MESA WILL OPEN LEAGUE AGAINST
 SOX AT EASTLAkE

Old rivals meet for the first time this season when Mesa sends it's Central Arizona league team here to open the season against Manager Cass' white hosed athletes at Eastlake park this afternoon.
 Either Cfrassie or Brawner, the di- minutive southpaw. will start on the mound for the locals with Lefty Lush the assured choice of the Mesa man agement. A real pitchers battle is ex- pected to be the result.
 Both clubs have been carefully primed for the sea sons opener this aft ernoon, realizing that getting away on the right foot is half the battle to the pennant.
 The Gateway city club has been con- siderably shaken up since its last ap- pearance in this city Shumway is no longer behind the bat, Menhennett hay- ing assumed the back stopping job. Bond has also replaced Griffin at first base, while Reynolds has taken the elder Buffers place at shortstop. Frank Butler is still holding down the pivot station, with Pomeroy at the hot corner and Peterson, Grassman and Millett in the outfield.
 Big Jack Dean. Cass first choice for the slab job, will be unable to work in today's game because of a sore arm He hurt his salary wing last Sunday ana ir mas so lar failed 10 respond to treatment some fear is entertained as to whether he will be able to pitch again this season.
 Grassie, the lanky Glendale boy, will probably start on the firing line for the Sox with Brawner held in readiness to assume the hurling obligations Cfras- sic is considered one of the best seven inning pitchers in the state, but it is seldom that he has been able to last the whole distance. Tn his first game against the Oilers, for example. he had them blanked in the first six innings, only to weaken after his team had given him a seven run margin.
 The batting order for this afternoons game follows:
 Mesa Position White sox
 Second Base-Center Field .s
 Center Field-Third Base Reyholos --...........s-. Sorey
 shortstop- Shortstop fomeroy ..--.--- ...-.......-- Westfall

 ARIZONA LEAGUE
 SCHEDULE TO-DAY

First games in the new Central Ari- zona league will be played in three of the five league cities today. with Mesa opposing the Phoenix White Sox at Eastlake park this afternoon. the Standard Oil nine meeting Superior at Superior and Tempe playing Casa Grande at Casa Grande.
 The league schedule calls for 20 opening games today. All of the clubs twice on the road and twice at home.
 Ender plans drafted, no team will be away from home of two successive Sundays except in instances where the schedule makers found 1t impossible to do otherwise Phoenix will have a game each Sunday with Tempe, Mesa, Superior and Casa Grande alternating.
 All six teams in the league are con sidered evenly matched, with possibly the Standard Oil team having a slight advantage because of it's record to date. Superior is of unknown strength. il being rumored that the Magma club the past two weeks. Casa Grande al- Tempe boast clubs that are always fighting to the last ditch.
 Regular league rules will govern all contests and the umpires in charge ot the games will be empowered to order a player off the field. Enforcement of this league rule was recognized as essential to keep all games clean and free from unsportsmanlike conduct.
 The complete league schedule it is hoped, will be ready for publication at an early date.

Big CITY Stuff.

Union City's 1920 census may moi
indicate it, but we surely have grown
into a big city, and are putting on
"big-town stuff" Two hold-ups re-
ported in one week is the record. The
bad man procured good money in
both instances. 1t must be stran-
ger or strangers, for every fellow
who has resided in Obion County for
a distance" of five years knows all
about that splendid crop of hemp
a few years ago. This is
a law-abiding people, but they won't
stand for such rough stuff.
