PARKER TEAM HAS
WINNING STREAK
Uncle Sans Wards Lose Second
Straight Game to White Hopes
New Grand Stand Constructed at
Ball Park.
Parker 10; Indian School 6.

Parker 10; Indian School g.
Parkers base ball team has ''come
back. Judge Graves says it lis go
ing to stay back.
After the walloping given the IN
dians by the local team Sunday,
which is the second victory in sue
cession, there seems to be no doubt
of it. They were decisive victories,
both of them, and the fans were
furnished with the best exhibition OF
base ball that has been pulled Off
in Parker for some time.
Until the last two games, many
moons had passed since the Parker
near stars had won game from this
nimble redskins Week after week
the pride of this desert city had gone
down to defeat before the Indians.
The local players seemed unable to
annex a single scalp and the fans
became disheartened.
Apparently the worm has turned.
1t certainly was good class of base
ball played last Sunday when Par
ker beat the Indians 10 to 6. Few
errors were credited to either side
So far as fielding is concerned, the
two teams were about equal 1t was
at the bat that the Parker players
showed their class. Fourteen hi
were credited to the local team
against six by the Indians.
Until the sixth inning the redmen
crossed the plate but once. In THAI.
frame they began to get a line ON
the brand of curves which McAdama
had been serving them. The first
three men up singled and a couple
of errors scored all of them. AT
dhi:s stage of the game Captain Dunn
called Williams to the box and him
self donned the mask and after that
the game was never in danger.
During the first five innings, until
his pitching arm went bad, Clyde
McAdams had the Indians completely
outguessed. He struck out seven
men during those innings and al
lowed but one hit.
The Parker team was much
strengthened by the addition of G..
G. Dunn who has been out of the
game for several weeks. M. Baker
made the hit of the day with the
bleachers when he sprinted over
the foul line out in right field and
grabbed fly that would have been
cut of the question in big league
ball. Saufley played an errorlesG
game on first until he was promot-
ed to fill a vacancy in the staff of
umpires, but failed to connect with
anything but space when he came to
bat.
With a good team i'm prospect for
he summer months and plenty of
competition at the Indian school there
seems no reason why Parker should
not have some real base ball this
| summer
Members of the team have been
busy this week at the diamond and
fine new grand stand has been
erected. The building is large
enough to furnish shade and rest
for most of the Parker population
II has been suggested that pink
lemonade concession be let to the
peanut butcher" making the high
est bid for the grand stand privileges
and in this case refreshments will be
added to the attractions of the ball
park.

grant stand is to be made to pay
the expenses of the game and to get

Where State Failed.

Some of the townships were sur
veyed in 1856, others in 1857, and
the remaining townships in 1879. The
evidence showed, according to the
opinion of Secretary Fisher that
these lands were not returned by
these surveys as swamp and over
flowed lands, but on the contrary
are represented as fertile lands adapt
ed to the uses of agriculture, al
though several are returned as sub
ject to overflow at the time of un-
usual floods.
The opinion holds that the state
should be required to establish the
swamp and overflowed character of
the land by clear, positive and con-
vincing proof. No land should be
considered embraced within the
terms Swamp and overflowed" by
mere implication. When lands are
not reported upon the approved town
ship surveys and plats nor upon the
segregation map and surveys made
by authority of the state as swamp
and overflowed lands, as in this case,
strong presumption obtains that
they were not of that character at
the date of the survey and at the
date of the swamp land grant.
Rich Lands involved.

The Parker post., 1912-05-11
Decision is Final.

The first hearing was held in Los
Angeles before Surveyor-General e.
A. Archer, of the California General
Land Office, and the substance of
his decision, reached after days had
been spent in the examination of
witnesses, was that the land, was
not swamp and oVerflowed land a
at the time of the survey in 1856.
An appeal was taken by the second
to the General Land Office, and it
was confirmed Another appeal was
taken, asking that the case be again
heard by the department, and this
has been denied This settles the
status of the land so far as the go
ernment is concerned, and the hum
dreds of entrymen who filed on the
land under the state law and spent
considerable money in attorney fees
and other costs, get nothing for their
trouble
All of the land has been applied
for, according to the information fur
nished by the Los Angeles land OF
flee, a number of entries being held
up until the contention, now finally
disposed of, was passed on by the
department at Washington.
1t was claimed on behalf of the
state that the evidence was Insult
ficient to Justify the finding that the
periodical overflow of the land by
the Colorado river was not such as
to render it swamp and overfloWed
land unfit for cultivation within the
meaning of the swamp land act, and
in not finding that the greater part
of each local subdivision was shown
to be swamp and overflowed land.

ENTRYMEN WIN
LONG BATTLE.
PALO VERDE LAND LITIGATION
FINALLY SETTLED.
Petition by State of California For
Review Has Been Denied
by Secretary Fisher.

The fight of California to secure
possession of 99,840 acres of land in
the Palo Verde valley, claimed az
swamp lands, has been lost. The
original entrymen who filed ON the
land under the government laws
have been confirmed finally in thei1
right to the acreage. The lands in
volved are among the richest along
the Colorado river, overflowed as
they are in times of unusual flood
by the waters of the Colorado river,
that for ages past has deposited rich
silt upon the land.
The history of the case goes back
to some years ago, when scores of
entrymen went ON the land and per-
fected their holdings under the ma
tional law, and proceeded to improve
it. About two years ago another set
of entrymen attempted to get a foot
hold ON the land by filing entries
under the state law, claiming that
the land was what is known as
swamp and overflowed land. They
went further and secured the aSsis-
tance of the state as an intervenor.
Suit was brought to have the entries
under the government homestead
and desert land law declared invalid
for that reason
