 ANTI ALIEN LAND LAW

California he'd a perfect right to eX- clude the aliens of certain classes from holding lands inside the state according to the decision of the judges after hear ing two high school debating teams work over the problem at assembly yesterday. The question was: Re solved that California was justified in passing anti alien land laws to pro hibt the Japanese from holding title to land in the state
 The affirmative was upheld and successfully so-by the senior class representatives: Richard Schofield and Lily Westervelt Charlotte Crandal' and Garnett McCaleb of the junior class did the negative side of the de- bate very creditably.
 It was a split verdict.

Arthur Anderson, Newest Applicant for Place with Phoenix Team
 Lefty Anderson Another

Dick Sometimes called "FatD Yates, the manager of the Phoenix regular baseball team, is going to have chance to try out another An derson for his pitching staff for the yesterday by a board of scouts that had been sitting on the Phoenix Postoffice- Phoenix Maroon game of Saturday, at which Arthur Anderson young middle westerner, was tried out in the box. Anderson played with the postal clerks. as his big -a- da brud," Earnest, is the assistant postmaster. The game was a mighty good one, in which the postal clerks lost, II to 10, after the score had been tied all over again in nearly every inning.
 In Lefty Anderson, the skinny southpaw, whom he worked couple of innings in the first game against the Maroons, Yates has one mighty good looking piece of timber It is his desire to make up his team out of Phoenix material as much as pos sible. and that's why young Andy has been suggested. The new hurler will probably have some tryouts with Big Danahe within a short time.

As the 1914 baseball season ap- breaches, interest in the great base ball war now going on is heighten- ed by the fact that a number of ball players have signed both with the outlaws and with the major leagues. President Gilmores recent statement, that he had signed 142 players, more than half of whom were either former major leaguers or were taken from the major leagues, seems to mean that more big leaguers are claimed by both sides than had at first been sup posed.
 A careful compilation of players reported to have gone to the new league shows 113 names. In the list appears fifty-four major leaguers If forty of these appear in Federal uniforms that will make five to each team-not a poor showing The i list includes twenty three American leaguers, thirty-one from the Ma tional, nine from the American as sociation, fifteen from the Interna- tiOnal and nineteen from minor { leagues of organized" baseball, total of ninety seven taken from the ranks of the Organizat tions. Others now signed are Federals or recruits; | but the outlaws have announced
 their determination to get more minor leaguers.
 At least eight of the players
 claimed by the Federals are also | claimed by the majors. The list
 contains the names of three mem-
 bers of the St. Louis Americans. i Catcher Agnew. Pitcher Baumgard-
 her and Outfielder Gus Williams. ! These men are reported to have
 signed an agreement with the Fed
 erals previous to the close of last
 season. Since then they have sign
 ed with the Browns.
 Other players who may be the cause of a legal fight are Enos { Kirkpatrick, Brooklyn infielder:
 Catcher Killifer of the Phillies. and King Cole of the Yankees. They
 are all signed up by the Federals.
 and Gilmore has announced his de- i termination to prevent Killifer from playing with the Phillies, if neces- sary, by injunction proceedings.
