MESA WILL OPPOSE : PHOENIX STARS IN
 FIRST LOCAL GAME

The first of series of home games in which the newly organized Phoenix
 Independents will he seen in action will
 be staged at the Polk street diamond
 Sunday afternoon with the strong
 Mesa city team opposing The game
 will start at the usual hour, o'clock.
 This new organization demonstrated
 it's ability by defeating the Superior
 team at Superior last Sunday by a
 score of to s. It was the first game
 the club ever played but was indica
 tive that the team is composed of
 some mighty promising material. Many
 of the players had never played to-
 Sether before and as a result, the team
 work in the opening game was some
 what crude
 With several hard nights of practice
 in front of them this week however
 it is very probable that when the team takes the field Sunday afternoon it
 will represent a balanced, smooth
 working piece of machinery There is,
 of course, much to be learned in the
 finer points of the game-something in fact that no bunch of players can
 master within a weeks time But it is
 promised that local fans will see
 something new in the style of play of
 a local semi professional bali club Incidentally, it has been rumored,
 that plans are now under way for
 giving the baseball loving public of 1 Phoenix some high class ball this summer. In fact, the organization Of this Independent club was the first step toward that goal. Whether or not
 the plan will culminate depends large l ly on the support of the fans.
 It has been several seasons since Phoenix has had an opportunity of viewing high class ball That this newly organized club can be developed 1 into a team that can compete on even terms with any of the paid clubs of the state has already been shown. Only the finishing touches are now necessary to give the team the az pearance of league squad in action. 1t is hoped, even believed. that suf- ficient support will be forthcoming to warrant bringing several of the fastest teams in Arizona to Phoenix this sum- mer for games. Considerable expense
 naturally attends such undertakings and before games with the more dis tant cubs are attempted, the manage ment wants to be assured that it will not be attempting to push a financial loss.
 Among the teams being considered for local bookings are the Ray and Hayden squads. These clubs play a class of ball equal to any Class c circuit in the country.
 Following are some of the players al ready included on the list of the team: H. Westfall catcher; Togneri first base; Warren, second base; Ellis. third base; Lyall, shortstop; Haldiman, Jeff field; F. Westfall, center field and pitcher; Seaman, right field, and De Priest and Anderson, twirlers. Francis
