AS CRUCES informally opened

As CRUCES informally opened its
home season in the Rio Grande
- league at Rio Grande park Wed
nesday afternoon, when the Phoenix
Solons beat the Farmers, to 2, IN
the best pitching exhibition seen mere
this season. The formal opening OF
the Las Cruces team is set Tor Las
Cruces. What was to be the longest
opening parade in the history Of or
gained baseball started from the II
Paso postoffice shortly after 10 o'clock
Thursday morning and went through
the business streets and thence on 70
the valley city, where the opening
game is scheduled to start at O'clock
All the Las Cruces stores and busi-
ness houses will be closed and the
little valley city will be out in force
TO celebrate the first game OF league
baseball in that city. The parade, when
IT left Ell Paso, consisted Of seven au-
tCmObiles, but others were to join en-
route
Hard Luck for Beer.
It was real tough luck for Sammy
Beer to have to lose Wednesdays game,
for Sammy gave his best exhibition OF
pitching Of the season and is evidently
rounding into his true form. He was
opposed by Ed McCreery and the only
real difference between the pitchers
was that the big Scion had the better
OF bad errors at short and Joe Seaton
muffed a pair Of chances at second
Sam GOldie got one error in the official
score for his slow fielding Of Nc
Creery's long drive in the fourth, bul
Sammy was guilty Of an error Of Omls-
mission, if not of commission, in the
handling Of Scanlon's long hit, which
went for home run GOldie tipped
II with his fingers, but was unable 70
get a grasp of it. A bit Of smart field
ing would have held Scanlon at second
or third but he managed TO slide home
an inch or so ahead Of the throw
Four Were Scratch Hits.
Beer certainly had speed to burn in
the opening inning. when he famed
the first three men TO face him OF the
nine hits off him in the game, four
were Of the scratch variety for the
wind carried several high flies safe
when. with good weather conditions,
they would have been sure outs.
MeCreery Leads in StrikeOufs.
McCreery tried to duplicate Beers
stunt in the last of the first inning
and started by tanning SeatOn and Nc
AvOy. Hurley, however, refused to fan,
but lifted a fly to Demaggio- In the
matter Of strikeOuts. McCreery had
slightly the better Of the argument,
as he famed "A to Beers s. Each man

DIAMOND DUST.



Phoenix IS not going to scare the other
clubs Of the league. McCreery isn't going
TO pitch every game as he did Wednesday
and the Solons didn't look an awful lot bet

faster in fielding and good the paths.
The Farmers, however, did not play up 10

I OUIS CHEVROLET, a famous
racing driver, viii compete in
the indianapolis 500 mile race with
a car that is described as "hardly
larger than a baby carriage; weighs
1000 pounds and carries a motor
with a piston displacement of only
1O3 cubic inches. The car has prac-
tically no inspiring weight, even the
diferential being mounted on the
chassis and the drive taken through
a series of universal joints. Its
speed is estimated at 100 miles per
hour" It looks as though size isn't
everything after all
OWEN MORAN has bobbed up
again in the world of fistiana.
He is matched to meet Lew Edwards
for the English featherweight title
in London, May 81. A purse of
$500 has been put up. Even the
losers end of that purse will be like
found money to Moran these days.
There was a time when Moran was
rated as one of the best feather
weights IN the world and but for a
trick of the foxy Abe he might have
beaten AtteH in their second fight
for the championship at San Fran
cisco. Owen went into the light
weight class and fought Wolgast Tor
the title but then he began to slide
and he has not been heard from for
a couple of years.
"CIANTS have the greatest collec-
ton of ivory trophies in base
ball" says an eastern scribe. Well,
we notice that they are not leading
the National league by long shot.
A MATEUR boxing champions are,
as a rule, pretty much of a joke.
The expense of going to the tourna-
ments is generally too much for the
ambitious youngsters and COMPETE
ton is generally confined to a small
radius around the tournament city.
Recently, the Panama-Pacific exposi-
ton management financed trip for
the present amateur champions" Of
the east to the coast. On their
arrival there, the "amateurs" got in
bad by demanding prize money for
competing in club events. Then they
went on to Los Angeles, where two
of them were beaten in Jig time by
Los Angeles youngsters. The title
Of champion" amounts to very
little in the amateur boxing ranks.
SALT LAKE fans were treated to
an exhibition of baseball last
Saturday about which they are still
talking. Los Angeles beat the Nor
mons, IS to II, and a perusal of the
box score reminds US of that 20 to 70
game the second day Of the season
here. The Rio Grande teams had an
abb on account of the high winds
but the Coasters had no excuse like
that to offer. Salt Lake used "A
men and Los Angeles Y in the game.

sent to the floor heavily. Again this
was repeated and a fourth time.
As Hart was taking the count and
Siler had reached six" the fallen
man prepared to get to his feet once
more Siler had held Galligan off
but as Joe saw Hart was getting up,
he ran around the referee and while
Hart was still on one knee he swung
an uppercut at him, hit him in the jaw
and knocked him flat again
Ganlgan Loses On Foul
Siler promptly disqualified Galligan
and gave the battle to Hart on the all
too apparent foul
It was such a deliberate thing that
Siler got curious and before Galligan
left the ring he walked over to his
corner and said:
Joe, you had that boy licked What
ever did you want to foul him for2
Well" retOrted Joe angrily, what
did he want to get up for7"
