TEMPE AND PHOENIX HIGH
MEET ON DIAMOND TODAY

Play Ball.
Again the baseball fans will hear
that beloved expression, for today the
Valley High School league opens its
season when the Phoenix high Coyotes
meet the Tempe high school team at
Tempe, and the Sugar Kings from
Glendale journey to Mesa, where they
play the Mesa team. Though these
are the first scheduled games, they
are not the first that We school
teams have played. Tempe high has
played several outside schools and is
in fine shape. The Coyotes have also
played several games, and under Herb
Halls coaching have rounded into
form.

good one, if the reports that have
come in are true, as it is said that the
Glendale team is a peach and that
the Mesa boys are in fine form. The
game will start at three o'clock and
will be umpred by a man sent from
Tempe
The CoyoteTempe game is bound
to be full of pep, as a great rivalry
exists between the two schools and
both are out for blood. Coach Jen-
nirgs has been working his Tempe
boys hard and has them in the pink
of condition. They are as fast, if
not faster than they We're last year
when they carried off the honors
over the Coyote team. Hall hasn't
been idle with his Coyotes, as he has
