The Wheels Turn
By Ace Hiqh

That you can get pretty nearly any thing you want if you will go after it in the right manner, is being demon strated right here in Phoenix by the base ball fans and all other lovers of outdoor sports. It took only the big mass meeting at the stadium week or so ago, to start Phoenix on it's way toward a "big league" ball park and athletic field.
 Under the magic touch of the Com mlttee of Fifteen, which, readers of the Camel's Back will recall, was pro- vlded for at the mass meting, field committee has been appointed and whirlwind campaign plotted out to put the athletic park plan across.
 Committee Personnel
 The personnel of the "field' commit tee is as follows: Col. E. Power Con- way, chairman; J. o. Sexson, Gen. eral secretary of the '. M. c. A. Francis Geary,. Kewpie, Gazette sport writer. and Caput. sport ing writer for the Republican It win be up to this field committee to do the actual work connected with the con sumation of the ball park plan for Phoenix. The Committee of Fifteen will be responsible for the general plan and securing the cooperation of every interest in the city in putting 1 the plan across.
 The general plan of campaign, as laid down by the Committee Of Eff teen at it's first meeting last Saturday l night is something as follows:
 1 To stage general tag day for the ! purpose of enrolling members in a l city-wide fans club. This, according 1 to the committee is not to include 1 baseball fans only, but outdoor sport i fans of all kinds for it is the idea of 1 the committee that if the athletic field 1 plan is to carry it must have a uni i versal appeal. It must be for the use and benefit of the football and track fan as well a5 for the baseball fan. i The fans club will also furnish a m-- dium through which the interests and desires of the fans of the city can be expressed and safeguarded.
 Big Boosters Club
 Details for the tag day are not com ? 1 plete as yet, but it is known that the workers on the streets will represent men and women, young and old, play CTS and fans alike. It is planned to sell the tags for a nominal sum, the purchaser to write out his name and address on a stub attached to the tag which will be retained by the one sell | ing the tag. Thus, at the outset said member of the committee, i've will secure a big boosters club, eAl member of which will pledge himself to the support of the ball park plan"
 So sure are the members of the committee that the campaign vii meet with immediate success, thal they request all persons who own ol rent vacant property in or adjacent to Phoenix, property they think vii be suitable as a site for such ar athletic field, to send in a description of the property to Caput, care of the Republican. Also the terms unde which the property will be loaned ol leased for such purposes. The com. mittee will then be in a position t, inspect such proposed sites and tt make recommendations. The commit tee also invites the several contract ors and the lumber companies to sent to Caput estimates for a grandstan( or bleachers to seat anywhere from thousand to fifteen hundred people Also estimates for material to bull, an eight-foot fence, estimates to quot cost per lineal foot.
 With a few facts and figures sucI as these in hand, the committee vii be in position to present the propo sition to the fans of the city for ac
 tion. 1t is probable that the commit tee will then bring the matter befor
 the city commission to see to wha extent the city proposes to support tn
 proposition. The fans will be gfvs,
 all the facts as soon as the committe
 collects them. A good committee i
 half the battle.
