Water service to approximately 15 per cent of the shareholders in the Salt River valley project was discon- tinued at midnight last night as pen alty for failure to pay the first install- ment Of the 1920-1921 assessment. The assessment, which became delinquent at midnight, amounted to s2.70 per acre
 There was rush of shareholders to pay the installment yesterday, nearly F per cent of the otal number paying on the lastday before delinquency. It gave hope to even a better showing in the next few days to come, off cials of the association being confi- dent that shareholders will be able in some way to make payments as provid- ed in the assessment.

BY DEAN SNYDER

 Buying a player for his fielding abil- ities and finding that he is also. nifty slugger. is the luck of Iris Speaker. In thls first few games as a regular with the Cleveland Indians Joe Sewell is cutting as big d swath with his bat as he is with his shortstopping.
 With almost uncanny foresight Speaker had already secured an option on the New orleans player before the Ray Chapman tragedy. When the brilliant Cleveland shorstop was struck down Speaker paid the Pehcans a neat sum for an immediate delivery of the Dixie pastimer.
 First Flash
 Some youngsters play over their heads the first few feeks when they first come up to the big show, but if Sewell can keep on doing it for few days more he may be the cog that will cause the American league cloth to fly from the Cleveland flagpole.
 The kid is slapping the Ban Johnson apple with as much confidence as he did the Dixie pellets.
 Sewell is a product of the University of Alabama baseball team. He is in the majors before completing his first full year in the minors.
 Dobbs Picked Him
 Johnny Dobbs. manager of the New ! Orleans Pelicans from whom Speaker | picked the peachy shortstop. says that Sewell is the best player he ever sent up to the big show and he is the gem who gave both Jim Bagby and De Pratt their first passports to the big orchards.
 Dobbs was tipped off to the fact tha- Sewell was a promising player by Ward McDowell former manager O the Birmingham City league. Tn, youth was then playing on the 'varsit. team at Tuscaloosa.
 Pal Is Star
 Ward told Doobs that he had seer a pair of flashy players on the univer sity nine which he ought to get for tn Pels. The other players name wa Stephenson. Dobbs made a special tril to Birmingham and looked the lad over. As soon as he set his eyes ol them he opened up negotiations whicl resulted in his getting Sewel befor the completion of St. Louis and Phila delphia major league scouts Ina blocked the deal
 Speaker secured and option on tn youngster while the Indians wer training at New Orleans last sprins but had not intended to exercise until this fall. Stephenson, who ! Sewelfs pal. will get a trial with tn Indians next year.
