And right there you have the expert
opinion of Adrian Anson, for twenty
years q 800 slugger in the old National
League, former star first baseman and
manager of the famous Chicago Colts
and now a vaudeville monogolist at the
Cosmos Theater, in this city. When
Gap" Anson opens his mouth to speak
or baseball, you may be sure that he is
talking whereof he knows. .sr-z
II can't understand what Is coming
oYer, the old National Leagafts o.. says
Cap rAnson, tanning over the sofuen
days when he was the ginry OF he
league. 1T wasn't this way in my
days. The American League must be
given all credit for gaining an ascen-
dApcy over the old league. 1t has
done h fairly and squarely, too. right
out there on the diamond and under the
sun. But it has done it, anyway.
The New York Giants are not a fit
team to contend for the worlds title
The team Is bad ball club, and has
been for several years. McGraw must
begin at the bottom and remake his
team. He must get hitters, first Of all,
and must weed out his 'boneheads.' :
I
the old league as closely as l do, but
I've noticed dozen stupid plays fea-
turing various players ON the Giants
throughout the season. This is a bad
sign. 1t should not be with a cham
pion ball club.
The saddest part of this last world s
series, tC my eyes, is the loss of prestige
nounc TO be suffered by my old league.
The Giants are sure TO lose their honor
now that Philadelphia and Boston have
beaten them three times running for the
pIue ribbon stakes of baseball. As an
Old National Lacquer 1 am naturally
sore at heart. / wish il might have
oeen otherwise. But IL S now up to Nc
Graw to build up his club, that all
there is to it."
The former pride of the diamond has
. number of distinctly new ideas, new
lnAsmuch as they are not generally
nsard OF nowadays. In the. first place
ne disagrees with those experts who
eIaim that modern baseball is faster than
II was twenty years ago. Furthermore.
he claims that his Chicago team was
q better team than they have today any
where He also expresses his opinions
as to the merits of players IN an inter
esting way. =
''Is baseball better now than il was
when played? Not bit of it, l don't
believe that the modern player knows
az much baseball as they did in my
time. Just to Illustrate. how many
players Of today ever read the rules? a
nandtul' at the most. They can all be
upset by any argument over the rules
OF the game. Few know of the many
ways In which to trap the enemy who
is ignorant OF the rules? Why? Be
cause one player knows as little about
the rules as the other
The first thing / did when man
aged the old Chicago club was to give
out copies of the rules. This was done
every spring. and the players were put
TO the test as to their knowledge of the
rules. On offdays we used to have little
classes on the rules. The natural result
was that 1t was impossible TO fool any
OF us on the rules. We. used to fool the
other fellow, though, frequently

WATER CO. WILL IMPROVE SYSTEM
 IN CLIFTON
Management Authorized To Install Great Reservoir and Eight Inch
 Main Through Hills Addition.

At meeting of the Directors of the Clifton Water & Improvement company in the offices of the con- pany last Tuesday, the deliberations led to the authorizing of the superin- tendent, MT. c. E. Heck, to imme- mentous Improvements in the equip ment and service of the company
 The most important features of the improvement authorized is the erec- tion of a large standpipe just above the Arizona Copper company's hos pital, and the laying of an eight inch main through Hills Addition
 The main will begin at the Library building and will continue to Hills Addition, passing through this resi- dence section from the banks of the Frisco to the southern limits of the suburbs of Clifton.
 The reservoir to be erected will have a capacity of 100000 gallons, and will be erected on the heights of the cliffs above the Arizona Copper company's hospital. This reservoir has been purchased by the company for some time, and erection will soon begin. The directors also au- thorized the superintendent to com municate with manufacturing houses in regard to the installation of in- creased pumping facilities at the pump station. of the company located above Clifton. The increased pres sure made necessary by the cacpac- ity and height of the large reservoir will demand additional power and pumps at the station.
 It is estimated that this improve ment, which is comprehensive, will possibly require two months time, and that it's results will adequately supply the wants of the users of the service, both for fire protection and for other purposes

ARVISO IN MEXICO.
Mexican Who Killed Campbell and Munguia On Eagle Creek Is Sol
 dier in Mexican Federal Army.

Sheriff John D. Patty is in posses sion of positive information that Ar viso, the Mexican who killed Deputy Sheriff Campbell and Deputy Sheriff Munguia on Eagle Creek last year while resisting arrest, is at present serving in the Mexican Federal army in the interior of Mexico.
 Since the escape of ArviSo from this county, on the day following the killing, the sheriff has been untiring in his efforts to locate the double murderer. Every possible clue has been run down. Every suspect has been held awaiting identification. In two instances heretofore suspects have been released but the identifica- tion in this instance is positive and certain.
 Deputy Sheriff Chas. Keppler re- turned from Fl Paso this week where he had been working on the case On account of the revolution in Mex ico, and the fact that Arviso is serv- ing in the Federal army, his eXtradi- ton at this time is impossible, but it is hoped that in the event of in- tervention by the United States, or the settling of the internal troubles in Mexico, the murderer wanted in this county will be extradited.
 It is said that a brother of Arviso is on the police force in JuareZ and aided his brother in crossing the line a few days after the killing on Eagle Creek.

TAX LEVY REDUCED.
State Tax Commission Orders Reduc- ton In Taxes In This County To
 Comply With Law.

In accordaBee with an official or der received by the Board of Super visors of this county this week the tax rate for all state and county pur- poses has been ordered reduced from $1.25 on each $100 valuation to $1O5.
 This reduction was ordered by the commission as a result of a com- plaint filed by the large taxpayers of the county reciting the fact that the board had not followed the law in making the tax levy for this year. Upon an opinion delivered by the at torney general the commission sus- tained the complaint from this coun- ty and ordered reduction to a figure that would be only ten per cent great CT than the amount of taxes raised for county purposes last year. It is estimated that this order by the commission will mean a reduction of between sixty and seventy thousand dollars in taxes this year.

MORRISON ID QUIT HIS OFFICE IN
 DECEMBER
UNITED STATES DISTRICT AT ToRNEY COMPLIES WITH RE-
 QUEST FROM WASHINGTON.

Confirmation of the resignation of J. B. Morrison as United States at torney of Arizona was received in this city yesterday, in letter in which this official stated he has con- piled several days ago with the re- quest made from Washington to re- tire. MT. Morrison's term of office will not expire, however, until De- cember, by which time his successor is expected to be ready to assume the duties. In the meantime he is attending the session of the federal court at Phoenix, and will probably be permitted to continue his official business until the disposition of cer- tain important litigation is closed.
 He writes that his resignation was under consideration and would have been transmitted in a few weeks later in any event, owing to the close approach of his four-year term expiring and in view of the change of administrations. The successor of MT. Morrison, it is stated, will be announced in short time, and ac- cording to current report, Senator Ashurst is to name T. L. Flynn of

 < The dead man was a stranger to
 the Mexican population of Duncan, never before having been seen in the
 town. An examination of his pock- cts revealed no weapons, he having even no pocket knife. In his pock- cts were found the stubes of labor check book, issued by the Arizona Copper company, the last date in the book being September 30. Sheriff Patty, who returned from Duncan Wednesday, brought with him the stubs, and from the Mexican's num- Der on the stubs it was learned from the accountants of the Arizona Cop per company that the mans name was Desis Martinez, and that he had been employed as laborer by this company for several months.
 Sheriff Lowenbruck sustained an ugly scalp wound from the blow struck him with the heavy iron bar in the hands of the Mexican, seven stitches being required in the sew ing of the wound. The desperate character of the dead man was ap- parent from his savage attacks upon the three men. The unusual strength of the Mexican, shown in his encoun- ters with the three men, is regarded as evidence that he was suffering from dementia. He was buried at Duncan Wednesday,

On Wednesday, the $5,OOO, 2:12 trot will occur, and the free-for-all pace is slated for that day. Never have such horses met in the west in one race like Don Pronto, Leata J, Joe Patchen II, King Daphne, and Oul Colonel
 Don Pronto with a record of 2:O2A and Leata J, 2:03 are supposed to be the pace-makers and Our Colonel can go a 2:02 clip himself and Joe Patch en II has a record of 2:03A and worked out at the State Fair Grounds the other day mile in 2:04. He is expected to be able to go in 2:02 on November 5.
 The $5,OOO> copper stake 2:12 trot which will be raced for on Wednesday November 5th is one of the richest stakes that has ever been offered at the State Fair and has 25 entries.
 Out of this great list there will be enough trotters to give the greatest trotting race ever seen at the Fair grounds. Albaloma and May Mack are already here and the others are on the way.
 Thursday is Automobile Day, with Barney Oldfield, Teddy Tetslaff and Cooper at the wheel. It is not nee essary to say more.
 Four days of the greatest attrac- tions ever offered to the public.
 In additions to what has been men, toned above are great special at fractions Indian Day, Comboy relay races and with some fifty horses to compete in the great running races on the half mile track. Nothing like it was ever offered to the public be- fore.
 Great Attendance Expected.
 That there will be the greatest at tendance at the Arizona State Fair this year than ever before is evidenc- ed by the tremendous demand for boxes. Every box was sold six weeks before the fair opened and now there is a general clamor for re served seat tickets in the grandstand.
 There are seven hundred reserved seats in the grandstand and it looks as if very one of them would be sold as soon as they are placed on sale.
 Reserved seats are solo at 50 cents each, which also gives admission to the grandstand They will be placed on sale on October 31st, three days before the opening of the fair
 Those who want seats reserved should write to some friend to have them reserved for the days on which they expect to attend if they are not close enough to look after the mat ter themselves.
 Never before in the history of the Fair has there been such a demand for seats so long in advance of the Fair.
 Never before have such splendid at fractions, nor so many of them, been offered for one admittance. Never before has so many high class horses been entered in a racing program.
 Some six car load of horses have already come to the Fair grounds. These are the cream, the winners at other Fairs and they have come early that they may be rested and prepared for the great races in which they are to compete.
