IS 70DAY'S BILL
Cleggs Will Take on Pas
times and Bedells -Elec
tries Mix Tomorrow.

The Claud Cleggs, leaders of the
City league, and Pastimes, who occupy
second place, will battle this after
noon on the Athletic field. Both of
these teams have been playing AL ball
this season and a good game can be
expected today.
Mullin, who pitched the paint boys
to victory in the Fourth of July game
will probably be sent in to trim the
pool shooters, while Harris, who was
also victorious in the Fourth of July
game, will be the opposing slab artist.
The game scheduled for yesterday
afternoon between the Cleggs and Be-
dells was postponed on account of vet
grounds and will be played off after
the first game today. The standing of
the teams does not include this game,
as it was protested by the Bedells,
who claimed that the Cleggs used
Gardner of the Pastimes without the
permission Of the league authorities.
Little Rock Boys Tomorrow.
Arrangements have been completed
whereby the Electrics, leaders of the
Little Rock City league, and Electrics,
tailenders of the Pine Bluff City
league, will cross bats at the Athletic
field tomorrow afternoon at o'clock.
Manager Young of the local Elec-
tries has strengthened his teams and
all the weak spots have been filled
with artists of the game. There is
quite a rivalry existing between the
two teams because the locals were
given a terrible trimming by the Lit
tie Rock bunch at the capital city
three weeks ago. The locals declare
that revenge is sweet and a good
game can be expected.

ed limit of 135 pounds. Both boxers
declared themselves confident of Win
ming the championship and both said
they felt in the pink of condition.
Welsh was favorite in the betting

ASBESTOS, THE UNIQUE MINERAL
Newly Developed Deposit in Arizona
Said to BE Of Remarkably
High Grade.

Asbestos is one of the great sur
prises in the mineral kingdom. On &C
count of it's finely fibrous, flexible,
incombustible character it is spun into
warn and woven into cloth for the
clothing of firemen and foundry men
who are exposed to heat that would
burn ordinary clothing. 1t is extern
sively used for thcater curtains and
has saved many audiences from the
horrors of conflagration. A report by
J. S. Diller of the United States geo
logical survey, on the production OF
asbestos in 1918. shows that while the
United States produces little raw as
bestos. it is the largest producer OF
objects manufactured from asbestos.
Canada is the heaviest producer OF
raw asbestos, and more than half the
worlds supply is brought into the
United States from Canada and manu-
featured into various commercial
products.
In 1913 the United States produced
LOO short tons. There were two pro-
ducers in Georgia, both furnishing as
bestos of the amphibole type, and one
in Arizona is just beginning to pro-
duces5 ichrysotile The difference be-
tween the two types is merely IN
chemical composition.
A notable event of the year in the
asbestos industry of the United States
has been the opening of this new To-
cality in Arizona, about 80 miles
northeast of Globe, for the high grace

Tells Schoolboys Not to Be Too An

Of Success in Hurting.
(By Frank G. Menke.)

New York, J,ply 7:-Everybody
seems to be entered in the grand lit
tie guessing contest-"What's the
matter with Walter Johnson?" And
early everybody has a different haz-
ard.
Some think that Walt has hit the
chutes-that he amt what he ulster
be as a pitcher, and that he'll never
come back. They point out that Walt
has been on the firing line for about
eight years and doing so much firing
that hes rua out of ammunison-
aEd that he's through.
Others think that Waits just bit
worked cut-that he's having an "Off'
year, as is the" case with mast ball
players. They think that he'll come
back next year with the same stuff
as of old.
Another faction thinks that Walt
is going to hook up with the Feds
next year and that, on that account,
he's quite Indifferent about what he
does this year. They pcint out that
Walt has been promised d huge sal
airy by the Feds next year, no matter
what he does in the pitching line this
year, and, therefore, he's Just taking
things easy this year.
What's your guess? Ile contest IS
free.
