H0RR|D!---UNDREssED
IN PUBLIC SQUARE

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 6.-Roy Cole
man will be tried in police court today
on the unique charge of undressing an
automobile On the public highway. And
he certainly stripped it bare, If the
owner of the car is to be believed. He
got the lamps, the extra tire, the toll
box, the storage battery, and even
triel to unscrew the windshield. All
this stuff he was putting into a sack,
preparatory to hasty getaway when
the owner covered him with revolver
If 1 had come five minutes later,
there would have been nothing left
but the chassis" said the owner.
What I don't understand is why he
didn't save himself time by trying to
take the whole car in the first place.

VARIOUS THINGS DETER
SEEING GEORGIA" TOUR

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 6.-Bad weather
and incidentally the objection of For
syth county to negro chauffeurs,
brought the North Georgia Seeing
Georgia" tour to an abrupt conclusion
yesterday, and it was pretty be-
draggled minority which rolled into
Atlanta.
The trip was interesting enough, but
circumstances pointed to a lack OF
judgement in starting out so late in
the year, when the rains interfered
with sightseeing, with progress along
the roads and with the entertainment
of various kinds that had been provid-
ed in the various counties for the Wis
itors.

By THE CUB

Whether or not the baseball game that is to be played this morning between the Tempe High school and the Phoenix Coyotes, is to be the last game of the season, will be de cided by the result of the game. If Tempe High wins this game it will give them the undisputed title of the champions of the Salt River valley, but if this mornings game results in q victory for the COyotes-it means that the two teams will be tied for first place and then the tie will have 10 be played off.
 It is a little unusual for the high school games to be played before noon but on account of the grounds being occupied by the Indians in the afternoon the game was changed to the morning. This game promises to be one of the best of the season. Tempe holds the state championship, having won it at the university week series at Tucson. But only week back Glendale defeated the Tempe boys, to 3-which defeat by the way was the first inflicted against Tempe this year. The Phoenix boys are going in to fight for victory and if it is possible to win over the South Siders again the Coyotes will do it
 The Tempe team is composed of boys that have played together for ten or twelve years-ever since the days they attended kindergarten to- Sether It is the same way with every small town of this country, where the boys stay together for practically their whole lives. They oe machine and it is no wonder that the other schools kinda fear the South Siders. To cap the climax there are members of that team who have had experience with regular teams and this gives them the advantage. But inspite of this advantage the Coyotes are going on the diamond to try again to win from the championship team of Arizona.
 The game starts at 1O:15 sharp in the Indian school grounds.
