Goodwin in Form.

Goodwins fielding was one of the
distinctive features of both games. In
all he handled twelve hard chances
without an error. DEBATE was right
both in his fielding and his hitting and
his work was more effective than
that of any other individual on either
team.
As a result of splitting their double
header with Lincoln and standing still
while Sioux City was winning from
Denver the Jimmy Jackson Wichita
club dropped to sixth place. just
ahead of Topeka.
Omaha and st. Joe played fifteen
innings and then with the score tied 3
to 8, the poor old Drummers lost their
chance to win when Holland pulled a
Joe Tinker and refused to get off the
field when the umpire told him his
presence was o longer desirable. The
umpire forfeited the game to Omaha
9 30 0. 1t is not stated in the dis
patches whether or not Holland was
fined $1,000. as Tinker was, but if
such is the case he probably will tell
the fine collector to just take his
whole club along as part payment.

DeFate's triple in the seventh IN

started the fireworks that routed Hlg-
genbotham from the mound and that
gave the Savages their first score.
Monroe scored DEBATE on a sacrlflce
fly and the Izzies were runs behind.
In the first of the eighth Devore kiss
ed out a double that brought in the
winning run and then two more were
made in the ninth when Baker proved
as ineffective as Higginbotham had
been.
The only two runs the IzzieS got in
the first game were made in the ninth
inning when three errors and two hlts
gave them a pair.
The second contest was a shutout
pitchers battle until the fourth IN

walked and Devore doubled, scoring
both the French and Teutonic contln-
gents DEBATE drove in another i'll the
eighth with a double, but it was not

Matty realizes that his pitching days are
about over, and he does not want to be
pushed out of the limelight. His one
chance to hold his own is to be a success
as a manager. His one opportunity to

his venture, and if he does he will deserve
more credit than he ever did for winning
championships because he has a bigger
undertaking on his hands.

The old town ditch through the main district of Phoenix will be a thing of the past in the near future if present plans cTry
 At special meeting in the Water Users building Saturday morning, the board of governors went on record as being unanimously in favor of sub merging the canal through reinforced concrete between 7th street and 7th avenue, providing that the plans and specifications to be prepared therefore shall be satisfactory to the board and the reclamation service and that such substitution shall be without cost to the water users, association or gov ernment
 Association Engineer Elliott made his report on the two proposed projects yesterday morning and recommended the adoption of the latter plan.
 The plan of submerging the canal through reinforced concrete is a city project, to be paid for by the city of Phoenix. Before such an improvement could be made, however, it was neces- sary that the city procure the ratifica- tion of the board of governors and the reclamation service

 The estimated cost of this improve ment will be s104,000 The approximate cost of relocating the canal to the north of the city was placed at $300,- 900 by Arthur Powell Davis, chief en- gineer of the reclamation service
 The town ditch has been an eye-sore to Phoenix residents for many years and at the same time has been a gi- gantic detriment in the way of civic improvements.
 In planning the submerging of the ditch a straight course between 7th street and 7th avenue will be followed. This course will be directly down Van Buren street
 Plans are now being drawn by the city engineer for this improvement, ac- tion on which will be taken by the board of governors and reclamation service as soon as it is completed. It is believed that the work of submerg ing the ditch could be completed within a period of two or three months, once il is started

REMEMBER OROzCO,"
VILLA RALLYING CRY

FL Paso, Tex, Jan 27.-Francisco
Villa, now in Western Chihuahua de
flying the forces of the Carranza gov
ernment, is using the cry, "Remem-
Der Orozco," to stir up hatred against
Americans and gain recruits for him
self, according to foreigners who have
reached the border.
General Orozco was Villas most
formidable foe until the latter drove
him across the border into the Unit
ed States after the battle of Ojinaga
nearly two years ago Orozco was
shot and killed last September in the
mountains on this side of the boun-
Diary, some time after he had forfeit
ed the bond under which he was be
ing held as a violator of United
States neutrality laws. Villa. taking
advantage of the circumstances of
Orozco's death, is declared to be using
his name as a rallying cry for re-
cruits.
Western Chihuahua was the home
of OroZco as well as that of Villa, and
the dead leader had a large following
which is said to have been inflamed
recently when Villa informed them
that OroZco had been murdered in
Texas by Americans.
