HeYe TheYe Everywhere
ID PHOENIX FANS WANT BOX SCORES
 IN BASEBALL NEWS
(BY cAPUD

There have been Q great many com ments made by the baseball fans Of Phoenix because The Republican is not carrying the box scores of the Pacific coast league. There will also be many more comments, perhaps, when the big league scores come through without being boxed. An explanation is due why these detailed baseball reports have been omitted this year.
 Before the beginning of the coast league season, which is the first in the United States to open, The Associated Press queried all the newspapers on this circuit, which includes all Ari- zoua cities, as well as cities in Texas, New Mexico and Colorado. Fl Paso, Amarillo, Pueblo, Colorado Springs and Trinidad are also served by this cir cult from Denver. Each of the news papers was asked if it wished to pub lish the box scores, all being entitled to a vote. When the votes were tallied, the great majority opposed the print ing of these scores, and as a conse- quence, they were left out of the dis patches that cover baseball from the coast. Neither will they be included in the reports of big league games.
 About week ago, the Fl Paso Times requested that box scores be included in the night report. The question was not reopened and probably will not be, unless there is a change in the opinions of the sporting editors of the important newspapers.
 The sporting editor of The Republi- can will be glad to consider any re- quests from the Phoenix fans, relative 10 the publication of box scores. Pos sibly, if the demand is large enough here, coupled with other requests from the other cities, the recent decision may be reversed. If you, as a reader of ball gossip and news, have a special i1terest in the matter. make your wishes known by addressing Sporting Editor care The Republican.

 Mrs. Bundy (May Sutton) started off strong and took the first six games, winning the set with ease. Mrs. Bur dy's terrific drive seemed to trouble Miss Baker, as it kept the state cham pion in the back of the court, where exceptional care was needed for each stroke. Mrs. Bundy continually placed the ball and had Miss Baker running all over the court, which seemed to tire her.

Uniforms of Khaki to Be Replaced By Flannel-Big Leagues Start Out With Great Promise of Banner Year of History-Many New Faces Will Be seen-Many Old Ones Mssed-Play Ball

NEW YORK. April 19.-The coming week will usher in another baseball season under conditions which the ma jor league magnates, players and fans hope and expect will be more fruitful than those of the past few years. With the blight of war lifted from the na- tional sport it is the belief in all sec thons that the game will rebound to the heights of popularity which it en- joyed previous to the devastating sweep of worldwide hostilities.
 LeagIfe officials and club owners, with this idea in mind, have devoted the past few months to preparing for a new period in baseball and their han diwork is evident in many directions. Radical changes are made in methods and system of conducting the big leagues at the annual meetings of the magnates. Individual clubowners have

 ADMISSIONS TO BE 0 TRIED BY STATE.

Batesyille, Jan 8.-When Tom Ad- lisson, Hard Adkisson and James Blakey, who are under indictment for the murder of Porter Hazelwood of Cleburne county, and for harboring deserters, appeared before the federal court yesterday their case was re- manded to the state courts and they will be tried in ,Cleburne county for murder. Bill Campbell, L. A. Kirken- dall and R. s. Slower, who were brought before court charged with failing to register, were sentenced to three months each in the Jackson county jail. They say they are con- scientious objectors.
 Several other cases were disposed of by the federal court yesterday and court adjourned the same day. Three negroes were fined on whiskey charg- es, two s25 each and one $50.
 If the Adkissons are convicted in the state court the federal charge against them probably will be dis missed. The Adkissons sprang into the limelight last summer when they resisted arrest on the charge of evad- ing the draft and harboring desertersS Porter Hazelwood, a member of the sheriff's posse, was killed during the battle with the mountaineers.
 The Little Rock machine gun com pny of the National Guard was sent to the mountains with machine guns to aid in the search for the fugitives. The Adkissons, after hiding for sev- eral days, surrendered one by one and were placed in jail in Little Rock.

AMERICANS FIRST
 THROUGH THE LINE

London, Jan. 3.-American troops were the first to break the Hinden- burg line, says the Daily News in it's comment today on the report of Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig on the operations from the end of April to the close of hostilities. The News says that at least the first mention of break through contained in the field marshal's report was in the course of his description of the days work on September 29, in which he wrote:
 North of Bellenglise, the 30th American Division, Maj. Gen. E. M. Lewis, having broken through the deep defenses of the Hindenburg line, stormed Bellingcourt and seized Hou- roy. On their left the 27th American Division, commanded by Major Gen. eral O'Ryan, met with very heavy enfilading machine gun fire, but pressed on with great gallantry as far as Jouy, where bitter struggle took place for possession of the viii lage. The fighting on the whole front of the Second American Corps was severe, and in Bellingcourt, Nou- roy, Gillemont farm, and number of other points, amid the intricate de- lenses of the Hindenburg line, strong bodies of the enemy held out with grat obstinacy for many hours. These points of resistance were grad ually overcome, either by the support troops of the American divisions or VI by the Fifth and Third Australian divisions"

EX-MOONSHINER IS
 HONORED AS HERO.

Fort Smith, Jan. 8.-Guy Hartman, who with others, furnished one of the sensations of the day when it was found that for years they had operat- ed large distillery in Fort Smith without the government knowing it, has been promoted to captain of the Sixth Infantry in France in recogni- ton of gallantry in action against the Germans. Hartman, against whom half dozen indictments are still pending in the United States Dis trict Court here, has been recom- mended also for the medal of honor, the highest military award of Amer ica, and for the Distinguished Service cross.
 Hartman, whose companions in the moonshine enterprise that cost the government, it is said, half million dollars in revenue, has also been men, toned four times in army orders for his heroic work Out of 50 officers who accompanied the Sixth Infantry to France only four survive, and all of the survivors have sustained wounds. Hartman has engaged in every battle and in every march in that infantry since it left the United States.
 Following his forfeiture of S25,- 900 bond and his flight to Mexico, Hartman served as a scout to the Pershing expedition in Mexico.

Poplar Bluff, Mo-, Jan. S.-Poplar Bluff and Butler county have gone dry, according to early returns of the local option election today, although official figures have not been re- ceived.

 The election was one of the hardest fought ever held in this community. The attention of a vast territory sur rounding Poplar Bluff has been at tracted.

practical value as a screen. Where,

employed 1t is seldom that the owner
feels willing to abandon them for the
more common balustrade. Set before
windows, also, they prove desirable
and effective screens, satisfactorily OBJ

yet almost never interfering with the
view from within. Besides this. their
ornamental value is go great and the
foliage of the plants really helps to
make the rooms so much cooler during
the hot days of summer that 1t is not
to be wondered at that they are be-
coming popular everywhere.
Another important feature OF the
