BASEBALL DOPE,

The sun rose in Williams but it set
n Winslow. So did the ball PLAYERS
rom Williams think, Did Winslow
win? Why most assuredly. Some
ching over two hundred of the natives
came out to watch their idols do a
house-cleaning job. and they were not
disappointed. Of course the wind
bothered the aggregation from Will
iams but then it was an even break
I'll the way. To say the least the
Ninslow fans learned for a certainty
hat the locals defeat of Needles was
lot mere accident and were not for
he fact that manager Hixon was
cry careful, the locals might have
I'm themselves to death.
Hall pitched an excellent game cons
idering the condition of the weather
nd received good support from the
len behind him as we'll as the good
cheering of the rooters Perhaps it
yas home run that took the heart
ut of Johnny Barstow, the Williams
'itcher. Of course the Winslow
layers never figured Williams to win
ince two of the latter's players were
liscards from the local aggregation.
oe Voelker and John Barstow still
llay fairly good ball even though
hey are now in the minor league.
Ihe Winslow ball players wish to
state that if given a fair chance in
GOOD weather they will put on game
nat will please the fans. The wind
will stop some of these days we are
ure, The coming Sunday Winslow
lays Gallup at Gallup and it is un-
lerstood that quite a number of the
ocal fans will go east to watch the
miners get good trimming.

ELKS MINSTREL BIG SUCCESS.

The Elks Minstrel given by the To-
cal Elks Lodge at the Opera House
Thursday evening was a complete
success in every way, The house was
packed to the door and everyone ap-
parently enjoyed the performance
throughout. The show was composed
wholly of home talent and each and
every number was excellent and we'll
received by the large audience, 1t,
would be unfair to the balance of the
company to say that anyone was the
star of the performance as the whole
show was very good and far above
the average of a home talent per-
formance in any town, especially is
this true of the large chorus who
performed better than many road
shows which we have seen, The sue
cess of the performance was due in
a large measure to Ed. Florin. who
was the leader of the excellent nine
piece orchestra and who had the su-
perVisiOn of all rehearSals and has
been a tireless worker for weeks in
whipping the performance into shape.

| The soldiers of the World War have
not only saved their own nation from
oppression and dishonor but have
saved the world from retrogression to
the gross tyranny of militaristic gov

mitted to live and work out its aims
and democracy has been spared a.
