CUBS NOT POINTED FOR HIGH
PLACE-MANAGER KNOWS 1T
BY Mark Shields

by Mark Shields
Now that they have lost three
games in a row, the Cub athletes
need not be surprised if the hammers
are unsheathed and some fans and
experts diagram to them just how
punk they are. All of which will be
no news to Manager Mitchell and
those who follow the team closely.
Mitchell has claimed no pennant
winner. He has admitted that he has
a large task ahead and the top of the
second division will be honor enough
to content him. A place in the first
section would stamp the North Side
pilot as a stTategist of the first water.
Except in one or two Individual
cases the Cubs in the last three
games - all defeats - have been no
worse than when they opened the
season with a trio of wins over the
Pirates. The difference has been in
the pitching, upon which hangs the
position of-the club at the end of the
campaign.
In the first three games Vaughn,
Douglass and ReUtheT were excellent
twirlers, holding the enemy to a pau
city of hits and runs. In the succeed
ing three games the hurting was not
quite so good, though Hendrix was
competent enough to win with most
ball teams back of him.
As composed at present, the Cubs
will not score many runs per ball
game. There are a few men who will
hit vigorously, but the team batting
average is apt to be a lowly thing at
the final compiling Of averages.
Therefore, the pitchers must pause.
the enemy and must have back of.
them perfect fielding support and
clear thinking. In no other way can
even a modicUm of success be looked
for.
Manager Mitchell, with a few good
bricks and much weak mortar, is try
ing to build for the future and is apt

(From Wednesdays Daily)

According to reports brought 10 this city last evening by shccp-shcar- CTS, 5000 sheep have pcrishcd in the present storm at Mayer and at Cordcs owing to tine cold weather the loss Is likely 10 prove large. It was impos- siblc to ascertain the name of the owncr Of the sheep which died, the shcarcrs saying that they belonged 10 l'rcnchman.
 Shcaring has been going on in the Mayer and CordcS sections and the sudden change of weather proved too drastic for the sheep that had been deprived of their fleece. It is said that the owners of the sheep at Cordes moved many of them to the Black Canyon country when the storm broke thus avoiding the disas- ter which overlook the sheep at Mayer.
 Owing to the telephone lines being down it was impossible to verify the report or get details of weather condi- tions in this and other sections of the northern part of the State.

THE TRAINED NURSE

The trained nurse is a ministcring angel who is hired to let other people sleep.
 There arc two people who have proven that the world would be bet ter off if sleep had never been invent cd. One of them is Thos. A. Edison and the other is the bright-cycd train cd nurse who can sit up all night for week and look as fresh as a plate cf homegrown lettuce Mir. Edison has not used any sleep to speak of in lis business for years, and his close friends and associates say that when he feels any coming his way he holds bis head under cold water faucet until the attack passes.
 When a nervous, high-strung busi- ness man comes down with an ulcer atcd tooth which hangs on like one armed man at club dance he refuses to allow any sleep to enter the house, thus making 1t necessary to engage nurse who is accustomed to sit bolt upright for weeks at a stretch without uttcring blink of any kind.

All will sympathize with the wish of Judge Stanford to conclude the govcrnorship contest which has drag ged its weary length through five months assuming Protean shapes. II was understood in the beginning that the only thing to be determined was whether more votes had been cast for Governor Campbell or for former Governor Hunt. The latter defeated by about 30 votes in total vote of more than 10000 was warranted in asking for a recount to determine whether errors which might wipe out or reverse that slender majority had been made It is said that the former governor declared then that he want ed to take no advantage of any tech nicality to defeat the expressed will cf the voters of every precinct. It was not contendcd that fraud had con tributed to the majority against the former governor.
 In the beginning the principle was laid down that the will of the voter when it could be determined by his tallot should be respected. The strict prescriptions of the law were not to be rigidly insisted upon except where by a departure from them one candi- date or tine other had been injured. The will of the voter was to be re- garded as paramount. It has gener- ally been so regarded in election con tests in the past
 Douglas precinct No. was the first contested precinct. There 1t was shown there had been a wholesale disregard of all the precautions the law throws about the ballot There could be no doubt that this disregard had resulted in disadvantage to one of the candidates. The evidence showed that the circumstances during the voting were inimical to Governor Campbell and the ballots themselves showed that at least 47 ballots cast for him had been awkardly changed so as to make it appear that they had been cast for Governor Hunt 4 rot, toner. more criminal situation was never exposed in an election contest. The vote of the precinct was thrown out but only half the injury Governor Campbell had suffered was removed.
 At this point the character of the contest was changed. The attorneys for Governor Hunt insisted that the principle that the will of the voter sLould be paramount, should be aban doncd. Snowflake precinct was at

COUNCILS WORK CON-
 TINUES IN PEACE TIME
(From Saturdays Daily.l

Conservation for war purposes of men, money and material, as proposed and actually undertaken by the State Defense Council, in cooperation with the National Defense Council, will continue after war is over and form highly important part of the States duty to itself and its country, accord ing to Judge F. O. Smith, chairman of the law committee of the council, who returned yesterday from the or ganization meeting in Phoenix. While refusing to be lingo about this mat ter, Judge Smith regards the shortage or everything actually needed by this government for the prosecution of the war, the aiding of its allies and the pre- servation of harmonious nation al life, as something to arouse even the most optimistic.
 The broad scope of the work under taken by the council is attested by the variety of the committees 1t has named, choosing men not only from its own membership but from the higher class of industry and com mcrce in the State. Nothing is to be left undone to assure the United States of America the best of team play from the newest State.
 The reason the councils work, prosecuted either by itself or less unwieldy body after the war, will be found vital when hostilitics are end cd, is that the need of such work has been found so keenly essential. It took a world war to bring this fact home. Now that an international cataclysm has awakened America, there can be no doubt that such con scrvational measures as have been adopted by the councils of this and all other States, will be so highly prized that they will be continued in effect, according to Judge Smith.
 The first work of the council is 10 make a survey and census of the State. so the authorities may know to TT" just what can be depended on.
 George H. Smalley of Tucson has been engaged as the permanent paid secretary of the organization: to- gcthcr with the chairman, Dwight B. Heard of Phoenix, lie has opened of ices in the State house, where all letters will be received and all meet inCs held.

WASHINGTON, April 20.-Emer- gcncy orders for 6,00O Lewis machine guns for the army and navy have been placed by the government although the Amcrican-made weapon, which has been the subject of much bitter controversy has not been adopted as the standard light machine gun for the army.
 Tests of the Lewis and other light weapons will take place May it was said at the department as a result of which final decision would be reached. The Lewis gun, once re- jccted by the American government, has become one of the greatest fac tors of Entente armamentS on the wo stern front

CONTEST MUST CLOSE
 NEXT SATURDAY

PHOENIX, April 2l. - Saturday, April 2S, was set by Judge Stanford as the time for closing the contcstee's case, whether all evidence is in or not When Judge Sloan asked the court to set date for taking depositions in Eager, Apache county, Senator Ives raised an objection and made lengthy argument against allowing another continuance or delay, accus- ing the contestec of filibustering and prolonging the case to keep Governor Campbell in office as long as possible. He read stipulation made by the at torncys at the beginning of the con test which was an agreement that no longer than a week was to be con srmed by either side in preparing case against Q precinct where fraud was alleged. Ives asserted that next Wednesday would be a week since Sloan started the investigation of the several precincts and asked the court 10 close the case at this time.
 In answering the attack of Senator Ives, Judge Sloan appealed to the court to take consideration of the fact that when the stipulation referred 10 was made, there was no intimation t,at Snowflake would be taken up. This investigation changed their en- tire plans and preparations, Judge Sloan said. Judge Campbell added that the court should also take into consideration the fact that the con tcstant has occupied more than 60 per cent Of the courts time since the case opened.
 There were several lively tilts among the attorneys during the morn ing when sarcastic and satirical re- marks were passed back and forth. judge Campbell was caught with a sheer on his face which Attorney Struckmcycr considered an insult to him, and told the court about it. A few minutes later, Judge Campbell was rcsenting an insinuation made by Senator Ives.
 "I do not care what Struckneycr says" Campbell remarked in a griev- cd tone, but to have an eminent law yer such as Ives say we arc wilfully attempting to delay this case, hurts me"
 Cottonwood, Swansea. Douglas No. }, Blue, Jerome, Miami No. ;, Oat- man, Scligman, Eager, Curtis and kcohan Ranch precincts were named for investigation by the contestce. Judge Campbell protested against set ting a fixed time for closing the case, claiming that this number could not be thoroughly investigated in so short a time.

FRONTIER CELEBRATION
 A GO, SAY MERCHANTS
(From Sundays Daily.)

The Frontier Days celebration, July ?, }, 4 and ,, is a go. With an overwhelming majority of the sub scribers to the l9l6 Frontier Days or record in favor of the annual classic, all doubts as to holding the cclebra- ton this year were set aside ycstcr- day. 1t Thursdays meeting of the chamber of commerce, although that body went on record as favoring hold ing this years celebration, it was de cidcd to leave the absolute decision to a majority vote of the subscribers. The committee then appointed by President Haworth. composed of Harry BriSlcy, Frank Foster and II. n. .Aitkcn started carly Friday morn ing to canvass the situation and com l.lctcd its labors yesterday noon, with tic result that large majority of the business and professional men, who constitute the real supporters of the Frontier Days, were in favor of hold ;rg this years celebration.
 l. was pointed out that the few who voted in the negative, largely from a patriotic standpoint, stood ready and willing to put up their share as here toforc and that the work would pro cced with absolute harmony. This means that the 1917 Frontier Days will be celebrated in a larger and better manner and that the best cxhi- bition ever will be staged in the Mile High City.
 The only disScnsion arose as to whether the celebration this year should be held, in view of the war conditions. However, the decision which has generally been reached throughout the State of Arizona and also other States in the union. appears to be that of going ahead with all normal activities, such as the Frontier Days
 This year there is no question that the numbers in attendance will great ly increase over that of other years. Prescott has been crowded for months past and the coming of Summer al ways brings a large influx of Summer visitors from the heated sections of the State, particularly the Salt River valley and Tucson. The annual re- union of tho ElkS had already been planned for Prescott, with the express purpose of the local ElkS. of having the Frontier Days to offer as an at, traction. The local lodge is going ahead with its plans for the reception of the State herd, and that means some celebration when the plans arc all perfected.
 Two motion picture companies have signilicd their desire of entering this field, prior to the Frontier Days and taking pictures during and after the celebration. Thc concession will be let 10 the larger firm for the exclusive right Of film taking during the cclc- nr2tiou.
