"Brower has good pair of hands.

TALKED TO OWNERS.
Hummel told Griffith that he was
without the necessary authority to

went back to Reading and closed the
deal for Brewer. He then skipped
down to Washington to attend to some
other business, and it was from there
that he telephoned to Secretary Ey-
mon here, stating the good news.
1t is no breach of confidence to say
right here that Brewer is to be tried
at third base with the Washington
club. After looking at Bob Meusel,
of the New York Yankees, President
Griffith is convinced that Brewer
might prove another Frank Baker at
third base, not especially agile but
able to stop anything and throw twice
as far as needed to get the ball over
to first in time.
"Meusel is a tall fellow, much taller
than the average third baseman, but
he doesn't look so bad at third" says
Griffith. "Maybe Brewer will do as
well. It's worth n trial, anyway"
After his unsuccessful attempt to
become a member of the Washing ton
club in 1915, Brewer drifted around
a bit. He went South with the Phil
lies one spring as a pitcher, but fail
ed to make good, and was released
outright. The war came along and
he quit playing ball until it was over,
he now comes to light as a first base
man of the Babe Ruth type with the
fail
HITS MANY HOMERS.
According to the latest figures seen
by President Griffith, Brewer was hit
ting for almost 400, and had already
crashed twenty-five home runs. 1t
is his proclivity with home run
smashes that has earned him his nick
name of Babe Ruth of the Interna-
tional League.
Brewer is about twenty-six years
old, weighs around 1876 pounds, and
stands more than six feet in the air.
With Joe Judge incapacitated for at
least a week or ten days, Secretary
Eynon Is making strenuous efforts to
have Elmer Bowman report at once.
Bowman has been turned over to the
Washington club by Minneapolis, but
so far he has not put in an appear
ance. 1t is to hurry him along so as
to be of some immediate service that
Eynon is now hustling. Bowman is
supposed to be suffering from a sore
arm, but IL he can hit ball and
catch a thrown ball, he will be earn
ing his salt with the Griffs until Judge
is able to get back into the lineup.
Mike Martin examined Judges leg
and found a strained tendon in the
back of the right thigh. 1t is very
sore, and Judge can walk, but that's
all. There is no possible chance of
his getting into the game again for
week or so, even with the important
Cleveland series about to begin to-
morrow.
Nothing has yet been seen of Fred
Thomas, though he may drop in st
any time. Mcbride does not look for
him now until tomorrow at Cleveland.
He will then go to short stop, as
Frank Ellerbe can just barely run on
his weak knee.

NEGRO WANTED WAS
 IN ANOTHER JAIL

Business of importance called West, a negro who lives in an alley between Buchanan street and the rail- road, to Prescott the other day. The business was so urgent that West even deserted a barrel of rapidly maturing raisin and apricot mash to attend to it, according to officers.
 When Deputy Sheriff Blanco went to the shack in which the negro lives yesterday he found the barrel of mash but failed to locate the negro. A neighbor informed the officer that West had gone to Prescott on import ant business. By using the long dis tance telephone the officers here as certained that West was being held in jail at Prescott
 According to the Prescott officials West had quite candidly told them he had come to the city for the purpose of finding his wife and killing her. He represented that "the power higher up had sanctioned such action and that any interference with his plans would meet the disapproval of some of the highest officials of the state.
 If West successfully disentangles himself from his troubles in Prescott he will probably be brought here to explain to federal authorities what power higher up" has granted him permission to manufacture liquor.

It's All Tn the Game
 Two newspaper men now in Phoenix who at one time worked together in an eastern city were discussing expert ences in the profession.
 Something happened today that shows how people here expect us to go chasing around after every little item that might better be given over the phone" said one of the men. 'The telephone rang, and I answered. This is the Blank store said the man on the other end of the line. Send re- porter over right away.
 What's the nature of the story?' l asked
 "'Well, can't tell you over the phone'
 Gan you give me an idea of it2 We're pretty busy, you know. and it takes time to walk several blocks for something that I could take over the wire in a minute
 We'll said the man. Miss So-and- So, who's been with us two years. is leaving to go to the Dash company as head clerk.
 That's nothing unusual. here" said the other reporter. There was a sup posedly accidental shooting in a town in Missouri where I was working and made a date with a friend of the victim, to find out what he knew about It. AIleT waiting a While TOT nm 10 show up I saw him, and he started to tell me about the affair.
 Tn his hurry to impress upon me that it was an accident, and couldn't have been suicide, he must have de- cided I would take it all in, and stretched a point without knowing it. He explained to me that the victim of the accident had been cleaning his automatic, and that the shell ejector had not been working properly. After snapping it several times, he concluded it was empty, and went on working with it. In the course of the operation the pistol went off while it was pointed at his head-hence the fatal accident
 But the funny part of it was that the accident as it was supposed to have been, took place when the victim was absolutely alone. Nobody could have seen him, and he died at once The man I was talking to didn't know any more about the accident than l did, but was just trying to keep us from thinking it might have been sui eide 1 don't suppose he knows yet that he overreached himself in his explanation"

ANCIENT ROME cLEANLY CITY

The modern Rome is built on the site of the ancient field of Mars, a spot no less venerable than the Olympic Stadium, where the Romans practiced the gymnastic exercises which, as among the Greeks, contributed not little to their military fame.
 The city, after it was rebuilt (for the Gauls burned the greater part ot iD, was gradually improved; yet 1t always contained many houses of wood and many of brick; the streets were irregular, for the most part narrow, and the houses very high.
 The law that none of those in the principal streets should exceed 70 feet in height was introduced in the time of Augustus, who established regula,- tions for security against fires. The oldest work that has been maintained from the time of the kings to the pres ent day are the astonishing Cloaca
 which preserved the cleanliness of the i city. The acqueducts remain from the time of the consuls.-Detroit News.

Little Stories
 Of The Town

shooting gallery, can thank a troubled conscience for the return of very val uable revolver.
 A young man carrying a suit case asked Shorty to allow him to change his clothing in a small room connected with the shooting gallery. Permission was granted. About an hour after the stranger had departed Shorty looked for revolver which he had left in the room. 1t was gone. The revolver was valued at about $10o and was one which Shorty" had no desire to lose.
 A vigorous search was started. 1t was learned that the stranger had taken the stage to Tempe and the off ciaIs of that town were asked to look for him. Shorty conducted a per sonal search for the man in Tempe for an entire day without results.
 Shortly after he had returned to Phoenix, tired and disgusted from his search, a boy came to the shooting gall lery.
 Here's package for you the boy said and the next minute was gone The revolver had been returned.
 The Power Of the Law
 The majesty of the law has the power to awe more than the human grist which comes to it's mill, it was learned last night when a young man was brought into the local oplice head quarters for investigation.
 The youth had been making an ef- fort to sell watch. which it was be- lieved by the police might be one that had been stolen. The me-piece was thick. heavy set and hearty looking machine, one Chat few persons would suspect of having weak heart, but when it was passed across the counter for inspection by Night Captain Sutherland. it stopped running with out warning.
 Greatly incensed that his treasure had been taken foul advantage of, the youthful owner demanded that it be returned to him. The captain com piled with the owners desire and as soon as the watch had joined it's keep CT, it resumed it's merry thicking. The watch was again passed over to Captain Sutherland, and once more 1t ceased it's activity.
 At this second demonstration Of what is supposed to have been either fear of the authorities or fidelity to it's owner, the captain concluded that it would be best to allow the pair to go their way in peace.
 When the watch left the office with | its master it was keeping the best of time.
