Arizona at San Francisco.

The ceremonies attending the dedication of Arizona's site for it's State Building at the Panama-Pa- cifc International Exposition to be held in San Francisco in 1915, were exceedingly interesting and impressive, and were witnessed by thousands of Arizonians and citi- gens of San Francisco.
 In dedicating the ground, Com missioner Eugene Brady O'Neil poured upon it a bottle of Hassay- ampa water, which he had brought from the Hassayampa Creek of Arizona for the christening, and in explaining it's wonderful properties said:
 "If you drink of this water with your head pointing upstream, mar vicious results will ensue. The women will become beautiful and the men truthful and industrious. But when the head points down. stream in drinking, the men be- come liars and lazy. The famous water contained in this little bot tie was caught with the bottle pointed upstream, and I now turn it on the site of our great building to christen it in the spirit of Ari- zona. And 1 defy anyone to dis posses Arizona of it's chosen spot"
 The famous bottle of magic water was brought to San Fran cisco by Harry Welch, Secretary of the Arizona Commission, for the express purpose of christening the Harbor View sands with it.
 When the deed to the Arizona site was given over by President Charles c. Moore ofthe Exposition, Commissioner O'Neil said:
 "We are the newest state but we are rustlers and we look after our own. By our efforts as pioneers and by the magic of water we have made an empire in the desert. We have -blooded men down there
The oasis., 1912-07-13

and they are coming to this won- derful Exposition in force"
 During their stay in San Fran cisco the Arizona Delegation were accorded the highest honors. The dedication took place on the site set aside for the State Buildings which is located in the Presidio Reservation. The Coast Artillery Corps and United States troops were reviewed by Commissioner O'Neil, and beside the review, there were automobile rides over the city, luncheons, dinners, boat rides on the Bay, and many other interesting events of entertainment were arranged by the officials of the Exposition for the Arizona Commission.

ANNAPOLIS. Md, Dec. l.--Enthu-
siasm without iimt burst this even
ing when the midsh. pmen welcomed
home the yictoTs OF the Army Navy
football game Al Philadelphia Satur-
day. The football parry arrived
saoriiy before this evening. and
were met at the station by the mem
bers of the First battalion, who In
sisted on pulling the vehicles which
carried the players to the academy.
The middies were fantasticalay array
ed in blousGs inside out. and there
were a number of hits at the army
indicated by various thinRs carried in
the parade. One was a huge broom.
hich indicated how the army lads
had been swept off the field. On the
side of the omnibus was a carto On
showing the Navy goat butting a ter
rorized Army mule.
AT the academy fine electrical dis
pay had been prepared. including
string Of electric globes from the
academy building TO the top OF the
wirele s pole. a hundred and twenty
feet high Inside the gate were the
Second battalion and the academy
band, and q lire of march had FORM
ed to the front of Bancroft hall.
where the formal celebration took
place. A bonfire was made OF the
brooms which each midshipman car
ried. and the coaches and players
were called to the top of the omni-
bus and addressed the crowd Of mid
shipmen.
Head Coach Howard spoke Of the
encouragement OF the early part OF
the season, and sid that the Navy
had finally turned out the best team
In Its history. He urged the midship-
men to 60 ahead and defeat the Army
In baseball and fencing. Field Coach
wheston congratulated the team on
its nerve and ability to take advantage
OF every point. and stated that he
would rot be able to return next sea-

TIoN OF THE CRY.

A movement Is on foot among well
known local lovers Of baseball to or
ganize a semi professional league OF
four clubs IN Richmond next season
with four clubs" said one OF
those interested last night. local
rivalry will keep up interest. A club
representing the different sections OF
the city--one in South Richmond, one
On the northstde. one in Fulton. OF
the East End. and one In the West
End. would draw and create the
greatest of interest"
I'VE had similar league some
years ago. when the Twin City league
was in existence Broad Street Park
could hardly hold the crowds that
gathered to witness the games. We
played a doubie-header every Satur'
day.
Some good players came from the
league, and the interest IN the games
is what induced Mr.. Bradley to start
up the Virginia league again"
Much interest Is being manifested
In this proposed organization. II Is not
intended TO interfere with the exist
ing ar,steur leagues. but will be con
Quoted as a semi professional. and Il
is proposed that the clubs take trips

KOSH MAN is FIT AS CAN

NEW YORK, Dec. LII condition
counts for anything. there's going to
be some scrap when Mike Gibbons, of
ST. Paul, and Eddie McGoorty, of
Oshkosh. come together at Madison
Square Garden on Wednesday night.
Both middieweights are as ut as hard
work and careful training can make
them.
Supporters Of Gibbons hold that ne
is so clever that MeGoorty will And 1t
next to impossible to get to him, but
Big Bob Armstrong. the erstwhile
heavyweight. who has. been training
McGoorty, advises his friends to BAN
ish all such notions.
Jim Corbett, the former heavy
weight champion. Is an enthusiastic
CIR bons man. Corbett goes so Far
as to pronounce the boxer from st.
Paul as the greatest fighter he ever
saw. and he Doesn't believe that the
Oshkosh scrapper will stand any
chance at all. Corbett believes that
Mike Will be able to feint the other
fellow into knots. and he would not
be surprised to see the bout end abb
yuptly well inside the ten-rornd limit.
Corbett dces not see how the differ
ence in the weights Is going to give
MrGoortv much Of an advantage, FLOR
Gibbons has been training up SO that
he will be at least l54 pounds. while
McGoorty will have to scale under
15s.

Want More Wages,
MANY OF the moving picture opera
tors Of Richmond are leaving this
city ON account of the low wages
which are paid here" said one Of
them last night
THE salaries at some OF the houses
are rediculousiy low, and conditions
are becoming worse, rather than bet
ter.
.The duties OF an operator are very
trying; the work Is tedious, and the
hours are long. In the ordinary
movie" house fourteen to sixteen
hours constitute days work.
Besides being q mechanic the
operator must be thoroughly ac-
quainted with electricity in all its
branches. and be able to make any
necessary electrical repairs and In
stailations. Unless an advance In
wages II soon made Richmond will
be, sadly in need of men.
THE average manager knows moth
ing Of the intricate mechanism Of a
protection machine and It's care.
