PHOENIX CENTER OF
 BASEBALL WORLD
Perhaps-lf Eastern League Is In- duced To Go Into Training
 Here.

If the present mission of MT. r. P. Hastings of the Santa Fe railroad company to Chicago is successful, Phoenix and the entire southwest will be bathed in a flood of glory during the coming winter, for it IS hoped that one of the great ball teams of the country may be induced
 to locate in the Salt river valley for
 the training season, which usually lasts about four months.
 The location of such a team as the White SoX or any other one of the great major leagues, in Phoenix, would bring the city more publicity than it has ever before gained from the visit of any organization. Head lines of sporting pages all over the country would herald each night and morning to countless readers. that The White SoX are having a good
 training season in Phoenix or Phoenix, the sunny southern home of our great ball artists"
 But the ball teams have invitations from other cities than Phoenix, and the result of Mir. Hastings inter views NllN the managers or lllt bAS teams will be awaited with anxiety.
 He has already seen Manager Murphy of the White Sox, but the result is not known. Other baseball managers will
 be seen before ne begins the home
 ward journey, and if he brings home
 word that Phoenix is tO be the center of the baseball world during the win ter of 1911, he will receive more con- gratulations than he can carry.
 The invitation has been extended to the ball teams at the request of the secretary of the board of trade, Har- ry Welch. who realizes the value such |a visitation would mean tO Phoenix. Another feature that has not been dwelt upon is that the Phoenix ball players. native sons who play very |creditable ball, could watch the head liners of the profession at work, and have an opportunity to improve their form It would be educational to the Young America of Salt river valley. land the older residents would benefit by the introduction of many new set tiers who might never have heard of the Salt river valley had they not been addicted to the sporting page habit. and read there that the White Sox team is wintering in Phoenix

ADJUSTMENTS
THE SAVOY.

Many features are included in the new program shown at the Savoy last night for the first time. It will be repeated tonight.
 The music as well as the pictures could be called a feature for there was not one selection that was not up to the standard.
 Among the pictures shown "The Fcud" a Western love affair shows how a father tries to make his daughter marry against her will Her own choice is away and she does not know his whereabouts. Just as she is about to consent to her marriage a note through an Indian girl from her old sweetheart. This saves the day and all ends happy. Another picture proves to be equally interesting.

NEW ZEALAND SlEUTHS ARE
 EXPERTS.

That the detectives of New Zea land are abreast of the times and make use of the latest scientific dis coverios and devices in the art of sleuthing. was evidenced in the pro- ceedings before United States Commis- sioner Wright for the eXtraditiOn of William and Maud Rogers, wanted by the Auckland authorities for the burg lary of a jewelry shop in that city.
 Edward William Scott, the detective sent from the antipodes to take back the prisoners. testified that he fast ened the crime upon Rogers by identy- fying casts of finger prints on the window sill of the jewelry store with the prints made by him of Rogers's fingers after the latter's arrest here. The prisoner stated to the witness in the county jail in this city that he could have disposed of the stolen jewelry in Auckland. but he thought he could get more money for the jewels here.-From the San Francisco ChrOn- icle.

FORDS WILL ENGINEER
 SUCCESSFUL EXCURSION
Two Hundred Fans Have Signified In
 tention to Go to Tucson.

The Phoenix Fords are jubilant over the successful preparations they have made for their big excursion to Tue son next Sunday. August 20. They were required this time by the officials of the Arizona Eastern to have one hundred and twenty five tickets signed up before the special could be guar anteed. instead of one hundred as at the time of their first excursion. They have succeeded beyond their eXpecta- tions. and announced last night that they had more than two hundred fans signed up for the trip. with more to follow.
 The train is scheduled to leave Phoe- nix next Sunday morning at o'clock and is there is vacant seat in the coaches trusty men will be sent out oyer town to rake up another enthus- fast to fill it. Indications are good for a big day. the biggest the valley ball players have ever had. and the Fords intend to improve it to the ut most by going to Tucson with several ball fans in their train.
 Great interest attaches to the third game between the Brannans and the Fords The first game was played in Tucson, and the Fords lost to the Bran mans The second game was lost in Phoenix by the Brannans, and the third game will be lost in Tucson by the but there's no use telling until later It would spoil the sport.
 The Industrial Liberty band will go with the team as before. and it is eX- pected that the enthusiasm of the first excursion will be doubled and trebled. The team is going down to play with the same men it had when it lined up to meet the Brannans here in Phoenix. There will only be one addition to the team. and that will be in the person of Knowles. a Frisco pitcher who Jest trapped in" and signified his willing ness to go in the pitchers box for the Phoenix Fords. so White annexed him.
 Knowles will probably pitch at the big final game in Tucson, although it is possible that Nellis will have an Op- 'portunity to retrieve his reputation on the grounds at Elysian. Gill may whirl one or two. and the team will he ready with three first class pitchers to make the Brannans earn the game-if they win it.

We are going down there with the in- tention of returning with the cham pionship, and I will be very much de- ceived individual if we fail to win it

SMALL POX STORY
 HAS BAD EFFECT
WeIch Will not See Famous Moqu
 Snake Dance.

Secretary Harry Welch of the Phoenix Board of Trade received d wire from w. H Clark of Holbrook yesterday telling him that no con neotions will be made between that town and the MoCui reservati3,n oii the days set apart for thsSHimous yearly snake dance, E8u announce ment is made .earesult of fake newspaper stories concerning the de- vestation of the Indian villages by small pOX.
 It is not known where the story of the small poX originated, but 1t was given wide credence over the territory in the early part of last week. Later advices state that 1t was groundless. and that there is no indication of the disease among the Indians. but the effect has been to deter numbers of eastern people from coming west to witness the dance, and it will result in preventing. many people from seeing the peculiar cere- mony.
 Since the receipt of the telegram Mir. Welch says he will probably give up the idea of seeing the dance. as it may be impossible to reach the reservation if the stage is not run from Holbrook. and the Indian dance was the main object of his trip. Later in the summer he may arrange to take vacation in the eastern part of the country.

 BRINGS SPEEDY ARREST
Resident of Five Points Flourishes Club, then Asks for Ginger Snap
 Supper.

John W. O'ROurke. of the French aristocracy, as his name evidences. has been living in the vicinity of Five Points for several years, and might have continued to live there for several years longer had he not been convicted of insanity yesterday in the local courts.
 He has been under suspicion for some time, The people near Five Points have noticed certain peculiari- ties about him that gave them the inn pression that he was not entirely ra- tional, and when he used strong lang uage yesterday morning in addressing a very inOffensiVe person. he was brought to the police station to have his case investigated.
 As a sample of his mental derange- ment, his remark made just before dinner last night is typical. The jai Ter asked him if he wanted something to eat. O'Rourke was seated on the side of his bed at the time the ques- ton was asked. looking mOrosely down at the floor Yes I want something to eat. Ginger snaps will do me. One order of ginger snaps"
 When arrested at Five Points yes terday he had very handy single tree in his possession purloined from the wreck of a broken down wagon, and he swung it around in manner that made some people apprehensive for the safety of their craniums. The consensus of opinion at Five Points is to the effect that O'ROurke should have apartments in the territorial asy- um for the insane. His case is not ordinarily violent, and it is possible that a few months treatment may make a change for the better in his
