Phoenix high is looking forward to a successful baseball season this year. and from the samples of stellar players that have shown up under the coaching of Herb Hall, the hope is justified. The Coyotes are terrors with the willow and after batting training against pitch CT like Hall they will be able to hit any high school pitcher in the state.
 Two practice games have been played up to date, with outside teams. The first against the Evans school, the Co., votes lost by the close score of to ,. The second game they came out victor ious over the Phoenix National Bank with score of 19 to 2 with Herb Hall pitching two innings out of the six for the Bankers. This shows what the Phoenix boys can do. They are as good in the field as at the bat. They work as if they were a piece of fine machin- cry even though the season has not started as yet. They are in line for this years baseball championship.
 The batteries for this season are Brown and Westfall pitchers. and Ladd, catcher. Brown is even better than last season while Westfall is pitching like a would be big leagues.

Season Just Opening Ought to Prove Good One in Arizona - Sport Must Progress or Die Belief Strong It Will Progress

During the week just passed, news was received here of the opening schedules of the big league baseball clubs. and instantly, life began to be tinged with the color of the great American sport. It is a good sun shiny color, matching the days on which most all the United States goes to the ball game.

Eight Bowling Teams To
 Start "Y" Season Monday

With eight teams filled and a schedule embracing three nights a week for the next seven weeks, the '. M. c. A. Bowling League may consider itself well started after last nights highly business-like meeting.
 In spite of the fact that there are at least five men for each team, there is still a need of bowling tal- ent, and all lovers of rolling are asked to communicate with the physical director of the Y. M. C. A., MT. k. G. Fitzgerald. to find place among the subs. It is quite probable that dur ing the seven weeks some bowlers will be compelled to drop the play. and there will be places for extra men.

 Taking it all together, it looks as though there would be right good enthusiasm for baseball in Arizona this season, and if Phoenix does not lead the procession, it will not be the fault of all those hearty, healthy happy fans who are working on the powers that be, to get things lined up for hum -dinger aggregation.

South 9th street, who killed her husband
last night in the presence OF her 15-year-
old daughter and while three other
children, hiding in another room, shrieked
in terror.
The family occupied two rooms on the
second floor of the 9th street house. Ac-
cording to an ante-mortem statement
made by Louis Lista in the Pennsylvania.
Hospital last night, he returned home
drunk and his wife. angered by his con-

food in the house, attacked him with the
knife. The statement is corroborated by
Catherine Lista, tho daughter, who wit
messed the tragedy, who is held as a ma

Lista had failed to provide for his wife
and children for the last 10 years. His
wife, on the other hand, has the reputa-

trustees OF the estate left by Connor, ex-
pressed the opinion today that he was
the victim of foul play.

He had q poultry farm and everything
he wanted. His death should be investi-

strange to me and believe he was killed.

FAIRGROUNDS CLOSED
BY LACK OF FUNDS
Children Deprived of Recrea-
tion Facilities Through Neg
lect of Councils.

Nine public Fairgrounds have been
closed because OF the failure of Councils
to appropriate sufficient funds to permit
their operation.
| Thousands of women and children are
thus deprived Of their only means of
! pleasure. The swings and caroussels that
were operated last year by the Board
of Recreation are idle because the
Finance Committee of Councils has seen
fit to deny the board the funds necessary
to the employment of teachers and super
visors
While $40, 900 is being spent by Council
men on their junket to San Francisco,
members of the Finance Committee are
explaining that $4,000 needed to copduct
the Fairgrounds is unavailable" The
latter sum is required to pay the teach
ers, without whose services the recrea-
ton centres cannot be opened
Mothers are writing to members Of
Councils. the Board of Recreation and
other officials protesting against the fail
ure OF the city to provide play space
for their little ones. The danger of ac-
cidents prevents the Board of Recreation
from operating the Fairgrounds without
the presence Of teachers or supervisors.
Business mems associations and organi-
matte warfare to force Councils into
action, according to a member of the
Board OF Recreation. Their efforts will
in all probability be futile because no
meeting Of Councils will be held before
September and free recreational facilities
will be denied the public during the sum-
mer months when they are most needed.
The Viaduct playground at 9th and JEFF
ferson streets, is the latest TO be closed.
The Race street recreation pier on the
Delaware River has also been closed. In
past years hospital for sick babies has
been conducted on the pier Mothers
were instructed in the care of infants and
II is believed that the lives of many chill
dren were saved through this activity.

has not been suspended. The Department
of Health and Charities has undertaken

worst in more than 50 years, struck the
town of Smyrna near here, late last
night and caused much loss of property.
Hallstones as large as marbles fell for
20 minutes, running grapes, corn and vege-
tables, and bruising the fruit. The loss
to the farmers is estimated at thousands
of dollars.
Following the hail came a cloudburst
which flooded the streets and the first
floors Of the dwellings, the sewers being
inadequate to carry off the water. Chin
neys and roofs were damaged by wind
and lightning, and many trees and tele-
graph poles were blown down.
