RETAILERS WIN
FROM HIGH SCHOOL
ADMINISTERED DRUBBING
TO LEAGUE CHAMPIONS
FRIDAY
OUTPLAYED THEM
Errors and Timely Hitting Won
for RetailerS-LindamOOd
Pitched Great Game.

The High Schoolers suffered their
second defeat of the season Friday
afternoon. 1t came at the hands of
the team that administered their only
other and first defeat of the season
some weeks ago. The score was tied
in the seventh and an extra inning
was necessary to decide the game.
The Retailers clearly outplayed and
outclassed the league champions.
The game was played close all the
way through with the exception of a
few errors on the part of the High
Schoolers, and only one run on either
side was actually earned.
Captain Land employed every STRAIT
egg known to the game to save his
club from defeat. He sent in pinch
hitters, took long chances on the
paths and resorted to bunting to force
runs across, but to no avail.
Lindamood was master of the sit
uation and pitched wonderful game.
He allowed only hits. He walked
only one man and struck out eleven
opposing batsmen. Battle Bell yield
ed two hits in the sixth when the
Retailers made thier runs, which re-
suited not only from the hits, but
from costly errors.
For five innings the two teams
played gilt edge ball, each of the
pitchers had yielded only one hit.
In the sixth the High Schoolers
crumbled, and the Retailers sent two
runners across. Here is how it hap
pened.
Pegues, the first man up, singled.
Waller followed and went out the
Bell-Nash route. Deale singled, ad-
vancing Pegues to third. Love hit a
twister between first and second and
Nash, playing slightly out of posi-
ton, attempted to field it. He failed
in the attempt and Pegues raced
home Land got the ball and threw
wild in an attempt to catch Deale
who scored on the throw.
In the seventh inning the High
Schoolers came in with the score 2 to
0 against them. Brewster led off
with a double. Brewster went to
third on Dotherow's error, and Land
started for second. Dotherow at
tempted a short throw to Waller in
an effort to catch Brewster on the
path between third and home. Wall
r erred and Brewster scored. Land
had reached third and he raced for
plate, scoring by a close call 1t
was the High Schools only earned
run. IN
They came near to an earned run
when Peck Nash sent a terrific drive
to right. 1t was clean three-base
hit, but he tried to stretch it into
homer and was caught at the plate.
Another feature of the game was
spectacular stab by Lipscomb in deep
center. He made wonderful stab
at the knee position of hard line
drive.

DRIVE ID RAISE
 FUNDS FOR THE SALVATION ARMY

The Benevolent and Protective Or funds for the benefit of the Salvation Army. The drive will commence Mon- day, May 26, and will continue throughout the entire week. The Sal vation Army was founded by the late General William Booth in London in 1865. It picked as it's battlefield the slums and alleys of the great cities of the world, and for more than half century has fought winning fight for the frfendless and the 1owly. i It conducts rescue homes, day nur- series, lodging houses for down and outters," homes for helpless aged, fresh-air farms and clinics. The Sal vation Army, back from the war, has resumed it's fight against misery and poverty in American cities and on a larger scale than ever. In order to carry on this work successfully, it must have financial backing on a broader line in the future than in the past What this civilization owes the Salvation Army is beyond computa ft5on, it is, however, safe to say that if the work it has done in the slums alone had remained undone the cost tc society in wasted life and talents would have set us back on the road oi .progress long way. Certain it is that to back the Salvation Army now in it's inspired efforts to carry on this work by giving it our moral and finan cial support support will undoubtedly help to advance us correspondingly i long way on the road to peace and prosperity.
 At a meeting held in the Clifton Hotel parlors on last Tuesday evening the following committees were ap pointed to solicit for funds in thi: drive:t
 Flat, A. L. Terry; Shelter, T. l. Axton, J. Owen Ambler; General Of fices, Andrew w. Liddell; Riverside Mitchell and Anderson, machine shops etc, L. A. Smith; East Side, Springer and P. Riley; Shannon Hill, H. c. Hen drix; Railroad, Tom Quinn; Chase Creek, F. M. Farrell, P. Andehson

POSTAL EMPLOYEES IN ARMY
 AND NAVY TO GET JOBS

WASHINGTON, D. G. Postal em- ployees, who are in the military and naval service, will be reinstated in their former positions as soon as they have received honorable discharges from the army and navy, it is official ly announced. This reinstatement will be in pursuance of a proclamation is. sued by President Wilson and a law passed by Congress to insure these employees a return to their status at the time of their entrance into the naval or military service.
 A published report that men in the military and naval service were being discharged from their positions as pos tai employees is shown to be incorrect.
 Under a ruling by the comptroller of the treasury, men subject to mili- tary orders are not eligible to employ ment in the civil service, but this does not apply to those who have received honorable discharge.

PHOENIX, May 22.- Enforcement of the new law which will regulate motor vehicles plying for hire on and after June IS next was discussed at meeting of more than hundred rep resentatives of private interests and public officials from all sections of the state here today. The conference called by the state corporation com mission was held in the Senate cham Der at the capitol.

THE G|[A BEND PROJECT WILL BE.
 PUT OVER
Plan to Redeem 72,ooo Acres; Cement Dam Will Cost $65o,ooo; Transfer of the Gila Bend Damsite and 72 900 ArabIe Acres to w. S. Gillespie, Millionaire OkIahoman, Means Com pIetion of the work Long delayed.

j. PHOENIX, May 23.-Old residents effort to redeem 72,000 acres of land around Gila Bend some twenty years ago. Much. of the land was settled, a canal was dug,- and later a big plank dam was placed across the Gila river.
 This work was done by MT. Green by Lewis Wolfley, ex-governor of Ari- zona. Charles Crowley, Redmond Toohey and Dick George dug the ca nal, went broke, and had to start over again. The project drifted into the hands of Judge Ainsworth and much of the lands were acquired by w. J. Murphy. These men have sold to w. $. Giles pie of the Red Rover mine, million aire oil man from Oklahoma. He pro- poses to build a concrete dam at a cost of $650,000 and to open the canal at an estimated expense of $75,000. There is vast area of irrigable lands, 72,O00 acres of which will be under this project from the beginning. These lands are fertile and the climate is very similar to that of the Salt River valley.
 Lack of capital and the panic of 1S93-4 caused the former venture to fail. There never was a doubt as to the quality of the land. If the dam is built in the proper place it is easy to divert the water of the Gila when ever there is water to divert.
 Those familiar with the river real ize that with a dam on bedrock there will be constant flow of water that rises after having sunk in the sands above.
 This being next door to Phoenix, the people here will rejoice if the project I is completed, as the water to be di tverted comes from point far below here, using the waste water from al other projects.

The that the execution of the manate of the people would begin as soon as pos sible. It is estimated that it will take three years to complete the county road system. The work might be pushed faster than that, but it was deemed best to synchronize the work with the availability of federal funds.

DECLARES OIL SUPPLY IS SHORT

WASHINGTON, D. c. May 22.-Be- cause of a shortage of funds, as a re- suit of the failure of the sundry civil bill to pass the last Congress, the Geological Survey is being forced to limit it's nationwide investigation of petroleum possibilities, and is concen- trating its activities in the Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico fields, where results are surer, George Otis Smith, director of the survey, an nounced recently.
 We have got to concentrate on new discoveries of petroleum" he said, i've are facing serious shortage. Con sumption has been running ahead of production. The oil situation is such that we must concentrate most of oul available forces in Texas, OklahOms and New Mexico"
 The survey has planned extensive investigations this summer in the Pa cific northwest, but will be unable tt 1 do so for lack of funds.

Cuppy, of Phoenix, petitioning for the removal of Virginia l. Hunter as executrix of the estate of Col. Rob- ert F. Hunter, attorney and expert upon Indian affairs. who died in 1912.
 The land in question consists of mil lions of acres in southern Arizona, in- cluding a large part of the counties of Pima, Pinal and Maricopa, and was acquired by Colonel Hunter in 1850.
 In his will, the colonel refers to a contract with one R M. Martin, who had an option to purchase portion Of the tract for $250,000, was to finance the litigation looking toward the clear ing of the title. This is still involved in a suit now pending in the United States supreme court.
 In this action it is claimed that the Papago Indians are wards of the gov ernment and hold title to the land Colonel Hunter, who appointed his wife, since deceased, and his daughter Virginia, executors, instructed then not to record the blanket deed to tho great tract of Arizona lands unles: there was a dispute between the gov ernment and the Indians concerning
 the boundaries of the pueblos. Thel
 it was only to be used as an 1nstru
 ment to settle the dispute.
