TUCSON will have no professional
baseball this year and plans are
under way to revive the old city
league of two years back. There is
some talk also of arranging a semi
pro. circuit with teams in Tucson,
Phoenix, NOgales, Bisbee and Doug
las.
XYTAC0 has bought catcher Walter
" Kuhn, former White Sox who
was with Oakland last year, to re-
place Walters, who was bought by
the Yankees. Kuhn is likely to add
strength to the Waco team, which
badly needs it at the present time.
CUNNERS are reminded of the
first shoot for the Hercules cup
on the Pass City Gun clubs traps
on Sunday morning. It is important
that every gunner who intends to
compete for the trophy should not
miss a shoot. There are six events
IN the series.
CORONA road races are a thing Of
the past, according t. the gossip
amO-g motorists in California. The
death of Bob Burman, his mechanic
and a track policeman in the last
race and the fact that the manage
ment had to meet a big deficit are
given as the reasons.
TUCSON reports an average Of 200
tennis players prac icing every
Sunday for the Border States tennis
tournament there next month. Well.
FL PasO may not send 200 players
but it's a cinch that a fair share of
the trophies viii find their way back
here.

A MEXICAN association opens its
season today and another week
will see the international league, the
last of the important minor leagues
to get under way, start its series.

HERE'S something important: A
New York writer says that "a
group of Kansas City business men
intend to back Jack Curley to pro-
mote the White Welsh fight" Get
that business men,"
TWO former Coast league players
featured in the victory of the
White Sox over the Browns on Mon
day. Jack Ness, holder of the
worlds record for hits in consecutive
games, and Byrd Lynn, former
Phoenix and Salt Lake catcher, were
used as pinch hitters by the Sox and
both delivered the goods.
WEATHER conditions are causing
many postponements in the big
leagues. New York and BROOKLYN
fans are suffering most at tf2 pres
ent time but there has also been con-
siderable rain in the Quaker City.
PAN has been put on the pink teas
for high school seniors and
faculty. The baseball game On Fri
day afternoon at Rio Grande park
is getting all attention right now.
Both sides are accused of EMPLOYING
spies to grab off the signals of the
other team. 1t should be some battle.
The cadet parade precedes the game.

EELDMANS meet Puritys on Sun
day and as the photographers
showed a lot of class in their last
game they are picked to make the
bakers step out. These teams are
now candidates for cellar honors but
one of them is due to advance Sun
day so a hard-fought game can be
looked for. The Wall team will Dlay
the Seventh infantry while the
Krackajacks will buck up against
EverybOdys. This game, too, should
be a humdingeT. Lucas will likely
work for the Krackajacks and Fisher
for the cOunteuumpers. If the sol
diers manage to get some practice
this week, there should be three
dandy games on next Sundays bill.
HONEST JOHN" WCLOSKEY is
wearing a happy smile these
days and it is taken to mean that
things are going good for the Rio
Grande league but "Mack" isn't do
ing any shouting. "I'll make my an
nouncements in good time" he de-
clares.
CALIFORNIA is to have profess
siOnal hockey next winter. The
Canadian winter sport made a big
ut in New York, Boston, Cleveland
Ind other eastern cities when intro
luced there three or four years ago.
Portland and Seattle got professional
loskey last winter and now Alex.
'antages, the Seattle theatrical mag
late, is figuring on a series of arti-
lcIal ice Kinks in California and
'lans to put in a league there.
