SMARTEST CATCHER
IN CAPTIVITY WAS
THIS CLASS 8 BIRD

Gene Mccain, now scouting for
the Cincinnati Reds, claims the
smartest catcher that ever played
in baseball was a fellow who worked
in a Class B league in New England
a good many years ago and never
got any higher. Mccain doesn't
even remember the catcher's name,
but tells this story to back up his
claim.
The catcher tagged a base runner
on a close play at the plate, but the
umpire gave the runner the de-
cision. The catcher Immediately
started an argument with the jumps
that was real hot, when the mana
ger of the catcher's team trotted
in from left field.

to his catcher.

lost five games In a row and the scores

PLAYERS STRONG
FOR THE MAZUMA
With Sunday Ball in New
York, Athletes Ask Raise.

Scarcely had the news reached them
from Albany that the stage was all set
for Sunday baseball than the players
began pulling for a share Of the kale
that would accrue to the magnates.
This was not unexpected; in truth the
club owners anticipated that very thing,
writes Len Wooster In the Brooklyn
Times.
That the athletes will be properly
taken care Of goes without saying, but
first IL must be determined to what ex-
tent the clubs will benefit by Sunday
ball. There seems to be an impression
abroad that the Saturday ]attendances
will be affected adversely; as the half
holiday crowd will not flock to the
grounds in such numbers as when there
was no opportunity Of seeing the teams
play on Sunday. This dope probably
will not hold, but even II 1t should, the
loss. which at most Will be nominal,
will be more than made up by the
patronage of the laboring and other
classes which have been absentees at
league baseball parks.
The magnates will be gamers and the
players, sure of 1t, are after a slice OF
the prosperity that will come to them.
Close students Of conditions see In Sun
day baseball the realization OF a great
need to help place the game on a sound
financial basis. 1t has been anything
but milk and honey for many a club
since the Federal league in 1914 dis
turbed harmony.

STATE COUNCIL
 ID AID SOLDIERS

How important a part is to be played by the state council of defense during the next few months of the reconstruction period, is shown in an outline compiled by the national council as the result of numerous re- quests for help coming in from vari- ous branches and departments of the government. While some . of these do not affect Arizona, the more ur- gent ones are of vital importance in the pioneer state.
 One of the new problems not yet fully solved in Arizona is that of re- turned soldiers, which is in charge of II Thane Cook, formerly head of Phoenix high, and a member of the faculty of Flagstaff normal. The state council has been asked to cooperate with Prof. Cook in this educational work, and also with the board of vo- cational education of which I. Colodny ! is director.
 i Perhaps the best known work in which the state council cooperates is with the department of labor, repre- sented here by Thomas J. Croaff, fed eral director. The divisions for the employment of returned soldiers, the soldiers bureaus and community la bor boards are assisted by the state council in the orientation of the fight. ing men from France.
 The war department asks the state council to continue the giving of free legal aid to soldiers and to see that each receives his full benefits under the civil relief act. Another duty is to aid in the detection of deserters during the period of demobilization when desertion is especially disas trous and hard to combat.
 Special work for the woman's com mittee of the state council, of which Mrs. Pauline O'Neill is chairman, con sists of looking after the welfare oi the children.
