SEVENTH INSTALLMENT

For the three in the little launch it
was a night of unforgettable terror.
The elements seemed united to de-
stroy them. The wind howled and
the sea roared like monsters ravening
for their prey. But at last pale, faint
light began to oveTspread the eastern
sky It was a cold, gray dawn, but
to those in the launch it was the most
beautiful that they had ever seen, for
it showed them the misty outline of
an island rising, not half a mile away,
above the storm-lashed sea.

Just as the first rays of the rising
sun gilded the tops of the cliffs the
launch glided between the barrier

When Bill Iiorrell, the crack tennis player, left for Pasadena this week, he took his fine collection of tennis trophies and cups that had adorned the Y. M. C. A. offices for a number of years. These trophies were all valuable cups which had been won in the state and national tournaments.
 Among the collection was the Dr, o. A. Turnev cup, which had been possession of the local association for five years. Iris cup being won three times became the permanent posses sion of Horrell It was nicely en- sraved and was one of the most val uable cups in the collection and did much to create and excite tennis en- thusasm at the Y.

HOW THEY BAT TODAY

The Phoenix White Sox will play the Mesa Jewels this afternoon at 3:00 o'clock sharp on the Polk street ball grounds. This game will be fast as the SoX team has been strengthened by three new infield players. Captain Haldiman has made a general shake up in his lineup
 Two weeks ago today the White Sox played their first game of the season with Mesa In spite of the fact that this was the first time the Sox aggre- gation had played together they held Mesa to score of four to three Not an error was made on either side until the seventh inning. This game was the best yet played in the valley thus far and well pleased the fans who at tended it.
 It is the hope of Manager Pinney of the White SoX that the game today will excel any played so far this sea . son. It might be stated that little Dick Heflin will toss the snowflake for the Sox with shorty" McGuire on the re- ceiving end.
 Now word in regard to Mesa. Mesa has the same old reliable team, with Attaway pitching and old "Dode'' Morris catching. Manager Allison of the Jewels will bring the strongest lineup possible. This will be the first opportunity the Phoenix fans will have had in seeing the Mesa team in action this season.
