SAINTS AFTER
MAURER SCALP
Battle Sunday Afternoon Will
be for Blood.

Arrangements have been perfected
for the game between the St. An
thongs and the Maurer A. c. sched-
uled for Sunday afternoon on the
American Smelling & Refining Com
pany's grounds. The management
of both teams seems to think that
this game should be one of the best
drawing cards of the season mas
much as both teams are about evenly
matched.
That the game will be a fight until
the finish Is an assured fact based
upon the ability of the players and
the amount of money that their
friends are placing on their favorttes.
At the present writing the odds are
in favor of the Saints" bets being
given at 5 to 8. Lots of money back
ing the Saints" Is enroute and the
Maurer A. c. has a host Of friends
who are backing them to the limit.
The fact that Scibenski, who at
one time was the mainstay of the
Saints" is this year appearing for
the Maurers and the Saints are at a
disadvantage, but William Maloney
says that that difficulty has been
overcome and the Saints will be
o. K. with either Clemensen, Flynn
or another one of their pitchers on
the slab.

CRAWFORD IN GREAT SHAPE.
"Wahoo Sam" Playing a Wonderful
Game For the Tigers.

When the last season drew to a
close It was the general opinion that
Sam Crawford, the Detroit American
heavy hitting outfielder, was on the
down grade and that this would prob
ably be his last season In a major
league. Today Crawford is leading
the American league batters with an
average considerably over 400, and
he is playing a better game Of ball
than he ever has played before in his
long career.
There is no doubt that a player of
Crawford's disposition would be af-
fected by any misunderstanding he
might have with a teammate, and his
quarrel with Cobb undoubtedly threat
ened to end his days of usefulness to
the Detroit club. But the difference
between this wonderful pair of hit
ters has been smoothed over, with the
result that Crawford and Cobb are
playing great ball these days and are
really responsible for the brilliant
showing the Tigers have made to date.

Karions and Knights OF
Columbus Will Clash.

Plans for the big game at Amuse-
ment Park carded for Sunday after
noon between the Marions and the
team of San Salvador Council No.
299, knights of Columbus, have been
completed. The Marions have been
practicing hard for this tussle and
they expect to be in top notch form.
But the slogan of the day is Can
Dick Calvin come back" and coach
a winning team. Some are inclined
to-believe he can't, but when the
knights step on the field Sunday
afternoon with the genial Dick" at
their lead, there will be class. Dick
is some sport and my, how he has
drilled those boys. Tommy Lyons,
who at one time was the best fielder
of the celebrated Marion nine, will
appear on the knights a and he
has also succeeded in showing the
boys a few stunts. One of the larg-
est crowds ever known at the Park
is expected to be on hand to witness
the struggle.

failure to win more games with

has to support the pitchers.
Hughey the observant says:
Cleveland doesn't know how
10 score runs when it gets the
chance. 1t wastes opportunities,
and its attack, for all its big cali
Der guns, is seldom concentrated

About the sl0,000 Loan From Water Department LET THE CHARTER REST
Newspaper Criticism of City Based on Lack of Percep- tion-Year's Budget Not Made Up-Revenues Will Suffice.

"There is nothing in our contract with the New State Electric company which justifies the statement that each standard is to cost s204, or. any other sum. for no estimate has been made of the exact cost of installing the new lighting system. The company has not agreed to do the work for s20,O00, as has been intimated by some parties who have evidently not taken the trouble to inform themselves of the nature of the contract we awarded. but it has agreed to install the lights and turn them over to the city in working order for an amount not to exceed that sum"
 The above statement was made by Mayor Christy last night to a reporter of The Republican, after the publi- cation of an article by an afternoon pa per which intirnated that the approx innate cost of the new lighting system is to be s2O.Oeo.
 Under the provisions of the contract awarded to the New State Electric company the city of Phoenix will have all materials, including standards. con- duits. tools and electric fixtures, fur nished at invoice cost. That the total cost to the city will not be less than SIG, 900 is generally admitted, and the council agreed to advance that sum to the contractor within ten davs after the date of the contract. That it will be less than s20,000 was also admitted both by the contractor and the council, but the protective clause which makes it obligatory for the New State Electric company to furnish materials at cost, and keep its books open at all times to the inspection of the city electrician, or any other representative appointed by the council. insures the city of Phoenix that no matter what the figures of the final cost are found to be, the stand ards will be installed at a minimum expense.
 Members of the city council charac- terized as absurd the attempt to pub | fish any statement of the cost the lights will be to the city, as at this time nothing but the most indefinite Approximate estimate is possible, since the contract expressly stpulates that the work will be done for sum not
 to exceed s2O,OO0. and the city council
 in advancing s1O.Oo0 admits that it Is
 not expected to cost less. Between the amount advanced by the council and
 the maximum estimate of the New
 State Electric company is latitude of s1O. 900, and it is not possible to know at this time how much of the addition al slO.O0O will have to be expended to lcomplete the contract.
 "There is enc mistake that l beliee
 is being subscribed to by a number oi people who don't know as much about
 the letting of this contract as they might" said Mayor Christy, "and that | is that the s2O.00O maximum was not
 suggested by the light company. Wher

 State Electric company agreed to put
