Armstrong. left field
 The fray can best be described as Ia bloody one, figuratively speaking of course. for the only blood spilled Was from a skinned knuckle or two and a few scratches on the anatomy when the heavy weights attempted to slide home Both sides attempted to make it a record game. and almost accom- .plished their purpose It is said on good authority that a game was once played in Mesa where the score stood 119 to 104, but this game occupied three days and was at the time when the Fourth of July occupied period Of three days and nights and the game was delayed several times while some Tor the players went to their ranches to take their water turn. The teams on Thanksgiving day hardly expected to beat that record, but they dhl hope to eclipse the next best. that of 1S-. when the score stood g to g. That they did not succeed is probably due to the fact that the umpire declared the game off at the end of the ninth inning.
 While the team with which Mir Pickens was defeated it is no fault of his. When he went to bat he hit the ball a swipe that brought three men on bases home and made the only home run of the game. It can be easily seen that had he had support of his own calibre the opposing team would have gone to dismal defeat, and woul, have had to pay for the oyster sup per. He is hardly satisfied with tn , result and hopes to see another game arranged: with his present practice he believes that if they will let him do all the batting and running, there isn't in the county that can beat his team.

RESULTS OF GAMES
 THANKSGIVING DAY
Mesa and Tempe Broke Even-Con- victs Win From Mexican Team.

There was good deal going on here Thanksgiving day in the way of ath- lotics. At the high school grounds the normal and high school teams played basketball and on the new base ball grounds near the depot, the pris- onerS and the local Mexican team played baseball.
 In the basketball games. the honors were pretty evenly divided the high school girls winning from the normal girls and the normal boys winning from the high school boys. Both games were good ones and were watched by a large crowd. The boys score was 22 to II in favor of the normal. and the girls score was r. to 15 in favor of the high school. Today the high school plays the Indian school at Phoenix and the normal plays the Mesa high school here.
 At the baseball game the prisoners 30 to 10. The game was better one really than the score might indicate The grounds are now and rather crowded anyway. and large scores on both sides are to be expected. X week ago tomorrow the same teams played seven inning game when time was called on account of darkness. At that time the MeXicans were ahead. The two innings of that game will be played off tomorrow and probably an other game

LIBRARY MEETING.

A couple of weeks since a meeting of the Mesa Library association was held and set of officers and board of directors were elected, but some of the parties chosen refused 10 Qual- ify on the ground that they did not Lave the time to give the matter proper attention. and another meeting was held Wednesday afternoon. All vacancies in the board were satisiac- tnrily filled and a complete set of of ficers installed. Mrs. Emaiinc Kim ball. who served so successfully dur ing the past year. was again placed at the head of the association. with the following assistants:
 Vice president. Mrs. Geo. A. John son.
 Second vice-president. Mrs. J. T. Lcsucur.
 Secretary. Mrs. Vivian & Irwin.
 Treasurer. Mrs. $. w. Gage.
 Remaining directors. Mrs. Bert Win gar. Mrs Floyd Griner, Mrs. J. A Rydburg. Mrs. l.. E. Irwin.
 It is the intention of the newly elected officers to place the library affairs on a business basis. and un der more system than has been the case in q portion of the time past.
 The library and free reading rooms are patronized by very many of the Mesa people, and it requires money to buy books and pay librarian. Hence, the ladies will ask all of the people to become members by paying small annual membership fee. thus providing at least a portion of the needed funds.
 Frank Vance, manager of the Prin- cess theater. has agreed to donate the proceeds of the show next Monday night. to the library fund. and it is hoped that the theater will be packed on that night. A similar donation will be made by MT. Menhennet of the Coliseum, at later date. The ladies appreciate this favor and hope to have no trouble from now on in getting funds for the successful con duct of this very important adjunct to the community.

Looks Like Business.

An entirely unprecedented thing &C.
Cured in Washington during the week
following the converting of the present
session of Congress on December 4. al
though the country may not have been
too busy to have noticed it.
The Democratic House met on every
one of the six days following the open
ing day, remaining in session through
out each day, every moment consumed
in real work, until it was time to light
the lamps.
This policy is in contrast TO the Re-
publican custom of meeting or opening
day, and, after remaining in session a
few moments, adjourning to the second
day thereafter and upon converting
the second day thereafter; of adjourn
ing to the second day after that and so
on until two full weeks had been vast
ed, when adjournment would be taken
for the holidays. In the meantime of
course the Congressman pay of $40. SO
per day, Sl56 per week and 1925 per
month would go merrily on the people
paying the bill. The new policy simp-
ly means this, that the Democrats
mean business.

Not a "Do Nothing" Session

"If anybody thinks this is going to
be do nothing Congress they are
badly mistaken" was the answer
made by Champ Clark to the propo-
sition that the Democrats proposed to
devote the present session to efforts to
put the Republicans in hole" so as
to strengthen their own position for
next year.
THE Democratic party made the
definite promise to give the people re-
lief from conditions which have come
to be regarded as intolers ble," the
Speaker continued. 1.-The best way
for US to play politics is to carry to a
conclusion, insofar as We are able, the
excellent record We have already
made. The people are looking to us
for accomplishment rather than for
strategy, and we need have no fear of
the future if we go along with our
program as we have started.
Mr.. Clark has been telling his CO.
workers in the house that if the party
goes to dilly-dallying around, trying to
put the president and. the standpat'ers
and The insurgents in a deep, dark
hole, the result will be more disastrous
to the hole diggers than to those whom
they might intend to engulf therein.
Mr. Clark. in other words. realizes
that the present is his party's oppCr-
tunity, and that the best way to take
advantage of it is through action. rath.
er than with attempts to shift the
blame to the other fellow.

Why Teddy Was Doomed.

The Roosevelt denomination talk,
which was more pronounced during the
recent meeting of the Republican
national committee than at any time
since the former presidents return
from Africa, has died down again.
And now comes the report that this
talk was started by the old guard
leaders among the committeeman for
the purpose of frightening Mr.. Taft
into allowing them to have control of
the preliminaries of the next Republi-
can convention in Chicago. This con-
troll means a big advantage to those
who possess it, for with it goes the
authority to dictate seating arrange
ments. admissions. distribution of
patronage and committee assignments !;
in short it means control of the con-
vention right up to the time of ballot
ing.
The Roosevelt talk, according to the
best information, did not spring from
friends of the former president, but
from his enemies. The ..plan was, by
starting this talk to discomfort and d.
vide the insurgents. Then. with MIR.
Taft deserted by all except the south
ern postmaster delegates, a deadlock
could be forced, which could be broken
at the proper time in favor of COM
promise candidate acceptable to the
old guard leaders.
AS a result of these Vaccinations it
has been stated, apparently with some
show of authority that MIR. Taft is so
oisgusted with conditions within his
party. that he may withdraw from the
race entirely.
