BASEBALL SPORTS OF ALL SORTS BOXING

Freddie Gilmore and Mike Gibbons
have been matched for a Dattle at the
welterweight notch of I45 pounds at
3 O'Clock, but it is by no means GER
tain that the fight will be pulled off.
Gibbons would have trouble in max
ing such a weight, and Gilmore,
though a good, clever fighter with a
punch, is not in the same flight with
the st. Paul man.
Joie Ray, |. A. C. track star, one OF
of the best middle distance runners
in the country, has been barred from
competition in local amateur boxing
tournaments because of an enlarged
heart. Numerous track and field ath-
letes suffer from this condition, so
Rays malady is not serious. He was
formerly an amateur boxer.
Sixteen games remain to be played
in the International three-cushiOn bill
lard tournament, and any one of
four men has a chance to take the
title. Bill Huey is leading with seven
straight wins. Moore and Daily have
each won six and lost one, and De
Orc, the champion, has five victories
and two defeats. HUey still has four
games to play and three of them with
the leading contenders for the title.
Today's matches are: Kieckhefer
and Hahman, Moore and CaprOn,
DAILY and JeVne, HUey and Ellis.
BucktaiIs of South Bend went into
the lead of five-men teams in the ma
tional bowling tournament at Peoria,
topping 2,847 pins. Eddie Kelly and
Al TOemmel of Chicago shot ahead
in the doubles with a count of 1 ,281,
Kelly doing the heavy work with 675.
The position of the leaders in the
singles are unchanged, Wilson and
LeIlinger being tied for top honors
with 81.

and John Collins keeps his regular
stride, what is to become of Jack
Fourier, a natural 300 hitter, capa-
BILE of averaging his one nit in three
trips to the plate. q,
That is big question now, both to
Manager Rowland and the South
Side fans. The excellent work of
Bunny Brief at first base strangles
the probability that the Frenchman
will cavort there during the coming
campaign. Briefs fielding has been
of the first water and in batting he
shows up against the Coast league
teams as a powerful asset.
Nevertheless, a place must be found
for Fourier. Three-hUndred hitters
are important factors in the success
of any club, and such a rarity with
the White SoX that no man with such
an average can be left on the bench.
Fourier is still with the second
squad, and getting his daily practice
with the stick Against the class Of
pitching presented in California, and
it is good pitching, he has cloUted
for close to 400, numbering many eX-
tra-base knocks among his collection

may fail He was not secured by
Rowland until the training season
was well under way and ChappeH had
demonstrated that he was not made
to head a batting order. The shift
was also necessary because Buck
Weaver, last years bellWetheT, was
III in the hospital.
When Weaver is able to put on a
uniform again it is reasonable to sup.
pose, despite all camp pipe stories to
the contrary, that he will be the first
man to face the pitcher at the bell.
Buck gets on with pleasing regular
ity, and is fast and heady baseTun-,
ner after he strikes the paths. And
it is almost a certainty that Fourier

COST STATEMENT
 NOT YET READY

At the Bard school house mass meeting held Saturday night, June 19, 1915, the statement was made that the official itemized "book ac- count" of the Bard unit of the Yuma project had been prom ised by June 20, 1915, and for that reason it was decided that the advisory committee elected that night hold it's ini- tial meeting Monday night at which time it was expected the itemized "book account" would be before them, where upon they could at once pro- ceed with the work mapped out by the Secretary of the Interior, Franklin K. Lane.
 he committee was prompt ly on hand at the Govern ment Experimental Station, as per agreement. MT. Teas dale was also present.
 But the itemized statement had not been furnished
 When will the water users get. the book account state ment?" an Examiner reporter asked MT. Teasdale this morning.
 "I don't know" was his brief reply.
 Cant you give me some idea as to when you will get it?" he was asked.
 No sir, 1 can not, for 1 do not know myself. The acting project manager after quite a long delay has finally ac- knowledged receipt of my several letters bearing on the subject, but simply said he is not now able to furnish the itemized statement" replied the water users member of the board.
 And there you are!
 A reporter of the Examiner called on the acting project
Arizona sentinel Yuma southwest., 1915-06-24

OlS N0Ah'
 That hundreds of thou. sands of dollars of the Yuma project funds have been vast. ed no sane person will ques. tion for a moment, if he ol she will but "dig into facts Take the table of figures as printed exclusively, and fol the first time in any paper, ir yesterdays Examiner, anc give them close study. Among other items you will find un. der the head of incidental operations" the sum of $751;. GOO, estimated for this years work. Then go to the rec. ords and you will find $lOO,. GOO of this amount is pro. posed to be spent for "mess houses; while under the head of distribution system you will find $51,1OO sci aside-for what?
 Dig down into the records again, and you will find that the Reclamation Service o1 the Yuma project proposes tC pay $1.OO per cubic yard for excavating 1900 yards of dirt and $2O per cubic yard for 32C yards of concrete. For these same classes of items at Carls- bad the Board of Cost Review said it was an outrage to pay only 26 cents for excavatine at Carlsbad, and cut it down to 12.4 cents per cubic yard And the concrete work, the board refused to stand for the 32O yards at Carlsbad at SIS and cut it to $9. (By a very strange coincidence, it is 32C yards here at Yuma.
 These two items alone now show what the local Board ot Cost Review ought to do when they get crack at that much wanted itemized state ment of "book accounts"
 In all human probability, they will do exactly what the Carlsbad board did, and that was, they knocked it from the shoulders of the unit holders and water users and charged it to profit and loss; thus they saved the sum of $241,- 347.71 to those who in perfect good faith settled on the Carlsbad project under the impression that Uncle Sam would treat them fairly. He told them he would so treat them, and he will, just as he

 His reply was: We are moi in position to furnish it at ! all"
 So there you are again!
 Far be it from the Examin. CT to criticise any one unjust ly, and especially the very es. timable young man who now carries the burden of his late chief; the readers of the Ex. aminer are however clamor. ing for all the information they can get pertaining to the Yuma Project. They are es- pecially anxious to learn about the book accounts, item by item, in order that they may know just what has become of the SEVEN MIL LIONS and odd dollars al ready spent on the Yuma pro- ject, and since the publica- tion in the Examiner. the ear. ly part of this month, of the findings of the Board of Cost Review of the Carload, New Mexico, project, the unit holdres are more anxious than ever to know just how that money was spent.
 The book account rendered by the Carlsbad project off |cials gave the total cost as $933,84O.96. After an ex- hauStive investigation of the project books, and the sworn testimony of almost innumer- able. reputable witnesses, the Board of Cost Review in it's report to Secretary Lane very clearly shows that $241,347 of that sum was WilfullV and wantonly wasted, thrown away, or pocketed- it matters not which.
 The Board of Cost Review deSignateS many of the over charges as grave engineer ing error, unnecessary, un- pardonable and inexcusable" negligent watchmen";; jug gling of quantities and unit costs; improper charges" "very excessive; due to the negligence" etc.
 The question now agitating unit holders and water users of the Yuma project is this:
 "1f S241, ,347.71 out of a to- tai of $o33, ,S4O.96 has been wilfully wasted or misapplied down at Carlsbad, how much
Arizona sentinel Yuma southwest., 1915-06-24

Yuma project shall have fin ished their labors it will be found that everything will have been satisfactorily ad- justed, and then Yuma will go forward by leaps and bounds to her proper destiny.
 The records reveal the fact that from January to June, in 1914, the local reclamation service had on it's payroll, on an average, the following:
 Classified educational, 10.
 Classified non-educational, .71.
 Others, 475.
 Making an average for the period, 556."
 During the same period the maximum" number on the payroll was as follows:
 Classified educational, 10.
 Classified non-education- al, 75.
 Others, 825.
 Average, o1O."
 The report goes on to show that "the approximate aver ages per day of common la bor' was S2.OO; but the re- port does not state how many of the 5o6 or the 910 were common" or otherwise.
 "Others," however, proba- bly, came under that head; but to any "man up a tree" it would seem "wilful waste and extravagance'' to tax the unit holders and water users with $1OO,OOO for "mesS houses" for this number of men, or even twice or three times that number, unless it is the intention of the local authorities to so construct these "mess houses" that they will be able to entertain at frequent periods all the unit holders and water users of the entire project.
 These mess house" may be very greatly needed, as we'll as the proposed $2O,0O0 hospital; but most of those residing on the Yuma project either came from Missouri, or passed through that show me" state on their way out here, and, naturally, want to know if it absolutely is neces- sary for their money to be spent in that way.

SAM FRIED'S SON
DIED IN SEATTLE
Death at Holiday Season Saddens Home of e.
Resident OF This County

From Seattle, Wash. comes the
news that since the first of the year
MIR. and Mr.. Samuel Fried, former
we'll known residents north of Osna-
brock, have been called to mourn the
death of their eldest son, Chester, who
has been in poor health the past two
or three years suffering from lung
trouble. He will be remembered as
being almost a grown young man
when the family removed to the west,
the age Of the deceased when he died
being nearly thirty. He had always
made his home with his parents and
since going to Seattle had been engag-
ed IN the real estate business with his
father. The sad blow which has fallen
upon Mr.. and Mrs. Fried with the in
coming of the new year is one in
which they will have the heartfelt
sympathy of their many old friends in
the eastern part Of the county.
