PLANNING b|G
 DEMONSTRATION
Arizona People Will Make Big Noise in Frisco on the Occasion of Selection of the States Exhibition Site

| E. B. O'Neill, a member of the com- mission appointed by the governor to select a site for Arizonas exhibition l building at the Panama Pacific fair, and Al Moore, exalted ruled of PhOe- nix lodge B. P O. Elks, went to Tucson yesterday on the one o'clock train, their purpose being a confer ence with Nose Drachman and J. s. Douglas, two other members of the commission. It has been planned by | the commission, to take passage on | the special Eiks train that will carry 1 the Arizona delegation to the grand l lodge next month, and select the site on the day the excursion arrives in San Francisco. The reason of that is | that there may be a large assemblage of Arizona people on the ground on l that eventful occasion, both to in spre the Frisco people with Ari- zona's enthusiasm, and to pull off a | little advertising stunt for the state 1 in connection with the event.
 It is planned to have moving pie ture machine on the grounds so that
 the formalities of selecting the site may be recorded on a film to be shown throughout the country. That | night it is planned to hold a big Arizona dinner in the Palace hotel where it is hoped a fine assemblage l of Arizona people may be gathered. | The dinner will be composed as nearly as may be of a menu of Ari- zOna products such as fruits, canta loupes, ostrich eggs, dates and all the novelties that can be provided. And the San Francisco newspaper men will of course be invited to attend and give the affair such publicity as
 they may think it deserves.
 F. J. Mccarthy the Tucson repre- sentative of the Pullman company was in Phoenix Thursday in connec-
 tion with the equipping of the Elks special, the patronage of which by the way will not be confined to members of that order. Anybody can
 himself. providing he buys it soon enough: and right there is where Mr Mccarthy comes in. He wants to know just as soon as possible how many cars Phoenix will need. Pull man equipment may be hard to get at the last minute, with the whole country journeying toward the coast ! at that time, but there will be plenty of cars if there is sufficient notice Those who intend to avail themselves of the cOnveniences and pleasures of | this train are therefore urged to mako
 their reservations at the earliest pos
 Sible moment that everything desired

MELON SEASON
 PROPERLY ON
Everybody Is Late This Year But This Valley Leads the Procession: Growing Demand for Early Arizona Potatoes

The watermelon season throuhout the west is later than usual this year owing to the long cold winter It is about week late in these parts but the delay is more than that in most places. The famous COachella valley in California which has heretofore been the chief rival of the Salt river val ley in he early melon line. it is re- ported will not have water melons for carload shipments before the first of July while Phoenix loaded it's first car yesterday.
 The Phoenix melons are larger than usual for the beginning of the season and have the same fine flavor as of old.
 The Imperial valley it is reported is a
 week behind Coachella, so the Salt river valley leads the procession this
 year.
 Lettuce has been scarce on the local
 market for the past two weeks but It
 is again coming in nicely.
 Cantaloupes are now being shipped by the crate but the supply is yet too meager for shipping in carloads. But
 the season for big shipping will soon be on. It is not the aspiration of this val ley to get in first with it's big canta- 1oupe shipments but rather to follow the first arrivals when their crops be- gin to Wane, thus maintaining better l prices for all of them. Summer squash l es are on the blink and cabbage is get 1 ting shy Potatoes have heretofore been neglected in this valley on the same 1 foolish theory that held back the fame 1 bf other crops for many years, namely | that it IS not a potato country. The l iup to date truck gardeners and market men now contend quite the opposite, i that potatoes grow here as well as any where If enc knows how to raise them, 1 and of course are ready for market l earlier than in most places. Potatoes | should be among the banner crops grown here and if planted early could 1 be shipped to the California early
 market to good advantage Arizona 1 has eaten trainIOads of California po- | tatOes and it is time now to ask for a | return of the compliment.

SUMMER

Movement Is Suggested by Hospitable Invitations of Flagstaff and Endorsed by Board of Trade at the Weekly Meeting

Spend the Summer in Arizona" is urated by the boost mill at the board of trade It was suggested by several invitations from northern cities for visits to the cool mountain lands of the canyon district, particularly that of Flagstaff for the Fourth of July cele- bratiOn. The directors of the board at their regular weekly meeting last Thursday made suitable reply to the bid and endorsed the idea with their accustomed warmth. Buckeye is s>s- planning jubilee and the directors will try to have train schedules arranged so that Phoenix people may spend the day in the cool groves of the Buckeye country and return the same evening. It was recommended by the adver- Using committee to accept the offer of 1 The Arrowhead Magazine of a ten pa ge
 write up, 5000 copies and an additional l 1000 for each $1OO of advertising-all | for $250.
 1 When Weyland Woods offer of cars | to take the geOgraphers to the dam was 1 mentioned before the board, those gen ! tlemen made a unanimous tender Of | thanks f0" the favor It was also planned i to have automobiles raised to convey l A. J. Wells and party over the scenic

DINING CAR SERVICE
 0N SOUTHERN PACIFIC
Coast Travellers May Now Get Break fast Before Leaving the
 Train.

The Southern Pacific management has added another convenience to it's service between Phoenix and Los An geles, that will be especially appre- ciated by the business man; the man who goes to the coast on business and wants to get back again just as soon as he can That is the serving of dinner on the dining cars west bound after connection with the 6 o'clock train from Phoenix. and the serving of breakfast before the train arrives in Los Angeles at 7:15 the next morning.
 Heretofore the Phoenix traveller to the coast had to get his dinner be fore he started or do without it, and no breakfast could be secured until after one left the train in Los An geles. Under the new arrangement one can step off the train in Los An seles, ready for business, transact it and take the afternoon train back at o'clock losing only one days ab- sence from business in Phoenix, and if he leave Saturday night he loses no business day at home for he can be back ready for work Monday morning.
 While this is done primarily for the accommodation of travellers. it is suspected that the dining car service also appreciates picking up the extra dollars, but if time is the essential, as it often is with a busy man, he does not mind buying d meal or so extra on the cars.

FIFTH REGIMENT TEAMS
PLAY 2 GAMES TONIGHT

Two games viii be played in the Fifth
Regiment basket ball league tonight.
The better of the two should be the
struggle between the Atlanta Grays
and the Ma-ist Rifles. The Atlanta
Grays' team is now tied for first place
with the Horse Guards aggregation,
and has won every game 80 far. AL
though the Marist Rifles lost to the
Grady Cadets, their team has been boil
stored up for the game tonight. Two
members of the Atlanta Athletic club
team, who are members of Marist
Rifles, will probably be in the lineup
against the Grays tonight.
The Governors Horse Guards also
meet the Fulton Fusiliers. This game
was scheduled for last Friday, but was
postponed. The Fusiliers have a
game scheduled tonight with the Ger
man American Guards which they will
win by the forfeit route. The game
with the Horse Guard will therefore
complete the entertainment.

AUGUSTA, GA. Oct. 3O.-Ty Cobb

winter. Cobbs father in-law. with
whom he is visiting, is one of the
wealthiest men in this section of the
state and has a splendid estate nine
miles from the city. One Of the at
fractions on the Lombard estate which
gives Cobb a very great amount of
pleasure is the large fish pond where
one can go almost any day and catch
large string of perch, Dream, trout
or pack within a few minutes.
one of Ty CObbs faVorite branches
or sport is hunting. Each year he makes
a trip with a party of friends down
the Savannah river for $50 miles to
shoot Wild turkey, deer, squirrels and
duck. There are few bears in the
savannah river swamps also. The
party goes down by boat and camps
out by the side of the stream.
Cobb does not talk much about his
salary demands on the Detroit man
agement, but it is understood that he
will insist on a contract calling for
$4,000 a year for the next three years

a DAPPER young referee gave
~ 400 fight fans a chance to en-
joy good nights sleep
when he declared Barney Ford, of
Philadelphia, had fouled Terry
Mitchell, of New York, in the
fourth round Of the main bout at
Harry Staten's Olympic club.
1t was a foul blow all right and
we were all glad that the referee
saw 1t, for otherwise we might
have been forced to sit through the
entire scheduled ten rounds. And.
goodness knows we wouldn't have
cared to do that, unless some of us
prefer wrestling to boxing.
The blow that ended our misery
was a left swing that didn't carry
much steam, but it was far below
the limit in the Marquis of Queens
berry code. The wallop probably
didn't hurt Mitchell in the least,
but he saw a chance for victory
and his only opportunity he had to
win, by the way-so he took an
awful 'fBrodie.'
While neither boy knew any too
much about the game of hit and
get away, Ford verify is the bet
ter boy He is fairly clever and
packs a fair kick in his left hand.
Mitchell probably can hit the hard

MitcheIl's Face Well Beaten Up.
This Mitchell person, a noble son
of Italy who carries an alias in

Said face has suffered many beat

and his nose covers his face like a

This same face led Ford to believe
that his only hope of winning was
by working on the body and there

part of Mitchell's anatomy.
Time and again he ripped his left

PHILADELPHIA. Oct, 80
"Ty" Cobb, outfielder ex-
traordmary, has threatened to
quit baseball, and from private
sources here 1t is learned that 1t is
with good reason. Tyrus has been
offered partnership IN a cotton
brokerage firm and is considering
acceptance. While the baseball
public generally will laugh at the
suggestion, Tyrus declares that he
means it.
Cobb waxed enthusiastic during
the Giants-Red Sox series in New
York and Boston, and especially to
the scribe from Philadelphia, who
accompanied him while he was lex
porting"
Baseball doesn't mean a thing
to me except for what money I can
make" Cobb told the scribe, when
asked about the brokerage part

offer turns out one half of what 1t
is said to be worth to me, the De-
troit club or no other major league
club could afford to pay me what
would ask"
Cobb has had business ambitions
for more than a year. During the
strike of the Detroit club here,
Cobb was the most unconcerned
player of the team.
Il have a peculiar contract" he
said. IF / am not reinstated 1t
doesn't worry me a bit. for l will
go South to my home and still draw
my salary. will not be cent loser
either way, for can go into bust

1t is believed that the knowledge
that no heavy fine would punish
him LED the American league head
to reinstate him with nominal
fine for the sake of league disci-
pline.

I will locate II I go into business"
Cobb said, but, believe me, unless

club will be looking for an out

OXFORD, GA, Oct. 30.-The seniors

over the freshmen and juniors in the

The features in the senior freshman

Mitchell Gets Chance to Beat
Ford on Low Blow, So He Flops

er and many of the blows were al
together too low. The dapper
young referee warned him twice to
keep his punches higher, but he
verify thought he could get away
with the below the belt wallops.
When Mitchell went down from
the punch that won the long end
Of the purse for him, he earned
himself a job in Hamlet, where
death scenes cut so much ice. He
wiggled and twisted in ina ginary
pain that would have done credit
to a Sothern or a Hackett.
Foul Blow Carried No Steam.
The blow that "f1oored" him
wouldn't break an electric bulb,
but it was a foul and the referee
was very kind in allowing us a
chance to beat it for the feathers.
Up to the finishing punch, the
fight was all Ford's. He did all
the forcing and landed all the clean
blows. Mitchell shook off many
hard left hooks and smiled at 'em
all. But whenever Ford jammed
his left low it hurt the Gotham lad
and in the third round one of these
uncouth wallops caused him to sink
to his knees. 1t was then that the
referee gave Mr.. Ford to under
stand that repetition of the same
would cost him the scrap.
1t was announced before the fight
that the winner would meet Clar-
ence English here next Tuesday
night. Good night, Mr. Torrance
Mitchell!
Walsh Quits to Baker.
The semi windup was scheduled
to go six rounds, but Frank Baker
made Ed Walsh-not big Ed
of spitball fame-rest his head
peacefully on the canvas in the
middle of the second round. Mr..
Walsh thereby proved that he is
possessed of plenty of good sense,
for he was in for a fine lacing had
he remained on his prominent ped
ais.
Lorenzo Ferguson Woodruff, of
Montgomery, Ala, gave perfect sat
isfaction in the role of referee.

BILL CHAPPELLE WANTS
TO BECOME AN AVIATOR

JACKSON, MISS, Oct 30-Big "Bilr'
Chapelle, of the twirling staff of the Chat
tanooga, Southern league team, may be-
come an aviator.
While in Jackson last week Chappelle
admitted that he had such aspirations and
added that he intended to go to New York
at an early date to study up on aerial
navigat ton, with the idea of adopting
aviation as a profession He disclaimed
any intention to abandon baseball, but
said he had figured 1t out that he could be
baseball pitcher during the summer and
an aeroplane pilot in the winter.
Chappelle was here with John j. Nc
Grath, of Massachusetts, who gave two
successful flights during the state fair in
70-horsepower Bleriot type monoplane.
There is one difficulty that seems to
stand in the way of Chappelle's attaining
the object of his desire. That Is his
weight The Chattanooga slab artist his
friends assert, has the nerve that Is es-
sential to successful endeavor in the avi-
alton profession, but they fear his weight
will interfere.
