SUNDAYS GAME

If the game Sunday is not a sue cess then whose fault will it be? Surely not F. J. LangoWski's. Has he not labored long and earnestly to whip his aggregation into shape and get them lined up for the fray. Yes, Lefty Harris has gone He got d wire from Santa Rita. New Mexico. and when he opened the envelope enough change dropped to the floor to buy a ticket to the town and an offer of $175 per month also. He took the message and the money and layed them all before Langow- ski and says to the Mesa manager, "Jobbie that there offer looks purity good to me" MT. Langowski thought he could arrive at but one concu- sion and that was that it was cer- tainly a good offer. He told Harris in so many words.
 But all such does not have much to do with the game Sunday. Me- Gowan will pitch. Tempe is going to bring the band and there is going to be one large crowd come from the city by the double buttees. The Mesa lineup will be as follows:
 Brown, second base; Morris. catcher; Core, short stop; Pomerov, center field; Bond. first base; Will Hams, left field; Halvorson, third base; Campbell, right field; McGow- an, pitcher.

TEMPE
SUMMER UNION SERVICES
 OF TEMPE CHURCHES
Congregational, Baptist Christian and Methodist Churches Will Unite
 in Evening Meetings

Churchgoers in Tempe will unite Tn worship Sunday evenings from now on through the summer months, holding their services, in turn each week at the four churches of the town This schedule will go into effect the coming Sunday evening and remain in rogue until the first Sunday in September when each of the pastors will resume their regular evening services in their respective places of worship
 The union meetings will be started day after tomorrow evening at the Christian church. Rev. Charles H Dains of the Congregational church will fill the pulpit.
 The work this summer will be de- cidedly lighter upon the pastors than it was a year ago. To date. none of the four clergymen who are uniting in the union services, have signified any intention of enjoying vacation away from Tempe this summer. Thus it leaves pulpit duty for each of the min isters in the evening but once a month, instead of every other week as was the case a year ago. Rev. R. E. Dunlap If the Christian church will devote a DOT tion of his Sunday evenings to work at Chandler, Ariz.. where he recently organized a church. With the Baptists and Christians of that community working together on the plan. the or ganization is growing rapidly.
 Forenoon services will be conducted for a while at least in all of the Tempe churches as in the past It is possible that within a month or so one or two of the denominations will dis oense with meetings altogether until fall

day. The market was strong all day
but the volume OF trade was light.
Factors in the strength were the de-
