Water Polo Gives Promise
OF Becoming Popular

The recent water polo match be-
tween the Yale University and New
York A. c. teams proved two things
conclusively, first, that the collegiate
type Of aquatic contests, with it's hand
to hand encounters and lively scrim-
images, is extremely popular with both
players and public; second, that the
oft-repeatel claims as to it's danger
Gus nature are totally unfoundcd.
And these facts are at present very
much to the point, because many are
anxious to see the varsity sport adopt
ed by the A. A. U. for regular club
competition. Yet the authorities seem
not in favor of the step, having dis
carded few years ago American water
polo, of which the college game is but
slight modification, in order to make
the less strenuous soccer" type the
official national contest
Rough Battles Responsible
The change was decided upon. it may
be recalled, after some pretty rough
championship battles had taken place
But it was never taken into consitl-
Grafton that the trouble was due sole
ly TO the appointment OF weak and IN
competent referees, who reused the an
tagonism of the players by unwar-
ranted decisions, then hadn't the back
bone needed to control the situation.
Instead, the cry went up that the
game was nothing but trial Of brute
strength, quite devoid of science. and
that the risk Of serious injury was.
therefore, ever present. SO it was cast
out and replaced by soccer, in which
it is y foul to even touch rival not
IN possession Of the ball.
1t may here be mentioned, incident
ally, that for more than n decade the
colleges have run off annual champion
ship tournaments at virtually the same
game, but under able referees. and not
single injury has been suffered by a
player in the long period.
The recent match, however, fur
nished even more conclusive evidence

Ruth and Eleanor Smith E.x-
pected to Furnish Thrills
at Columbus, Ohio

The womcn's 1O0-yard swimming
championship of the new Allegheny
Mountain A. A. t. district will be COM
peted for on Saturday in the pool of
the Athletic Club of Columbus, Ohio
The event holds quite unusual interest
because thirteenyear twins, Ruth
and Eleanor Smith, Of the home organ
ization, stand even favoritcA for the
title and both are confidently expected
TO travel the classic course under the
state record
These two youngsters, novices three
months ago, have shown amazing prog
ress under the able guidance Of Coach
Robert Zimmerman, the former anna
teur champion of Canada, and they are
not only in line at present for district
laurels in free style swimming ard
fancy diving, but .ney have actually
beaten in practice the women's Amer
can record for the breast stroke. so
must be granted the best chance at the
national crown in this branch Of nata
ton.
One is bound to speak Of them col
iectiyely, for there is no making dis
tinction between them. Apart from
locking, talking and acting so much
aiikc that their own teammates never
know one from the other, they are SO
closely matched in ability that one can
never tell from day to day which one
rs likely 10 come out on top in a COM
petitiye test.
Ruth will improve suddenly and de
feat Eleanor in practice, then the lat
ter Will take a greater leap and turn
the tables. And 40 it goes on, first one,
then the other, victor, but always BY
a quite immaterjal margin. The out
come OF the Saturday race Is awaited
with keen anticipation.
Speaking of future champions, the
recent performances of Cyril Carroll,
Of the New York A. e., stamps him a
most dangerous candidate for the ma
1ional crown in plunging for distance.
Gonsistently, Of late. he has glidcd
the difficult 75-foot home pool under
1hc siztY second time limit. and this
combined display of unusual skill and
reliability promises To make him ex-
tremely hard 10 beat, for very few

The plea of the democratic par
ty to its members is to stand by
the men who are whole hearted
ly supporting President Wilson
in this war, but in Navajo county
there were enough democrats,
aided and abetted by some re-
publicans who registered as dem
ocrats, to defeat County Attor-
ney Larson for denomination be-
cause he did his duty IN appeal
ing the case of a wealthy society
favorite who lives in Holbrook.
1t is all right to stand by the Pres
ident to enforce the draft law
against the poor boy with no in
fiuence, but exception must be
made for the fellow with money
and influence. Unfortunately
Mr.. Larson is no respector of
persons in the discharge of his
duty, and the yellow jaundiced
society bud opened his money
bags to defeat an honest patriotic
official for his presumption. Mr..
Larson, however, has been pre-
vailed upon to run as an indie
pendent candidate f or county
attorney. and it remains to be
seen if the yellow streakers have
money and influence enough to
defeat him at the general cleo
tion.

When did Homer Wood get to
be the representative of organic
ed labor in Arizona? BY what au-
thority does he speak? To what
particular branch of organized
labor does he belong? To the
best of our knowledge Homer
Wood is simply a professional
politician, always with an eye
open for the main chance to fat
ten at the public crib, and at the
present time he is making a big
noise as the true representa-
tive" of labor so he can further
the interests of Fred T. Golfer.
the democrat nominee for COVER
nor. With the election of Golfer
he expects to secure a fat ap-
pointive job for himself, and
after that the laboring men can
Shift for themselves until another
election rolls around. And yet
with this kind of a record Homer
Wood presumes to read William
Nagle out of the ranks of organ
lied labor. William NagIe is
simply a workingman, the real
friend of organized labor, a man
without any political ambitions.
and with no desire to be recog-
nized as a political leader. When
such men as Nagle can be read
out of the ranks of organized la
Dor by such as Homer Wood. it !
will be sad day for labor, and
# Fred Golfer thinks the antics

democratic nominee, no good 10y

Just so long as organized labor
