PRESCOTT BEATS CLARKDALE IN
 FIRST CAME

After an unfavorable start, the Badgers snatched victory from defeat at the hands of the Clarkdale nine, and finished the ninth with a score of 16 to II in the first interscholastic baseball game on the Yavapai county schedule
 Three outs in the first inning left the locals no score against the four runs of the Sme1terites. However, a 2 in the second was substituted for he of the locals and gave them more encouragement.
 Thompson, Jones, Poe and Mills each scored and put Prescott in the
 Id by two counts in the third in ling. With this further encourage lent, the high school nine held their own and out-did the Clarkdale team until the seventh inning. Poe's sue cessful bat put him on first and made
 point against the four made by Clarkdale's center field, pitcher, shortstop and second baseman. Previ ous to this the Badgers had secured six runs, which on top of the headway made in the second, produced F to score, leaving the Verde valley team three points to the bad.
 Although their fielding was eX- cellent, the base work of the Shelter ties didn't compare with that of their opponents, and this did them no good as was seen in the eighth inning as well as the second, third, fourth and fifth. Fourteen points were recorded ill the locals name during those in nings which were so unlucky for the Clarkdale bunch.
 In the last inning the Smelterites brought their score up to Il, with no increase in those of their oppo- nents.
 Prescott high school was. repre- sented by the following; Ralph Wei land. p; Jack Barrett, C; Jack Mills, ss; Harry Southworth, ID; Lefty Thompson, 2b; Verne Jones, 5b; liar old Poe, If; Eat" Bradley, cf; Flu gene Weiland, If.

REVERSAL. NEWS COMES
 ID CITY

Reversal of the personal injury suit of John Egich against the Con- solidated Arizona Smelling company was the subject of comment in the city yesterday. The firm of LeRoy Anderson for the appellant, was in- formed of the action of the Supreme court by the following extract from a Phoenix. paper;
 Arriving at the same end by slightly different routes, the Supreme court yesterday reversed the finding of the lower court in the case of Consolidated Arizona Smelling com pany, appellant, against John Egich, appellee, from Yavapai county This was an action for damages, the plaint- if, Egich, having been given a yer dict for S2,500
 "The plaintiff was an employe of the defendant and while working in the mine of the defendant, breaking rock with hammer while standing on a sort of barred platform called a grizzly" was injured in a curious manner. The head of the hammer with which he was working flew off, striking his right foot That precipi- tated his fall through the bars, and then the injuries complained of were suffered
 Tt was the contention of the ap- pellant that the accident was not one arising out of and in the course of his employment and due to a condi- ton of such employment as is con- templated by the employers liability law. Objection was also made to the Instructions of the court. It was On the latter ground that Justice Ross found it necessary to reverse the case and direct new trial. Justice Baker who concurred, found, however, that an employe should recover for any accident occurring in the course of events during his work.
 Chief Justice Cunningham held that the jury had disregraded the evidence relating to damages and al lowed damages not shown ill the evil dence."

BLOW TELLS MINER

T. J. Laird, the veteran miner of Groom Creek, while standing under some workingmen in the Bashford building second story yesterday, was hit by a box, accidentally dropped. He says he thought the "stope had cayed in" on him and for a minute or two thought he was out of cont mission The blow sent him to the ground in a half dazed condition but he soon came out of it and was little the worse for the jolt. He says he was fortunate that the blow struck him on the front part of the head and in a flatwise way of the box, and that he was lucky that it did not strike him cornerwise.

CHURCH ID HAVE DR. URCH AS
 PASTOR

The members of the Congrega- tional church are rejoicing over the coming of Dr. w. H. B. Urch to take the position as pastor for that denomination. The doctor is not a stranger in the city, he having done substitute work here during his vaca- ton last year for six months and is pronounced by many of the regular churchgoers as one of the most elo- Quent preachers ever heard in Pres colt.
 He comes from Oklahoma City, where he has been located for some time, and as that is a city with a genuine western spirit, Dr. Urch fitted right in to the society of the people of Prescott. He liked the people very much here, and the peo- pie liked him, and he has chosen this place instead of staying in larger and better paying church.
 Dr. Urch will arrive Friday and make his first appearance in the church as its regular pastor next Sun day. He has travelled around the world two or three times, and has been in nearly every country on the globe. His disoourses are very in- teresting for his grasp of the subjects handled has a lways shown a world foundation for information backing up his statements. In other words, he is a cosmopolite who will be wei comed in this city and whose work will bring good results here, as summed up by one of his enthusiastic admirers.

Thus, the Pioneer home is more of place of real human hearts and hands to the minds of the young people than mere stockade or some thing in a big house on the hill than before, and the children of Prescott to the pioneers, more like the mem ories long past for some of happy childhood days of their own, and of their own children. From henceforth a more friendly and brotherly feeling will exist.

HARD FACTS EXPLAINED
 TOUGH NUTS CRACKED
 SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT

perishable food lying where it was sure to be frozen soon did not in terest the strikers in the least-and potatoes enough to feed many a strikers hungry family froze in the field.
 Those farmers saved enough to feed their own folks but another year they did not plant any extra potatoes for the striker and his children-it didn't pay.
 Now every long-named organiza- ton in the world can pass the buck of the high cost of living along to the other fellow, but the farmtr is the man who has the last say and he knows that loud talk never grew a potato nor dug it and sacked it and shipped it to somebody's dinner table
 It takes the hardest kind of work all day long and every day to coax this old earth to yield enough for all of us to eat-and before l sum things up 1 want our May Day strikers to read this letter written by a farmer living near where I was born to a coal miner of Kansas who had stated his reasons for striking.
 This farmer begins:
 Letter To A Coal Miner.
 q live out on the prairie forty miles from nowhere. Talk abou, being lone worker in a coal mine! I worked all day in the boiling ho, sun, and half the night, to raise and harvest food to keep your wife and babies from starving.
 My good wife with me when she was able, helped me care for the live stock and mixed the cows evenings so I could work longer in the fields to help feed you and yours.
 I did not even take a day off dur ing the busy season to haul my coal from town least some of your food be wasted. When 1 thought to make a profit on my wheat our Uncle Sam uel comes along and fixed the pricy so that according to the report oi the Government Investigating com mission (to say nothing of my own empty pockets) lost money on every bushel I grew.
 Still I didn't bawl l take my medl- cine. No talk about autocracy or class legislation, or all eight hour day. It was my duty to my country and I wanted to help keep everybody fed.
 Now Mr. Coal Miner, the cold wave is upon us. My wife is confined tc her bed. and please remember that f. is just as hard for me to watch my wife and babies freeze or die from cold as for you to watch yours die from hunger
 Talking of bardships in this life, O ours, such as being deprived of fresh air and sunshine in a coal mine, ! would indeed welcome little of you; coal mine shade during harvest, and 9 -t'e of your shelter from the winter cold winds during a blizzard when ! am out with my old team trying to haul your food to market and bring home a load of coal to warm my family-if it were possible to get any coal, which is not the case at the present writing.

UNITED STATES
 DON'T WANT
 SOVIET MONEY

COPENHAGEN, Sept. 24 (by Asso- ciated Press).-Professor Lomonosoff, who is in charge of the Russian So- viet government railway contracts, has told the Associated Press cores pondent that he is disappointed be- cause the United States government has barred him from going to Ameri- ca to arrange business contracts"
 The professor showed the correspon- dent contract signed by the German locomotive trust comprising all leading German locomotive builders, including >ehe Krupp firm, for the delivery of 2,O00 German locomotives within IS
 months, the amount involved being about 5,OOO,OO0 marks.
 >'I very much regret having been un- able to place this order in America" the Soviet emissary said. 'I have lived there for years; I was always a firm beliver in the mutual interests of the two countries and had hoped to initiate business relations between them The United States government has forbidden the export to Russia of American locomotives on the plea that they are war material 1 have orders for 1000 more locomotives which I want to place in America, if only Am erica will take the business"
 Answering question whether the delivery of the German locomotives would not mean the invasion of Russia by small army of German techni- clans, LOmonOsoff said: "NO. Russia l is fully capable of supplying her own needs in that respect. We have all kinds of technical experts. Since the Polish invasion the whole of Rus sia's intelligentsia has whole hearted Iy joined the Soviet government for ces of workers"
 Professor Lomonosoff said he was going to Stockholm to inspect num- Der of Swedish locomotives which are ready for delivery.
 Since the signing of the Russo-Swed- ish contract for the delivery of 1000 locomotives to Russia, practically no Scandinavian firm has done any bus mess with Russia. Several firms have even cancelled their contracts on one plea or another. The Scandinavian attitude is strengthened by the recent decision of a large American banking | firm which, first apparently eager to enter the Russian field, has now fin ally decided to have no transactions | whatever with Soviet Russia
 Restrictions which have been i'm posed upon the trade by the United States and Russia, after the Bolshev- i1i obtained control of the latter ;oun- try, were removed by the American State Department on July 7 last. Ex- ception was made, however, in the case of shipment of materials suscep tible of immediate use for war pur- poses. The state department an nounced that individual licenses would have to be obtained before To- comotives, railroad material rolling stock and cars could be exported to Russia from the United States.
