CLIFTON 10; MoRENcI 4

l The ball game between Clifton and Morenci Sunday which was played on the Morenci grounds, resulted in an overwhelming victory for Clifton. Cliff ton scored in nearly every inning and Morenci, but was knocked out of the Pedro Cuaron started in to pitch for Morenci, butw as knocked out of the box in the second inning, being re- placed by Red Bird. Red had con siderable trouble in finding the plate however and was issuing free passes regularly.
 Mason for Clifton was the star at the bat, securing four hits out of as many times at bat, two of them being triples. Billingsley and Grimes also did good work with the bat and in the field. The only excuse Manager Walker could offer LOT the poor show ing of his club was that he could not get the men he wanted but that tt would be a different tale next Sun day.
 Morenci will be down Sunday and try to redeem last Sundays defeat, but with the lineup Clifton has now, Morenci will have to go some. As this will practically be the first game of the season down here a good crowd is expected The boys will be under quite an expense in bringing Morenci. down and we would like to see every fan in town attend and help them out.

A GREAT NEW MUSICAL COMEDY

A GREAT NEW MUSICAL COMEDY
 It would seem that the limit of originality has been reached in the construction of new musical comedies
 were it not for the fact that every now and then, there is a new dis
 covery made in this profitable field of theatrical endeavor. Difficult as
 the problem is however, it has been
 solved successfully by Walter De
 Leon, the young California author-com- poSer-actor who has written an en-
 tirely new and original Musical Conl-
 edy entitled The Campus" which
 Ferris Hartman will bring to Clifton
 on the evening of April "A, at the Ar
 moury Theatre. This is the first time
 that Ferris Hartman has appeared
 here and there is no doubt that the
 reception he will be greeted with,
 will induce him to return again eacn
 season with a new piece. Accom-
 panying MT. Hartman will be Walter
 De Leon the author and composer of
 the play, and Miss ''Muggins" Davies,
 the charming soubrette. Those two
 young people have just concluded an
 Eastern tour in The Campus and
 bear the highest testimonials from the
 press and public of Denver, Kansas
 City, St. Louis, ana Chicago. The
 company which has been provided in
 support of MT. Hartman is large and capable and contains nearly all the cast that originally appeared in the piece, during it's long run of PIP per formances in Los Angeles. The chorus is made up equally of boys and girls, and is the best singing chorus for musical comedy seen here in long time MT. De Leon is a gradu- ate of the University of California, and it is particularly fitting that his first play should be a reflex of his college experiences. The music of ''The Campus next perhaps to the comedy element, is considered it's greatest charm, for it is bright, clever and ori- ginal. The Los Angeles Record, in speaking of "The Campus" said, 'The Campus is a decided musical triumph because it has a real plot, bright dia- logue, situations that are not the old hackneyed ones found in most per formances of it's class. It contains real characters that stand out plainly in ones mind after you have left the theatre. The music besides being i is excellent. You can take some of the tunes home with you and | whistle them and yet the music is above the average popular stuff. The time of our youth is the best part of our lives and The Campus" is full of this glorious spirit. MT. Hartman is to be congratulated upon having selected such - a clan, wholesome, i. down-to-the-minute musical comedy for the purposes of his present tour and there is no doubt of it's imm ediate sue cess here. |

WOMAN SUFFRAGE DEFEATED

A bomb was thrown into the ranks of the woman suffrage advocates on Saturday of last week when the Sen- ate refused to adopt the bill for the submission of the woman suffrage constitutional amendment to vote of the people. It had been taken for granted that the Senate would follow along the path of the House repre- sentatives in this matter and that when the general election was held this fall the voters would decide whe- ther or no women should vote in Arl- zona. Senator Chase of Greenlee county had the distinction of putting the "kibosh" on the Woman Suffrage proposition. When the roll was be- ing called Chase passed his vote for the time being. When the roll was completed the clerk announced that it was a tie-nine and nine. The name of the Senator from Green1ee was then called and he voted NO. The vote by which the proposed d. mendment was defeated was announc- ed: Ayes g, Nays 10, as follows
 Ayes-Brown, Davis, Hechtman, Hubbell, Hughes, Pace, Willis, c. B. Wood, and Worsley-9.
