Mamaux VS.. the Field
DOLTTE mention in these dispatches was
i made of the fact that Alexander and
johnson were still supreme. These two
have won more games than any others but
after considering the dope at further length
it is hardly just to call their records any
better than the showing of Al Mamaux, the
Pirate cabin boy.
Mamaux has been working with a club
well down in the second division. He has
been working with a club where the job
of breaking even was no slight task. Yet
he has been good enough to win 10 out of
81 starts, and thereby glide along at a
percentage about 800 points above the nor
NAL showing of his mates
The Best Pitching
The best pitching in the National League
far has been done by Alexander, Ma
maux and Pfeffer. In the American League
the best pitching has been done by John
son, the two Coveleskies, Ruth Shawkey
and Cullop.
Guy Morton was showing the most ef-
fective stuff Of the season until he picked
a kink in his main pnion, and the wonder
is that Cleveland should hold up so we'll

town was captured by Montenegrin forces on April 23, 1913, after a siege lasting seven months.
 The powers previously had decided to include Scutari in the kingdom of Albania and King Nicholas had been offered compensation in money and territory on condition that he give up the pace. The Montenegrin- king de-
 clined the offers. however, and an
 nounced he would hold Scutari against
 the powers. As a result of his decision
 the international naval blockade of the
 Montenegrin coast was extended.
 Later the powers made another de-
 mand on the king and the monarch finally decided to eVacuate the town, which was occupied by an internation- al force on May IA. 1913. Several months later the international troops were withdrawn.
 When the Serbian army retreated before the invasion of their country by Teutonic forces some of the Serbian soldiers on crossing the Albanian from tier proceeded to Scutari where they joined the Montenegrins.

sTORK FAILS T0
 OBSERVE HOLIDAY
Muddles Things by Working Overtime
 on Sunday

Either the stork gained the impress sion from some source or other that a shortage of bank tellers was threatened or the Schupp and Wiatt families had a secret bet that one would add to the male population of Phoenix before the other. Anyhow there seems to be more than a coincidence in the fact that on Sunday morning there arrived a ten-pound boy at the home of MT. and Mrs. R. B. Schupp, 716 East Pierce street, while on Monday morning d seven pound boy put in an appearance at the home of MT. and Mrs. F. s. Wiatt, North Seventh avenue
 It's like this. Papa Schupp is a tel Ter at the Phoenix National bank. Papa Wiatt is also a teller at the same bank and is to be found daily in cage ad- joining that occupied by Teller Schupp. | For the past several days each has | been attending strictly to his own i business, although occasionally one
 would. glance suspiciously at the other i There seemed to be threatening Of strained relations between the two. Each went home on Saturday after 1 noon satisfied that he would be the one to announce to the bank force on Monday that he had beaten the other
 at his game.
 1 Neither communicated with the oth-
 CT over Sunday. but yesterday morning | Schupp appeared bright and early and l told his story to anxious ears. He was right in the midst of his narrative
 when Wiatt rushed in and proceeded
 to make it known that the expected had happened out at his house.
 l Just when he was preparing to re-
 ceive the congratulations he felt to be | rigatfully his'n, somebody broke the
 news to him that the Schupr affair
 had been pulled off" twenty -four
 hours in advance of that in the Kenil- | worth neighborhoOd. But as Schupp | failed to take into consideration that | Sunday isn't a banking day and Mon 1 day is, a council was held among the
 wise ones and it was decided that the | whole thing must be declared q draw
 as the Schupp baby had no business
 arriving on other than q banking day And there the matter rests.
 For the next few days the directors
 of the Phoenix National bank are pledged to overlook trifling mistakes | should they be traceable either to Teller Schupp or Teller Wiatt.
 And Cashier Marshall announced
 that he was glad it was a boy in each
 instance as the bank would shortly be in need of some more tellers.

WATERS RECEDE
 DAMAGE CEASES
Gila Goes Down, and It Is Expected That In Few Days Trains Will Be Operating Through to Marlcopa and Main Line

During the past twenty-four hours, the receding waters of the flooded riv- CTS of this section of the state, have given the railroad men a pretty good idea as to the real extent of the dam age inflicted on the railroad properties In a number of instances, the dropping waters have made possible examina- ton of roads and bridge.N and already plans are under way for the repairing of number of the worst breaks in the transportation facilities.
 Superintendent C. M Scott of the Arizona Eastern. stated last night that work will be started today on the erec- tion of the temporary wooden trestle across the Gila river at Sacaton, to re- place the steel bridge that was so bad | ly damaged last week. Two pile driv-
 ers will be at the scene of operations 1 this morning, one borrowed from the l Santa E'e and one a hastily construct | ed affair which will be pressed into 1 service until better arrangements can i be made. Other drivers will be added | to the job in a few days. Filing of 1 about sixty feet in length will be re- 1 quired on the job, and a large number
 of the big timbers are already on their way from the coast
 MT. Scott stated that the company 1 hoped to have the new trestle in shape
 to carry trains over the river>in about
 week if the water lowered to a point
 where it would not hinder the opera
 tions 1f the bridge gang. At present, a large ferry boat is being fitted up and 1 it is expected that satisfactory ar, | engagements can be made for the trans l ferring of passengers and baggage un-
 til the new bridge is ready for use

Corn fin ished a shade off to AdA cents up, May closed at 7S3s cents and July lSA cents. Nay oats closed 53 and July 4915 cents.
 Advances in the price of wheat ap-
 piled chiefly to the May option, which gained q full cent on the July deliv- cry, and closed at the highest quota
 ton yet for the 1915 crop. The corn market was under selling pressure throughout the greater part Of the day on account of large receipts and the sloWness of eastern inquiry. Oats were relatively firm. Provisions were inclined to ease off in consequence of heavy receipts of hogs.

DUCK HUNTERS TO
 BE PROSECUTED
State Game Warden to Stand by Fed. erai Law and See That no one
 Shoots After Firet of Month

State Game Warden Willard yester- day announced that the deputies in charge of his office will vigorously enforce the provisions of the Federal game law which prohibits the killing of ducks on and after February l. The closed season remains in effect until October 15.
 The state game laws permit the shooting of ducks until April 15, but in spite of this fact, it has been decided that the federal law cover ing the matter shall have priority over the state law, so hunters are warned that in killing ducks after the first of next month. they will be do- ing so at their own risk.
 The federal duck law is at present before the supreme court of the United States, but pending the out come of the case, most of the state game Wardens are seeing that the law is enforced.
