"a friend OF mine who came in on
one of the night trains told me about
a funny thing which he had wit
messed" said Scion Jacobs. 1T seems
the usual nervous people who were
afraid that they would not be able
to get out of the coach the minute 1t
landed in the terminal station were
damned about the door. Now in the
bunch was a barefoot boy carrying
can of sorghum, very innocent
looking thing when the top was on,
but by some hook or crook it fell off
and a stream OF sweetness flowed
forth and every fellow jumped like a
crowd does on shipboard when a pas
senger gives the distress signal. Some
were quick enough in the dodge. but
others got messed up, while the boy,
all unconscious that he had created
near riot, quietly padded around
in the pool as unconcernedly as though
he was wading in a branch"

VERNON FORCES ID FRONT; NEEDS 0NE
 MORE ID CRAB FLAG

Bill Essick and his Vernon Tigers need but to win one game of today's double program with Wade Killefer's Los Angeles club at Los Angeles to land the pennant in one of the prettiest fights ever held in the Pacific Coast league. The Tigers yesterday made it four in five games by pounding Ald- ridge for II hits and runs, while the Angels could make but one marker on their eight bingles.
 The uphill fight of the Tiger team this week has been one of the most sensational in the history of baseball. With but seven games to play-and those seven with the leading team of the league-the Tigers faced the al- most insurmountable task of winning five in seven games to finish in front. They started the series two and one half games to the bad and if they took the odd game of the series, they would still have been one and one-half games behind.
 Now it is the Angels who must fight against odds to land in front. Killefer and his men must take both of today's double program to finish the season one and one-half games to the good. If they win one and lose one, they win be one-half game to the bad when the curtain rings down on the season to- night
 Willie Mitchell started on the mound for the Tigers today and hurled good ball for the first three innings. The Angels got to him and Essick immedi- ately sent Dawson to the rescue. The change proved a wise one, for Dawson checked the Los Angeles rally and Killefer's men were never dangerous thereafter.
 Much local interest is being mani- fest in the series which ends at Los Angeles today, notwithstanding the fact that the Tigers and Angels have the worlds series teams contesting in opposition to their little battle.
 The winner of the Coast league pen- nant will meet the St. Paul club winner of the American Association league pennant in post season series.

ANNUAL HIGH ALUMNI
 GAME WILL USHER IN
 1913 ''CR|D'' SEASON

The 1919 football season in Phoenix will be ushered in next Saturday when Coach Francis Geary of the high school will send his Coyote eleven against the Alumni War Vets in a game to test the strength of the new school squad. No final decision has yet been reached as to where the game will be played.
 Geary and his proteges have hopes of doing something next Saturday which no previous Coyote squad has ever succeeded in doing-winning the annual clash with the alumni team. In season past, the alumni have either been returned the winner or held their opponents to tie.
 But this season, things are going to he different if Geary's plans do not ,Iniscarry In the first place, he has sent his players through longer train ing period prior to the first game than heretofore. The men should be in tip-top physical condition. Signals have already been distributed to the players and they should have these mastered in time for the opening "grid'' tussle.
 Although the alumni have not yet completed plans for the game, indica- tions are that the squad will be as strong if not stronger than in past seasons. All alumni members of the school are requested to meet at the Frank Luke Jr., post of the American Legion at 7:30 o'clock Monday evening, at which time. final, plans for the

STAR COAST LICHTWEICHTS
 TO HEAD FEATURE PROGRAM WITH 6-MEN BATTLE ROYAL
Program Has Earmarks of Being Best Ring Entertainment Ever Held in South West---O'Neill Comes Back to Meet Mex ican In Bout for Valley Championship

What is believed to be the best box ing program ever arranged in the southwest has been scheduled by the Phoenix Athletic club for next Friday evening at Arcadia hall The event includes. in addition to a main bout between two of the best lightweights in the west, a special event at six rounds, a four round engagement and a battle royal.
 In the main event, Eddie Shannon of Los Angeles will exchange wallops with Willie Robinson of San Francisco, unquestionably two of the best 135- pound men in the west. This will be at 10 rounds, the men agreeing to weigh in at 135 pounds at o'clock on the afternoon of the bout.
 Valley Championship Bout
 The special event will mark the re- turn of Ira O'Neill. Phoneix favorite, to the ring after his defeat at the hands of Rufus Williams nearly a month ago. O'Neill is scheduled to go six rounds with Manuel Avalez in a bout to de- eide the middleweight championship of the Salt River valley.
 An opening event at four rounds will bring together Dutch Wilson, better known to the sporting public of Phoe- nix as Big Dutch, and Carl Melchow. These boys will go four rounds.
 The above three events would af- ford Phoenix fans one of the best pro- grams ever staged by the Phoenix Ath- letic club, but the promoters have de- cided to give fans of this community the biggest value they have ever of- fered so another big feature has been added in the form of battle royal be- tween six big husky negro boys. This is scheduled as the second event oi the all-star program.
 Are High Priced Boys
 The shannon Robinson bout in itseli will be an attraction worth going miles 10 see. The Phoenix Athletic club is the first and only club in Arizona that has been willing to pay the prices de. manded by these boys for appearances in this state. Robinson, for example demanded terms almost double those offered any other coast lightweight and of course, it was necessary to pay shannon the same, for Shannon re fused to meet Robinson for less none. than Robinson himself was getting.
 Although shannon has appeared il several bouts in this state, Robinson is visiting Arizona for the first time
Arizona republican., 1919-10-05

He arrived in Phoenix couple of days ago and has already started training at the F. A. c. quarters on East WaSh- ington street, where he goes through 90-minute workout each afternoon starting at o'clock.
 Robinson was recently matched to meet Jimmy Duffy, recognized cham pion of all coast lightweights, in 4 round bout at San Francisco but Duffy was badly injured three days before the match and it had to be cancelled Willie has met and defeated every man of note on the coast, save Shan non, who holds a decision over him in four rounds.
 Shannon's ring work is more or less widely known in this city because of his appearance in this state. Shannon recently got a decision over Tommy Carter in Miami, sport critics at the ringside giving him eight of the ten rounds, one being even and the other going to Carter. He also gave Al Mo Manus an awful trimming in Tucson, winning seven of the ten rounds, being credited with a draw in one and Mo Manus getting two. He sent McManus to the mat three times during the bout.
 Of course, all Phoenix knows Ira O'Nelll. His splendid showing againsL Rufus Williams few weeks ago won him hundreds of friends in this com munity. His gameness against over whelming odds was a revelation to old times fans.
 Has Good Reputation
 To the new generation, little is known of Avalez, although he has had considerable experience in the ring and at one time, was middleweight cham pion of this community. Fans who know him say he will give O'Neill the battle of his life.
 As to the battle royal, those fans who have never witnessed this spectacle have missed the most exciting, the most Imaginable form of sport ever de; vised. There is more action, more thrills crowded into one of these af- fairs than in a 100-round ring engage ment.
 This program, in conclusion, looks like value as big as offered in any ring in the country. Even Jack Doyle: Vernon club doesn't provide better pro. grams than the one scheduled for nex Friday evening. And, there isn't go. ing to be any advance in the regular prices.
