The fans are happy, having seen the

the two big league teams, the Climbers
seem in far better shape than the
Phillies. This is a good argument for

Phillies had warmer weather, and must
now acclmate themselves before the sea-

Joe is there.

Joe Engel showed yesterday against
the Phillies that he is there. He has
improved wonderfully in one season,

they told us a while back that Joe

FOR NEW BRANCH
Local Clubs Demand That ANA

pendent of Baltimore.

Dissatisfaction with the manner in
which they have been treated by the
South Atlantic Branch Of the Amateur
Athletic Union, which embraces Balti-
more and Washington. was the keynote
Of the meeting attended by all but two
athletic organizations Of Washington.
at the Y. NJ. c. A. last night.
Eight Federation clubs were present
to help better conditions. They are:
The Y. NJ. c. A.. Memorial Athletic

1t was the sense of the meeting that
the main body Of the A A. U. be Pc
titioned to grant Washington city a
separate franchise in the union. and to
allow it to conduct its own business.
without dependence on the Baltimore
contingent.
Allege Unfair Treatment.
1t was brought out by ample evidence
that Baltimore has been inclined to
hold all Of the championships of the
South Atlantic section in the Monumen-
tai City-and that when meetings We're
held to decide where such champion
ships should be held. that the Wash
inston vote was ignored at all times
despite the fact that 1t often outnum-
bered that of Baltimore. Every meeting
of the South Atlantic branch officials
has been called to take place in Balti-
more, invariably causing the Washing
ton members to incur the expense OF
a trip to the Maryland city.
These actions, together with numer-
oUs smaller and more aggrevating ones
have been responsible for District ath-
letes pulling away from the A. A. y.
The result Is the organization of the
District Federation.

REORGANIZATION
 IF COMPANY [
Work of Recruiting Mem bcrs for New National Guard Organization at Prescott Is Progressing Satisfactorily.

Seemingly a new and true military spirit has been aroused in Prescott as a result of the holding at Whipple Bar racks of the 1913 cncampment of the National Guard of Arizona. This is evidenced by the information received yesterday that the efforts of Captain H. C. CoykendalI. looking to the reor- ganization of Company F, are about to be crowned with success. And when such a company is organized, the re port states, the organization will be found to comprise the best young men of the city and those that will lend dis tinction to the new company.
 While the National Guard was en- campcd at Prescott two or three weeks ago. Captain Coykendall, then detailed to the post of adjutant, brought the staff officers and the leading business men of Yavapai county into closer re lations and before the camp was brok- en the promise had been made that when another year rolled around Pres colt would be found in line with full company of well trained men.
 The Prescott chamber of commerce, through it's president w. A. Drake, and it's secretary Malcolm Fraser, issued statement that that organization would work hand in hand with the National Guard officers of Arizona to the end that the proposed company should be organized. And Governor Hunt, Ad- jutant General Harris and Colonel Tut hill. as guests of the YaVapai club and the chamber of commerce jointly pledged themselves to assist in every way possible to bring about a rcaliza- tion of the plan.
 Since Captain CoykendaIl has had the opportunity of dcvoting the neccs- sarv time to the work of recruiting for the company, he is said to have re- Ceived abundant assurance that the required number of members of the right class will be easily obtainablc incidentally Doughcrty's Hall in Pres colt has already been leased for an armory and club room and it is planned to offer gymnasium and athletic ad Vantages to the members.
 Bringing members of National Guard company together once a week for drilling, does not tend to keep the organization intact. is the opinion of the majority of National Guard off Cers. So it is the plan wherever a Ma tional Guard company is found to en- deavor to provide a social end that will appeal 10 the lnQlNluudl lncmDClS ana bring them closer together.
 Tn Phoenix an example of the work ings of this plan is shown in the vari- ous social gatherings of the members of Companies and F. Between these two Orga nizations there is always a spirit of friendly rivalry. When one company gives dance the other is likely to come across with some other form of entertainment.
 on Thursday evening Company F members will gather in the armory for a good fashioned smoker at which all members will attend who possibly can. The members will also be per mitted to bring their friends. Besides a talk by Captain oscar Temple, whose experience in Cuba, the Philippines, to say nothing of years of service at home will provide the theme for some inter cstng remarks, there will be music. plenty of pipes and cigars and gen eral good time.
