miles at the very least and with rail-

unless there was an assurance that the
attendance here would bring in around
81 400 a week. Our nneniuE week last

s1,265, so 1 could not see that it would
be a paying proposition to put clue
here under the existing conditions.
There IS no doubt that El Paso logi-
cally belongs to the Texas league and
next year / hope that we will have a

IN BOYLAND

~ RAISE Of the highest kind for the
sportsmanship Of the Las Cruces
Braves was brought back to Ell
Paso on Friday by the Oaklands, who
went TO Las Cruces on Friday morn
ing to play the Braves. The Oaklands
won, 20 to 5, but from the tales brought
back by the boys it would seem that
the Braves are as fine sportsmen as
can be found in the country. 1--WE beat
them but they sure gave US a good
time" said captain Bob Gilmore.
Cohen and McKemy were on the
points for the Oaklands and the former
pitched the best game of his young
life. The Braves couldn't find his de-
never in doubt after the first inning.
The Oaklands ran bases freely and it
was their speed on the paths that gave
them such big score.
Barber played a great game at short
for the Braves and was their fastest
man on the bases.
The Oaklands were decked out in
their new uniforms and they made
some show" They are arranging to
play the Braves a return game in Ell
Paso and will endeav0r to return the
hospitality OF the Las Cruces boys.
The lineup Of the Oaklands was:
Booth, IS; Aguirre, 3b; Cohen, D; Ham
ilton, ID; ElmOre, 2b; Johnson, RI; Dug
gan. II: WOOlyard, CT; McKemy. c. The
umpiring was entirely fair and neither
side had any kick coming on the de-
cisiOns.

felt from the MagOffin Tigers by
score OF 9 to 0, the Tigers failing to
show up for a game scheduled to be

I'll PASO baseball fans are likely
l. to have to do without profess
sional baseball this summer. John
McCloskey has done everything pos
sible to give US a league franchise
but the other towns simply won't
get into line. Mr.. McClOskey is now
giving up his efforts for this season
but is laying plans for a Texas
league club here next year. In the
meantime, get out and boost along
the Commercial leaguers. They are
playing mighty good baseball and
the better support they have the
more money they win have to spend

cial league look quite up to the
standard Of the past few weeks. The
norning game promises to be a real
treat, as was the case with the fore
noon clash last Sunday. This time
he EveTybodys meet the Kracka-
lacks. Buster" Gillett and Paul
Fisher are available for mound duty
for the clerks and Lucas, the 23d

is wrong.

q far more important man in the
making of film than in the staging
of a play and it is not always the
case it is nevertheless difficult 10
account for the pedestal upon which
ne is customarily placed. There is
many competent director staging
plays to-day who is heard Of but sell
dom by the public. But good film
director, and sometimes a bad one,
shares the publicity with the star.
There was, for instance, Hugh
Ford. who is but little known outside
the profession. That he is at present
a director in pictures has nothing to
do with the case. But it was Mr.
Ford who staged potash and Perl
mutter," and in staging it he did as
much for it as any picture director
ever did for a film. He did more than
stage it, he built it. So valuable
we're his services, in fact, that he is
said to have been paid royalty upon
the play. Yet few persons heard Of
Mr.. Ford in connection with the pro
duction Of Potash and Perlmutter."
