CUPID'S DARTS

Cupid seems to be waking up to his obligations toward the month of June, when he is supposed to be on the job more than at any other time of the year.
 Obie Crockett and Anna M. Dodge, both of Parks, were married here the other day by Rev. o. s. Baum.
 Chas. B. Shaskus, 32, Ocean Park, Cal, and Ruby Solomon, of Denver, were hitched up by the same gentle man, who also fixed things so that Frank F. Sauble, 32, of Springer, N. M., and Edna Beedle, 29, of Cotton wood Falls, Kans., may hereafter eat breakfasts together.
 Dewa Chilli and Johath Betse, both of Tuba City, were licensed here and married by Robt. F. Burris, reserva- tion superintendent,
 Jose Antonio Mireles, 24, and Ma rie Contreras, 21, both of Williams, got their license here this week.

PRETTY SURE
 OF AVIATION FIELD SOON

It seems pretty sure that Flagstaff is to have that army aviation field, to be used jointly with companies oper- ating transcontinental passenger lines. State Adjutant General Ingalls, is working on the idea and it is under stood that he has line on some hang ars that can be used here. Major Gaujot, of Douglas, the gentleman who inspected the battery here a couple of weeks ago, is also cooper ating splendidly, and is of great as- sistance. Captain F.. M. Robison is looking up the site, and very likely it will be only a short time before the landing field will be ready and in use.

MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL

i Attorney A. H. Stockton, of the law firm of Townsend, Stockton & Drake, of Phoenix, and Henry G. Bodkin, of the firm of Ford & Bodkin, of Los Angeles, were in Flagstaff Monday in regard to motion for new trial in the case of Victor Gomez vs. the Town of Flagstaff and Walsh & Mo Lain, contractors. Attorney Stockton represented the plaintiff and Mir. Bod kin represented Walsh & McLain, with F. D. Crable, city attorney, defend- ing the town of Flagstaff. The mat ter was taken under advisement until the fifteenth of the month. It will be remembered that the defendants were sued in the last term of court and a Judgment rendered for $12,00O, and the action Monday is but continua- tion of the case.

BOTH FLAGSTAFF BALL
 TEAMS LOSE SUNDAY

Flagstaff's hopes of winning either or both of Sundays games received Knockout jolts, one administered by the Winslow team, which beat the battery team by II to '; the other by Williams, which goose-tgged the Flag staff town team, at the same time ac- cumulating seven runs for themselves.
 The Flagstaff Williams game was played here. It was simply case of our being outclassed both at the bat and in the field. The Williams boys played a snappy, fast game and prov ed themselves a high-class aggrega- tion. Their pitcher, arrived that day from California, where|he plays on college team, had puzzling delivery and the catcher, brought in from Se- ligman, was right there on the re- ceiving end.
 That son of Harry Gray's, who play ed first for Flag, was the only one who didn't care whether the opposing pitcher tossed him curves or straight balls. He slammed any old kind of offering, ran bases like a whirlwind, stole them whenever he felt like it and fielded beautifully. Howard, of Leupp, pitched dandy game for Flag, but poor support and the fact that Metz, like every other man so far catching him, was unable to hold all of his fast ones, helped to prevent his pulling the team through.
 The box score following tells the story. The same teams will play again next Sunday, at Williams, where Managers Sullivan and Kelly, of our team, hope for different end ing.

HOMES HERE MORE SCARCE
 THAN LAST SUMMER

The scarcity of homes is more mark ed this summer than il was last. At the Arizona Central Bank inquiries are received every day from people who want to buy or rent here. Con- gressman Carl Hayden, just home from Washington, was here Saturday trying to find home for his family, now in Tempe. Dr. Palmer, of Phoe- nix, is trying to get home here for his mother. Frank D. Lane, the Phoe- nix investment Szd real estate man, has written Dr. E. s. i.diller to try to find a home for himself and family. Scores of others want to come here for the summer or t) remain per manently, but all we have to offer is the municipal camping ground or permission to sleep in the court house yard.

Additional Local Items
DRY FARMERS ASKING
 FOR SPENCER WATER

The pipe-laying of the Spencer wat er-development project has advanced during the week to the foot of O'Leary
 peak, east of the Grand Canyon road. The welders are steadily following the pipe-laying, at the rate of 2,000 feet a day.
 The Arizona Cattle and Sheep com pany, Charles H. Spencer, managing director, which is laying this pipe east of San Francisco mountains for the purpose of supplying it's cattle with watering stations for use this summer and fall, is being met with urgent re- quests from neighboring dry-farmers that part of the water supply be di- verted to the use of their farms for land irrigation. Every day two or three of these interested landowners are on the scene of operations, asking for information as to how soon the water will be available for their use. Mir. Spencer, approached on the sub ject, puts the matter in this way:
 "The first and main purpose of this pipeline is to provide watering places for cattle, making available for pas turage a great area of good grass hitherto unused because of the ab- sence of water. The second object is to furnish water for domestic use, stock purposes and irrigation to the dry-farmers in parks adjoining the main line, which they can tap by their own laterals. A federal reserve bank has expressed it's willingness to loan dry-farmers the money necessary to cover the cost of putting in these lat erals. The third object is to make available for homestead entry large acreage of land, notably in Deadman's Flat, which this water supply will make productive. These three objects rank in importance in the order stated, but there is no reason why they can not be attained simultaneously, if or ganized effort is put forth to that end. A petition sent in by farmers inter- ested in this matter, who are located in Doney park, Black Bill park, Ken drick park and Deadman's fiat, all of which localities can be served by this water from San Francisco mountains, would be valuable as showing approx imately what amount of water would be required annually by the farming interests. This would help to syste- matize the demand from the farms and would help us to the extent of figuring how much of this demand could be met and the time necessary to complete the work. 1t seems to me that it is now up to the farmers as body to tell me what their needs are"

SPECUM SAYS HE
 WAS BEATEN UP

Wm. Specum walked into County Attorney F. M. Colds office on We'd nesday looking like he'd been trying to occupy the same room with crab bed female bobcat.

Crawford, foreman, and Rich ard Raymond, assistant foreman, for the Miller Construction Co.,, of the road crew building the Oak Creek cutoff.
 The two men were brought in that afternoon by Sheriff Jack Harring- tons office, and Justice of the Peace R. J. Kidd bound them over for trial tomorrow morning. They are charged with assault and battery.
 Specum was a member of the crew for the day and dispute came up when he was discharged.

NOW WANTS BATTERY
 TO HAVE 175 MEN

Captain E. M. Robison, commander of Battery A, received this week, through State Adjutant General In- gals, permission from the war de- partment at Washington to recruit up to 150 men in the battery. But now, that he has the permission, the cap tain is faced by another dilemma, for he has a waiting list extending away beyond 150 men, and will have to write for permission to enlist up to 175 men, or else disappoint many who want to join. He will write for the permission.

HAUL LOGS WITH
 NEGROES IN AFRICA

H. J. Sankey, an English forester from South Africa, is here studying logging methods as followed by the Flagstaff Lumber Go. and the A. l.. & T. Go. Sankey says that where he comes from, when they want to haul log, they put forty to sixty negroes on it, with two or three other negroes using the lash. The haulers get 30 cents a day, each, he says, and after a year or so hauling, are pretty likely to quit unless they are promoted to lashmen.

 The Battery boys did not show their best form at Winslow. But they put up good game, against very strong team, and came home sorry because they had lost, but enthusiastic in praise of the royal treatment they re- ceived at Winslow, where everything possible was done for their comfort. Manager Lorren Cress says that John Branigan has as fine a bunch of gen tlemen in that team of his as can be met anywhere.
 The Winslow team will play here on Sunday, and it is hoped that big crowd will turn out to see them. It is one of the strongest teams in north ern Arizona, and the fans should see them in action and at the same time should do all they can to treat them as kindly as Winslow's players and townspeople did the battery team last Sunday
 The battery for Flagstaff was May and Browning. eFatures of the game were home runs by Browning and O'Connor, of Flagstaff.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
 ENDORSES BITHULITHIC

Flagstaff people are mighty well pleased that the city council recom- mended the bithulithic type of pay ing for the National Old Trails through the city, and, on Saturday, the executive committee of the cham Der of commerce sent the following letter to State Engineer Tom Mad dock.
 Mir. Thos. Maddock, State Engineer,
 Phoenix, Arizona.
 Dear Sir:-The common council of the town of Flagstaff on the 3rd inst, recommended to you the "Warrenite Type" of pavement on the federal aid project within the town of Flagstaff. The Flagstaff Chamber of, Con- merce, acting through it's executive committee desires to express to you the sentiment of themselves and the people whom they represent, and do hereby advise, that they are in hearty accord with the action of the common council.
 They also urge that the contract be awarded to Warren Bros, at the earl jest possible moment, as the citizens of the town of Flagstaff are anxious to have the work begun without de- lay. Thanking youin advance for prompt attention to this matter, we remain,
 Very respectfully yours,
 w. H. SWITZER,
 M. I. POWERS,
 T. F. STALL,
 J. B. GUNTER,
 GEO. T. HARRINGTON,
 Eexecutive Committee. Very probably, the state engineer would have accepted the councils rec ommendation, anyway, but the busi- ness men here feel that, as long as the bid for bithulithic pavement was lit- tie higher than that for concrete pave- ment, the state engineer should know that the slight difference in cost is no objection to Flagstaff taxpayers when weighed against the undoubted super iority of .bithulithic over concrete in this climate.
 Flagstaff is very anxious to have the paving work start as soon as pos sible. The members of the council look for favorable action by Mir. Mad dock withinsthe next week or so, and believe that the actual work of con- struction will begin before the end of this month.

AND PIRATES
IN DOUBLE BILL
Eppa Rixey Crosses "Jinx" and
Gavvy cravath's Athletes Fl
naIIy Defeat Buccaneers

Pittsburgh. Pa, July 10.-''It's n
"Gavvy" Cravath, and the long trail
ended yesterday as far as defeat at the
hands of-the Pirates is concerned, when
Eppa Rixey put the kibosh on the Buc-
cancers to the tune Of to 1. Each
pitcher yielded nine hits yesterday, the
Pirates horning in with a double and
a triple. both by Walter Schmidt. but
the Phils went them one better, as Paul
cite emulated Schmidt with two -baser'
and a three ply hit, followed in the
last inning by Wrightstone's homer that
scored another run ahead Of him.
Rixey's work showed best with men on
base and three times the Pirates went
out with two of them Juggling at the
leash begging their teammates for a hit.
Cutshaw was given life in the second
when Rawlings messed up his roller and
reached second on Grimm's sacrifice.
Barbara beat out hit to first, but Gut
shaw stayed on at third and then tried to
score when Schmidt hit to Rixey and
was an easy out.H Carlson was then
disposed of and the danger was averted.
In the fifth inning, after the Pirates had
scored their run on Schmidt's triple and
Bigbee's single, Carey followed with q
single, but again did Rixey tighten up
and get the next man. He showed his
caliber in the ninth inning with second
and third occupied by making Heffner
put up fly for Cy Williams.
incidentally Cy made one of the
greatest catches ever seen at Forbes
Field. 1t came in the first inning and
Bigbee was the victim. He landed on
the old apple and it sailed to the
center field fence with Williams in no,
pursuit. The big boy leaped like q
kangaroo and speared the pill with his
gloved hand, the crowd cheered him for
several minutes.
If Cravath gets good pitching today
he stands good chance to cop both
games, as Ponder and Hamilton haven't
shown much this year.

PLAY DOUBLES IN
DAVIS CUP TENNIS
TiIden and Johnston, American
Pair, Meet Colbert and Lau-
rentz, of France, Today

-Eastbourne, England, July .10.-To-
days play in the Davis Cup elimina-
tion match between the United States
and France was looked forward to con-
fidently by the admirers Of the Ameri-
can team as likely to decide the issue
in favor of the American players.
The match carded for today was the
doubles with William NJ. Johnston, Of
California, and William T. Tilden, of
Philadelphia, the American pair, and
Andre II. Colbert and William II. Lau-
rentz, the French representatives.
The first complete days play gave
the Americans a commanding lead Of
two matches to none, Johnston having
defeated Colbert and Tilden having
taken the measure Of Laurentz. The
team winning three out of a possible
FIVE matches becomes the victor. and
to win the contest the Americans needed
only to capture one more match.
In the British national champion
ships at Wimbledon Tilden and John
ston met and defeated Colbert and Lau-
rentz, the pair against whom they con-
tend today.
Tilden in his match yesterday with
Laurentz lost the first set, the French
man winning Cd. Laurentz, playing
in form immeasurably superior to thht
shown nt Wimbledon, seemed to like
the dead court with its low bounds. He
made wonderful returns to the side
lines, frequently winning a point by re-
turning Tildren's terrific services.
The Frenchman led 2 to in the sec
ond set, when Tilden made great ef-
fort, chiefly employing the cut shot
return, bringing the score to to z.
Tiden won this set 6-2.
In the third set the American started
in strong style, winning the first three
games. He played chiefly from the
base line, concentrating upon return :
ing the ball short to Laurentz's feet
WHEN the latter came to the net. Lau-
rentz by distinctive service and hard
volleying secured the fourth game.
There was a great struggle for the
sixth game, but the Philadelphia player
captured his opponents service after
deuce was called several times, and
finally secured the third set 6-1.
The server dominated the first four
games in the fourth set. Tilden, with
n number of wonderful cut shots to the
line, then took the fifth game on his
opponents service. With beautiful di-
agonal yolleying the American took the
sixth and led 4 to 2. Then Laurentz
took his service game and Tilden fol-
lowed suit. The final game of the
match went to the American making the
score for the fourth set 6-3.
