is likely that the next revival Of the

"BECK'S" AMEN CORNER

JIMMY DUNN writes from Colorado
Springs that things are shaping
up lovely for the proposed new Rio
Grande league, so far as his city is
concerned. He says he has deferred
the formation of a stock company,
pending the final decision of two
well known business men and fans
who have expressed a desire to take
hold of the club and run it as a bust
ness proposition Jim Brown also
writes from Miami that he is pre-
pairing to make a start for the north
ern end of the circuit and will likely
be in Pueblo or Trinidad inside of
the next two weeks.
FL PAS0 seems likely to drop the
playground movement, after
making fine start, because of lack
of a few dollars. Rather, not so
much for the lack of the money but
because some people dOn't want to
vote it for the play rounds. That
there are permanent results from
playground work can be cited by the
fact that Rochester, N. Y, one of
the first cities to take up the move
ment, is spending more money on
Fairgrounds this year than ever be-
fore. And the same applies to
Newark, N. ]. Newark also wants
J. H. Slime, the local supervisor, to
transfer the scene of his activity to
the New Jersey city.
TONIGHT the basketball fans will
be offered a Church league match
between the EpiscOpalians and the
Mexican Methodists with the posi-
bility of a second game between the
Westminsters and Baptists. The
EpiscOpalians have had things pretty
much all their own way in the
league but the Mexicans have also
shown some speed and a pretty good
game is anticipated.

CURLEY, JONES & co. haven't
given up hope of getting the
JOhnsOn-Willard films into this coun-
try. They are now fighting the Gus

FRANK MORAN gave Luther Nc
Carly a mighty tough time of it
in their ten-rOund bout in New York,
April 80, 1915. Luther was then the
recognized white champion. Moran
hammered him all over the ring that
night and Luther still bore the
marks when he entered the ring at
Calgary, Canada, on May path, with
Arthur Pelkey. Whether the punches
McCarty took from Pelkey or the in
juries in the Moran fight caused his
death is still a debated question.
Moran showed in that fight that he
can set a hard pace for ten rounds

GENTLY in ten rounds, there is no
question but that the public will de-
mand a return bout over the mara

~ ONE persons have written asking

halfback. The answer is simple; Oil

Oliphant starred in that Army-Navy
game. but it must be remembered that
a high school halfback, given ELEPHANTS
opportunities in that game would have
performed with equal brtlliance. The
Navy line was wOefully weak and it's
end men mediocre in the extreme. It
was no trick to gain through that Navy
line or to skirt the Navy ends for big
gains.
Oliphant could do nothing against
the Notre Dame or Colgate lines. They
threw him back nearly every time he
hurled himself against them. He
failed to make any consistent gains
around the ends Yet, the Syracuse
backs ripped through the Colgate line
and circled the Colgate ends for 80
points. The Nebraska team ran up 20
points against the Notre Dame

COAST league baseball magnates
are having a little scrap Of their
own and the California magnates are
not at all backward in asserting
that they would like to see Portland
drop out of the Coast league and
enter the Northwestern while Sacra-
mento would take the Portland fran
chise. And it's all over the salary
limit. A limit of $500 a month was
fine and lovely until the Los Angeles
club signed Frank Chance as man
ager. Frank Immediately asked for
raise in the limit. He says that
he can't have a good team on $4,000.
The Mercedes, of Portland, assert
that Frank is a trouble maker; that
he has rade a reputation on money
rather than baseball ability and that
his coming is likely to disrupt the
whole league.

Bump" is the right word, for the

of the best games of the entire
season and a record crowd is looked
for.
pLANS for inter-city soccer matches
with Globe and Morenci teams to
play here are progressing but the
support given the game will have to
be tested. If the attendance at Sun
days game at Rio Grande park, be-
tween the 10th infantry and the
United Empire club warrants it, the
games with the Arizona team will
be arranged. A lot will depend upon
the size Of the crowd Sunday. The
game is likely to be a dandy and
fans who like a few thrills should
not miss it. 1t is likely that a
military band will be in attendance.
