has a cave dweller in one of the bluffs
In the hills northwest Of Cedar City.
Curious children first discovered the
man when they cautiously crept mp to
the mouth of the cave, and found him
sleeping on leaves and tdricd vegeta-
ton. His fire smoldered near the en-
trance to the cave and near at hand
were some primitive cooking utensils,
fashioned out of stone.
During the day he carries load after
load of fagots and loge to keep his
fire going, and apparently he lives in
comfort. Children reported him to be

ORGANIZED GREED.

Gov. Hunt, in statement published following his renomination as the democratic candidate for governor, shows little desire for party har- mony, though he appeals for it in the concluding sentence of his statement. Here is an extract from the governors statement:
 "Surely it has been demonstrated, beyond a doubt, that the people of Arizona will not readily submit to the yoke of organized greed.
 This attempt to brand George A. Olney and those who supported him as representatives of organized greed" will not go very far towards bringing all democrats in the state into combined fight for party victory this fall. Such insults will not be re- ceived by the thousands of democrats, business men, professional men, farmers and stockmen who supported MT. Olney as an incentive to "tear their shirts" for Governir Hunt in the fall campaign. Many of the demo- cratic supporters of Mir. Olney in this community are outspoken already in their support of Tom Campbell for governor, and gratuitous insults will not be calculated to placate them dur ing the campaign.
 So far as organized greed" is con- cerned, we desire to submit that the expression will fit Governor Hunt and his political machine admirably, he being candidate for third term with no intimation that he will not be a candidate for a fourth, fifth and sixth term, or even during the entire span of his life.-Douglas lnterna- taional.
 The above from a perfectly good democratic paper would indicate very strongly just how deeply the state democrats are interested in Governor Hunt this particular year, and just how strong Governor Hunt is for the old line brand of democrats.

WILLIAMS BEATS JOHNSTON
New Champion Displays Wonderful Form and Gradually Wore Down Opponent-Johnston Led at Start.

Forest Hills, l.. l., Sept 6.-Richard Norris Williams, 2d, of Philadelphia regained the crown that he won in 1914 and lost last year, when he de- feated William M. Johnston, of Cali fornia, the playing-through cham the thirty sixth annual national lawn tennis championship tournament on the West Side Tennis clubs courts at Forest Hills.
 With Johnston leading him two sets to one after the rest period, Williams began the same unbeatable brand of tennis that sent Maurice Mclaughlin down to defeat at Newport two years ago. As has been pointed out before, when the new champion is playing at the top of his game, no man can stand against him, and Johnston went down before the Philadelphian's rush at 4-6, 6-4, 0--6, 6-2, 6-4.
 Mclaughlin, who had watched his fcllow-Californian fade before Will Hams tremendous attack in the last two sets, in describing the match af- terward said: williams won by rush ing. AS long as Johnston kept up his rushing game he won the points, but Williams was rushing all through the last part of the match, while Billy slowed up and was beaten"
 And that description tells the story Of Williams triumph and JOhnstOns defeat As long as the Californian could maintain his fierce aggressive tactics from fore-court, the points came to him rapidly, but the killing race set from beginning to end had it's effect on Johnston. His strokes lost their sting, his eye it's accuracy, and the power to force the struggle rassed from the champion to Will | Hams, who began a whirlwind assault ! from all over the court never letting l Up and compelling his opponent to !, cover ground at a rate that could l have only one result.

very keen regarding the result of the famous Charter Oak Stake, which will be trOtted tomorrow
 The reports from the Cox stable are that Mabel Trask is in the pink of condition. Mabel Trask is not only a beautiful chestnut mare, but she has established the fact that she is one of the greatest race horses the turf has produced
 Ed Geers also stated at the park yesterday that Mabel had a great burst of speed but in the fifty years that he has devoted to training and driving race horses, he never an- swered the bell with one as game as his stallion St. Frisco, and that Mabel Trask will have to fight every inch or every heat in the race to win. Other horses are named in this stake but the decision will go to one of these turf stars.
 / St. Frisco has a record of 2:03 IA Mabel Trask has a mark of 2:03 3-4 Records were made this year. Both trotters are five years old.

Some men are born to- fame and others are not. Consider the case of Patrick Moran, the mandarin of the Phillies.
 Last season Sir Patrick took cNarge of a ball club that was supposed to be wrecked a ball club that had been shOrn of stars as a lamb is shorn in the harvesting season for wool.
 With this club, his first year out, Moran won a pennant.
 Was he hero or a miracle man Nothing of the sort. He was merely Pat Moran, pretty lucky to win in a season where his rivals had been weakened by Fed invasions
 It was an off-year Therefore Moran won. Such, at least, was the Widespread verdict
 Then we come to 1916. The Na- tlnal league has been bolstered to it's old strength. Any number Of critics were picking the Phillies to finish in the second division. Few gave them better finish than third or fourth. Chalmers and Mayer, winners last season, were out of gear. Demaree got a slow start And how many have you heard talking of the wonder full strength of the Philly infield with Luderus, Niehoff, Bancroft and Stock How many were saying the Phils had the best outf1eld in the league-or one of the best? Outside of Alexander, how many stars were toiling in Philly harness?
 Yet, here in September, is Moran again still in the hunt, plodding along, holding his machine intact
 In speaking of the fine managers you hear a lot about Stallings, Me- Graw, Mack, Jones, Jennings and others. You don't hear very much about Moran. But make no mistake on this account. With the material at hand no leader in either league has done better work or has shown is the answer.

JOHNSON ALLOWS
 YANKEES FEW HITS
Big Fellow Contributes Home Run
 to Senator's 20 Victory

Washington, Sept. 6.-Clark Grif- fth's Senators, who can usually play like worlds champions when there is no chance of them getting anywhere, did that same thing against the Yan- kees yesterday afternoon, and just ruined whatever fraiI hope Bill Dono- van may have entertained toward a pennant this year of grace. Wash inton shut out New York by a score of to in the opening game of the farewell series between these clubs.
 If there is every any satisfaction in defeat the same may rest in the knowledge that such thing is not likely to happen again to the Goth amites. Donovan's boys may lose some more shutouts. But they are not likely to be shackled and hand cuffed as they were yesterday. They are not likely to face Walter Johnson again this season, in other words.
 There was no disgrace in being beaten by the Idaho cyclone. John son has pitched some wonderful ball in his time. He may have pitched as well as he did yesterday, but certainly he never pitched better. It was by far his best performance of the sea- son. Only twenty mine batters faced the speed king, who set the visitors down with two measly hits, one of tho scratchiest kind. No runner got past first base. Only four got that far.
 Not only did Johnson pitch like the Johnson of old, but he also clinched the argument with home run drive over Highs head in the eighth in- ming Until this blow fell there was hope for New York. Nick Cullop was pitching a game that nothing but a shut-out could beat
 Home Run Baker, who had been out of the game since July IA, covered. third base for New York. He served fitting testimonial to the effective- ness of Johnson. J. Franklin always has been one of Johnson's chief sources of worry. He did not threat en in three times up, though, of course, Baker could not be expected to come right back where he left off when injured so seriously. A r. h. e.

New Haven, Sept. 6.-Yale's foot ball clan began gathering yesterday but less than a dozen had arrived last night. Captain Black, athletic organ izer; Michael F. Sweeney and Trainer John Mack met the candidates. Only three attempted any exercise. They were Rex Hutchinson, fullback for the freshmen two years ago, and mem Der of the ineligible eleven of last sea- son; Gait, of the freshmen last year and a strong candidate for tackle this fall, and Stewart, substitute halfback for two seasons.

MACK PICKS PHILLIPS.
Former "Si1ent Man" Grows More
 Like Teddy R. Every Day.

Philadelphia, Sept. 6. - Connie Mack arrived in the city Monday night from Washington with his Athletics. Though leading a tailender himself Connie gives great praise to the Phil lies and Pat Moran. He said:
 The Phillies look like the team to me. They have arrived at the right time, and I think they will be very hard to stop. The Brooklyn team has evidently broken and something must happen to them to get them going again. It may be they can come back against New York, but the Giants just now are playing good ball. The Phillies certainly look like winners.

CORNELL CANCELS GAME.
Paralysis Epidemic Also Causes Foot
 ball Practice to be Put Off.

Ithaca, N. Y, Sept. 6.-The Cornell University athletic authorities yester- day decided to postpone the beginning of football practice this fall for at least one week and maybe longer, be- cause of the infantile paralysis situa- tion The tentative date for begin ming practice is now Sept, 25 instead of Sept. 8 as originally planned, and it is possible that a later date may be substituted. A short time ago the university authorities decided to post pone the opening of the university for two weeks, to the week of Oct. g instead of the week of Sept. 25.
 Graduate Manager Kent said yes- terday that the first game of the sea- son, with Oberlin on Sept. 30, has been canceled and there is a possi bility that the second contest, with Gettysburg, will also be called off. Coach Al Sharpe was not present at the confer ence yesterday, but he agreed to the decision. Letters will be sent to all of the candidates urging them to get into training at once to be ready for hard practice.

GIANTS AID ROBINS
 IN REGAINING LEAD
Lucky Seventh is EVentlul for Team from Across Big Bridge

New York, Sept. 6.-The Dodgers smarting under the loss of the Natloli- al League lead on Labor Day, treated the Giants cruelty at the Polo Grounds yesterday by sheer strength of concen- trated bat waving. They larruped out to victory and climbed back III the front which is now croWoed to the limit, the Phillies being in the same upper berth. The Boston Braves have tumbled back to third.
 When the Robins get their pats n action they surely do make a nolse For six innings yesterday Fred An derson held them right under his thumb, and in the seventh Fred was knocked to smithereens in a shower of hits. Up to that time the Giants had the Dodgers 2 to 0, and a great depression came over the numerous Brooklyn fans present. So sad was it that they didn't make a peep after Benny Kauff got the second Giant tally with a home-run belt into the right-field grand stand.
 If the Robins are worrying under the strain of the pennant chase, Man. ager Robbie doesn't show it. He still wears a uniform which took numer- ous extra yards of cloth to make pos sble of occupation. The Brooklyn fans, whose ardor slum bered through much of the game, broke out again in rabid demonstration when their pets piled up four runs in the seventh.
 Lord Byron was on the umpiring job again, and can still talk to the ball players just as briskly as they can chat to him. The Brooklyn play CTS wero slow in coming to the bat between innings, so Byron said: Come on, boys; you can't get base hits sit ting on that bench" The score:

ANDERSON's CONDITION SERIOUS

Cincinnati, Ohio, Sept. 6.-Gil An derson of Indianapolis, whose racing car went into a fence at the Sharon vile Speedway Labor Day, was pro- nounced in a serious, but not neces- sarily dangerous condition today. An derson has a broken leg and multiple bruises, but the examination made this morning displayed no internal in jury symptoms. Bert Shields, Ander- son mechanician, probably suffered a fracture of the spine near the base and physicians hold out slim hopes of his recovery.
