BLANKS RECEIVED

Congressman Carl Hayden has sent to Justice Irwin a number of blanks for filing applications for increase of pension by old soldiers. Under the Sherwood act all veterans of the civil war who have reached the age of 62 are entitled to an increase in pension. As they grow older, the vet erans receive a larger sum monthly For instance the veteran of 62 years of age. who served 90 days will get $13 per month: if he served three years he will get $16. The amount increases approximately with age and the veteran who is seventy-five and has served three years, is en- titled to $3000 per month. In a let ter sent with the blanks, MT. Hayden says:
 T sincerely hope all of the old vet erans Wl take immediate advantage of the benefits of this law. All claims will be adiudicated in the or der in which they are received at the pension office, so that it is important that these claims be filed promptly.

TEMPE
TEMPE MAKES RECORD
 IN BASE BALL GAMES
Wins Both of Sundays Games From
 Phoenix Organizations.

Sunday was a great day for Tempe in the baseball line. two of it's teams each winning a game from Phoenix organizations. Probably the most in- teresting and the one that received the largest attendance was the 13 inning game between a team from Phoenix known by that name and the local town team The other game be- tween the State Team of Phoenix and the local convict nine was also very close, although it took no extra innings to decide the hOnOrS.
 The former game resulted in a score of eight to six in favor of Tempe. al- though t looked at times like there was no show whatever. A three base nit
 by the first man up in the second in
 ming on each team tied the score. But
 it soon raised to four to two in favor
 of Phoenix. From then on until the eighth the bets were decidedly in favor
 of Phoenix, but in that inning t.e local
 team tied the score. Several times In
 the ensuing innings Phoenix would
 run in a run but it would be immedi- ately tied And that was the way the
 game progressed until it was brought
 to a close in the thirteenth inning with
 high fly on which two bases were se-
 cured, and two sacrifices instantly fol-
 lowing Smiley and Castle, the north side battery played an excellent game
 and had good backing in the outfield
 but their infield seemed to be a little weak Spikes and Pine Tempe battery until the tenth when Petersen relieved Spikes, also played a good game and received good support all over the field although a number of new players were being used.
 The convict game resulted in score of five 70 six, so that it can be easily | seen that Tempe worked for all it re- ceived. \ number of new players are constantly showing up on the stockade team but they always make good So that the usual up-tO-date team is con stantly seen upon the diamond. The Phoenix cam appeared to be composed mostly os boys but they all made good. 1 The same two teams played a week ago Sunday at which time the convicts | walked off with them but things were | exceedingly changed day before yes | terday.

UNION SERVICES A SUCCESS.

The union church services held at the Airdome Sunday evening for the first time this year proved a good success. For manT years past the services have always been conducted by every pro- testant church in Tempe in comb1na- tion and such was the case Sunday night. Most of the churches are very uncomfortable during this time of the year and at the same time it is very hard to draw a congregation out to five different ones consequently they are all working together and still deriving the same results. Rev. F. w. Germans sermon Sunday evening was very fit ting and profitable to all who were in attendance. The congregation sing ing also lent a great deal to the suc- cess of the services. The same scheme will be in effect next Sunday evening with Rev. N. B. McGhee officiating.

The main will farther so as to accommodate the people who have recently built in the extreme western part of the city.
