tinued. "As a matter Of fact, Birsky,
l have always claimed that what the
Germans and the French should ought
to do is to hire parlor car manner from
the Pullman Company and put him to
work on them numbered hills near Yer
dun To my mind, Birsky, the reason
why the Germans amt made more prog
ress there is because when the Crown
Prince calls up from long distance and
tells Falkenhayn he should attack Hill
No. 729, you couldn't blame the Teller if
with all the guns shooting off around
him he makes it 725; and when he in
his turn telephones to an assistant gen
eral who is sitting in bomb-proof shell
ter. which he knows is bomb-proof only
if bomb don't hit it, understand, it
amt surprising that the assistant gen
eral should understand Falkenhayn to
say Hill IT'S. The consequences is when
the assistant general orders the Kaiser's
Own Brandenburg Artillery to fire $751;
322 worth of shells at Hill IT'S, and a
couple of weeks later he is court-mar-
tailed for practically wiping out the
Kaiser's Own Lippe-Detmold Infantry,
which has been holding Hill IT'S ever
since February, understand, it don't
do him no good to say that he thought it
was very funny at the time, but orders
is orders. And yet, Birsky, if instead of
Numbers 729, 725 and IT'S, they would

hills 'Elkwood,' 'Danora' and Wing.
hurst we would say, for example, such
a mistake would never of happened at
all"
IF that's the best excuse the Germans
could give for not capturing Verdun,"
Birsky commented, they've got moth
ing on us for not capturing Wilma"
"The cases amt exactly anonymous,
Birsky." Zapp said. "You see, Birsky,
the Germans amt trying to capture
Verdun, because they claim that this
Verdun GeSchichte has got to stop, and
if the person whose business it is to
capture Verdun couldn't or wouldn't do
so, understand, that they, Germany,
would-and just watch their smoke"

BIG ROAD RACE WILL BE FEATURE OF FAIR
 DURING NOVEMBER
Cross Country Run, Douglas to Phoenix, Thru Bisbee Is Attracting More Interest in the Big Show.

Now that the big Douglas-P Phoenix Road Race to be run on November 18th is assured, plans are going for ward rapidly to make this the biggest event of its kind ever held in the Southwest, and from early indications it promises not only to outclass all but in the number of entries and time of running it sexpected that it will excel the famous Los Angeles to Phoe- nix Desert Classic.
 Secretary Shaughnessy of the State Fair Commission, states that his of flee is literally flooded with inquiries regarding the race and requests for entry blanks and conditions. With hardly an exception the desire is ex- pressed to enter the track races to be held on the Fair Grounds November 18th. To date he has been assured of one car from Yuma, three from Tue son, one from Bisbee, three from Doug las, two from Globe. one from Clifton, one from Miami, one from Lordsburg, New Mexico, one from Deming. New Mexico, and four from Phoenix
 The fact that this race is limited to cars from Arizona, New Mexico and Texas only, eliminates the possi- bility of having to compete with the big, specially constructed racing cars driven by professional drivers and will give the local men an equal chance for the money.
 The present plans call for the race to start from Douglas at an early hour in the morning. the possibility of a checking station in Tucson and fin ish on the Fair Grounds before the grandstand the same afternoon Secretary T. D. Shaushnessy states that he will be glad to furnish any one with further information concerning these events. and printed copy of con ditions and entry blanks can be had by addressing him in care of the State Fair.

Outweighed 20 Pounds to Man Bisbee School Squad Puts Up Great Game Against Militiamen.
Bisbee, 0; Arizona, ?.

Outweighed 20 pounds to a man, and with one more player out of the game, the Bisbee High School football team lost to Company A, Arizona In- fantry, to 0 at Warren yesterday. in the Highs first game of the season.
 It was purely case of too much beef Time after time, the plucky little Bisbee squad tore through the soldiers line, skirted their ods, fault lessly executed passes and more or less bedazzled their bigger opponents.
 First Half Bisbee'e
 The first half they even gained more yards than the soldiers and kept the soldiers on the defense most of the time. It was only during the latter part of the game that strength began to tell, and the soldiers, hurling their great fullback off left tackle plowed through for gain after gain.
 It was only in the last five minutes Of play that the soldiers scored their two lone points, when it looked for all the world like a scoreless game They had smashed their way down to with in three yards of goal, when Bisbee held them and gained the ball. Un- fortunately instead of kicking i'm mediately, Bisbee sought to circle left end. and was thrown back behind their own goal line, for safety by the sol diers.
 Other than this score, the ball see sawed hack and forth across the field countless of times. Once the Bisbee boys got within two yards of their goal, only to be held for down and had

Struggle as they might however. the High was able to push the ball only to within one yard of goal, when it was lost on downs.
 The Soldiers kicked, and Landerum immediately returned the ball to with in ten yards of goal, but the High could get no farther and again forfeit ed the ball. Here McGraw replaced McCrea of the High.
 By this time the High boys strength was beginning to wane and the sol ! diers, by a series of terrific smashes off tackle. swept straight down the length of the field to within ten yards of goal. Here Kreigbaum was injured and Coach Laurenson went in.
 The soldiers were straightaway held, Bisbee got the ball. punted and downed the soldiers in the middle of the field.
 Third Quarter 0 to 0. The third quarter ended with the ball in the soldiers possession, but with 70 yards to soal. Score o to O.
 The fourth quarter began with numerous exchanges of punts with tho ball in the middle of the field, until the soldiers began working their full back and right half on tackle smashes, carrying the ball down to within a foot of goal, only to be held by the High school boys. Bisbee immediately punted, and the ball was brought back by the soldiers a second time to with in two and half yards of goal. Here Russell Thomas replaced Campbell and Bisbee recovered the ball when the soldiers fumbled

 Then the soldiers made their lone two scores, for Bisbee. instead of bunting, attempted to circle left end, and was thrown back behind the line by the soldiers. Score. Soldiers 2; Bisbee 0.

to forfeit the ball. At another time the soldiers got within one yard oi goal and were held for downs in similar fashion.
 The game started by the soldiers kicking 40 yards to Page who returned thirteen, but Bisbee shortly fumbled to the soldiers and the latter were forced to punt without even making their first ten yards. Wallace received the punt and returned it ten yards only to have Bisbee tumble again, re covering the ball at a loss of fifteen yards. Greigbaum then circled right end for 12 yards, but Bisbee failed to make downs and the ball went to the soldiers again in the middle of the field
 First Quarter Scoreless.
 Straightaway the soldiers were pen alized 25 yards for numerous off-side plays. being forced to punt in each instance, and the first quarter came to an end with the ball in Bisbee's possession thirty five yards from the soldiers goal.
 Opening the second quarter Gigy Williams executed some spectacular tackling and forced the soldiers to punt to the middle of the field. By forward passes, Kriegbaum to Wallace and Dagleish, the ball was carried back into soldiers territory by the High,' only to be lost on fourth down. The soldiers then were blocked by T. Page who broke through their line, and they were forced to punt. :.
 Half Ends ScoreIess.
 Bisbee regained the ball forty yards from goal, lost it, and Kreigbaum re- gained it from a soldier tumble. The High was held for downs, the sol diers kicked. recovered it 22 yards from goal and the half ended. Score D to 0.
 During this time, Bisbee's light line, terrifically but undaunted, repulsed every attempt of the soldiers at line plunging, and at times even broke through and inter- rupted the soldiers quarter before he could get the ball out of his hands. Line men as rule never get any praise, because their work is all hid len in the bottom of the mess. But m opportunity to applaud the huskies 1f the High for their pluck and their holding capacity" cannot be over- looked.

 The second half opened with Bisbee 1icking off, and recovering the ball rom the rebound off the soldiers cen .er.

 After three line bucks, by the High, Oagleish circled left end for beauti- 'ul run carrying the ball 25 yards to within seven yards of a touchdown.
