WANTS INTERVEAOR
 IN PHOENIX SUIT
s, s. Scull Unwilling to Rest His Case on Earthly Sense
 of Justice

The case Of the Phoenix Y. N. C. 4. against one $. $. Scull. in which the association attempts to collect a subscription Of Sl00. alleged to have been shscribed by Scull toward ihe bnnding fund Of the association, is familiar to the people of Arizona, but it has a still further bid for pnb. ne attention.
 Scull took the stand that pool and billiards had no p'ace in a Young Mems Christian Association build ing, and refused, it is said, to come through with his subscription when pool and billiard tables were installed in the association building. The aso citation holds. it seems. that pool and billiards are as harmless as marbles or three-old-cat. and proposes that Mr. Scull shall pong up with the hundred.
 The latest development in the now famous case Is that Scull has issued request in the form Of an adyer- tisement. asking that people pray for him that he may be able 10 keep the one hundred, or rather that he may be able to make a worthy defense against the assault on his purse. Here Is his request.
 "A Can 10 Prayer"
 The case Of the r. M C. A. vs. s. s. Scull is called in the district court for 9:30 am, Wednesday, Oc- tober %. want all lovers Of pure religion and all parents who want to see the youth of Phoenix instructed and entertained. without mixture Of moral poison. to pray for me. that l may be able to make a w&rthy N- fense, and be present. if possible, in court to hear the truth.

 The case was set for trial Wednes day. but at that time it was postponed until December 20.

Summer Calls

ITO me it Is the greatest of mys- teries." saie the girl who likes to talk, why one has to make calls at 8 summer resort In the first place. no body in any possible situation in any civilized spot on earth likes to make calls. They are one of the white mans burdens and women endure them just as gleefully as the early Christian martyrs took to the stake and the iions-because they have to.
 Every woman when she gets ready to go away for the summer heayes a sigh and says: Thank goodnesst Now can lead a simple. care free fife and not have 10 think Of social affairs again until winter. Such a re lief.'
 This Is all right and alluring in theory, but somehow 1t never works out. Never! Every day after l ar rive get news of other arrivals.

It will be the most gruelliHg race in the history of automobile races iH the west, and its progress will be watched by auto enthusiasts from every town and hamlet in the territory Bisbee people will be particularly interest ed, because Of the fact that a Eis bee machine. driven by Billy Fer guson. will be one of the entries.
 Compared with the polite eastern tours. which go through thickly set. tied parts or the country. always within easy call Of the railroads. tele- graph and telephone. the desert race will be like a dash into the jaws oi death" For more than a hundred miles of the course the autOists will traverse the silent places. with no hum Of the telegraph or telephone wires to remind them Of civilization On this hundred miles of desert, hope of succor in case Of accident is left behind
 From Andrade 10 Yuma is a seq of sand ten miles wide, where mirages 'ure forward and the sand pulls from tehind and the desert sun lasnes Chl pate from overhead.

Umpire Taken Away

Anniston, May -(Special)-U plre Bob Alexander of Alabama City, who was the victim of demonstra- tion by hysterical Anniston and Bir- mingham fans in this city as the re- suit, of displeasing decisions in the game between Anniston and Selma Thursday afternoon, was carried to Gadsden Friday morning by J. B. Pat ton, secretary of the Southeastern as sociation, it being deemed fmprudent to have him again officiate here FIT day afternoon.
 The game Thursday probably caused more high feeling among the specta- tors than any other contest of the kind ever staged here, fans from Bir- mingham and Atlanta, who were vls- iting the city, joining in the threats made against the umpire.
 MT. Alexander has many friends in Anniston, however who believe that he is thoroughly honest, and this be- lief is shared by the directors Of the Anniston association, although they stated in resolutions passed after the game that they considered his work decidedly unfair Thursday and re- garded him as incompetent to officate in league ball.
 Mayor Wikle, the Anniston directors and the better element of the citizens of Anniston have expressed unqualified disapproval of the demonstration, however, which they regard as mis- representative of Anniston and incon- sistent with clean sport The most friendly relations exist between the Anniston and Selma players and the management of the two teams, Captain Howard being liked in this city by those who know him, as well as Mana ger May.

The third man to sbe re- leased will be Catcher Larry Pratt. There are several places where he can be placed, but 1t is probable that he will be held on the ineligible list for several days in hopes of finding team from which he can receive what he is worth. He IS rattling good young catcher and will go mighty we'll in any minor league.

KENTUCKY CLASSIC WILL BE RUN

visitors from those sections which for merly boasted annual turf classics is much larger than heretofore, and indications point to a record-breaking crowd at the downs tomorrow.
 Governor Gray. judging by the private bets made tonight, is the favorlte, but Round the World, Meridian, Colston and Jack Denman also have been picked by many turf authorities as probable win ners Some of the most ardent packers of Governor Gray admit that the weather is a big factor in the race and that ram and a heavy track would work to the detriment of their favorites' chances If not in the withdrawal of Governor Gray altogether. Odds tonight on some of the favorites are:
 Governor Gray. 3 to l; Round the World and Meridian, to 1; Colston, to l; Jack Denman, 10 to l. with odds of 25 and 30 to 1 on other entries not so popular in the betting.

Mccain Robinson turned up yesterday morning with a bad case of humps.
 This is not only blow to Robinson, but to the club as well, as there will be nc opportunity for him to show his worth prior to the date for cutting down.

R. H. Baugh. president of the local association has gone to Chicago.
 He Is after player or two, and the chances are that he will land something of value.
 In connection with his trip, the rumor got abroad yesterday that the White Sox are anxious to acquire Shortstop Ellam. They want him now in order to have him ready for business in case something happens to either of the Chicago in- fielders.
 If this rumor is true, it is expected that MT. Baugh will close the deal while in the Windy City. A valuable trade might be made.

unique case, for the player at the pres- ent time is suffering from a broken collar bone and will not be able to play, it is feared, in a month.
 It is said that he might figure in trade for an infieider. It is also under stood that MT. Baugh will endeavor to land pitcher. It is not believed that there is chance to get either Reulbach or Pfeister, but were one of them brought south it would cause no surprise. And 1t is understood that there is deal pend- ing, too, whereby Sam Leever might be brought south.
 At any rate, the association is getting busy, and this means that the Barons will be in the race within a very short while.
