ton upon innocent wives and children,
intends to flourish somewhere during
the world s fair.
Let it be remembered that the coun-

man to conceive will be used to snare
and nrislead these girls in order to Sc
cure them.

ADJUSTMENTS
COLUMBIA MATINEE

When I state to The Republican that scores of ladies iron, Tempe, Glendale and points in the valley are attending our Saturday matinees, not to mention hundreds from the city itself, I am merely stating in a mild way backable facts, and while our Saturday afternoon inducements are little short of impossible-tha is. from a business standpoint-we are not going to hedge now that we have created the matinee habit in Phoenix and vicinity.
 Aside from the souvenirs that we give the ladies who are attending the Saturday afternoon performances we find that the attractions are closely censored and commented upon, and one of my chief delights is to stand at the door as the hundreds file out I-I stand there when the show is good-and overhear the remarks, many made especially for my benefit.
 But testing aside, if you want to see sight good for any calamity shouter, drop around to our Satur- day afternoon session and note the strongest argument in favor of a happy community-welld dressed wo- linen and children, and all in the best

 Did you notice an improvement in Mr. Griffen's acting? I loathe saying anything unpleasant and was dread fully distressed when someone told me I had been too severe on MT. Griffen and should have overlooked the fact that he couldn't hold the hall after catching it. Really l couldn't sleep for the longest time worrying about it. but it's all right now. Mr Griffen hasn't told me so but he must have agreed with me for yesterday he was properly careful. Wasn't it sweet of him?
 A new pitcher, MT Herbert Hall, made his appearance and after we say the glorious way he pitched we were disgusted to think we laughed at him when he first faced the grand stand. He is very tall and consid- cred very handsome - but he knows it. You knew he thought so and it was all we could do to keep from calling We think MT.

Phoenix Team Actually Cap lures Admiration of Lady Sport Writer by Magnifi- cent Way in Which Silver City Was Stopped
By Sally Jacobs

Not soul knew or cared that it was past five o'clock and that night was quickly descending. Just before dusk in the last half of the eleventh inning Phoenix scored and with a mighty sigh of thanksgiving and cheer of content we rushed home through clouds of dust in time for the last call to dinner. All the fans agreed that yesterdays ball game was the best ever played here and for once I think they were right. Though I noticed a larger attendance of Wo- men than were present on .the pre- ceding day as there was plenty of room especially on the grandstand which should be packed. for really the play warrants a capacity house. Ev- eryone who hasn't heart trouble should be there, but I really don't see how one could live through such tense and anxious moments unless they have perfect health. Several times, when Silver City reached third base-weIl the sensation is too awful to describe and would read like that vulgar yellow journalism which we all abhor
