PIONEER OF MOHAVE
 COUNTY PASSES AWAY

James A. Rosborough, a pioneer of Mohave county, died at his home in Los Angeles late Friday afternoon, death being due to paralysis.
 Mir. Peterborough was born in Canada and served during the Civil war in the federal army. He came to Arizona in the early seventies and was identified with the old overland mail service. The route extended from Phoenix to Fort Mohave, by way of Mineral Park, the then county seat of Mohave county, Later he engaged in mining and was one of the original owners of the Ant lers and Copper World, now the prop erty of the Copper Queen Mining com pany, and the Copper Prince mines, on Bill Williams Fork, now being oper- ated by the Ray Copper company. These properties he sold.
 Mir Rosborough was sheriff of Mo have county for two terms. After leaving the sheriff's office he removed to Los Angeles, where he and wife have lived many years. He was a genial, whole-souled fellow and had a host of friends all over northern Ari- zona.
 The remains are to be cremated in Los Angeles and the funeral services will be under the auspices of the Elks and Odd Fellows. He was a member of the Kingman Elks and Odd Fellows. He is survived by a widow and one son.

would be driven over, or the running gears loaded in the beds and fioated, as conditions of the river or the notions of the emigrants demanded.
 From the river the road goes mo- where near the present so-called National Old Trails highway. They are from 10 to 50 miles apart. The emigrant road passed out to Piute hills, which can be seen from any erinence here. From thence it went to Rock springs and thence to Camp Cacy; from Camp Cady to San Der nardino. The Bishop road followed the same route.
 Mir. Miller tells of an Indian massacre at the Colorado ford in 1858. The men were padding their outfits across the river with the women and children in camp. Mohave Indians stole up to the camp and attacked the women. The babes were taken by the feet and their heads beaten into pulp against cottonwood tree. Most of the men escaped. Long afterward soldiers came there and found the hair of the infants still held in the bark of the cottonwood tree.
 When the Goldroad mine was dis covered in 1900, a new road was de- manded. The county built it to the summit and from thence the Goldroad company did the work The latter was done under promise of the coun- , ty reimbursing the company and it is the impression of MT. Miller that this was done in due course.
 ! This is referred to above as the county road and is the one just now abandoned for the new grade. For quite a time the west side was only trail and supplies were packed down for the use of the company. The Bishop road, in fact, for time was not completed from a certain bluff west of the summit to the junction with the emigrant road at the Gold Ore mine, and camels were used there in packing, as they were also in var ious parts of the Nevada desert, at the Comstock and elsewhere.
 Thus, according to the best living authority the Santa Fe trail never I'came closer to Oatman than Silver creek and never followed the Colorado river to Yuma. And this is the real and original Santa Fe trail.
 It is a subject for which the writer has the grestest reverence. As a small boy he lived in less than a mile of the Santa Fe trail in Kansas. This was in 1869 and the trail there was as plain as any road. It was washed down two or three feet in places, with high centers and siding places. Like today it was used in places for mile

or two. It ran through the prairie grass, at that place having south westerly course but further on it took northwesterly to find shallow place to ford the Arkansas river.
 There were some graves and other signs of the travel there of 20 years before. but here Mir. Miller says he does not know of a grave.

Uncle Handicap
TO Geo. Kelly
of the Giants

It's sometimes hard to live down a
name or a relationship, and the chances
are that George L. Kelly, the San
Francisco boy who is now with the
New York Giants. is sorry he ever had
such an uncle as Bill Lange, one Of
the greatest outfielders who ever
stepped on ball field.
Now, don't get this wrong. Kelly Is
as proud as proud can be Of Uncle
william; but, you know, when you're
the nephew Of one of the old stars of
the game you are more apt TO be in
the public eye, while there Is lot
more expected Of you.
No matter where Kelly would hap
pen to be, somebody would point him
out with the Illuminating remark:
That's Bill Lange's nephew. Bill, you
remember, was one of the greatest out
felders that ever lived"
Young Kelly was a Polytechnic High
School boy a matter Of three years ago,
and. of course, played baseball.
He was captain and manager, and,
though he played shortstop regularly,
he could fill almost any position. HIS
first professional job was with the
Spokane Northwestern League Club in
1914, and he was with the team that
Mike Lynch managed at the Boyes
Springs training camp. Spokane turned
Kelly over TO Victoria, and il was dur
ing the 1915 season that he was pur-
chased from Victoria by Muggsy Nc

Harry Hoober'S
Release Bought
For Modest Sum

Iris Seaker, Harry Hooper and Duff
fy Lewis have been rated as the great
est outfield trio baseball has ever
known. To many members of the Bos-
ton Red Sox for several seasons their
worth and value to the club was
reckoned at $4,000. That the figure
was no exaggeration was indicated
when Speaker was sold to Clevelanc
for a sum said to be in excess OF S6O,-
900. Hooper and Lewis would easily
bring about $4,000 if the Red Sox de-
cided 10 put them on the market.
These figures are interesting in the
case of Harry Hooper. Less than ten
wears ago, when he was first starting ~

his release and services. 1t was Ia
1907 that Bill Curtin was running

fancy TO Hooper, youth. who was
with the Oakland State League CluD.
NEGOTIATIONS were opened and SZo

Hooper was just finishing up his
studies at St. Mary's College. A posi-
TON was found for him in Sacramento
as a civil engineer for railroad com
rany. and Harry put in has Sundays

loved a very capable engineer, and
could have made his mark in that pro-
fession had not baseball proved so at

Feider cavorted with Sacramento IN the
State League, and in 1909 he was sofa

The Red Sox have in their lineup.

Columbia Men
Summoned for
Football Team

Columbia has issued a call to its
football men to report on Monday,
September II, when the first practice
will be held on South Field. The open
ing game with Hamilton will not be
played until October 7, so that the Blue
and White squad will have four entire
weeks in which to get into condition.
Because of heavy losses by gradua
ton and the fact that the freshman
eleven last fall was weak, Nelson Met
calf. the head coach, will follow the
same policy which he employed in 1915.
He will be assisted by Ted Wilmington,
the former Harvard guard; Ike Teller,
end on the Dartmouth eleven Of two
years ago, and Frank Fisher, captain of
the 1914 Oberlin team. Save for the
few veterans left over from 1915, the
work for the greater part Of the pre-
liminary period will be rudimentary IN
the extreme, because Metcalf expects
TO have a record-breaking number OF
green candidates.
OF the men who played more or less
regularly last fall, Healy and Wilbur,
tackles; Cleveland and Donaldson,
guards; Brown and Bullwinkle, centres,
and Monroe, fullback, are the only ones
who will surely be on hand when the
call sounds. Calder, left end; Buer-
meyer, right end, and Simonds, half
back, have been graduated. Manzbaer
and Donoho, backs, have had scholastic
difficulties and will not return to the
university. =,
There is doubt whether Edward
Miller. the sensational quarterback,
will be able TO play. Miller was on
he is not yet eligible. Another player
who may be lost 10 the team is Lit
tauer, the giant fullback, who has just
about made up his mind TO enter the
Medical School. Should he do so, he
would be ineligible to play on the team.
From the 1919 freshman eleven the
only players of real value who may
join the varsity squad are Dunn and
Culloton. There is even some DOUBT
about Culloton, because he, too, was on
probation in the spring term and may
not have worked out of the conditions
which would bar him him from playing
football.
New stands, with an increased seat
ing capacity Of three thousand, will be
ready when the first game is played.
The south stand is 10 be enlarged by
the addition of two thousand seats and
one thousand seats will be added to the
north bleachers. In addition, II Is
probable that a stand will be built
along the east end Of the field large
enough to accommodate thousand
persons. The South Field gridiron will
be returfed in places and the surface
made more springy.

READY TO RACE
ON LOWER BAY
Women Shippers Will
Pilot Boats on First
Day of Regatta.

This weeks yachting feature will be
the annual race week of the Atlantic
Yacht Club, and the sailors Of the
lower bay have made great trepara-
tions to entertain their shipmates from
Long Island Sound. Judging from the
reception they got last year, their wei
come this week will be just as hearty
as Of yore.
Those fortunate enough to witness
tomorrow opening races will find It
hard 70 pick a winner, for women skip
pers are to be at the helms Of the
stars, the knockabouts and the birds
in fact, all the crack one-design racing
craft that are entered for the series
prizes. This woman's race has become
one f tn. important features OF the
Atlantic Yacht Clubs race week. Many
Of the fair shippers are able TO sho"
that the female Of the species is more
expert at the tiller than the male, and
one would need no better proof than
to see the winner in the star class
last year. Miss Grace Finlay, daughter
of Samuel Finlay, of the regatta com
mittee, handle her boat at the start OF
that class Of crack racers.
Others gho raced last year and who
will again be at the helms OF some Of
the yachts include Mrs. G.. Davis, Miss
s Eidridgc. Miss +. NJ. Valentine, Miss
G. Brown. Mrs. c. L. Atkinson, Miss
Lucy willard, Mrs. William Davis, Miss
L. Sexton. Miss Vivian Vernon, Mrs.
C.. W. Elder. jr, Mrs. A. p. Baxter,
Miss Grace Inslee, Mrs. Z. c. Sohst,
Mrs. +. V. Willis, Mrs. A. Walker and
Mrs. G. A. Cory.
Two special trophy races will be de-
eided during the week. One will be for
the Childs Perpetual Challenge tro-
phy. The prize is now held by the
iarchmont Yacht Club. which plans to
defend with the New York Yacht Club
3O-footer Alice. the property OF Gherardi
Davis. The Bensonhurst Yacht CLUB
is the challenger and has nominated
Joy and Cyric, two well known Lower
Bay racing sloops. The Atlantic Yacht
Club also will be represented. Its en-
try is Banzai, another 30-foOter.
The bother special prize has been OF
fered by w. A. Barstow. IL is FOR
race between teams of star and knock
about craft. The three yachts Of each
class that do the best work in the Sc
ries racing will meet on Friday after
noon for the Barstow prize. 1t is ex-
pected that more than fifteen star boats
will come down from Long Island Sound
TO represent the class against the Low
err Bay knockabouts.
Four yachts have entered for the
races around Long Island. II is the
first time in years that a race around
Long Island has been arranged for
sailing craft. The course is the same
as that used for the Deep Sea Challenge
cup Of the Brooklyn Yacht Club. Ii is
from Sea Gate, around Norton's Point,
along the south shore of Long Island TO
Montauk Point, and then westward
down the Sound to the New Rochelle
Yacht Club.
