M'GRAW GETS SECOND MATTY
Davis Robertson, Recently Signed by
New York Giants, Has Wonderful
~. Record as Pitcher.

in Davis Robertson the Giants have
second Matty," were the words ot
an excellent baseball Judge, in dis
cussing one of the latest men signed
by the New York club. f;
Robertson who halls from Norfolk
Va, won 25 out of 26 games while
pitching for the Elizabeth City IN. c.
team last season. In one of those
games he struck out 10 men. He is
really utility man. for he has played
at first base and in the outf1eld. BE-
sides being good hitter, he is fast
man On the bases.
Robertson is 10 years of age, stands
Elk feet and weighs 1876 pounds. He
was brought to the attention of John
j. McGraw by William Hanan, the
man who discovered Mathewson. i
Robertson will report to McGraw
early next June. He will not join the
Giants earlier because he Is attend
ing the Agricultural and MechinicAl
school at Raleigh, N. G.. and wants TO
finish his course. Robertson is a left
handed pitcher. and his easy delivery
promises "a long and useful career on
the mound. i
Those who have watched him pitch
are willing to go on record as predict
ing he will show championship form
In his first game in the big league.

post-season games. Eddie Plank, the
old-timer with Connie Mack, had a
good year and won % games out of 30
that he pitched.
: Joe Wood Of Boston, the ex-bloomer
girl pitcher. worked almost as often
as any other twfrler and Is there in
the list with % victories out of 40
games.
/, The most unfortunate twirler in the
organization was Dolly Gray of Wash,
ington. He was on the hili In il
games and only won two OF them.
Jess Baker of the Sox was there with
two victories and seven defeats.
Bender won II and lost Ave games,
while Walsh's record was 81 won and
Is lost. Walsh worked in 1858 2-3 in
rings, gave only 70 bases on balls and
struck out 255 batsmen, leading the
league in this respect. Bender worked
in PIG 1-3 innings, gave So bases on
halls and struck out IA men. Walsh
led in number of games pitched as
we'll as in strikeouts and finished
with per cent. far above that OF the
Sox as a team. Is =,
Vean Gregg, the young southpaw Of
the Cleveland club. won % games and
lost only seven with a team that fin
ished third in the race. The man at
the top of the list was the youngster
Covington of the Detroit club, who
won seven and lost ,nly one, but he
was not in enough games to credit
him as the leader. -.

"a EIYlESS AGE"

One of the aims of the sanitarian to-
day is the "flyless age" Just as a few
years ago much effort, some of it high
ly successful. was directed against the
mosquito, so now a war Of eXtermina-
ton and prevention is directed against
the house fly, that familiar friend and
pest. says the Philadelphia Public
Ledger New England has been to a
degree diverted by the remarkable cam
paign undertaken by the Worcester
Telegram, which has now awarded 153
prizes amounting TO $3.50 to children
and others in a fly catching contest.
Ten barrels of flies are said to have
been gathered by the contestants. the
winner claiming a catch of 90 quarts.
or 1.219,OO0 flies.
This campaign became. to some ex-
tent, a joke, and the reason why the
Springfield Republican calls 1t a sort
of circus" is that it approaches the
subject in the wrong way and from the
wrong end. The reasons are to be
found in the report by L. O. Howard
Phi. ID. entomologist of the department
of agriculture at Washington. in the
valuable brochure, entitled THE House
Fly, Disease Carrier"
Dr. Howard takes, by way of exam
pie. an over wintering house fly on the
date of April Is, when it may be ex-
pected to lay 120 eggs, and he estimates
that the heirs and successors of that
fly. which are produced and reproduced
with incredible celebrity by Sept. TO- are
for 5,59S. 100000, 900. provid-
ed no accidents have interrupted tho
favorable to fly production.
When the children of Worcester set
about fly determination by collecting
two gills" or even quarts they are
merely emulating the good Dame Par
tington in her effort TO stay the prog
ress of the Atlantic ocean by means of
n broom.
Fortunately. the crusade is taking a
much more intelligent form in other
parts Of the country and is becoming

who threatened harm to her, and was
banished from the city by the local
courts. The wife remains at Bisbee,
and seems apparently delighted with
the judgment pronounced against her
husband
Cochrane was arrested last Monday
morning by officer c. n. Thomas of the
Bisbee police force, on a complaint
sworn to by Mrs. Cochrane, Who told
the officer that she feared her husband
would do her bodily harm. as he had
made threat against her The officer
hailed the husband into court and the
case was heard by Judge T. D. Rurdick.
Both the wife and a neighbor told the
court of the threats that Cochrane has
made against his wife and the court
placed Cochrane under a bond of 800
to keep his peace.
Cochrane said that he would be I'M
able to give the bond and asked that
he be allowed to leave Bisbee and his
wife and go to some other place to live
Believing that such a course would re-
move the cause of trouble, Judge Bur-

pend the sentence, but that If he ever
came back To iBsbee it would be en-

THREE HANDSOME
RESIDENCES PLANNED
Local Architects Complete Drawings
For Homes to Cost More
Than $4,000.

The progress of Phoenix in a build
ing way has never been better in
dictated than in three contracts which
are about to be let through the office
of Fitzhugh & Fitzhugh, architects
The contracts will be for three pri-
vate dwellings, which will total $50
900 or more in cost
one of the new houses will be the
handsome residence of j. w Doris,
to be located on Mr.. Doris Seventh
avenue tract When completed, this
building will be by far the finest and
most modern residence in the Salt
River valley. The exact figures of
the cost of Mr. Doris residence are
not Obtainable, as bids have not been
received for the construction. Bids
will be called for and construction
will be begun soon after Mr. Doris
return from abroad
Another of the new houses Will be
that of Mr.. Thomas McGinnis, which
will be located on the southeast cor
ner of Central avenue and Culver
street. This building. although only
a one story house, will probably be
the finest in point of finish of any
house in the valley. 1t will be fin
ished in mahogany, while the eXte
rior, planned to be of mission design,
will be finished in white cement
mixed with white quartz, the latter
being found in nearby mountains.
This is a new and unusually beauti-
full finish. not heretofore adopted by
architects of this city.
The third residence will be that of
DR. John bennett, Jr, the plans for
which are now in the hands of the
contractors. Ii will be located on
the corner of Central avenue and
Palm Drive, on a five-acre tract of
the Los Olives addition. 1t will be a
thirteen room residence, with four
bathrooms, and thoroughly modern
and complete in every appointment.

principal picture tells a thrilling story
OF man and wife who seems unsuited
to each other 1t is entitled, The
Ends of the Earth" Suffering from
ennui and indifference the pampered
wife does not appreciate the love and
attention bestowed upon her by her
husband. Her husband tires OF her
rejection of his love. and provides amp
~ for her care and leaves for the far
away north, to start anew among the
Adventures of Alaska. Six months la
ter he finds himself in the unciviliZed
regions of the great north country. In
the meantime his wife has had time to
repent her foolishness. and now that
she is to become a mother, longs for
her husbands society, and hungers for
his love. After the birth of her baby
boy. she grows lonesome. She decides
TO search for her husband, though ii
be to the ends of the earth. While she
is travelling on dog sled. clasping the
little child to her breast with moth

In making his way down deep de-

heavily, breaking his leg. In agony,
he falls exhausted. and lies helpless
With almost certain death staring him
In the face. Arriving at the trappers

sed that way. and induce her to leave
her baby with them. She continues on
