Ninth Cavalry Sports Sure to Entertain All Who Make Trip to Warren
 This Afternoon
Is SPLENDID PROGRAM

One Of the most successful military field meets ever seen in this state will be held in the Warren ball park on Sunday afternoon, December 22 when troops A. B and C of the First squadron Of the Ninth cavalry will meet in competition for troop hon ors, before the breaking up of the First squadron for other stations
 Ever since Thanksgiving day when the last meet was held. numerous ie- quests from citizens who were disap- pointed in not being able to witness the feats have been received by the offers in Warren to hold there an other time; added 10 this. the boys Of Troop B, who were badly defeated in almost every event, prevailed up- on the officers to allow them to make another try for the prestige whica was formerly theirs.
 Receiving orders from Washington for scattering the troops of the FiEst squadron temporarily. the of ficers decided that an opportune time had presented itself so the meet will be given two days before Troop . leaves for Fort Huachuca to take 1he station formerly occupied by the Fourth cavalry.
 The soldier boys have been prac- ticing necessarily and a series Of sports have been arranged that will delight everybody. Those who az tended the meet on Thanksgiving day were enthusiastic over the daring horsemanship the soldiers displayed. The program this time has been made mone complete than the one given on Thanksgiving day; Troop A will come up from Naeo for the occasion and the Ninth cavalry band will come Up from Douglas to add to the gaiety of the occasion.
 The soldiers are receiving the hearty support of the citizens of War ren and Risbee in making this the most successful meet of its kind ever seen in the state. eJsse Yoakum, manager Of the Warren-Bisbee rail way. has done no little in making the affair the wished for success, giving the officers the park and supplying practice courses. That the meet VIII be more than the usual display Uf field sports, is shown by the follow ing program just completed by the officers:
