BASE BALL TEAM IS
REORGAN|zEO...ELECT
QU|NL|M As MANAGER
New Practice Grounds Made
Near Depot...Expect to
Play Several Games

The base ball game made q hit Sun.
day with the crowd and the boys played
good game. With the exception OF
one or two weak spots the home team
showed some class over the game OF
Saturday.
The game Saturday was lost ia the
first two innings when the III Paso boys
batted Lewis-the imported mound ar.
tist from Amarillo-out of the box,
making eight runs in those two innings
Bramlett, or home twirler, was put
in to stop the fire works, but the Wis
itors had too big a lead TO overcome
and the score stood II 20 3 in favor Of
FL Paso at the final count. Bramlett
pitched fine ball and let III Paso down
with but three hits during the last seven
innings The rain which fell about l 80
put the grounds in bad shape and both
teams should be commended on the class
II bail played under such trying cir.
cumstances.
sunday afternoon the same teams
played fast game which was enjoyed
by good crowd of fans. Bramlett
went the full route, striking out seven.
teen and letting the visitors down with
eight hits. The home team landed on
the new twirler put in by Fl Paso and
made Ave scores in the first inning. Fish
,r, tha pride Of the Southwestern team
was put in but was unable to hold our
boys down. The score was reversed and
stood II to in favor of Tucumcari.
ONE Of the local fans became en-.
| thusiastic over the showing made Sun
| day afternoon and a meeting was called
for Monday evening when an organiza.
ton was perfected and the base ball

ers will be tried out in practice and a
practice ground will he made across the
railroad track from the depot where ev-
erybody who knows how TO handle a
mitt or chase a fly is invited to come
out every evening to give the team a
practice game or two every week.
Geo. Quinlin, n true base ball fan,
man who knows the game and will
put forth every effort to give Tucum.
carl a team she will be proud to claim,
has consented TO take the management.
Other officers and directors will be G.
lected an deverything will be done in
business-like manner.
| w. r. Steckman, an oldtimer has been
chosen TO captain the team and Mr..
James has been retained as treasurer.
New men or even boys are invited
to come out and play ball. There are
many good base ball players who have
never developed their talents and their
loss has been great both financially and
and from pleasure standpoint. Many
n man has made fortune out of base
ball playing and there is more demand
this year than ever before for men who
can play the National game. There
are several men who are drawing more
than $4,000 per year for few hour s
work or play each day.
Come out and practice and IL you
are found deserving you will be given a
place on the regular team. Tucumcari
needs you and you will be benefited II
you come out.

ONE MANS OPINIONS
BY N. D. COCHRAN.

Il
saloon fight has been making ire
mendous Roadway in recent years,
and it is quite generally believed we
will soon have national fight for and
against prohibition.
The chief beneficiaries of all of the
saloon evfls-the men who get the
hog end of the saloon proft-haven't
come in for their share of the pound
ing. refer to the brewers.
Most of the brewers are rich,
prominent and eminently respectable.
Most of the saloonkeepers are little
more than hired clerks for the brew
erS. .....-
Many saloonkeepers are set up in
business by brewers, who own the
leases and bar fixtures, control the
licenses and have the saloonkeepers
at their mercy.
They can fix the price the saloon
keeper must pay for his beer; they
can compel him to sell no beer but
particular brand; and through their
organization they can put any saloon
keeper out of business who gets in a
row with the brewery that owns him.
The Saloonkeepers don't advertise;
hence they have no standing in the
newspapers. The brewers do adver-
tise; and they do have standing with
the papers. They also have high So
cial standing, because of their wealth.
Yet any brewer who is selling beer
to.a vice resort, and controls the lease

a business partner of the keeper of
the resort.
Not many saloonkeepers get rich.
The rich ones are the exception, not
the rule. Rich brewers are the rule,
not the exception. They play cinch
game.
They permit the unionization of
their employees, and then call on, I'M
ion labor to help them vote wet. Then
thew iOin hands with other big en-

But much of that degeneration is due
to the greed of the brewers, and the
fact that small wages Tor profits)
drive saloonkeepers to resort to all
possible expedients to rake in few
extra nickels.
The average saloonkeeper may not
know it, but he is a low wage victim
himself-a slave to the brewer. And
nearly every saloon is political CEN
ter from which is played the brewers
political game.
And the saloonkeeper has to stand
all the odium of the business.

NAMING THE NEW DEFENDER
Whatever Yacht May Be Called Rests
Entirely With Owners or syndI-
cates-Good Suggestions.

Now that series of races for the
Americas cup are assured for 1914 and
work is under way on at least one de-
fender, the problem OF naming the
yacht which will represent this coun-
try in the international event arises.
Sir Thomas ]. Upton has chung
tenaciously to the name Shamrock
with numerals added, and this coun.
try's craft have had political and his
torical names. including the Puritan.
the Mayfiower and the Columbia, as
well as such other characteristic
names as the Volunteer. the vigilant
and the Reliance, not to mention some
of the earlier defenders, the Sappho,
the Madeline, the Mischief, the Ameri-
ca and the original Columbia.
While the question of a name for
each of such defenders as may be
built rests entirely with the individual
owners or syndicates, the suggestion
of name or names for the American
vessels built for the honor Of uphold
Ing American supremacy on the high
seas is one which will soon attract the
NeNSASAOh VI NhO yuShIklB lIdlcTully.
There are many American Indian
names particularly suitable to be ap-
piled to Americas cup defenders, and
there are other branches in the sphere
of yacht nomenclature which may be
drawn upon.
The first requisites are that the
names suggested be easily pronounce
able and not too long
Interest In the new yachts that may
be built for the honor of defending
the Americas cup is not limited to
the comparative few who will sub
scribe toward their construction and
maintenance, but in reality they will
become national institutions, and this
will cause all who are in any way
interested In the sport to at least con-
tribute a suggestion for a suitable
name for the defender.
