NEBRASKA WRESTLER
 IS SMILING NOW BELIEVES HE WILL BE ABLE TO PUT ON MATCH WITH EDDIE
 BROWN.
Will Arrange Event for Next Week if
 Possible.

Since the receipt of letter from Eddie Brown of Tucson stating his willingness to accept d match with Adolphe Myers. the Nebraska wrestler. Myers has begun to take an interest in making connections with a local theatrical manager who will be willing to stage a bout in Phoenix. When the letter from Eddie The Pride of Tue son." was shown to him last night in the office of The Republican. his face frightened in anticipation of d night to receive this" in manner which convinced those who heard him that he actually was glad. Since the day of his arrival in the Salt river valley he has had bad fortune in trying to ar range a match in this city. and he had almost made mp his mind to .:0 to the coast. when word of Browns accept ance reached him.
 Provided the match is brought to Phoenix it will be. under the terms of the present agreement between the two men. a handicap in which Myers prom ises to throw his opponent three times in ninety minutes. Little is kown of Eddie Brown in this part of Arizona. but it is understood that he bears d high reputation in Tucson, and he will probably be a bad man for Myers to dispose of

LARGE ATTENDANCE AT OPEN AIR MEETING HUNDREDS GATHER UNDER TREES TO HEAR REV. SMALL.
 City Hall Square an Impressive Ca thedrsI for Y. M. C. A. Services.

The manner in which the men of the city are beginning to accept the open air meetings conducted by the Y. NJ C. A. every Sunday on the city hall square was clearly shown yesterday afternoon, when there were in the neighboThOod of four hundred people in the audience A widespread appreciation of the efforts of the association to bring the services to the men, and not wait for the men to come to the services. IS being mani tested and the belief is generally en- tertained that a great amount of good will be accomplished through the con tinuation Of the weekly meetings.
 At the invitation of Secretary Davis. Rev. sam Small. who is well known in the city as an evangelist and lecturer addressed the gathering. In his brief word Of introduction. Mir. Davis stated the reason the association had for con ducting services on the square. where the heat of an in-dOor meeting is Ob- viated, and an opportunity offered to take part in the services without dis comfort
 Several hymns were sung by the Y II. C. A. quartet before the meeting was opened. and as the music was heard over the streets before the city hall. men came in to cluster around part lying down on the grass, part standing up. Deep shade made the square comfortable and the heavy trunks of the trees brought the col umns of cathedrals to the minds of the men as they listened to the music and gave attention tn the address which followed
 Rev. Small made a short talk of an eminently practical nature. in ,ghich he developed the thought that the human race is the greatest creation of God and that men owe it to their inherent nobility and power for good to save themselves. and live in accordance with the doctrines of Jesus Christ. Although he had little time in which to develop his theme, he delivered an address of unusual interest, charged with the earnestness and sincerity which made it acceptable, and helpful to the men who heard him. In the beginning of his address. he said, in part:
 'l have no doubt good many of you have not cen at church today. number of you got up too late to at tend morning services. and others will be too tired to go to the evening serv- ice. There are probably great many reasons why you may have found it impossible to gO-but that is not my concern this afternoon. l am out here to give talk on the religion of Jesus Christ, and I'm going to do it." He had the alter tion of his audience from the beginning. The entire address was of tho speaker and was

 MT. Props plan. although very good, theoretically. failed. There was a slight oversight in his arrangements.
 In the first place his board was not strong enough to pry anything, MT. Sprague was unwilling to push hard so soon after dinner. and MT. Holm quist was incapable of doing anything but retiring to the shade. The idea was abandoned and the crowd set

 of the early arrival of w. D. Ire maine. who had been sent for, and came steaming up the avenue d few minutes later with another Hudson
 
 car. he pulled it out of the ditch with little difficulty, and the crowd scattered to the four points of the compass. Before leaving. Mir. Arm strong expressed his gratitude foI the sympathy and assistance which had been extended to him and in- vited Mir Shibley to take a run with i him out Center street. He accepted ana it was not until they were well under way that the dark suspicion was given Voice-that Mir. Armstrong might he taking Mir. Shibley out tc l secluded spot where he could take ] full revenge fer his untimely whistle As Shbley was sen at dinner last night there was no foundation foI | tbis suspicion. owing to the fact that he failed to whistle after his evening diner it is thought that Armstrong decided to spare him or the condition that he cease his war bles. This supposition may also be unfounded. but its authenticity may
 be judged today when it is seer whether Shibley breaks forth into melody after luncheon It IS wei | known that he would not discontinue
 his arias without good reason.

SHIRLEY WHISTLES,

Prominent Young Men Sympathize
 With Chauffeur.

Four automobiles were stopped on Second avenue yesterday afternoon as their owners saw and were moved to pity by the sad plight of Tom Arm strong of Mesa. out for an afternon drive, who had driven his car. a Hudson twenty. into the ditch where it reposed snugly. A crowd gathered to See what could be done about get ting the runabout on the road again and helping Mr. Armstrong out of his predicament for even those who were not moved by feeling of friend ship for him were overcome with pro found sorrow upon seeing his dejectiOn
 as he stood by the side of his car. scarcely knowing the direction in which he should turn to find assis- tance.
 The accident had been caused by Kenneth Shibley's after dinner whis- tie Mir. Shibley is an engineer of the reclamation service. who is wide ly known and well thought of. but his habit of whistling after every meal is known only to his most inti- mate friends Few men are possessed of a more peculiar weakness. After eating a four course dinner he ren- ders operatic arias of the highest or der. frequently attempting Celeste Aida" The Jewel Song" and others of equal difficulty After an Ordi- nary lunch or breakfast he draws on his repertoire for light ballads.
 Seeing NIT. Armstrong coming down Second avenue MT. Shibley whistled ogi1 where he had had dinner, and. turn ing about in his seat to see one of Natures musicians, Mr. Armstrong lust control of the car and want in the ditch At the moment he lost control he was attempting to turn around. a process which is not usuelly successful when the chauffeur allows his attention to be diverted from the immediate business in hand.
 At the moment MT. Armstrong struck the ditch his face was a study for Rubens It was overspread by a tragic expression of surprise, terror and chagrin. and he had no sooner alighted from his car than he said to the men who had run out with Shibley to learn the seriousness of his trouble:
 Phoenix must have paved streets. "
 Everybody began to think up plan for getting the car out of the hole. MT. Sprague. connected with the Water Users association. decided to lift it out. He tried-and dessted. MT.

This record is not due to the

formations which they drilled into
the team neither Paducah nor

spoiled the whole season. Much
credit is due 10 the COACHES for

Also, the attendance at the games
was very good considering the fact
that this was the first season OF
football for seven years and the
citizens of Cairo are to be COM
