Birthday PARTY.


James Walsh celebrated his fourth
birthday with party at his home on
Grant avenue Sunday afternoon. Many
of his playmates were present and as
they stated, they had great time
The game which seemed to make the
kiddies happiest was the donkey
game, in which each child was given
a tail, then blindfolded and then pro-
ceeded to pin the tail on the donkey.
They had tails pinned on the donkey's
eyes, nose, ears, feet and body. 1t was
side-splitting.
After this the youngsters entered
into the tastefully decorated dining
room and gathered around the table
for the birthday feast. In the center
of the table was fine, large cake with
four candles lit. Cream, cake and
candy were offered to the youngsters.
The party ended early in the eve
ming.
Owing to the downfall of rain on
Sunday afternoon the chowder of the
John J. McEvoy Association was post
poned, but VIII be held on Sunday.

CITY NOT TOGET
 PAR FUR b|G LIT
 IF WATERbONDS
Six Bids Are Received for
 Issue of $1,3OO,OOO but
 City Commission Makes No Award Meet Friday

Although the city commission had the matter of awarding d bid on the s1,300,- 900 water bonds before that body the greater part of yesterday, the consid- eration of the various bids was still in abeyance when the second meeting of the day close at 5:3o o'clock last night. The one positive fact brought out at the two meetings was that the city will not receive par for it's bonds. The closest to par of any of the bids was that of the Valley bank of Phoenix which made the city two bids, one for $1 ,290,000 and another for $1,302, 900, with the proviso attached to the sec ond bid that the entire sum shall be placed on deposit in the Valley bank without interest. The bid for $1 1902, 900 probably will not be considered, as state laws require public money to be de- posted at interest.
 Other Bids Received Other bids were as follows: The Gen. tral Finance corporation of Phoenix, $1,244,750 This bid gives the city an option of taking the bonds up at the rate of s65,000 year after the tenth year. Bolger Mosser and Willaman of Chicago, $1,244,000; Rollins and Sons and the International Trust company of Denver, $1,27S, 290; Sweet. Causey, Foster and company and Powell, Ge- rard and company of Denver, 1,227 ,000 with an optional agreement of paying the bonds at the rate of $65,000 a year after the tenth year.
 Following a consideration of the bonds in the morning, the commission adjourned until o'clock in the after noon and after a two-hour session again adjourned until 10 o'clock Friday morning.

BIBLE MUTE WITNESS IN AID OF HUSBAND
 CHARGED WITH THEFT

The family Bible was introduced in Judge Stanford's court yesterday when the wife of P. Jones Black who was charged with the embezzlement of a steer, attempted to prove that he could not have been at the Dun ranch at the time stated by the states witness.
 Mrs. Black said she had distinct remembrance of the date, for it was her wedding anniversary, and that Black, his small son and a friend, were at the river bottom on that day and could not have appeared at Dun's ranch and claimed a steer in answer to an ad- vertisement, as testified by Dun.
 With her hand of the Bible, the woman gave her testimony. The Bible was then passed to each juror who read the line giving the date of the wedding of the girl to the man now on trial for a grave criminal offense.
 The state rested its case just before the afternoon recess and the defense called Mrs. Jones to the stand. It is believed the case will go to the jury today.

COUNTY TRAFFIC MEN SET SECOND TRAP AND
 CATCH 4 MOTORISTS

For the second time within a week Sheriff Montgomery and County Traf- fife Officers Harvey F. Watson and Don Le Baron with 10 deputies stationed themselves last night at the four cor ners of the city of Phoenix and made 42 arrests for alleged violations of the motor traffic laws which compel a li- cense tag in front and rear, two lights in front and one on the back of each motor car.
 This is the second raid made by the county authorities. One conducted last Thursday night resulted in more than 125 arrests and the payment of several hundred dollars into the school fund.
 All arrested last night took the affair in good humor. One man who had just been arrested and had given his name and license number, drove off and meeting another car some 50 yards from the officers who had stopped him, at- tempted to warn the driver.
 Look out, there, you've got only one light" he called out. There's a COT down the line" he warned.
 Yes and I'm right on the job," in terposed the traffic officer who had l just reached the spot
 All those arrested last night will ap- l pear before Justice De Souza on Sat. urday, Monday and Tuesday.

Apparently the idea that Europe has
taken to baseball is very erroneous
one. .
The first American enthusiasm over
the seeming fact that England and
France had adopted our national game
is ebbing as time goes on. Those al :
lies of ours took an interest in baseball
because it was the only game playable
behind the battle lines, and not because
they thought it a superior pastime.
French journalists have devoted CON
siderable space during the past few
months discussing baseball as a real
sport, and the consensus of opinion is:
Baseball is too rough"
Many Frenchmen have attempted
baseball during the past year or So
and regret it. Being novices in field
ing. they attempted to scoop up siz-
cling grounders or to trap liners in
butter finger" fashion. The result
has been battered or broken fingers or
bumps on the anatomy over failure to
catch balls driven directly at them.
No one can take up baseball and be-
come proficient in pitching control in a
few months or a year. 1t is game, es-
pecially the pitching department of it
that must be practiced long before one
can become perfect. The French fig
ured they might prove to be exceptions
They tried it and "beaned" many d
batsman and cracked numerous ribs
with wild heaves
Had the American troops remained In
France another summer, it is possible
that the French would have learned
enough about baseball to find that i;
isn't dangerous game. But baseball
was played in France just long enough
to convince the Frenchmen that Amer
ica's national sport is one that's eX-
tremely hazardous.
The English, strange as it may seem,
insist that baseball is too slow" When
one compares baseball with cricket il
shows that the American game has il
on the English national pastime by the
proverbial mile as regards speed Yet
the English call baseball tiresome
monotonous and lacking in thrills.
Not so long ago a sport authority for
famous English publication was sent
to witness a diamond clash between two
crack mines, one representing the
