Mohave County miner., 1914-07-11

cher for Oatman, was one of the best hurlers Kingman has ever seen. He had all the goods and played good ball at all times.
 After the game of ball the basket ball girls of Needles and Kingman lined up for one of the best games of the year. The Kingman team was com posed of Ethel and Mable Grizelle, Fannie Lovin, Matte and Clara Will kins, and Ruth Musser. We have not the names of the Needles young ladies composing the team. The game went to Kingman by score of 10 to 6. Kingman presented the strongest line up of any team in northern Arizona, and it is doubtful if there is any basket ball team in the State that can take the palm from them. While the indiv idual members of the team had little chance to practice together they all worked aggressively and their quick recoveries and accurate throwing to goal was really wonderful. Kingman justly feels proud of the only team that won prize during the two days, when put up against foreign competi- tion.
 After this game there was some fancy riding and a race through Fourth street. The main horse race was won b,y tho Dov;o or tbo Corrou, Cood,,,;,, entry. A great crowd saw the race, every foot of the way being lined with people and machines.
 In the evening came the eats at the Ford garage, where three hundred guests could be seated at time. As we have told of this delightful feast in our opening we will pass on to the stunt that Ed. Shaw and his committee had prepared for the occasion, that of an old fashioned gambling hall, with its frontier day accompaniement. The gambling devices had been established in the basement of Elks hall, and there men and women congregated to see how gambling was carried on in the old days. There was faro bank, pre- sided over by dealer and lookout, with the customary case keeper; roulette wheel, crap game, and all the para phernalia that usually went to make up the frontier gambling hall. And every one played the game, and while it was onlp phony money the women gambled just as earnestly as though it was the real thing. The dancers deserted the mazes of the waltz and turkey trot to take a shy at dame fortune. While some of the women played faro bank with both hands others played as care fully and earnestly as though they would have to board at the school house and sleep in the street if they lost. And when it was all over the crowd re- turned to the dance and enjoyed them- selves to late hour. Music had been arranged for and dances were carried on at the Odd Fellows and Elks halls, which allowed more freedom to the dancers. The evening was one of great enjoyment, the lovers of music and the dance remaining to the last.
 Sunday morning band concert in the streets by the Oatman and Needles bands brought out the big crowds. As soon as the concerts were over foot races, horseraces and every conceivable stunt was pulled off in the streets.
 At one o'clock the ball game between the Ryan ball team of Needles and Kingman was played on the local grounds, Needles won this game b, a score of II to B. While Tommy pitched good ball the team played a ragged game. Needles boys played an ex- ceptionally good game, aside from the second inning, and deserved to win. This team has played a number of games in Kingman this year and are quite the favorites with the boys.
 After the game three entry relay race was run, Atha Davis winning the event. The runners had to pass through certain staked sections and two of the entering teams were disqualified Davis quick work in changing saddles was the feature of the race.
 Mir. Tyree, of Blackberry, won the bronco busting contest, sticking to his mount like porous plaster. The big crowd enjoyed these races more than any other of the many stunts, many of those present never having seen a
