PREPAREDNESS THE.
 MOTIVE FOR PICTURE
Somewhere in France" Is the Name of Play to be Present ed at Eagle Theatre.

Somewhere in France" at the Eagle theatre for today only, is a series of actual scenes taken on the battle front of the French army by Donald c. Thopmson. the daring camera. man of the Paramount News pictures, Illustrated London News, Leslie's Weekly and L'Illustration. Paris.
 Each picture has its spirit of gen uineness, the thrill of actual happen ing and the inspiration of authenticy. Realistic views of trench fighting car ried on between waring factions only forty feet apart
 A battle between a "Taube" and three aeroplanes while thousands of feet in the air and resulting in the capture Of the "Taube"
 Not a pleasant picture in all it's phases. but one to thrill over and to study and furnish an ineffaceable re- collection of devoted service to flag and indomitable courage in a country's defense.

BISBEE BASKETBALL
 EWES WIN AND LOSE
 AGAINST TUCSON HIGH
Bisbee Girls Fail to Win P to 12, While Boys Capture a Spirited Match in an Extra Session, 43 to Al.

Bisbee and Tucson high school basketball teams broke even on honors at Tucson Friday night, the girls de ! feating Bisbee's 22 to r., while the Bisbee boys snatched a i3 10 II vic tory from their rivals by a hairs breadth in an extra period of play.
 Bisbee girls teamwork was impaired by the abesnce of Miss Wacek. out with sprained ankle. whereas the Tucson girls teamwork was par eX- cellence Miss Martha Crowell. of Tucson. was responsible for the Old Pueblo's victory
 The boys game was pronounced one of the fastest ever seen in Tucson. The end of the first half saw the score slightly favoring Bisbee, but the last half showed a tie. and an extra five minute period was played. In this Wallace and Visalia, of Bisbee, scored four points to Tucson's two, and cinched the game.
 The last fifteen minutes was a see saw game, the lead switching back and forth between the two teams.
 Tucson attributes its defeat to the loss of their star. Harris, who was barred the day before the game. Slonaker was Tucson's one brilliant player. whereas Wallace. McRae and Visalia did splendid scoring for Bis bee and Baldwin and Thomas were efficient guards.
 The Tucson Star, commenting on Bisbee's boy team, says it is the best Bisbee has had since winning the southwestern championship at Fl Paso.

Shutz was away from Jerome about a mOnth. When he left he expected to present the Copper Chief Extension tn C.. Louis capitalists but he got no fart.:- CT than the Golden Gate city.
 The San Franciscans with whom he is negotiating asked Ira B. Joralemon, the C. & A. geologist. to look over the Copper Chief Extension. but he was too busy to do so and recommended MT. Smith
 According to Secretary Shutz. no stock in the Copper Chief Extension will be placed on the market if the pending deal is consummated.

Cnv Review Leased Wirel

ALBANY, x. Y. Feb. 9.-An agree ment for a ten round boxing bout be- tween Jess Willard, worlds champion, and Fred Fulton at Madison Square Garden, New York, March 26. condi- tional upon Fulton's victory over Charley Weinert next Monday night, --- announced here today by Grant Hugh Browne, of New York.
 The license granted to Browne and his associates today is dependent upon their meeting the objections of the at torney generals office to the terms of the lease of Madison Square Garden. Chairman Frederick A. Wenck, of the athletic commission, and Browne con- ferred today with Deputy Attorney General Lawson. who pointed out that the lease did not conform to the pro- visions of the athletic commission law in that the papers did not show that the garden tower corporation is the owner of the Madison Square Gar. den. The law requires that the club or corporation conducting bouts must show in its application for license that it is either the owner or the leasee for at least a year of the proper ty in which the exhibitions are to be given. In this case, the legal papers provide for the transfer of the property March 1.

 The big fellows passed the day most differently. Rocker basked in

 went through the toughest two hours oI training he has Yet had. His wind was perfect and he came out of the long siege as fresh and untired as | though he had just arisen after full nights sleep.
 Rocker is tempermental. Yester- day for instance. he passed the day in solitude: refused 10 let single soul even mention the word wrestling 10 him. and as far as anyone knew. he never limbered up for a minute.
 He says he always trains best when he lets his whims direct him. This afternoon the fans will have a chance to pass upon the wisdom of his training.

| baseball, and if the Pirate owners will
stand behind Bezdek he may be the
man for the permanent job. Who
knows?
Look at the case of Lee Foil. Lee
was appointed manager of the Cleve-
land Indians to finish out bad season.
No one thought he would stick as pilot
of the club. But he's still there, and
he has had the Indians in the lime
light ever since the owners of the club
got behind him and handed him moral
and financial support.
One of the main troubles with the
Pirates was the fact that they began
playing ragged and often listless base
ball, as soon as they found out that
they didn't have the stride' necessary
to keep them in the .pennant race. They
were discouraged, and Callahan was
discouraged, too. So the club was not
really doing its best.
Bezdek gained some valuable ex-
perience in the handling of men as a
baseball and football coach, and he
has studied players as a scout for the
Pittsburgh club. His fighting qualities
were trained during his football days
with the University of Chicago, and

(By JACK VEIOCK, International News
Sports Editor)
Hugo Bezdek has a man-Sized job
on his mitts as manager of the Pirates
1t is no cinch to take hold of a tail
end team in midseason and pump it
full of life and pepper, but this is the
task Bezdek has tackled, and he may
surprise the critics by making good
with a vim.
There are always a few joy killers
who predict dark things for the fell
low who takes the reins as manager
of losing ball club. He gets about
as much encouragement as the allies
are giving Won Hindenburg these days,
and if he is one of the kind who can
be discouraged easily he has about as
much chance of getting by as snow
ball in a pot of boiling oil.
The Pirate managerial job this year
looks just about as big as all outdoors,
and the material Bezdek inherited
when he took the wheel was not cal
culated to bring joy to any managers
heart. But Bezdek did not hesitate
when the berth was offered to him.
He simply stuck out his jaw and went
to it. And he may show the critics q
few things about overhauling a ball
club that they have never dreamed of.
Stranger things have happened Gin
