The twenty second annual tourna- ment of the Arizona Sportsmans asso- citation will be held this year at the fair grounds November g, 10 and Il, start ing each morning at s:S0 and contin- uing until the days program is com pleted The events will be over before the races start in the afternoon, giving the shooters and spectators time to get their lunch and not miss the big fair.
 This tournament is already regist- cred with the interstate association, which has donated seven fine solid gold and silver medals to be shot for. and also donate s100 to be added to the purses. The Phoenix Gun club will add s750 to the purses Programs will be ready for distribution next week, and may be had by addressing Dell Morrell, secretary of the gun club, care of Pin nev S, Robinson's gun store
 The Phoenix Gun club will hold a practice shoot at their traps at the fair grounds tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, at which a full attendance is desired, as a business meeting will be held right after the shoot. Visiting shooters are always welcome

 Deer and turkey season opens De- tober first. and closes December 18th. Hunting parties who are going to the Mogollons and White mountains are already starting, to be on the ground the day the season opens.
 Pinney & Robinson are offering a
 30-30 Winchester carbine for the first deer legally killed this fall, and brought to Phoenix and skinned in their show window. This has aroused consider able interest among the deer hunters.
 Duck shooting is a good deal like fishing-some get lots of them and
 others don't. Is it luck, or simply skill? One man gets 15 or 20 in the
 morning flight, and another man two miles away heard lots of shooting, but
 the birds were too high that went over him-he only got a mud hen.
 Shoot quail after october 18th; there are more than ever this fall-they have had a good summer. Deputy game wardens are after the keen sports" who always kill a few birds before the season opens, and there are few vio- latiOns of the law.
 Doves, ducks and rabbits are being brought in by the hunters every day. A six pound real old fashioned black bass was shown in town last week, caught in the Salt river and excited consid- erable interest among the followers of Isaak Walton; it was one of a nice string, the others ranging from a pound and a half to five pounds.

|KEYOTfs' CLASS SHOWS UP IN FIRST ScR|MMAGE
Two Teams Buckle Down to Hard Knocks. for First Time This
 Season

After the first two weeks of pre-. liminary practice. the football squad of the high school has arrived at the scrimmaging stage, and is beginning to show some signs of real class.
 Yesterday afternoon on the grounds at Sixth and Washington streets, two picked teams met in a short practice scrimmage. The boys worked hard and in their performance signs of an all star team are more than visible.
 Coach Geary and Assistant Coach R. R. Boardman are running thei- two teams hard, developing so much new material that no position on the team is cinched by the old war horses.
 There are about forty aspirants for positions. with promise of more be- fore long. Captain Ed Brooks, An derson, c. Tweed, E. Doris, Galpin and little Luke are doing brilliant work behind the line, while on the line Betts and Marian are showing up well as ends. Kohl, Vinsel, Sausage Wilky and Feel are fighting hard for the positions of guards and tack ies. Ellis, last years center, is back after that position but Lewis is giv- ing him q good run for his money
 Others who are showing class are Evans, Pinney, LaTourette, Ross Relsher, Osborn, McGinnis. $. An derson, Comstock, Chase. Buck Geare and DetWeiler.
 Let rival schools beware because the Coyotes are on the warpath and are determined to win the champion ship again this year.

 Nothing so appropriate for Mesa to wager as some cotton, seeing as they have so much of it over there. And now that the Buy a Bale" movement is on, cotton is in demand, so why shouldn't it be a good bet?
 It looks as though Mesa were pret- ty confident of winning, to risk such a valuable thing, and maybe there is some underground information that hasn't got to Phoenix yet. Still, the Solongs are willing to be the im movable mass against which the ir resistible force is to be directed. And you know what happens when them there'' kind of things meet.

"Aw, nav, nothin' doin'." We got Leo Togneri wrong when we said that he was for a double header Sun day. And after it had been agreed that such big slice should be cut off for the baseball fans, the Phoenix captain went and called it off, cause he said, nine innings is enough to see between two teams. and any way, it was no cinch to kick around for more than one game. Note Captain Tog is player
 Few of the Phoenix motorists de- serve more the honors of winning road races and large ten quart silver cups and things than do Shorty Ere 'neau and Avis, his mechanician.

As to the dispute over the two routes for the Los Angeles to Phoe- mix race, we have nothing to say. We already said it. Consolidation of interests and the settling on the southern route-even if it has to be direct from Ontario to Yuma, leav- ing out San Diego, is what the Phoenix board of trade hopes for, and apparently one of the two all ternatives proposed by the Mer- chants and Manufacturers assoc:a- ton. Now cometh San Diego's chamber of commerce with the threat of another race. Said threat has been known to influence the Los An
