orally agreed that Pete Leyva,
Claude Graham and Clarence Duncan
are well punched for the leading
honors in the hurting. Leyva has
shown wonderful improvement over
last year and he is ripe for the pro-
fessional ranks next year.

NOTICE is served on the baseball
teams of FL Paso that Rio Grande
park, through the courtesy of owner
Hohn ]. McCloskey, is given to the
Boyland league teams for their
games on Saturday morning. The
action of some team in forcing the
Youngsters Of the field on Saturday
morning is, to say the very least,
unsportsmanlike. Steps have been
taken to precent a repetition of this
incident.
DURITYS will likely be the team
to face the Santa Ritas when
they play here on August IS. Man
ager Davis believes that the bakers
will trim the miners. The Field
mans, now composed entirely of SOL
der players, will face the miners on
August Q. These games should be
pippins. The Feldmans, though down
IN the standing, are as strong team
as has been seen here in a long
time while the bakers are now lead
ing the league.

FIRE LAST NIGHT
IN EMPTY HOUSE
Wooden Structure on Cedar Street
Partially Destroyed-origin
Unknown.

An empty house at the rear of 1872
Cedar street, owned by Peter Blink,
of 919 South Fourteenth street. was
partially destroyed by fire, resulting
from an unknown origin. last night at
10 o'clock. The house is a one
story frame structure with basement.
Household furniture belonging to
James South was stored in this
basement.
Apparently the fire started on the
east side Of the house and two rooms
on this side were almost totally de
stroyed. The loss will be around $500
The furniture in the basement was
slightly damaged by water.
1t is the opinion of the fire depart
ment that the fire was of an In
cendiary origin.
